According to the Koranic teachings, if your neighbor seeks your aid, even if that neighbor is not Muslim, you as a Muslim are duty bound to aid that neighbor. A Muslim is responsible for his actions to his community, and his community is held responsible for his actions. It is also taught that any believer of the One True God, is acceptable to the Islamic community. In light of this, the Islamic community must own up to their Koranic teachings. If they do not, then they represent the epitome of religious hypocrisy.

Pienso que no hemos visto nada aun de la crisis.. Aun no estalla la crisis del desempleo en EEUU, que esta a pesar de todo en mejores condiciones que los europeos, latinoamericanos y asiaticos en general. Pero eso no sera por mucho tiempo.. Pienso que EEUU podria tocar el 10% de desempleo en los proximos meses a medida que la stagflacion entre en vigor.

Pero lo que mas me preocupa es la proxima crisis mundial que nos viene entre el 2009 y 2010, y es la crisis de la tarjeta de credito, a medida que aumenta el desempleo en el mundo, las personas haran mas uso indiscriminado de las tarjeta que de por si hoy por hoy es un abuso a nivel mundial.

En russia no estan aceptando tarjeta de creditos casi en ningun comercio, las personas estan guardado sus pocos ahorros en sus casas. Y muchos estan comprando metales (grandisimo error, no estamos en una recesion inflacionaria, estamos en una deflacio!).

Con todo este panorama, mas los inmenso conflictos socio-politicos creo que solo una cosa salva al mundo de una gran depresion de grandes escala.

Escenario 1.-

La Guerra.-

Y los democratas son especializtas en grandes guerras, por algo el 90% de los conflictos de EEUU a traves de su historia han sido bajo gobiernos democratas..

Cuando EEUU estaba pasando por su 11vo year en la gran depresion y roosevelt estaba en su 9 year como presidente, aun EEUU estaba con un desempleo de doble digitos altisimos, un deficit de triple digitos en comparacion al GDP y ninguno de los programas de gobierno que Roosevelt creo sirvio de nada..

Alemania que venia de la mas grande hyperinflacion de la historia, donde un sello postal costaba 500 millones de marcos, habia logrado sacar a Alemania de la gran depresion gracias precisamente a la maquinaria de la guerra.

El presidente Roosevelt sabia que atacarian a Pearl Harbor, como tal ves Bush sabia que atacarian a las torres gemelas (recordar que Bush heredo una de las peores recesiones de la historia) Y Roosevelt, dejo que pasara para poder justifica rsu entrada a la guerra.

No fue hasta ese entonces que la gran depresion entro a su final en EEUU, justo cuando EEUU empezo a matar gente en europa..

Yo pienso que el mundo esta en un stage interesante donde lo sucedido en Bombay es solo una probadita de lo que nos espera en la proxima decada.

-En EEUU todo pasa por algo, todo esta planeado con antelacion, por eso sigo tratando de decifrar el porque el stablishment norteamericano metio por boca, ojo y nariz a Obama hasta llevarlo a la presidencia..

-Despues de tanta propaganda con el "cambio", porque eligio a Hillary Clinton como la numero 3 en sucesion al trono del mundo??, Hillary fue el halcon detras de Somalia, Bosnia, Irak 1999, Irak 2003 (por el partido democrata).

-Porque McCain entrego la presidencia cuando acepto la nominacion en agosto?

-Porque Ron paul fue indiscriminadamente silenciado por el stablishment?

-Que esta preparando Nuestro pais?? Y como podemos anticipar los posibles escenarios que nos vienen y como podemos aprovechar y ganar plata.

-Porque Obama deja a Robert Gates como jefe del pentagono y seguridad nacional, siendo Gates unos de los halcones republicanos mas acidos de la administracion Bush?.

La realidad es que lo que estamos viendo hoy es casi una replica de la gran depresion, salvo muy poderosas diferencias, como el hecho de que HOY vivimos en una era del FIAT money.

Pienso que en caso de una guerra a gran escala (No necesariamente una guerra mundial), sin dudas Carlyle Group estara extremadamente bien posicionado, Boeing, General Motors, United Defense, Ford, Chrysler, Intel, Sun MacroSystem, JPMorgan, DRYs, Bonos del tesoro americano, Acciones como TLT.

