DEL MAR, Calif. (AP) - Fed Biz rallied after being passed in deep stretch to win the $100,000 El Cajon Stakes by a neck at Del Mar on Friday, giving Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert his record 100th stakes victory at the seaside track.
Baffert is the career leader in stakes wins at Del Mar, ahead of second-place Ron McAnally, who has 75. Fed Biz gave the trainer his 18th victory of the meet, moving him into a three-way tie atop the trainers' standings with suspended Doug O'Neill and Peter Miller with four days remaining in the 37-day meet.
``Del Mar has always been special for me. I claimed my first horse here,'' Baffert said. ``I've had a lot of good horses through the years here and I've been really fortunate to have all those good horses.''
Jimmy Creed returned $3.20 and $2.40, while Unusual Heatwave was another 1 1/4 lengths back and paid $2.20 to show.
Considered a top Triple Crown prospect last winter, Fed Biz was sent to the sidelines after wins in two starts at Santa Anita.
The victory, worth $60,000, increased Fed Biz's career earnings to $131,100, with three wins in four starts.

text: Ofra Haza(1957-2000)Of Yemenite origin, Ofra Haza's talent was first recognized in the children's theater group she belonged to in her poor Tel Aviv Hatikvah neighborhood. She earned roles as a soloist from the 1970's and thereafter her professional career as a singer of popular music was launched. She represented Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest and achieved extensive acclaim internationally as a recording artist, especially of Yemenite song. In 1992, Ofra's album Kirya was nominated for the Grammy Awards for the best album in the World Beat category and, two years later, she performed at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Oslo at the request of the late prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. Perhaps her biggest break in terms of exposure to an American audience occurred when she was featured on the soundtrack of the animated film, The Prince of Egypt. In February 2000, Haza suddenly died of massive organ failure at the age of 42. Source: Joint Authority for Jewish Zionist Education and news reports. |

WASAGA BEACH - Police in Wasaga Beach on Thursday charged a 40-year-old local man with driving a vehicle that had a radar-warning device.
Such devices, used to detect police radar, are illegal to operate in Ontario.
Huronia West OPP says that around 6:20 p.m., an officer on patrol on Golf Course Road detected a vehicle with a radar-warning device.
The vehicle was stopped and an investigation took place.
The driver was charged with having a radar-warning device, driving without a license and operating a vehicle with a license plate that wasn't completely visible.

Photographer David Firestine never runs out of places to snap his shots. Leafing through his portfolio, one finds David's subjects standing in dumpsters, lying in the street, or simply posing pensively before some textured, abstract background. His lens demonstrates a flair for focus, blurring passing trains and approaching Cthulus in the background while the subjects in the forefront virtually leap out of the shot with startling crispness. David's naturally creative energy motivates outside-the-box shots while his artistic eye assesses design, form, color, and tone. Mostly, he wants his clients to have fun, and he is willing to match them stride-for-stride in terms of nonconventionality, or rein in his flair and adjust his shots to match his client's tastes and desires.

Update: Winscribe congratulates all the riders on succesfully reaching the finish line. What a fantastic effort!
For the past 9 years, cyclists from around the world have taken part in the annual Tour D'Afrique, a gruelling, 4 month long cycle race from Cairo to Cape town either individually, or as part of a relay team – a whopping 12,000kms all up. And it's all in the name of charity.
One of Winscribe's customers, the Australian contingent of law firm DLA Phillips Fox will send a relay team of dedicated cyclists to tough it out through 8 stages. Starting in January 2011, their goal will be to help fund an ActionAid project in Malawi that will provide safe, clean drinking water to 4 village communities in the remote region of Kabunduli. This project will directly benefit 3500 people and help them make positive changes for the future.
The event will be working in conjunction with charity organisation ActionAid to help make a difference. ActionAid is an international anti-poverty agency working in over 40 countries, working with poor people to end poverty and injustice together. Working in partnership with over 2,000 organisations - from small community groups to national alliances and international networks ActionAid works to address the root causes of poverty, not just the effects.
Winscribe is incredibly proud to be sponsoring DLA Phillips Fox on this journey, and we hope that you'll join us in supporting this event!.
You can read more about ActionAid and the amazing work they do by clicking here.
Winscribe will feature regular updates on the riders' progress across the upcoming months, and you can follow their triumph's (or tribulations!) as they make their way South.

Does anyone know of any great places to go to in Perth?
Clubs, bars, any good restaurants?
31st October 2007, 06:50 PM
There is one official gay club in Perth, http://www.connectionsnightclub.com/. We also have a pub (www.thecourt.com.au) and a few gay friendly venues (the brisbane hotel, and luxe bar for starters). Most places in Northbridge are gay friendly, you've just missed the annual Pride Festival that runs through the month of October, culminating in the Pride Parade and party on 27th October (there's photos on the front page of samesame right now).
Check out the queer business directory www.qpages.com.au for lots of gay friendly businesses.
31st October 2007, 08:20 PM
Thank you for getting back to me, very kind of you
22nd December 2007, 07:02 PM
What days are good to go to these places?
I went to Connections once. It was so dead and boring, I just wanted to get out of there. :mad:
1st April 2008, 07:04 PM
In June i have to come to Perth for business at Claremont Showgrounds is there any hotels/motels close to that venue and is Claremont close to Perth city area?

