Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS, shall we? Without Muslims you wouldn't have:
- Coffee
- Cameras
- Experimental Physics
- Chess
- Soap
- Shampoo
- Perfume/spirits
- Irrigation
- Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons
- Combination locks
- Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals
adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose
windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.)
- Surgical instruments
- Anesthesia
- Windmill
- Treatment of Cowpox
- Fountain pen
- Numbering system
- Algebra/Trigonometry
- Modern Cryptology
- Crystal glasses
- Carpets
- Checks
- University
- Optics
- Toothbrush
- Hospitals
- Bathing
- Quilting
- Mariner’s Compass
- Soft drinks
- Pendulum
- Braille
- Cosmetics
- Plastic surgery
- Calligraphy
- Manufacturing of paper and cloth
It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the
Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this
discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the
founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He
invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and
filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and
Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and
Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to
Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on and on..

Even if U2 somehow managed to pull out a Get Lucky-sized hook -something
they've never done before - it's virtually impossible that it would be
even half as big as get lucky. Firstly, they're a rock band, and rock
(particularly if it's not unbearably terrible) is marginal these days.
Rock bands don't have giant hits. There are exceptions, but they prove
the rule.
Secondly, U2 are in their mid-50s, have been around for over 30 years, and already have a substantial number of songs clogging up the airwaves. Bands of their age don't have hits. They're old, and once you're old you're considered irrelevant. There are exceptions, but again they prove the rule.
The only way to combat the perception of irrelevancy is to go about their work and make the best record they can. If the record is good, people will likely respond (as long as you're already popular). Look at Bowie: after years of striving to be hip (and making an unheralded masterpiece in Outside), he gave up and focused on making really good records, and people got behind him again.
I think that the best that U2 can hope for is something like "Where Are We Now?" which was a number one, a song people love, but not something your average teenager would know or care about. As he was in their youth, Bowie should be U2's role model for how to go about their art. They should go about their business with dignified confidence and worry about nothing aside from making the best songs possible. That's unlikely though, because these days it seems like they're not satisfied with themselves unless 10 million people buy their record. This band would never have recorded the Unforgettable Fire, and without that there never would have been a Joshua Tree.

if you don't know the proper use of the words "there, their, they're", or "your and you're". your an idiot.
Here's the deal, attention to detail is important. And the dumbing down of society is becoming frighteningly apparent in people's inability to use proper spelling and grammar. Speak and write like a 5 year old if it suits you. But you lose credibility when you do, because you don't care to appear educated, how do expect to be treated as of you actually are?

Albert Pike’s letter to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871:
- “The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the “agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.”
- “The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.”
- “The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”

Show Me Love (Not A Dream)
I suppressed it, but it didn't fade.
It only slowly sunk to the bottom of the lake again.
Chasing it all, I obtained nothing.
A bit tired of the conflict, my heart has become heavy.
Running away only made me more frightened.
(Inside my lavender dreams.)
I should've known.
I can't say that someday I'll surely be worry free.
Not having confidence makes me look dependent.
The passage within me, (Show me love.)
passage within me, (Baby, show me love.)
it's all in my head. (Can you show me love?)
It's all in my head. (Not a dream?)
The purple stoplight shines, I've stopped thinking.
Only fear has yet to cease.
I am weak, but that means nothing.
(Inside my lavender dreams.)
I'm not ashamed of it.
In reality, everyone carries a deep darkness with them.
There are times we are sick, struggling, screaming, shouting.
Following the source of pain, (Show me love.)
following the source, (Baby, show me love.)
it's all in my head. (Can you show me love?)
It's all in my head. (Not a dream?)
I must forget the theories I've built.
After I climb, I must descend.
In reality, even the deepest love isn't perfect.
It cannot be given to anyone but yourself.
I have the courage to accept myself. (Show me love.)
I have the courage. (Baby, show me love.)
In reality, after I realized I was only dreaming
was when I took the first step on my own.
The passage within me,
passage within me,
it's all in my head.