Estas son las companias que ganaran una fortuna consiguiendo contratos con el gobierno en caso de una gran guerra.. Y es una buena via para salvar al corporate america como se ha venido haciendo en los ultimos 70 years.

tambien companias de construcciones como Codina Corp, porque el gobierno dara megas contratos para infraestructura...

La Jugada mas peligrosa en ese escenario seria el USDollar... Una guerra significa aumento del gasto (que es lo que necesita eeuu en estos momentos aprovechando su estatus) Y eso debilita la moneda yanquee, pero tambien en caso de guerra el "unico" paraiso que se conoce son los Bonos americanos.

Tambien esta la duda de que si el euro podria resistir una guerra mundial y mas si es dentro de su territorio.. Dificil.

Pienso que el mundo podria estar a las Orillas de la tercera guerra mundial y creo que sucedera unos meses antes del 2012, seria la manera perfecta que Obama se reelerigiria...

Escenario 2.-

Sin dudas creo que la administracion de Obama metera mucho dinero en la industria de infraestructura para revivir la economia, o al menos para intentarlo, pero tambien pienso que dara unos de los mayores programas sociales de nuestra era, y eso es un recipiente al desastre.

Bill Clinton, a diferencia de los anteriores democratas, fue el unico que ayudo a achicar el gobierno y a reformar el welfare como todos sabemos, tambien fue el primer democrata luego de kennedy en bajar los impuestos (kennedy bajo el maximo tax bracket y Clinton el capital gain y dividendos).

No creo que Obama venga por esa linea, simplemente aunque es un tipo culto y todo lo que quieran, la sangre pesa mas que todo en la vida, y los negros-anglosajones simplemente son comunistas, lo llevan en la sangre, martin luther, malcomX, Jesse Jackson etc etc etc.

NO significa que Obama vaya a manejarse desde la extrema izquierda, Incluso podria manejarse desde la centro derecha como hizo Clinton, pero es muy dificil que lo haga.

Cuando Bush gano la presidencia en el 2000 y anuncio su gabinete, todos anunciaban que manejaria el pais desde el centro, como Reagan, Eisenhower, Kennedy etc etc.. Y lo que hizo fue moverse hacia la ultra Derecha.

Pienso que Obama hara lo mismo pero hacia la Ultra Izquierda, osea, una ves pase un 911 o entremos en una mega guerra o que simplemente la recesion pase a depresion, creo que EEUU se movera hacia el socialismo europeo..

George Soros (el ingrato) dijo que eeuu necesita precisamente un modelo socialista europeo (curioso que el se hizo Billonario en el capitalismo maximo evadiendo impuestos legalmente incluso).

En caso como este, las companias y acciones de construcciones seran la que tendremos que enfocarnos, tambien tendriamos que ver comoa, algunos se aprovecharon de la deflacion de japon 1992-2008 Y hacer lo mismo aqui en casa.

Escenario 3.-

Na, que todo sea una ilusion, que Obama realmente es el messiah, que salvara al mundo, evitara guerras, traera paz, y viviremos otro mega Boom mundial al estilo 1982-2007. Y sera el Reagan democrata, el Roosvelt negro, el kennedy moderno, el Nixon de la nueva era.. El dow Jones llegaria a los 20 mil puntos, el petroleo caeria a 5 dolares y medio mundo vivira de la energia producida por el H2O, Ethanol, Gas Natural Y se curaran el Sida gracias a las ocializacion de la medicina en eeuu (que nada tiene que ver, pero en fin), se acabara subitamente el teatro del "Cambio climatico" Y hasta entraremos en la era de el "enfriamiento climatico".

buen fin de semana.-

This Slammy Awards thing is a joke how can u not put Undertaker in the Superstar of the year race. Undertaker just went 16-0 at WM, he has always been the man to beat where ever he goes and by the way its THE UNDERTAKER. Can someone tell me wht Batista has done to be in tht race or even Edge? The Undertaker has been in an Elimination Chamber match and won, went 16-0 at WM and has proven to be the dominate superstar this year. Yet again WWE screws the lord of Darkness out of somethin tht should be his. Undertaker deserves tht award not Cena, Edge, Batista, HBK, Y2J, Jeff Hardy. Im just thinkin if the WWE keeps screwing him over and over again i think its best for him to leave and join TNA where i know Taker will be treated with the respect he deserves. I know Undertaker should step aside and let these new guys come in but Undertaker has proven time and time again why he is the best around.