How come we don't have our own Perth forum here?
Tim D
19th April 2008, 10:09 AM
Ask and ye shall receive is all that's required.
If there are more than 5 people who post here wanting a Perth forum then we'll open one up for you.
19th April 2008, 11:20 AM
Ah ok! Cheers, mate! Thanks for that info!
22nd July 2008, 11:29 PM
If I could, I would like to second the request for a Perth forum.
26th August 2008, 11:07 AM
Count me in. A perth forum would be great!
3rd September 2008, 01:58 PM
I know this thread's a bit old now, but there's a GREAT new queer night in Perth - ZOO. It's on Sundays from 8pm at Bar Open on Willliam St (entry via laneway at the rear, most appropriately..)
Highly, highly recommended..
3rd September 2008, 02:05 PM
Coolies! I think I will check it out.
11th October 2008, 04:12 AM
open a perth forum!\
why do we have to ask.......? makes no sense.
19th December 2008, 03:06 AM
Yes please samesame, open a Perth forum for us poor west coasties!!
Re gay-friendly parties, try my Spank! kinky dance parties (now posted on samesame's events)! They're fetish & fantasy dress-up nights that very quickly attracted a large, flirty and faithful following among Perth's alternative crowd, straight, gay, fetishistas, swingers... all sorts. Spank! delivers stunning live shows, pumping dance & twisted tekno, a dungeon for light BDSM play, roving entertainers, and wall-to-wall costumes & eye candy due to our 'no outfit no entry' rule. Sorry, no sex or full nudity allowed - though we're in discussions to put on other naughtier Spank parties at another venue with a more liberal licence ; - )
Please see www.spankproductions.com.au for more info, or join the Spank! facebook group 'SpankParty Australia' to be in on the very latest developments.
The next Spank! is 'Circus Berserk' on Sat 28th Feb (labour day long weekend). Our last party got 500 people, this one may even sell out prior to the event. Tickets available now online, check website for outlet details and Ticketmaster link.
19th December 2008, 03:19 AM
Hi there,
I think we have the necessary 5 people voting for a Perth forum even if it has taken us a while to get there!
Fingers crossed you can get this set up for us - would be brilliant!
27th January 2009, 04:14 PM
Make it 6 - we definitely need a Perth forum :-)
Also I wonder if there are other bisexual professional women who might be interested in networking?
14th May 2009, 02:57 PM
Is there any progress on getting a dedicated Perth forum? Even the NT has one?
18th June 2009, 07:32 PM
Count me in for a Perth forum: love to know what's going on and who's around!
22nd June 2009, 06:47 PM
A Perth forum would be great
23rd June 2009, 09:20 AM
I know people, how do we persuade samesame to get us this west coast forum eh... we've got more than the minimum number of people and still nothing. Waaah! I'll try to contact them directly and ask again... wish me luck x
Tim D
23rd June 2009, 11:31 AM
Hey guys, we hear you and we'll open up a Perth forum.

Woohoo. Thanks Tim. Now we just need to get the Perth community to take it up and get posting.
Tim D
26th June 2009, 09:33 AM
And the new forum is live!
26th June 2009, 09:54 AM
Yay, that's cool - but when I move my mouse over the 'forums' button on the menu, Perth doesn't appear there... where have you hidden it?!
Looking forward to seeing if Perthites take this up, here's hoping so!!
Cheers, Muffie
Tim D
26th June 2009, 12:13 PM
Hey Muffie,
It will be added to the Nav Bar in about a week.
26th June 2009, 12:21 PM
Cool! Thanks Tim.
2nd July 2009, 09:51 AM
Nice one, can't wait!
2nd July 2009, 10:27 AM
Well, it certainly ain't any more! Connections is usually jumping, especially after midnight. Sexy without being sleazy, it's a great venue as they're always updating the decor, they have fab DJs now too (was a bit crap for a while but now the music is brilliant on the whole), and they have a roof terrace for smokers - bliss! Connections is HOT!!