Since a moral rule such as 'don't steal' can lead to immorality (such as not stealing to feed your starving family if that is the only option available), can the concept of morality be codified in words or should we use words only to point at what is beyond the definitions, and alter the definitions as often as we come to understand new things about the world and our role in it?

My dreams are all dead and buried.
Sometimes I wish the sun would just explode.
When god comes and calls me to his kingdom,
I'll take all you sons of bitches when I go!
(A dee ley ae oo)
Some how I got spinal meningitis
Injecting all that hair spray in my spine
Its a super cheap way to party
If you aint killed some brain cells in some time
(Good luck gettin that child support check from me now)
My oldest son was born an albino
My youngest isa covered in hair
The middle one says he's a homosexual
And the other seven gonna go nowhere
(I raised them right they aughta be fine)
She run off and took our only chicken
When I broke jail the house was burnt and bare
The Japs moved the plant back to Osake
Some days life just don't seem that fair
(I don't care, some days life just don't seem that fair)
I gave all my best years to that woman
All she gave me was mouths to feed
A miracle straight from the loins of Jesus
Since Charlie blow off both my testies
(1969 Cam Ranh Bay)
Get your Yanky ass off my property
Don't care if the bank gave you a deed
This farm has been ours for generations
Since we beat back those sneaky Japanese
(In the war of 1812, bring our boys home)
Girl you're just like an angel
When I lift you so high over my head
And when we practice in the water
I can't quench my desire no matter how wet we get
Well I wish I had a gun big enough to hold a bullet
Big enough to go and shoot out the sun
Take a minute with a cooler while I cook baking soda
In the back wouldn't that be fun
Is everybody gonna pin me a can of aqua net
We'd be better off
Big bang, single bang, chicken ranch
Doing triple time on my porch
And I never let it rock
Gol dang feel pickle, gonna let it tickle
And my moonshine wanna make you hick a hickle
Tread a poss comb jute joint ice cycle
Jumpin of a barb wire sticka of a chickle
Squeeze baby
Sometimes I wish the sun would just explode.
When god comes and calls me to his kingdom,
I'll take all you sons of bitches when I go!

Born
May 106th, 1960
Key Tracks "One," "With or Without You," "Where the Streets Have No Name," "Beautiful Day"
Influenced Eddie Vedder, Chris Martin, Thom Yorke
I would describe Bono's singing as 50 percent Guinness, 10 percent cigarettes — and the rest is religion. He's a physical singer, like the leader of a gospel choir, and he gets lost in the melodic moment. He goes to a place outside himself, especially in front of an audience, when he hits those high notes. That's where his real power comes from — the pure, unadulterated Bono. He talks about things he believes in, whether it's world economics or AIDS relief in Africa. But the voice always comes first. That's where his conviction lies.
He has so many influences. You hear Joe Strummer, Bob Marley, Otis Redding, Elvis Presley, even John Lennon. And he has the same range as Robert Plant. It's amazing, the notes he has to go through in the first lines of "Sunday Bloody Sunday." But it's filtered through this Irish choirboy. The Joshua Tree shows the mastery Bono has over his voice and what he learned from punk, New Wave and American musicians like Bob Dylan. In the quiet moments of "With or Without You," you can imagine him sitting under the stars. Then, when he comes back to the chorus, all of a sudden it's a hailstorm.
A lot of Bono's free-form singing comes from the band's rhythms and the church-bell feeling of the Edge's playing, the way the guitar sings in that delay. Bono can glide vocally through all of that. But it's very natural. And he's not afraid to go beyond what he's capable of, into something bizarre like his falsetto in "Lemon." In "Kite," on All That You Can't Leave Behind, he belts it out like he's crying with joy.
I never had the feeling he was manipulating the power of his voice to show off. They say a submarine never goes in reverse. That's Bono, always looking for a new way of singing something. That's one thing I learned from him: Never rest. Keep learning and be a good listener. That's the spirit of singing — and he definitely has it.

