Circumcision forbidden in germany
Religious circumcisions are now illegal in Germany
The District Court of Cologne has decided: Religious Circumcision is considered assault.
Germany is since July 2012 the only country in the world that forbids religious circumcision. A fact that outrages the Muslims and Jews that are living in Germany.
Judaism and the Islam both require their members to get their boys circumcised to become whole members of their communities.
In both religions boys should be circumcised in young age, before they are able to decide themselves if they want it.
From a legal perspective, the process is at first, like any other medical intervention and mayhem. If a procedure is considered medically necessary, the circumcision will have no legal consequences.
It is a fact that in Islam, the health of the human - physical and emotional - is a high good, if not one of the highest goods. Muslims know that circumcising their sons has many health benefits. Not much different is the case in Judaism.
The Jewish hospital in Berlin used to perform 300 circumcisions per year. 2/3 of them on Jewish and Muslim boys for religious reasons.
Doctors scare that now that religious circumcisions are illegal, they will be performed under unhygienic circumstances, as Jews and Muslims, certainly will not give up one of their most important traditions.
Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt
: “With this law there is no future for the Jews in Germany !"
The Cologne judgment about circumcision is considered by the Conference of European Rabbis “as the heaviest attack on Jewish life since the Holocaust“. The President of the Federation, the Moscow Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt said on Thursday in Berlin "If the law will last, I see no future for Jews in Germany." He assumes however, that the circumcision of boys for religious reasons, is enshrined in law in the Federal Republic.
Circumcision in infancy helps to reduce the risk of febrile urinary tract infections and inflammations of the penis. In adults, it reduces the risk of being affected by prostate cancer.
This proves Jews and Muslims right as they prevent this right from the beginning instead of waiting for the child to become sick and than getting, him circumcised.
Worldwide every third male Human is circumcised whether for religious reasons or simply for hygienic reasons.

Boycott Israel
I´m a muslim but that´s not the reason i boycott Israel!
Even if i was christian or a jew, i would never support the things Israel does to the palestinian citizens!
Palestinians used to live in Pelstine in Peace, before it´s been decided that their Homes should belong to israel. So how would u like it if someone comes to your country/city and tells you " please leave now, this place and everything in it belongs to us now and we dont want you here. If you dont go we will torture you, rape your wive/sisters/mother, and kill your children without mercy"?
Whatever your religion, please support this case and Boycott Israel.
Be a Human and help the Palestinians to end this nightmare.
I know its hard to stay away from all those products that support israel.
So do it step by step.
Remove these products from your daily life, one by one!

The Dentist
I finally went to the Dentist last night.
I will have to get fillings in 2 Teeth - No surprise there!
What really surprise me was that it actually didn’t hurt. I have been scared to go to the Dentist because i thought i would be in huge pain. My biggest Fear was having injections.
Well i can tell you though I’m scared of injections, it really didn’t hurt and i didn’t even feel the injection.
I just closed my eyes and waited for the pain and it didn’t come :)
After that the Dentist just cleaned the teeth which wasn’t painful but not that enjoyable too. To be honest I was shaking from nervousness.
Before this I have been in pain for about 2 weeks.
In the beginning it wasn’t such a problem and I could relieve the pain with Panadol once a day.
After some days though that wouldn’t work anymore until one night I fund myself crying from pain.
At that moment I took cataflam, antibiotics and a strong painkiller (I don’t remember the name). t worked after some time but since than I took every day cataflam (an anti flammatory ) and Antibiotics (called Curam) . It did keep the pain away but well didn’t heal the problem.
Now I don’t have any pain after getting a temporary filling in my teeth. It doesn’t feel normal though and it leaves a strange taste in the mouth at all times. But hey at least I have no pain anymore J
I was supposed to get the final filling on Thursday but since I am invited to an engagement party I will have to wait till Saturday to get it done.
Once I get this teeth done I will have to get the other one done :S
The dentist office was really, really clean (normally Egyptian doctors don’t seem to care for cleanness!) and well equipped.
I can really recommend this clinic for anyone living in Cairo/Egypt.
I heard already a lot of horror stories about Dentists here in Cairo.
My sister in law for example had some kind of surgery after an infection in a tooth and after that she had 2 days unbearable pain. You shouldn’t be in pain after this, the Dentist has to give you the right prescription for painkiller or otherwise he probably made a mistake causing the pain..
If you are interested to contact the Dentist i have been to just let me know in a comment.
The Dentist is located in El Obour City/1st Zone /
in Cairo