FCC Grants Itself the Power to Regulate the Internet
December 21, 2010 0 CommentsAs reported earlier this month, the FCC decided to try and fix what's not broken, by following through on its intention to claim jurisdiction over the Internet. Today, they've issued a broad set of rules dictating what an internet provider can and cannot do, even though Congress has previously declined to grant them such power, and the federal Courts have previously denied them, as well.
In essence, the FCC wants to micro-manage a conflict between Comcast and BitTorrent that was settled 2 years ago already by natural market forces. Currently, anti-trust powers of the federal government belong to the Department of Justice and can only be exercised in the presence of a bonafide monopoly. Basically, anyone not happy with Comcast's service can still find alternatives.
Since the decision split was completely partisan, expect this battle to continue on in Congress next year where Republicans in the House will threaten to cut off FCC funding, as well as in the Courts which will probably rule against the FCC again in the absence of a specific grant of Congressional authority.
Unfortunately, the unintended consequence of such "activism" in government is the general slowdown of economic growth. Businesses want to be able to project their marketing climate at least 5 years in the future. And a continuing battle in 2011 over whether internet providers can ration the internet as granted by the FCC is sure to add incredible uncertainty to any business that relies upon online sales.

chiari malformation
i have so far had a rough week. a constant nagging headache that wont go away, and with one cough or sneeze, it goes to a full blown migraine that has me in the fetal postion in bed quicker than you can say "ouch". sometimes its just hard to deal with it all. i wish i could make plans or even go out but at this point, i cant. the headaches and migraines come on so fast and so suddenly, not to mention the constant nausea, tremors, weakness not only in my hands but now sometimes in my legs, etc. its too much of a risk for me to go out. im lucky im even aloud behind the wheel. which im usually not because im smart enough not to drive on a sick day. i just wish these sick days were few and far between but theyre not. theyre 4-5 days a week on a GOOD WEEK. most of the time its every day. i cant even laugh anymore because it hurts to most of the time. and the rare day i dont have a headache or a migraine, i am anxious waiting for it to start.
i know god never gives us more than we can handle, but why does he think i can handle so much? how does he see me as such a strong person if i cant see it in myself? and i know this is supposed to teach me something, i just wish i knew what already. he does things for a reason, he doesnt give us obstacles for no reason, but why does this lesson, whatever it is supposed to teach me, have to be so painful and hard? i just want it over with. to wake up one day without any symptoms and not be on my toes waiting for them to start.

Perfectly said, This is the way I feel most times too. I know we try to be positive & optomistic, But I also know that I can only feel good for a short time, and I keep waiting for the day it will hit again, kinda like it's hiding just right around the corner, getting ready to strike again.
I am so sorry that you are having such a tough time right now. I myself just came out of a 4 week, (every day) long battle.
I know our sickness is like warfare, we live one day at a time, sometimes minute by minute or hour by hour, But we all do the best we can.
Hold fast to Jesus, he is the only true way to find the strength we need , the spiritual renewal to help us carry the heavy burden & the faith to keep believing that even though God will sometimes tell us no for reasons unknown that he still knows best. As it says in Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding"
I pray that you will find that strength to endure this storm (illness) until God decides to remove your pain and that you will also recieve the peace that passes all understanding. My heart & prayers go out to you!!!!

Calvert's Thomas, Great Mills' Woodland named MOPs
By TAMMY SHOWALTER
Staff writer
With Calvert winning the Southern Maryland Holiday Tournament boys trophy on Friday evening at Great Mills High School after a 65-58 victory over host Great Mills, Calvert senior guard Datavious Thomas was awarded the boys tournament's Most Outstanding Player award.
On the girls side of the action, after Great Mills shut the door on the Braves and captured the trophy for their showcase, 47-38, senior Tyniece Woodland was selected as the girls tournament's Most Outstanding Player. India King, Woodland's teammate, was also selected to the team.
As for Thomas, he is going to display the plaque next to his All-SMAC football award. Teammate Jermaine Hunter was also selected for the team. The two posed for photos together after the game, surrounded by family and fans.
Hunter scored 17 points and Thomas added 15 in the championship game over Great Mills. Thomas said his team stayed focused and worked as a team to get the win.
"We want to go all the way," Thomas said. "We weren't playing as aggressive as well should have in the first quarter, but we got it back in the second half."
Calvert head coach Jeremy Kurutz said that his team got off to a slow start against Chopticon in the first game of the tournament, a 68-50 Cavaliers win, but put the Hornets in a situation where they had to go after his club. Kurutz added that he was happy with the way his team moved the ball around and created open shots.
"You can expect that [slow start] in a holiday tournament where everyone's probably not having the same practices and I'm sure some have hit the cookie tray over the break," Kurutz said. "Great Mills gave us a rough game. It was the same as last year. It was a battle till the end. Every possession mattered, we were able to get on the better end of that. I think Josh [Smith] hurt them inside and we have some athletes that can get up there and finish."
Great Mills junior guards Tyreek Murray and Melquan Williams were also selected to the team. Murray said he feels as if his hard work is finally starting to pay off for him in his transition from King's Christian Academy to Great Mills.
"It felt good to be selected to the tournament team," Murray said. "I work hard and it's kind of paid off, even though we didn't win."
Williams said his desire to play with heart and intensity is what it took to make the all-tournament team and he wasn't too surprised when his name was called.
Leonardtown senior forward Desmont Jones was selected to the team as well as Chopticon senior forward David Mason.
"Desmont had a great tournament this year," Raiders head coach David Holland said. "He scored 23 points against Great Mills in our first game and 22 against Chopticon in our second game. In addition to scoring, he is our main inside presence. He leads our team in rebounding and is a smart defensive player. He definitely has the all-around ability to play at the college level."
On the girls side, Woodland, who dominated from the three-point line, said it felt good to receive the award. She scored a game-high 17 points in the championship win over Chopticon.
"We're hustling," Woodland said. "We never stop playing, even when we're down, we hustle all the time."
King, a sophomore, finished with 12 points.
"I was a little nervous [at first], but I got over it," King said of coming into the holiday tournament. "I've been working on my shooting, my wrists and just handling the ball."
Chopticon junior guard Tyaira Priest and senior forward Mary Beth Pappas were selected as well as Leonardtown's Jasmyn Ogletree and Thomas Stone's Keisha Davis.
Leonardtown girls head coach Christen Doerrer was proud of Ogletree's effort throughout the tournament as she battled cramps in her calves.
"Jasmyn is working hard on both offense and defense in our last few games," Doerrer said. "In the tournament, she had 17 points and 14 rebounds in two games, but more importantly than statistics, her effort has been fantastic."