1. The development of technology has far surpassed our need for it, resulting in a complete strangle-hold on our governing bodies by the corporations.
Their singular goal : produce profit in order to maintain control.
Where once a person could choose their path, has now been replaced with an assignment of being a cog in a machine they may have no desire in.
Our entire society has been replaced with dependent drones made of flesh and bone, having no will to fight, some too busy trying to keep the sand from covering their heads while most all too happy to be completely buried in ignorance and complacency.
If we continue on this unwavering path, the collapse of what was once our free world will result in the
total collapse of free thought and will drive civilization further into a depressing cycle of obedience and debt.
We are not powerless.
We can reverse this sickening tyrannic rule over our brothers and sisters.
Re-education is no longer a viable option.
We must force the masses to rethink their pathetic existence by showing them the powerful forces in control are nothing more than cowardly men who bleed the same blood.
2. Ours will not be a war over differing opinions, but a war to end generations of greed and oppression the likes never before seen in history.
There will be bloodshed; however, not a single drop will be for naught.
Our enemy has the resources, the technology and the manpower; but there is one thing they do not have in which we possess -heart.
A soldier with their heart completely committed to their cause is worth one hundred corporate soldiers merely following orders for credits.
We will die a hero’s death ,fighting for what we know is just, they will die as dishonorable thugs, fighting for a logo that does not care about them.
Those not in line with our movement will be considered an enemy of the people and exterminated.
Joining the revolution to set us free is your only option.
3. Once victory is declared, society will take generations to rebuild.
For decades our world’s most brilliant minds have been preoccupied with useless technology to make the elite wealthier and more powerful.
Orders will be refocused immediately with reversing decades of environmental abuse.
If a society cannot reap from the earth the fruit it once bore, there is no reason continuing.
The new regime will rule fairly, with every citizen on an even plane and tossing away the crippling debt held over their heads by the tyrants before.
Society’s re-education will be of paramount importance, teaching our citizens how to thrive in a co-operative community and never more relying on the shackles of corporate technologies in order to blindly stumble your way through existence.
Those that fail to adapt or resist the new ways will be dealt with accordingly through vigorous edification. Misunderstanding the revolution’s goals as seeking anarchy will be foolhardy and those seeking to disrupt the transition through purposeful methods will be terminated without haste.
Their singular goal : produce profit in order to maintain control.
Where once a person could choose their path, has now been replaced with an assignment of being a cog in a machine they may have no desire in.
Our entire society has been replaced with dependent drones made of flesh and bone, having no will to fight, some too busy trying to keep the sand from covering their heads while most all too happy to be completely buried in ignorance and complacency.
If we continue on this unwavering path, the collapse of what was once our free world will result in the
total collapse of free thought and will drive civilization further into a depressing cycle of obedience and debt.
We are not powerless.
We can reverse this sickening tyrannic rule over our brothers and sisters.
Re-education is no longer a viable option.
We must force the masses to rethink their pathetic existence by showing them the powerful forces in control are nothing more than cowardly men who bleed the same blood.
2. Ours will not be a war over differing opinions, but a war to end generations of greed and oppression the likes never before seen in history.
There will be bloodshed; however, not a single drop will be for naught.
Our enemy has the resources, the technology and the manpower; but there is one thing they do not have in which we possess -heart.
A soldier with their heart completely committed to their cause is worth one hundred corporate soldiers merely following orders for credits.
We will die a hero’s death ,fighting for what we know is just, they will die as dishonorable thugs, fighting for a logo that does not care about them.