Ok, recently bowled in a local tourney and cant seem to do much. I got rid of my rotogrip sd73 classic, and bought a storm special agent. It seems to have much better back end for me. I bought it after having a bad tourney, my other ball, a ebonite crossover does ok, but i need something even stronger.I am a left handed bowler, and when my ball doesnt hook i cant seem to do much. I use a 4 step approach with a very rhythm like approach. Would 5 or 6 steps help? I have tried moving the ball around in my swing to create more revolutions as well? any thoughts or observations would be appreciated!

LAST WEEK ON MONDAY NIGHT ON RAW WE WERE ALL PONDERNG & WONDERING WHAT WAS THE MYSTERIOUS "OFFER" THAT WAS MADE TO SHAWN MICHAELS BY JBL.

IF ANYONE MANAGED TO SEE RAW ALREADY THIS "OFFER" THAT WAS MADE TO SHAWN WAS -NOW GET THIS-A JOB? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? AM I DREAMING OR WHAT? WHAT CAME FINALLY TO THAT CONCLUSION?

IF WHAT WAS SAID TO SHAWN HAPPENS TO BE TRUE TO THE FACT-WHY DID HE NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT IT TO ANYONE IN THE FIRST PLACE? IS HE THAT PROUD & HE DID NOT WANT ANYONE TO TAKE PITY ON HIM & FEEL SORRY FOR HIM?

OF ALL THE YEARS OF WATCHING WWE-BUT WHAT WENT DOWN IN THAT RING-THAT WAS THE MOST SADDEST & UNHAPPIEST THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN SHAWN SINCE HIS MOST FAMOUS " I LOST MY SMILE " SPEECH.

I SAW NO SMILE. I SAW NO HAPPINESS WITH SHAWN. THE WAY HE LEFT THE RING WHICH LEAD TO HIM BEING BOOED & HISSED RIGHT OUT OF THE ARENA-WALKING UP THAT RAMP WITH HIS HEAD HANGING DOWN SO LOW THAT HIS CHIN WAS LITERALY DRAGGING THE GROUND.

I ONLY HOPE THAT SHAWN MICHAELS WILL COME TO THE CONCLUSION & CLEAR HIS TROUBLED MIND THAT ACCEPTING THIS "OFFER" IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO! HE IS TOO MUCH OF A PROUD MAN TO STOOP TO THAT LEVEL.

ALL WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW IS HOLD OUT HOPE & THAT SHAWN DOES NOT TAKE JBL UP ON HIS OFFER. THAT IS ALL WE CAN DO NOW!  WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE FORSEABLE FUTURE! TIME WILL TELL !