Taste: 5/5 This was one of the best apple flavored products I have tried. It can be very sour, or refreshing depending on how much water you add. The thing I liked best about it was it reminded me more of a true apple flavor, not just a fake candy type.
Mixabilty: 5/5 Mixed very easily in shaker cup. Had typical settling, some foaming, to be expected from a product like this, so no biggie.
Pump: 5/5 Pump x3 definitely delivers in the pump category. I took 2 scoops most days, and some of the pumps were painful, but I love it. On shoulder days, I would do band spider crawls, and I would almost have tears in my eyes lol. I think one leg day I did 2 scoops plus 1 scoop High Volume, not a good idea lol. 1 Scoop pump x3 is probably plenty on leg days.
I love the fact it's a non stim. I was able to mix it with various products, Alphamine, Focus XT, Volatile etc with no issues.
Overall a great product!

Is the coffee maker overclocked? Try setting it back to default. Maybe doing a spyware scan and a defrag would help.

Fr. Michael Pfleger donned a hood during Mass on Sunday at St. Chicago's Sabina Church in honor of Trayvon Martin, 17, who was fatally shot in Florida by a man on neighborhood watch.
At the service, several dozen children wearing hooded sweatshirts formed a circle around the altar, one holding a sign reading, "We are all Trayvon Martin." An African-carved statue in the sanctuary was also wearing a hood and holding a bag of Skittles and a can of tea, as young Martin was when he was killed.
Afterward, teens joined by young adults stood at an intersection near the church calling for an end to shooting.
Give a Christmas gift that lasts all year. Give the gift of NCR!
Pfleger said it is time for concerned adults to demand that authorities take action against increasing violence.
He and his parish have long campaigned against guns and violence on the city's South Side.

Antioxidants in Red vs. Green Grapes
Total phenolic content, a laboratory index of antioxidant strength, is higher in purple varieties due almost entirely to anthocyanin density in purple grape skin compared to absence of anthocyanins in white grape skin.[1]
Anthocyanins were the main phenolics in red grapes ranging from 69 (Crimson Seedless) to 151 (Flame Seedless) mg/kg fresh weight of grapes, whereas flavan-3-ols were the most abundant phenolics in the white varieties ranging from 52 (Dominga) to 81 (Moscatel Italica) mg/kg fresh weight of grapes. [2]
Red wine: Exercise in a bottle?
New research study published in the FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org), suggests that the "healthy" ingredient in red wine, resveratrol, may prevent the negative effects that spaceflight and sedentary lifestyles have on people.
Scientists studied rats that underwent simulated weightlessness by hindlimb tail suspension and were given a daily oral load of resveratrol. The control group showed a decrease in soleus muscle mass and strength, the development of insulin resistance, and a loss of bone mineral density and resistance to breakage. The group receiving resveratrol showed none of these complications. Study results further demonstrated some of the underlying mechanisms by which resveratrol acts to prevent the wasting adaptations to disuse-induced mechanical unloading.
The Stuff in Grapes vs. other foods…
So this article said :
Grapes contain large amounts of tartaric and malic acids. Also present in grapes are other acids like succinic, fumaric, glyceric, p-coumaric and caffeic, each functioning quietly with its own wonderful healing properties.
Well I did some digging and remembering, and the first few acids are components of the krebs cycle, and can help regulate it. This article adds:
A large percentage of patients with the disorder fibromyalgia who have high amounts of tartaric acid in the urine respond favorably to treatment with malic acid (11-13)
Coumaric and Caffeic acid are antioxidants, among other things.
The linked article also said that grapes were both anti-coagulants and anti-inflammatory so I got curious about that…
This article says:
Grapes contain flavonoids which are phytonutrients that reduce blood clotting properties.
This one says
The pigments in brightly colored fruits, vegetables and berries contain many phytochemicals that have anti-inflammatory properties. One example is quercetin, which is found in apple and red onion skins and has strong anti-inflammatory properties.
I think I will add this to my list of reasons to eat fruit…I think the conventional view of fats, carbs, proteins and vitamins is so wrong - there are many things that are not on said list that are actually quite important, and just because you eat your grains or whatever else you eat that lacks a lot of these things that right now aren't given enough credit, your body suffers. I genuinely believe that American and world diets lean too much on grains and milk and synthetic sugars, and not enough of veggies, fruits and lean meats.
Grains have some antioxidants, but the values tend to be lower than those of fruits and vegetables, and you don't often read about grains being an anti-coagulant or something anti-inflammatory - or having lots of anti-oxidants, etc.
When you drink wine, you might be drinking some snakes
At a wine seminar back in NC, I met a vineyard owner who is quite proud that his vineyard still hand-picks it's grapes. Aside from being able to only the pick the best and ripe grapes, he cited one of the hidden benefits to this process is that most larger companies that use machines for harvest actually end up with a lot of snakes in the mix. As a wine lover (and extreme snake-fearer) this left me jaw-dropped for months.