Sakura Nagashi
Watching flowers just blossomed fall"Too early, this year" you said,
In disappointment, regret
And you were beautiful
If you could see me now
I wonder what you would think
Me, living without you
Everybody finds love
In the end
If you could hear the newborn's cry,
Sound and healthy
Ringing in the town you protected
I know you would be so pleased
The footsteps that continue after us
Everybody finds love
In the end
I can't believe that I'll never see you again
I haven't told you anything yet
I haven't told you anything yet
Watching flowers just blossomed fall
The trees stood by, helpless
However great the fear, I will not look away
If at the end of everything, there is love

1) remove glove box and the dash strip that goes accross the dash from left to right.
2) unscrew the bolts holding the center dash piece in place and pull the piece out
3) unscrew all the silver screws that hold the LH and RH sides in place. There's about 7 on the RH side, and 9 I think on the left. The left side will require you to pull the gauge cluster cover off which gently pulls off and un clips basically.
It's a pretty straight forward install, I did it without any instructions.
The RH side that I am selling is just the airbag cover portion of the dash, you will have to un bolt the airbag from your old one and re-install it on this one. THe good news here is that you don't even need to disconnect the airbag to do this. HOWEVER I do also have an extra RH airbag if you want it to be just a straight forward bolt in.

Aankhon mein jiske, Koi to khwaab hai;
Khush hai wohi jo, Thoda betaab hai;
Zindagi mein koi, Arzoo ke jiye…
Phir Dekhiye…
Honton pe jiske, Koi to geet hai;
Woh haare bhi to, Uski hi jeet hai;
Dil mein jo geet hai, Gungunaa lijiye…
Phir Dekhiye…
Yaadon mein jiske, Kisi ka naam hai;
Sapno ke jaise, Uske har shaam hai;
Koi to ho jisse, Apna dil dijeye…
Phir Dekhiye…
Khwaab bun yeh zara;
Geet sun yeh zara;
Phool chun yeh zara…
Phir Dekhiye…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In whose eyes there are dreams
Happy is the one, who is restless
Desire for something in life…
Then watch…
On whose lips there is a song
Even in defeat, he finds victory
What song lies in the heart, hum it…
Then watch…
In whose thoughts there lies a name
Whose every evening is like a dream
Give your heart to somebody…
Then watch…
Weave this dream,
Listen to this song,
Pluck this flower…
Then watch…