Mark Curnutte actually "interviewed" Mike Brown. I use quotation marks, because I havent seen such softballs since this past summer at Rumpke Park. However, what MIke Brown had to say was astounding, at least to me. MC's first question was about Coach Lewis and Mike says "They coach the same...They are teachers and... they do their jobs". Mike Brown believes Marvin and his staff are doing their jobs. 1-10-1 must be acceptable to Mr Brown. MC's 2nd question was "Where have things gone wrong this season?" Mike Brown states "It's hard to have success in this league without your core players" Mike states that "We're playing with literally less than half the people we thought would be our starters... we lost Carson Palmer who is our linchpin player. We lost our best defensive player before the season started Odell Thurman. The Linebacker corps we thought we would be playing with was Rivers, Thurman, and Pollack. They are all gone, two for good. When you have that kind of erosion on your football team, it is hard to be successful. We have not managed to overcome it." OK this is unbelievable to me. Odell Thurman hasn't played a game since the playoff game against the Steelers following the 2005 season. David Pollack broke his neck against the Browns in September of 2006. Mike built his defense around a player who has been suspended for two years by the NFL and has been and out of rehab numerous times since 2006 and a player who broke his neck in 2006. It has been obvious to me that we were short on linebackers, but rather than replacing those players who were obviously done in the NFL we built our defense around them. How stupid is this man??? MC's third question asked will Marvin Lewis have a chance to overcome this season?? Mike Brown answered "I think in many ways he has done an incredibly good job Our players still try hard. He has them out there trying to the best of their ability" I see lollygagging and guys playing at 90% effort with their heads on a swivel. Mike Brown sees great coaching and great effort. The interview goes on and Mike's quotes are "I am pleased with the effort and the coaches effort""I think things would take a quantum leap forward if we had Carson back on the field and playing the way we know he can" "I call them themes. They like to talk about different themes when things don't go well" This man is so far removed from reality that it's scary. We just need to get Carson healthy and get Odell and Pollack back to the team and we are set. We'd be Super Bowl bound according to MIke Brown.  I didn't see anything about fortifying our offensive or defensive lines. I didn't see we need a pass rusher on defense. I didn't see we are still without a good running back. I didn't see that maybe we need to improve our use of gametime decisions especially clock management. I didn't see that our offense is stagnant and we haven't ran a new play in 5 seasons. I didn't see that we maybe should've oughta could we replace Odell and Pollack. I didn't see that it is disgusting to me to be 1-10-1 and I am amazed we won and tied a game. I didn't see that it causes me to puke every time i think of how bad we have played, coached, and ripped off our fans this season. Mike Brown must be a masochist, because losing and being embarassed on the field don't seem to hurt this man one iota. It's obvious Mike Brown doesn't care and I wonder why do I.

So here we are at my first installment of Shae's 2 Cents the Raw edition. Where I give my thoughts on the happenings on every Raw show.

JERRICHO PROMO

That was graphic. lol. But hey, that would deffinately suck if you were a wrestler and your kid idolizes someone else.

C.M. PUNK & KOFFI KINGSTON VS CODY RHODES AND MANU

I don't care what anyone says about Punk and Kingston, you put those two twisted f**ks together, the team is lethal and deadly. They are just a sweet tag team. :-) The match was cool too.

DX X-MAS PROMO

Is it me or did HBK had 6 too many YJ Stinger energy drinks? I was rolling when he was throwing his fit. lmao!

JILLIAN VS MELINA

I knew Melina would dominate. And that was so hysteical the way Santino was trying out Melina's enterence.

JBL & HBK PROMO

Geez, what a way to put a good man down.  But if HBK and JBL have an aliance, I'd be real interested on how it plays out. But if you ask me, I think its not gonna be as good as HBK and HHH.

WWE.COM AD

One word: stupid.

BATISTA VS DOLPH ZIGGLAR

Zigglar was not bad out there.  But I'm not really warming up to his gimmick quite yet. But WWE did something right I think. Give people like him work for the stardom. Not just hand them glory on a silver platter like Koslov, John Cena, and Santino.

JOHN MORRISON VS FINALY

Granted, Morrison won the match but he is like Rey Mysterio and took a step backword. Granted he held ECW gold, but if he is competeing on such a flagship show like Raw, he should get a WHC shot.

REY MYSTERIO VS  THE MIZ

Its cool that Mysterio got a title contendership match but he's too good to take a step down.  I love the dude but I would of given the match to The Miz. If Miz were to get a push in singles compitition, the IC title picture would of been a great place to start. God honest opinion, I wanted Miz to win.

KANE VS JOHN CENA

If people in WWE Universe dig Cena in his rare form, he should make it come out often. This ruthless, bad a$$, superman type front is just great. Figured that the match ended this way.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And that was the first instalment of Shae's 2 Cents, The Raw Edition. I would love your guys' feed back and comments.

A fellow Universe member wanted me to post this story because it my story was really heartfelt so here it is.

My 14 year old sis, Jessica fell in love with the Big Show since she first started watching wrestling. That was Big Show's debut in WWE was when she first started watching. Her dream is to meet the Big Show one day. She said the reason she likes him is that Big Show is Big. And being in a wheel chair, she admires him because they are similar in terms of having a physical trait that makes them so distinctive. (Jessica has Cerebral Palsy) She shows me that her disabilities don't bother her because she shows me how tough she is.  I ask her how she gets her strength, and she tells me "The Big Show". I'm sure if he hears her story, he'd be that much more proud that he is an insperation to kids.