Top 5 Reasons for Hijabophobia
For Muslims and non-Muslims alike, there's a new fear out there, and I call it "Hijabophobia." This irrational fear has crept into the subconscious of the unsuspecting all over the world. What is the cause of such ill feelings against a simple piece of cloth? Below is an attempt to understand this phenomenon.
The Most Recognizable Identifier of a Muslim Woman
What is the first thing you think of when you see a woman wearing a headscarf? Undoubtedly, the mental association between a woman wearing the headscarf and Islam is very strong. More than any other article of clothing, hijab has become the most recognizable identifier of Muslim women.
This point hit home for a family member of mine when we sat together in a waiting room in one of Los Angeles' largest hospitals. He witnessed several people pass by enthusiastically offering their salaam (greeting, literally peace) and asking how we were doing. Afterwards, my family member turned to me and said, "Do you know these people?" This was the first time he witnessed how powerful the hijab was as an identity marker in public. How did they know I was Muslim? Undoubtedly, the headscarf was a clear giveaway.
With this strong association comes a myriad of pre-conceived notions, a sense of mystery (does she have hair?), stereotypes, and just plain fear. For many Non-Muslims, the headscarf represents a religion that is foreign and one they do not understand. The natural outcome, therefore, for those who fear the religion, is to fear its most apparent manifestation.
This intensified attention placed on the headscarf and on the women who wear it is much to the chagrin of some Muslim women. The emphasis placed on the head scarf leaves them feeling stuck in an un-engaging discourse at the expense of other pressing issues affecting the well-being of some Muslim women and girls around the world. This emphasis in and of itself tends to turn Muslim women away from wanting to learn about this practice, and as a result creates ill-feeling. Unfortunately, a vicious cycle is created where increased talk around the hijab is aroused (to defend its basis in Islam), and again some women feel repelled by the concept even further.
Associated with Oppression and Misogyny
There has been a surge of thought within the Muslim community that misogynistic views distort Islamic rulings. Granted that male chauvinism is a massive problem within the Muslim community that leads to such things as physical and mental abuse, double standards, and government-sanctioned transgression against women and girls, it is a worldwide issue affecting all cultures and religions.
Some say the disrespect of women has influenced the Qur'anic scholars of old to interpret ayat (verses of the Qur'an) to serve their own negative agendas: to oppress women. Those who feel that our fiqh (creed) is tainted with misogynistic opinions therefore argue that hijab is a result of such ill will towards women.
This type of reasoning has been viewed as liberating and refreshing. However, in reality, this is damaging and self-serving. Instead of searching for the wisdom behind some of Allah's commandments concerning women, some use this argument as a license to refute basic Islamic principles relating to women's dress and gender relations.
Out of Place in Western Society
Trying to adhere to an Islamic dress code in the West is challenging to say the least. Going against the modern current of wearing revealing clothing such as shorts that barely cover one's underwear is like a fish swimming upstream. Amidst a sea of scantily clad bodies on the beach a Muslim woman feels totally out of place, yet proud. She is proud that she is not self-conscious and superficial enough to be pressured into wearing a one or two piece bathing suit just to fit in. Instead, she values herself and her religion and does not feel the need to debase herself by submitting to a dress code founded on true oppression—the sexualization of women and girls.
Not surprisingly, the American Psychological Association couldn't agree with this concept more. In 2007, the APA Task Force on the Sexualization of Girls reported several findings that point out the dangers of current fashion and media trends, and their effects on the healthy development of girls1 . In the report, the APA defined sexualization as any one of the following phenomena:
- a person's value comes only from his or her sexual appeal or behavior, to the exclusion of other characteristics;
- a person is held to a standard that equates physical attractiveness (narrowly defined) with being sexy;
- a person is sexually objectified — that is, made into a thing for others' sexual use, rather than seen as a person with the capacity for independent action and decision making; and/or
- sexuality is inappropriately imposed upon a person.
These concepts are more easily understood in light of a study conducted by the APA. Two sets of girls were put into dressing rooms. One set was wearing bathing suits and the other was wearing sweaters. Each set of girls then sat down in front of a mirror in the dressing room and was given a math test. Results showed that girls wearing the sweaters achieved far higher scores than their counterparts. Why? Girls with bathing suits were preoccupied with the way they looked, thereby affecting their ability to concentrate on the math test. Imagine then, how girls are affected on a daily basis amidst billboard ads, cartoons, movies, music videos, print ads, etc., that portray women and girls in a sexual manner.
Lack of Understanding of and Appreciation for the Scholarly Method
Lawyers and lawmakers alike would scoff at the idea that any layman can interpret U.S. law and understand its proper application. Yet, Muslims and non-Muslims share in the misguided idea that fiqh (jurisprudence) is a loose methodology of personal interpretations and whims. Just as a lawyer undergoes several years of education to reach his current professional status, so does the Muslim jurist who studies Shar'ia (Islamic law). How much alms tax should one pay? What are the conditions of a marriage contract? These are not issues that one answer without proper education in Islamic Law.
One would ponder then, do we respect our U.S. legislation to the exclusion of our Islamic law, the very law of the Holy Qur'an upon which Thomas Jefferson based the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution?2
Visual Disparity Between Outer Appearance and Inner Character
Finally, a major cause of "hijabophobia" is the disparity between how some Muslims behave and their outer appearance. People associate wearing hijab with piety. Undoubtedly, to follow one of Allah's commandments is a righteous deed in and of itself; and to wear the hijab in the West is a struggle. Yet, we must remember, it is possible to follow one commandment and err in another, regardless of whether this error is apparent to others or not. We are all human, susceptible to weakness of character and falling into sin. But, when women wearing the headscarf openly back-bite, are rude, or use foul language, a negative message is being sent. Some see this disparity and use this as an argument against wearing the hijab. Others who loosely associate themselves with Islam feel repelled from the religion even further. Unfortunately for women who wear hijab, their outwardly deeds become an instant invitation for judgment. No one knows if a Muslim really prays, fasts, or even pays zakat (charity). We shouldn't muddle ourselves in the finger-pointing game, ready and waiting to throw blame on our fellow Muslims. Instead, we should all be engaged in a continual spiritual journey on the path to Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala—exalted is He.
To conclude, we shouldn't fear one of the outer manifestations of our faith, the hijab. What we should fear is pushing each other away from the deen (religion), thereby creating animosity amongst each other. Our Muslim circles should encourage what is right, discourage what is wrong, and provide an "open door" atmosphere, fostering love and respect amongst our fellow brothers and sisters. May Allah grant us open minds and open hearts. Ameen.