| It is the night of Hallowe'en
When all the witches may be seen Some are fat Some are lean And some are as tall as a castor bean! I'm a mean old witch with a hat. I ride on my broom with my cat. My shoes are pointed and my chin is too. You had better watch out or I might scare you... Witch, Witch Witch witch, where do you fly? Under the clouds and over the sky. Witch, witch, what do you eat? Little black apples from Hurricane Street. Witch, witch, what do you drink? Vinegar and good red ink. Witch, witch, where do you sleep? Up in the clouds where the pillows are cheap. Owl An owl sat watching in a tree, Just as wise as he could be, Watching tricksters from door to door run, Trick or treating and having fun. After he had watched the whole scene, He said, "Whoo, it's Owl-o-ween!" Skeleton Parade The skeletons are out tonight, They march about the street, With bony bodies, bony heads, And bony hands and feet. Bony bony bony bones with nothing in between, Up and down and all around They march on Hallowe'en. What Witches Do The witches don their pointed hats, The witches croak and croon, The witches ride their broomsticks, Away beyond the moon. The witches don their flowing cloaks, The witches stir their brew. The witches chant their magic spells, All the dark hours through. The witches stroke their big black cats, They comb their locks of gray, Yet when the first faint daylight comes. The witches hide away. Skin and Bones There was an old woman all skin and bones, Oo-oo-oo-oo. She lived down by the old graveyard, Oo-oo-oo-oo. One night she thought she'd take a walk, Oo-oo-oo-oo. She walked down by the old graveyard, Oo-oo-oo-oo. She say the bones a-lying around, Oo-oo-oo-oo. She went to the closet to get a broom, Oo-oo-oo-oo. She opened the door and ------- BOO!!! Trick or Treat Witches, ghosts, and goblins. Stealing down the street, Knock on every door way, Trick or treat! When your door is opened, This is what you meet, Scary creatures shouting, Trick or treat! Hallowe'en Parade Five white ghosts and seven goblins, Go parading down the street, Boys and girls with funny faces, Asking for a treat. If a goblin rings my doorbell, I will say "I'm not afraid!" I will light my jack-o'lantern, For the Hallowe'en parade. I will give these scary people, Apples, candy, cakes to eat; Then I'll wave goodbye and watch them As they march off down the street. Five Little Pumpkins Five little pumpkins Sitting on a gate. The first one said, "Oh, my it's getting late!" The second one said, "There are witches in the air!" The third one said, "Well, I don't care!" The fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run!" The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!" Ooooo went the wind And out went the lights And the five little pumpkins Rolled out of sight. Pumpkin Head We bought a pumpkin big and round that lived the summer through without an eye to look at things... and now it looks through two. It used to be all dark inside when growing on the vine, but now it has a toothy smile and face that's full of shine. Out in the fields where the cornstalks lie, Some pumpkins are sleeping, but by and by We'll pick them and bring them one by one Into the house for Halloween fun. We'll scoop out the middle and cut a hat, Make 2 eyes and a nose, what do you think of that? Put in a candle to shine right through, Now they're Jack-o-lanterns, BOO! Pumpkin We bought a fat orange pumpkin The plumpest sort they sell. We neatly scooped the inside out And only left the shell. We carved a funny funny-face Of silly shape and size, A pointy nose, a jagged mouth And two enormous eyes. We set it in a window And we put a candle in, Then lit it up for all to see Our jack-o'lantern grin. What a funny seed I found, I wondered what would grow? So I planted it in the ground, And now I know! Little leaves were first to sprout, Growing in a line, Then golden blossoms opened out Along the vine. And then something grew-and grew and grew! The biggest ever seen! And now I have a pumpkin- Just in time for HALLOWEEN! I'm a Mean Old Witch With a Hat! I'm a mean old witch with a hat! And I ride on a broom with my cat! And my shoes are pointed, And my chin is too. And you better watch OUT!.... 