Aquí entre nosotr@s... (Para los amigos)

Aquí entre nosotr@s y sin que nadie nos oiga: ¡Las horas que pasamos aquí son MARAVILLOSAS! Que pena que algunos familiares, amigos y conocidos no consigan entender la grandeza de la amistad que compartimos a través de esta red virtual.

Ellos no pueden comprender como las personas pueden tenerse tanto cariño, sí nunca se han encontrado, sí nunca se han visto, sí nunca se han conocido personalmente.

 Aquí entre nosotr@s y sin que nadie nos oiga: Quiero que sepas lo importante que eres y cuanto representas para mí en este espacio virtual.

Compartimos nuestros pensamientos, nuestros sueños, nuestros planes para el futuro ... ¿Con qué otro medio haríamos eso tan bien? Ellos no saben que nosotros no nos juzgamos ni nos condenamos: solo buscamos y ofrecemos la mano para ayudar.

No saben que intercambiamos abrazos ( ¡Y hasta besitos! ) No saben que en nuestra, amistad virtual, nos preocupamos el uno por el otro, ponderamos situaciones y compartimos tantas cosas que aprendemos aquí.

¡No saben lo tanto que podemos y tenemos por aprender! Aquí entre nosotr@s y sin que nadie nos oiga: Quiero que sepas que mis días son más brillantes y que mis pensamientos son mucho más felices por causa tuya.

Es por eso que ahora te envió este "sigiloso mensaje" quiero que sientas que existe alguien aquí a quien le importas, que quiere dar brillo a tú día, que quiere desearte toda la felicidad en todos los días de tú vida!

Aquí entre nosotr@s y sin que nadie nos oiga: ¡Yo agradezco a los cielos este mundo virtual porque sin el nunca hubiera conseguido llegar así tan cerca de ti!

Me too, a true hero has good sportsmanship. Cena doesn't and  will never back down. Cena has stood his ground, just him. Cena doesn't need someone to baby him or have others stand up for him.  Jericho, the hard truth is that you could never handle Cena. Me too, John Cena is also my hero, jerks like Jericho will never be. Take a real good look Jericho, what do you see Chris Jerijerk?? John Cena, THE CHAMPION!!

Signed,

Cool

Audley Harrison believes an eye-catching performance against unbeaten Irish heavyweight Martin Rogan on Saturday night will put him in the frame for a European or even world title shot next year.

How many times have we heard that ?
I watched every one of Harrison early fights on the BBC, and it soon became evident that he believed his own hype. What we saw in the ring was not the stuff of world championship material we were led to believe.

Harrison's Olympic gold medal success as a superheavyweight was in Sydney, in 2000, and at the age 37, with three career losses in his last seven fights, the swing doors may be closing on the Last Chance Saloon.

Frank Warren, the promoter with whom Harrison should have started his career - instead of promoting himself - has given Harrison the chance with a deal. In April on the undercard of the Calzaghe v Hopkins light-heavyweight fight in Las Vegas, the British media sat down with Harrison for a round table interview. Harrison had the opportunity then to admit he has perhaps gone about things the wrong way. No. He simply stated things had gone on in the background beyond his control.

A dose of humble pie might have been in order. Harrison says he is more humble, and other scribes testify to the fact that he showed more humility in Manchester in September.       

Harrison insists he has found a humbler self, yet it is hard to find in the wreck of his last seven fights, with three defeats. It has been a case of which 'A-force' will turn up.    

Harrison said on Monday, as he gave a news conference ahead of his contest - "I can be heavyweight champion of the world next year. I'm not delusional nothing. Every fight I have they say is the 'last chance saloon'. I fighting for my wife and daughter.  I can't take anything for granted against Rogan. He's from strong, Irish stock. He will come and cause me some heat, but I have faced rough, tough guys before."  

Just to spur him on - a little encouragement for Harrison. Rogan should be no match for you. The man who doubles as a taxi driver is not in your class. In other words, you should walk through Rogan. David Haye would. Go and knock Rogan out, take him apart, show just how devastating you can be. You'll need that against either of the Klitschko brothers, or Haye, for