Losing weight in Ramadan
How to lose weight in Ramadan
I know what your first thought was while reading the headline, it probably was something like “ Ramadan is meant for spiritual worship, not a tool to lose weight!”.
And you are right, but why not use this holy month to improve your Imaan and also your health?
I will try to help you with this task and make it a little easier for you to lose weight this Ramadan and not gain weight or keep your weight, like you probably did the last few years.
First you need to analyze the reason why you haven’t lost weight the past Ramadan´s.
There are several possible reasons for weight gain in Ramadan, so let’s take them one by one.
1. Delightful Deserts
Traditional Ramadan is the time where mothers, grandmothers and Aunts will spend most of their time in the kitchen to create tasty foods and deserts that we don’t eat very often around the year. It isn’t the purpose of Ramadan to eat special dishes and to indulge in Food but that doesn’t mean you have to completely stay away from these tasty little temptations.
Give yourself a break once a week and eat the desert you like the best (I’d advise you to do that on a Friday as it’s the holiday for Muslim’s so let’s make it special) and stay away from Deserts the other days of the week.
2. Eating only once a day
Another reason for weight gain is if you only eat 1 big Meal while fasting.
Hard to believe, right? Well it is true and I’ll tell you how that works.
If you fast all day your body goes into starvation mood. So if after fasting you eat a huge Iftar and than nothing else for the rest of the night, your body will believe there is a serious crisis going on.
Your Body will store all the Food it gets and turn it into Fat, thinking you might not get Food again very soon.
So the Solution to this is pretty simple. Eat frequently during the Night.
I will give you an example of how you could keep your Diet Plan during the night.
-After the Adhaan (Prayer Call) eat 1- 3 Dates (It’s Sunnah to eat 3 Dates) and drink at least 1 Glass of Water. You can drink some Juice too if you want but still don’t leave out the water, it’s very important for hydration!
- After praying Maghrib you can eat your actual Iftar which ideally should include weather salad or a vegetable dish and soup. Try not to eat fatty dishes or anything including white Fluor.
- You should remember to drink plenty of water during the night and also during praying Taraweeh (Night Prayers in Ramadan).
- After Taraweeh u can eat a little Snack like fresh fruit salad ( use honey with it instead of sugar), Some Nuts or tasty Milkshakes. The Milkshake should be home made with fresh fruits, low fat Milk and less sugar/honey.
-For Suhoor I would suggest u anything that has a lot of Protein, as it will not let you get hungry as fast as a carbohydrate rich dish.
Ideal for Suhoor are Eggs, Fouhl or Yogurt.
The eggs can be turned into Omelette with a lot of healthy vegetables. This is a great dish to serve the whole family without making a huge effort (so you will have more time for worship).
Traditionally a lot of people eat Fouhl (cooked Beans) with Arabic bread for Suhoor. If you want to eat this, try to eat more Fouhl and less bread. Also try to get whole grain bread to eat it with the Fouhl .
3. Unhealthy Drinks
This might not be a problem specific for Ramadan but I will still address it as it’s a big step back for a healthy Life!
Soda drinks are the enemy of any healthy Diet. They contain a lot of sugar and a lot of other ingredients that harm your health.
Did you ever put a piece of meat into a bowl of Pepsi and watch what happens after about 2 days? It will nearly completely disappear. Do you really want to still drink something like this?
Fruit juices are healthy - but only in moderation, which means about 1- 2 glasses a day. And only if you choose juices without added sugar. Most juices you can buy at the store contain a lot of sugar and water and less actual juice.
So ´do something good for your health and buy a high quality juice.
Drink plenty of water! About 1.5 - 3 litre per day ( or in Ramadan per night)
If you are used to drink a lot of Coffee and tea, try to reduce your consume before Ramadan. if you suddenly give them up in Ramadan you can experience head ache from the withdrawal of Caffeine.
If you wish to drink Tea or Coffee in Ramadan limit yourself to 2 cups with less sugar.
4. Sudden drop of Exercise
It is really hard to do your regular training in Ramadan and sometimes it’s even impossible.
My advice on exercise in Ramadan would be to do it right before Maghreb, so you can drink water after it.
Don’t overdo it, 30-45 min of exercise 2-4 times a week is more than enough in Ramadan. The Taraweeh prayer will probably do the rest for your exercise routine.
At last I want to remember you that Ramadan is meant as a reminder of the Poor and Needy.
We are supposed to feel some of their hardships ourselves to sympathize with them and to remember them even long after Ramadan is gone.
It’s not time to indulge in food and find excuses to eat more than ever just because you haven’t eaten the whole day.
So remember yourself of this and improve your health and Imaan in Ramadan and keep it up all Year.
