It is just a way of sharing some of the news of the world which I found rather interesting, mind-stimulating, or simply something I read and found it interesting enough to be shared with others.
I should make a proper indexing to this subject title, so it will remain part of the active archive list of postings.
So here it goes:
- Islamic-finance grows in the USA (click source)
- Nobel peace prize winner 2006: Mr. Muhammad Yunus, an economy professor of Chittagong university turned Grameen Bank Founder became this year's Nobel Laureate for inventing microcredit schemes to help the poors in Bangladesh. More news at:
- An impetus to battle poverty: Reuters
- Bangladesh celebrates first Nobel Prize: AFP
- Nobel for anti-poverty pioneers: BBC-1
- World banker to the poorer: BBC-2
- Banker wins Nobel Peace Prize: Guardian
- Champion of the poor: The Times
- Another Nobel Prize winner, Orhan Parmuk from Turkey who was tried last year over charges of insulting turkish national identity (click source2)
- Headscarf is compulsory for non-muslim students at a new Islamic school in Leicester, UK (click source 3 , source4)
- To the moon and Beck: Surprise, surprise, but after a dismal performance having lost to Croatia 2-0 on a Euro2008 qualifying match, the resigned captain and ousted England player, David Beckham's service is once again in need. Not long ago, he was completely thrown out of Steve McLaren team (possible clash of opinions apart from Beck's sissy , overblown metrosexual image). Now, many English are inquiring for him to be recruited back to his old team, which is now captained by John Terry, a Chelsea club captain. Yet, some people did lick their own filthy spits so to speak, boohoo shame on them! But on second thought, english football fans can be a bunch of psycho lot. They worship those who scored the winning goal but if that footballer slacken a bit (or they say that chap has lost his marbles) or the whole team kept losing, they definitely will find something/someone to be blamed for. And man, they can be very harsh on putting down someone's spirit or shaming him in public. OK, it's not just the english football fans, it's whatever sport with huge-followers and from whichever countries around the world, like baseball and american football for the americans, football for italians, english, brazilian for eg, and so on.

so first four are short notes related to Islam in some way, then finally a long one on Becks? just one of the boys, huh? :)
That's because there're just soooo much to talk (gossip more likely) about that fella than the others. Hey, sharp observation of u.
Still, i think DB is a legend whether we like it or not. I don't drool over him, mind u. He brought glamour back into soccerworld.
Manal, the news links no longer work (practically each of them). Maybe I just check them some other time or they have removed them from the net.
abdun,
I've editted my HTML settings and now you may have a go at those links. Thanks for informing me about it.
