Talented girl with bright future.

The Afghan girl featured on a controversial Time magazine cover in the US has been given a new prosthetic nose. Aisha told Time her nose and ears had been cut off - with the approval of a Taliban commander - by her abusive husband as punishment for running away. The front cover generated debate over the headline "What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan" and over the use of the photo itself. Her surgery was done in California. 'Blood debt' The Grossman Burn Foundation, which carried out the work, campaigns on the issue of violence against women, as well as doing free plastic surgery work. Foundation surgeon Peter Grossman carried out the reconstruction surgery. Aisha was widely photographed and filmed earlier this week receiving the Enduring Heart award at a benefit ceremony staged by the foundation. She was given the award by California first lady Maria Shriver, the wife of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. "This is the first Enduring Heart award given to a woman whose heart endures and who shows us all what it means to have love and to be the enduring heart," Ms Shriver said. Aisha - whose surname has not been revealed - replied: "Thank you so much." The 18-year-old was reportedly given away by her family in childhood as a "blood debt" and was subsequently married to a Taliban fighter. His family abused her and she ran away but was recaptured and mutilated by her husband. Aisha's case has been used in the West to illustrate the fear of what will happen if US, British and other international forces leave prematurely. Some critics questioned the tone of the Time cover arguing that it was using emotional blackmail and gender politics to justify continued US involvement in Afghanistan. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-11530849

Words cannot be expressed on Malcolm X.he was great man with great ambition.RIP

big loss for Nigeria.

labour party has always won the votes of South Asian and African/Caribbean immigrant communities. labour party has stopped searching of Muslims, racial profiling of ethnic minority members, harsh and biased treatment of Muslims, race relations, foreign policy, attack on immigration and the economic chaos leading to job losses, affecting the ethnic minorities the most. The other thing is that there is a record number of Muslims who are likely to be elected to the 650 seats strong House of Commons, the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and mostly from labor Party. My vote goes for labour.

Dreaming of an advanced degree? Try a doctorate in dreams, something which could soon become a reality in a new Saudi academy offering undergraduate and graduate degrees. Yusuf al-Harthy, a well-known Saudi dream interpreter, plans to start up an institute offering bachelors and masters degrees as well as even a PhD in explaining dreams and visions, Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Sunday. "Dream interpretation is by nature a way of counseling a person," said Harthy, who already runs an instructional website on deciphering the meaning of dreams. His academy will be linked to an unnamed Arab university, he said. Islam has a long history of dream interpretation, with the seventh century-born scholar Muhammad Ibn Sirin, a native of Basra in present-day Iraq, credited with authoring a classic Islamic catalogue on dream interpretation. Harthy, who discusses dreams on radio and television shows, disagrees with the Saudi Islamic Affair's Ministry view that dream interpretation is not a teachable science but something born of inspiration, Al-Hayat reported. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20100502/tod-saudi-academy-to-offer-phd-in-dreami-7f81b96.html

Dating by blood type in Japan By Roland Buerk BBC News, Tokyo People in most parts of the world do not think about their blood group much, unless they have an operation or an accident and need a transfusion. But in Japan, whether someone is A, B, O or AB is a topic of everyday conversation. There is a widespread belief that blood type determines personality, with implications for life, work and love. It is Saturday night and a speed dating session is underway in a small building in the backstreets of Tokyo. Men and women are sitting nervously at tables hoping to find that special someone. The room is brightly painted in red and white, the staff upbeat and enthusiastic, but the conversations are rather stilted. The couples have just a few minutes to try to sound each other out before a bell rings and they have to move on to the next lonely single. It is a scene repeated in cities across the world but this speed dating session in Japan has a twist. It is for women who want to meet men with blood group A or AB. One says she decided to narrow down her search for a boyfriend after a bad experience with a man with type B. "Looking back it seems trivial," she said. "But I couldn't help getting annoyed by how disorganised he was." "I really would like someone with type A blood," added her friend. "My image is of someone who is down to earth, something like that." 'Burahara' Interest in blood type is widespread in Japan, particularly which combinations are best for romance. Women's magazines run scores of articles on the subject, which has also inspired best-selling self-help books. The received wisdom is that As are dependable and self sacrificing, but reserved and prone to worry. Decisive and confident, that is people with type O. ABs are well balanced, clear-sighted and logical, but also high-maintenance and distant. The black sheep though seem to be blood group B - flamboyant free-thinkers, but selfish. "At the interview for my first job they asked me about my blood type," said a man with blood group B, who wanted to identify himself only as Kouichi. "The surprise was written on my face. Why? It turned out the company president really cared. She'd obviously had a bad experience with a B type blood person. But somehow I got the job anyway." Later, though, the issue of his blood came up again. "The president was the kind of person who couldn't take her drink and at one company party she got drunk. So she sent B people home before the others. 'You are blood type B,' she said. 'Get out.'" There is even a term for such behaviour in Japan, burahara, which translates as blood group harassment. The preoccupation with blood ultimately dates back to theories of eugenics during the inter-war years. One study compared the blood of people in Taiwan, who had rebelled against Japanese colonial rule, with the Ainu from Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, thought to be more peaceable. Stripped of its racial overtones, the idea emerged again in the 1970s. Debunked Now, blood typecasting is as common as horoscopes in the West, with the whiff of science - although dubious - giving it added credibility. Some firms organise work teams by blood type to try to ensure office harmony. And people going on a date or meeting someone for the first time are liable to be asked: "What is your blood group?" "This particular thing about blood types is a clever way of telling people what you think about them, but indirectly," said Jeff Kingston, professor of Asian Studies at Temple University in Japan. "Here people don't like to be upfront and open about their opinions. So if you can hide behind blood types you can then tell someone indirectly what you think about them." Scientists regularly debunk the blood group theory but it retains its hold, some believe because in a largely homogenous society it provides an easy framework to divide people up into easily recognisable groups. The last Prime Minister, Taro Aso, even put the fact that he was a type A in his official profile on the internet. If he had hoped having a favoured blood group would give him a boost at the polls he was disappointed. When the election came round he lost. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8646236.stm