"Lawyers and lawmakers alike would scoff at the idea that any layman can interpret U.S. law and understand its proper application."
Lawyers and lawmakers may scoff, but in the U.S. juries are composed of peers who do not generally have legal training, and it is they who decide the guilt or innocence of an individual. They can even contravene statutes under the concept of jury nullification (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nullification).
I think your misunderstanding highlights the point the writer is making.
There are many like you who feel that the shariah laws are made by "juries in the U.S.", while a more accurate interpretation of the role of the scholars in Islam would be the lawmakers and lawyers who help draft out the laws in a country.
I think if you are able to discern the difference between the two roles, you will have a more accurate picture of how Islamic laws are being derived from the Quran.
"Some say the disrespect of women has influenced the Qur'anic scholars of old to interpret ayat (verses of the Qur'an) to serve their own negative agendas: to oppress women. Those who feel that our fiqh (creed) is tainted with misogynistic opinions therefore argue that hijab is a result of such ill will towards women."
Yes. But it's also true that scholars are influenced by their culture, which includes how they perceive the roles of men and women, which in turn affects their understanding and interpretation of the Qur'an and sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). To not understand this fact and take it into consideration is "damaging and self-serving," too.
Not only are the scholars influenced by culture, you and I and everyone of us are influenced by cultural perceptions.
However I believe the writer is saying that our fiqh is separate from the influences of culture and customs. I think you will grasp this more clearly when you study deeper about how the scholars derived Islamic laws from the Quran and sunnah.
If everyone is influenced by cultural perceptions, then it is impossible for fiqh not to also be so influenced.
That is true, the scholars are influenced by their culture. But the basic principles in the quran and sunnah don't change. Their particular application in the world may change based on the particular conditions we are living in. This may lead to rules that we should follow being made more 'strict' or less 'strict'. However, I think the author is trying to say that though the scholars may make some mistakes, this is often used as an excuse to throw out rules wholesale in order to 'liberate' ourselves from any constraints so we can do whatever we want.
I think there is a wrong message here – hijab is not and was never a headscarf!! Hijab is defined in fiqh as wearing modestly what covers the whole body with a loose non-transparent garment. This implies a belief of a value and a manner of genuine and serious behavior in interaction with the outside world. The girls when they receive the message this way, the argument comes up: how a piece of cloth on the head would protect/harm anyone?? Surely Nothing – But it is the belief of how you should carry yourself seriously and genuinely with the outside world that would protect, and the way we present ourselves according to what Allah has decreed would for sure help us behave as recommended. What does it mean wearing a headscarf and wearing transparent or tight shirts and jeans with it??? I believe Nothing – it means the concept passed to these ladies is wrong – that hijab is just a headscarf that recognizes your religion!! You fulfilled Allah's command by putting this piece of cloth on the head! We really need to review our understanding and conception that we pass to our girls, hijab should reflect the value, principle, and the manner of self-respect, seriousness, and modesty before recognition of being from a different religion that non-muslims do not know about.
And Allah knows best.-
Exactly. good point. And let's not forget that hijab applies to both women and men.
Jazakallah khair for this great post!
Good article, but perhaps I may elaborate on the obvious. Hijabophobia exists because women are wearing hijabs, right ? More so it is a multitude of women who are wearing hijab to warrant a "phobic" response, i.e. if one or two were wearing, it would not be a big issue (that's why the ban in France is ludicrous). Further there are orthodox Jewish women who are distinctively dressed, but not surrounded by phobia. So one really thinks about, it is not so much Hijabophobia, as much as it is a distrust of Islam, as stated in the article, because wearing the Hijab clearly identifies a women as a "practising" Muslim.
So really it is not about hijabs, beards, masjids, islamic centers, religions relics, etc, but fundamentally of deen-ul islam itself.
Well…yes. I think (or at least hope)that the author of this article wrote it knowing why the phobia of hijab, beard, seeing Muslims pray in the manner they do, etc…all stem from the fear/distrust towards Islam that stems from ignorance towards the faith.
So I think that part is understood. However this article just highlights the off-shoot effect of a particular "MICRO"-phobia that stems from that large "MACRO"-phobia of the religion itself. Someone could write an article on "fist-length-beardophobia" and most of us would know where that fear really is rooted in…ignorance of the faith.
Another good point about why people view women in hijab as being oppressed is because often times people see hijabis walking around with their husbands for example that are dressed in form-fitting, stylish clothes (not to say hijabis can't be stylish)…yet their wives are modestly dressed with the hijab.
I think Muslim men forget that "hijab" pertains to them just as much as it does towards women too.
Good article but you forgot one point. Many muslim women and their families are afraid of being attacked by non-muslims. It is a personal safety issue.
