Reality Views by sm -
In the lower house of federal parliament ,136 members voted for a nationwide ban on clothes or veils that do not allow the wearer to be fully identified including the full face niqab and burqa.
No one voted against the bill and 2 members did not attend the voting.


"We're the first country to spring the locks that have made a good number of women slaves, and we hope to be followed by France, Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands; countries that think,'' Said liberal deputy Denis Ducarme.

The ban will be imposed in streets, public gardens and sports grounds, public buildings.
In festivals, carnivals only municipal authorities can relax this rule.

People who will not follow this rule and law will face a fine of 15 to 25 Euros and or a jail sentence of up to seven days.

Regarding this law all political parties supported the bill.
Upper house of Belgium got the 2 weeks of time to raise any objections to this law.
If the Senate approves it, Belgium would become the first country in Europe to ban the burqa.
One town Maaseik in Belgium banned the burqa six years ago. And no one wears Burqa in this town today.

France banned Muslim head scarves as well as Jewish skullcaps and Christian crosses from schools in 2004.
President Nicolas Sarkozy has declared that the burqa is not welcome in France, but still France is in the process of making this law.
France's National Assembly will begin debate in early July on a bill banning Muslim women from wearing the full Islamic veil.
A final draft of the legislation outlawing the face-covering veil from all public spaces as well as state institutions is set to be approved by the cabinet on 19 May.
Staunchly secular France passed a law in 2004 banning the wearing of headscarves or any other "conspicuous" religious symbols in state schools.

Belgium has done it now lets see can the France, Italy and Other European nations do it and ban the Burqa, a piece of cloth which is against freedom of females and against the dignity.

Reality Views by sm –

1.USA – In the US elections, many candidates stand for the election and the candidate who gets more than 50% votes wins the election.

2.On the other hand, in Germany, Germany uses different type of voting, where voter gives two votes one for candidate and one for party. This way in Germany Party becomes more important, Party controls all, Loyalty is towards party, and taxpayer’s money is given to the political parties according to the proportion of votes each political receives, also big companies pay donations and by membership. In Germany individual opinion no value, important is what the vision of party is.

3.In America, political parties raise their own funds, In American political parties do not decide the candidates for the elections, and it is decided through primaries races between the party candidates where every voter who thinks he is supporter of the party goes to vote, in this way party workers decide who will be their election candidate. In America, country is divided into congressional districts, one for each member of the house of parliament, and the person who wins the district seat gets the corresponding seat in the House, After every Ten years the area of districts is changed to keep the size of the districts same, but here its possible that ruling party can change districts such a way that opposite party voters are divided and ruling party will again win that seat.

4.In America President is not more powerful , more powerful is congress on the other hand in Germany Chancellor in Germany is elected by the parliament , the Bundestag this means that Chancellor in Germany is very powerful as he got the seat with the majority .

5.In many US states, they got a system of direct democracy, where citizens can bring up ballot measures if they raise enough signatures. There are no restrictions on the contents of these measures, tax reductions, criminal laws, recalls of non-performing politicians and changes of state constitutions, Local prosecutors, sheriffs, and judges are also often directly elected by the citizens, on the other hand, in Germany they are appointed, this way Politician becomes more powerful.

6.In America, voting percentage is reducing because American people have started to think and behave in such a way that permanently they are going to remain the richest country of the world. This is just one of the reasons.

7.In America Employer can fire employee without any reason and the employee get insurance benefit only for 26 weeks, In Germany for One-year employee gets all the benefits.

8.American people do not save money , they live on the credit cards, People of Germany also live on credit cards but they still try to save the money monthly.