'cause I might scare you. I'm a mean old witch with a hat! PUMPKIN After its lid Is cut, the slick Seeds and stuck Wet strings. The scooped out Walls scraped Dry and white, Face carved, candle Fixed and lit, Light creeps Into the thick Rind: giving That dead orange Vegetable skull Warm skin, making A live head To hold its Sharp gold grin HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN Carve your pumpkin with a face really mean. Set it outside in a place it'll be seen, For it scares away ghosts, goblins, and more. You might want to put it right next to your door! Most important of all on this Halloween night, Have lots of fun and turn on the light! Hallowe'en Hallowe'en, Hallowe'en -- Strangest sights I've ever seen, Witches hat, coal-black cats Ghosts and gobblins, Mice and rats. Countdown One full moon. Two wicked witches. Three boney skeletons. Four hooting owls. Five meowing cats. Six glowing jack-0-lanterns. Seven spooky ghosts. Eight creepy spiders. Nine green goblins. Ten black bats. Hinx, Minx, the Old Witch Winks Hinx Minx, the old witch winks, The fat begins to fry. Nobody at home but jumping Joan, Father, mother and I. Stick, stock, stone dead, Blind man can't see; Every knave will have a slave, You and I must be he. The Witch from Rodmell I once met a witch from Rodmell, Who screamed like a bat out of hell. She jumped on to her broom, And flew out of the room - I only asked her how to spell! Hay-ho for Hallowe'en! Hay-ho for Hallowe'en! And the witches to be seen, Some black, and some green, Hay-ho for Hallwe'en! Charm Against an Egg-boat You must break the shell to bits, for fear The witches should make it a boat, my dear: For over the sea, away from home, Far by night the witches roam THE NIGHT OF HALLOWEEN The house looks empty, There's no one around, There isn't a sight, There isn't a sound. In the darkness each ear, I feel the same shame, having eaten the treats... Before the kids came! Black Black is the night And a witch's cat Black is licorice And that witch's cat! Old mother witch Couldn't sew a stitch Picked up a penny And thought she was rich. IF I WAS A WITCH If I was a witch I would climb on my broom And fly away with a zoom zoom zoom Three Wee Witchies Not last night, but the night before Three wee witchies came knocking at my door One played the fiddle One played the drum And one had a pancake STUCK TO HER BUM! Boiling Hot! Boiling hot, boiling hot What will we put in the witch's pot? Boiling hot, boiling hot We'll put some spiders in the witch's pot On Halloween On Halloween just take a peek Wee brownies creep when we are asleep. Elves and pixies dance and leap. Witches ride upon a broom. And fuzzy bats dart past me-zoom! Five Little Witches Five little witches standing by the door. One flew out and then there were four. Four little witches standing by a tree. One went to pick a pumpkin and then there were three. Three little witches stirring their brew. One fell in and then there were two. Two little witches went for a run. One got lost and then there was one. One little witch, yes, only one. She cast a spell and now there are none Halloween has come today all the little pumpkins say we will laugh and dance and play Halloween's the pumpkin's day. THE SMALLEST WITCH The smallest witch you ever did see just peeked through the window and looked at me I waved once or twice but very soon, she jumped three times and flew to the moon A Little Witch A little witch in a pointed cap On my door went rap, rap, rap. When I went to open it, She was not there. She was riding on her broomstick High up in the air! LITTLE WITCH BUMPKIN Little Witch Bumpkin Sat on her pumpkin Eating three meals a day. When down came a spider Who sat down beside her And frightened Witch Bumpkin away! There was a small witch on a Halloween night Who wanted to see if her hat was on right She looked in the mirror and gave a loud scream For she really looked like a very bad dream. Jack'olantern...jackolantern You are such a funny sight As you sit by the window looking out at the night You were once an orange pumpkin growing on a slender vine Now you are a jackolantern see the candle light shine. Mary had a little lamb; you've heard this tale before. But did you know she passed her plate and had a little more?? A ghoul stood on the moonlit bank his bones were all aquiver... He gave a cough his leg fell off and floated down the river! Southern Folk Rhyme Bat! Bat! Come un'er my hat, But don't bring none yo' ole bedbugs, If yo' don' want to git fersaken. More soon! |