Good point. That is probably a legitimate reason to loosen some of the restrictions. It all depends on the intention of the person. Is the intention an honest one of safety or is it just an excuse? It all depends from person to person. Each person is responsible for their own conscience.
Excellent article. I have just recently started to wear the niqab, and I stumbled upon this article after looking for some answers to my own niqab phobias. So far its been a blessing experience to cover the way Allah has enjoined upon Muslim women but Shaitaan is definitly playing with my mind and trying very hard to make me take it off. I would advise all Muslim women who have doubts about wearing hijab that in order to accept any law or instruction by Allah, you need to either be convinced of the benefit behind it or to trust in the wisdom of the one who prescribed it. Muslims believe that the wisdom of God is absolute and perfect and that He knows the nature and best interests of His creations (mankind included) better than they do themselves; thus, a believer willingly obeys God's directives as much as he or she is able. To some, the matter of women's dress might seem trivial. Islam, however, assigns to it moral, social and legal dimensions. When women observe the proper Islamic dress, they protect their own honor and reputation and contribute greatly towards peace and order in society. Don't let Shaitaan decieve you with his lies and take Al- Wali (The protecting friend)as the only defender. Allah is also Al-Mani(The preventor of harm), so before you go out into this deceitful world, pray to Al-Mujib (The responder to prayer) and make dua to him with sincerity to protect you and give you courage because hijab in itself is a jihad. Don't forget that the love of the slave to His Lord and His Messenger is in their Obedience and avoiding their Disobedience. -
Interesting article but all this talk on hijab bothers me. It seems in Islam the way you dress has become more important than what is in your heart and gets the most attention. All women's talks are either about wearing the hijab correctly (Im pretty sure the sisters already know what is and isnt correct) or marriage. This leads to other muslims using the hijab or the way a muslim woman dresses to judge her. (Dont pretend that doesnt happen!) As sister Azza showed above with her comment on scarf with jeans, sister- you dont know where that person is in their journey, for some people hijab is difficult to wear and to get to the point it sounds like you are already at it may take others yrs. Some people have to take things in stages. But comments like a scarf with jeans is not hijab is not helpful to that sister. Dress amongst muslims seems to be a covert way to identify the religiosity. Its wrong. I hope we can change this soon. Next time you see a sister wearing her hijab as you deem incorrect, dont judge her, instead make dua for her. Please get past the dress for muslims and see them for themselves. -
I agree anon, we don't know and can't judge others….I for one know a sister who wears the full jilbab and she is rude and she portrays a bad stereotype especially when mingling with non Muslims, it makes me think she's not a better Muslim because of how she dresses but she's worse as she thinks she's already better than others and is slightly arrogant, it's gone to her head because she dresses " Islamic" and I know other sisters who are talking to non Muslims and integrating and may help dawah but they are not dressed as "Islamic " .
Let people choose and remember we should never put down any of our sisters and brothers.
Liked the article especially the last bit. -
Alhumdulillah, everything that this sister wrote is so relatable. We just finished doing the tafseer of Surah al-Ma'idah ayah 14 and in that we learned that animosity and hatred in our hearts is actually one of the punishments of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Today Muslims are fascinated by the lives of people of other religions, ignoring our own deen. While we may see them as prosperous and successful, the reality is this is actually a test for them.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will show us the truth on the Day of Judgment. May we take inspiration from the lives of the Prophets, their righteous companions and the pious predecessors. And may He prevent us from being a fitnah for this world or being the source that causes hatred and divide among the Muslim Ummah, aameen.
Really it was an informative and inspiring post. JazakiAllahu khairan to the sister.
look, bottom line is that the topic is one of the various compliance topics encoded in the Islamic religion. there is the fiqh aspect, in terms of what we believe it means, based on the best reasoning employed. there is the faith aspect, whereby different people will be at different stages on the matter. this is absolutely no different from any other requirement not considered a criminal issue e.g. charity, backbiting, solat, congregational solat, zakat, da'wa, conflict mediation, visiting the sick, etc.
that it is often prioritised over every one of these other things, and that it is often taken as a litmus test to indicate adherence of these other things, that we cannot take it simply as one thing someone is doing right now to the extent that they're doing it, reflects more about human minds than about islam. for example, if someone donates $1 while they have $1000 excess when the verse says "they ask:what should we give? say: give what is excess of your needs" (al-baqarah somewhere). i mean, how many muslims can really say we don't fall short of the expectation implied in this verse, even if we do give to charity regularly. anyway, we would usually acknowledge the $1 as charity nonetheless, recognise it has no bearing on any other qualities the person may have nor indicate anything else he may or may not do religiously, and hope he would next time donate more. yet our psyche on hijab is totally different from this (i'm not saying people on this site, but just generalising more widely). think about that for a moment. why is the one viewed by pretty much everyone as a process, a journey, and the other is always a "binary" pass/fail?

c-erbB-2 expression and response to adjuvant therapy in women with node-positive early breast cancer.
BACKGROUND. The role of molecular markers in predicting the response to treatment of breast cancer is poorly defined. The Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) conducted a randomized adjuvant-chemotherapy trial (CALGB 8541) comparing three doses (high, moderate, and low) of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and fluorouracil in 1572 women with node-positive breast cancer. This study (CALGB 8869) was designed to determine whether the DNA index, the S-phase fraction, c-erbB-2 expression, or p53 accumulation could be used as a marker to identify a subgroup of patients more likely than others to benefit from high doses of chemotherapy. METHODS. Tissue blocks were obtained from 442 patients randomly selected from the larger CALGB trial. Paraffin sections from the primary lesions were analyzed for DNA content, S-phase fraction, c-erbB-2 expression, and p53 accumulation. RESULTS. Patients randomly assigned to the high-dose regimen of adjuvant chemotherapy had significantly longer disease-free and overall survival if their tumors had c-erbB-2 overexpression. No further information was gained by adding the data on S-phase fraction or p53 accumulation to the analysis. There was no clear evidence of a dose-response effect in patients with minimal or no c-erbB-2 expression. CONCLUSIONS. There is a significant dose-response effect of adjuvant chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and fluorouracil in patients with overexpression of c-erbB-2 but not in patients with no c-erbB-2 expression or minimal c-erbB-2 expression. Overexpression of c-erbB-2 may be a useful marker to identify the patients who are most likely to benefit from high doses of adjuvant chemotherapy.[1]References