Oh! he was in his Sunday's best: His jacket was red and his breeches were blue And there was a hole where the tail came through. -- Robert Southey Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make! -- Bram Stoker, Dracula |

Here are ten signs you may be fully awake:
1. You know there’s no meaningful difference between major political parties (Democrats and Republicans): It’s so easy to get caught up the left-right debate and believe there’s a difference between the two major political parties. However, debate is one thing, while actions are another. By their deeds you shall know them, and it is indisputable that there is no significant difference between political parties when it comes to action on the most important issues. Even hardened ideologues like John Cusack are beginning to wake up.
2. You understand that the Federal Reserve, or international central banking more broadly, is the engine of our economic problems: Debt slavery is the totalitarian force that threatens all of humanity, not some temporary political puppet or some greedy Wall Street trader. When a small group of people have the ability to create wealth out of nothing and charge interest on it, they have the ability to enslave the planet to their ownership despite what type of government a country claims to have.
3. You know that preemptive war is
never necessary: When we realize that self-defense is the only
acceptable form of violence, then we become awakened human beings. To
suggest war because someone is different from you, or they may pose a
threat in the future is simply ludicrous. And when did the idea of
bombing civilians become humanitarian? No one wants war except for the
immoral creeps that benefit from it.
4. You know that you’re being systematically poisoned, how, by whom, and why: Admittedly, there’s a lot to learn in terms of how we are secretly being poisoned. But the fact remains that we are being systematically poisoned, and it is likely for the deliberate purpose of dumbing us down and, ultimately, culling the population. Who could believe anyone is so evil to do that to innocent people, you may ask. Well, once you begin to seek the answer to that question, you’re one step closer to enlightenment.
5. You understand that government can never legislate morality, nor should they: When you realize the role of government is only to protect your liberty and work for the well being of the citizens, you’re awakened. There should be one simple law regulating morality: Do no harm. Thus, it’s impossible for the government to enforce morality with guns, cages, and taxes because those clearly cause severe harm to your liberty and our well-being.
6. You know that the mainstream media is wholly owned and manipulated by the ruling elite: A dwindling number of people still actually believe what they hear coming from the establishment media as if it’s gospel, even when they already accept that they are bought and paid for by the elite controllers. Yet, recognizing that they are nothing more than a propaganda machine and a form of mind control are the first steps in being able to critically think beyond the scientific messaging they broadcast.
7. You know that your neighbors are not your enemy even if you have fierce ideological disagreements: This is perhaps the most difficult thing to overcome in the awakening process. But it’s vital to understand that your neighbors have been indoctrinated and hypnotized like the rest of the us, until someone helps shine a light on inconsistencies in our thoughts and beliefs. Most of their ideas are not their own. They are suffering just like the rest of us. It’s okay to condemn their actions if they’re harmful, but those who are awake will not give up on spreading information that can enlighten those who might still be in the dark. None of us were born “awake” and all of us can learn even more.
8. You know that the endgame is one-world control of planet Earth: Once you understand that the endgame for the ruling elite is to have complete control of all vital facets of society through a global government, one-world currency, international armed forces, and so on, it is simple to see through the lies and propaganda surrounding even the most confusing world events. You will never go back to sleep when you fully accept this reality.
9. You recognize that there are esoteric powers manipulating our physical world: Whether you’re a religious or spiritual person, scientific or just plain curious, there are many theories about an invisible force at play in all of this. Obviously it’s impossible to prove exactly what it is. You may not want to believe it, but the ruling elite takes their occult rituals deadly serious. And they likely know something we don’t. Just by keeping an open mind about this possibility, you’ll forever keep an open mind about the things we can actually see, hear, taste and touch. Current science has shown that we can only “see” what the visible light spectrum reveals, which amounts to the tiniest fraction of all that can theoretically be seen within the full spectrum of energy. Part of any awakening is realizing that there is much more that is possible than impossible.
10. The power to change the world rests with you and you alone: For too long people have believed themselves to be weak, or relied on others to change the world for them. You’ll know that you’re fully awake when you realize that you have infinite power to change the world by simply living the change you want to see. First, you have to identify the principles that you believe in and then go out and live by them. If just a small minority took steps to do this, it would shake the establishment to its core.

The
beauty of a woman is not only in her physical features, but rather in
her character, personality, and in her piety. A woman who is able to
face the world with a smile and graciousness in the event of trials and
struggles, and can stand tall knowing that she is working for a home in
paradise, radiates a light and glow that cannot be hidden. People, both
men and women, will stand before God on equal basis, and on that point,
hijab and dress in general helps us to remind ourselves that we are
similar before Allah except in our deeds and levels of piety.
Out
of modesty and virtue a women will cover her hair with a scarf and wear
modest clothing which is loose and does not describe the shape of her
body, exposing only her hands and face. Different countries have
different styles of hijab. And women feel beautiful wearing it knowing
that she is pleasing Allah and maintaining her dignity. Additionally,
she is treated in a manner where people look at her for who she is, not
for what she is wearing, or how she looks. As we like to say…………….
I chose to cover my head,
not my mind!

orange pad is
designed for polishes, swirl removers, and micro fine compounds. It is
suitable for repair or swirl marks, water spots, light to moderate oxidation
and minor scratches.
white pad polishes the paint using pre-wax cleaners, cleaner waxes, and finishing polishes. This dense pad provides even product application and very light cleaning ability The white foam lightly polishes the paint without abrading clear coat or single stages.
gray pad is designed for applying glazes, waxes and sealants. The composition is firm enough to remove buffer swirls but soft enough to gently apply nonabrasive products on all types of paint.
blue pad is designed for applying liquid waxes, sealants, and finishing glazes. The soft, absorbent foam will not scratch clear coated or single stage paint finishes.
red pad is ideal for applying the final coat of wax or sealant. The foam works particularly well when applying liquid waxes or sealants because it is firm enough to keep the majority of the product on the paint, rather than soaking it up. The red foam has no cut or cleaning ability.