9.In America is land where Freedom of speech is very well guarded, if one American did not like the book of other American , he will say him I do not support your view , but I will fight with you so American government will not ban the book, On the other Hand in Germany this will rarely happen, because of Nazi experience. Still in US, freedom speech is mainly enjoyed by the rich , if you are from middle class and if you are doing job and your boss is against your political views he may fire you and you cannot claim this in the court that , the situation in US is very complicated regarding Freedom of Speech. In Germany, it is not easy to fire the employee it requires notice with reason it is a lengthy process. In US patriot Act is one act which is used by FBI and if it is used against a person he becomes totally helpless once the court orders are with the FBI , the person against whom such order is passed is not allowed to talk to anyone, he is not allowed to tell his or her wife or husband or family , he is not allowed to write a letters to newspapers, So again here freedoms are not safeguarded .

10.Prostitution , Anal Sex and zoophily are not illegal in Germany but are illegal in many American states , in the year 2003 Supreme Court of America struck down the prohibitions against anal sex .

11.In few American cities they got curfew rules, which prohibit teenagers to travel alone at night , must be accompanied by an adult , In Germany Teenagers can enjoy with the friends. Alternatively, even plan to trips to other nations .

While filling our tax form if American person faces problem he has to just call a toll free telephone number and someone on the other hand will help you out by giving guidance step by step, even one can file whole taxes over the phone, on the other hand in Germany its very difficult process.

20.In America after the divorce of parents father has to pay for the kids ,but if father runs away from that state, it becomes very difficult for mother to get the money from that father, on the other hand if in Germany when parents get divorce , the payments of the kids is directly cut from the fathers salary and is given to the mother so no chance for the father to run away and not to pay the mother for the kids.

28.In US majority companies have the toll free telephone number , every product which American people purchase , and after opening it also that product can be returned and the buyer gets his money back . But in Germany, only defective products can be returned and you will not get cash back .

Before German unification in 1990 the Federal Republic consisted initially of ten states, and later, after the reintegration of Saarland as of January 1, 1957, of 11 states, which were established in the zones occupied by the Western Powers (USA, Great Britain, and France). In the Soviet-occupied zone, too, at the end of the War five states were formed in the territory which later became the GDR, but in 1952 these were transformed into a total of 14 districts (Bezirke). After the first free elections on March 18, 1990, it was decided to create five new states on GDR territory

The president has largely ceremonial functions. The Basic Law does not accord the Federal President a right of veto

42. The Federal President remains in office for a period of five years; he can be re-elected only once.

43. Germany has a bicameral parliament.

44. The two chambers are the Bundestag (Federal Diet or lower house) and the Bundesrat (Federal Council or upper house).

45. The Bundestag is the German parliament. Its elected representatives are organized in parliamentary parties and select a President from among them. It is the function of the Bundestag to elect the Federal Chancellor and keep him in office through support for his policies.

46. The Bundestag’s expert Parliamentary Committees discuss the bills introduced to Parliament in great detail

47. Both chambers can initiate legislation, and most bills must be approved by both chambers, as well as the executive branch, before becoming law.

48. The federal government consists of the chancellor and his or her cabinet ministers.

49. Every four years, after national elections and the seating of the newly elected Bundestag members, the federal president nominates a chancellor candidate to that parliamentary body; the chancellor is elected by majority vote in the Bundestag.

50. Under the German electoral system each voter has two votes, the first of which is for a candidate in his or her constituency, the second for a state list of candidates put up by a particular party. The number of seats a party holds in the Bundestag is determined by the number of valid second votes it receives.

51. The second ballot or vote is cast for a particular political party. These second votes determine each party's share of the popular vote.

52.A proportional representation system distributes legislative seats based on a party's percentage of the popular vote. For example, if a party wins 15 percent of the popular vote, it receives 15 percent of the seats in the Bundestag. If a party wins more constituency seats than it is entitled to according to its share of the vote in the second ballot, the party retains those seats, and the size of the Bundestag is increased. This was the case in both the 1990 and 1994 federal elections. After the 1990 election, the total number of seats in the Bundestag rose from 656 to 662. In 1994 sixteen extra seats were added, leading to a 672-member Bundestag

53. The electoral law stipulates that a party must receive a minimum of 5 percent of the national vote, or three constituency seats, in order to get any representation in the Bundestag.The 5 percent clause was crafted to prevent the proliferation of small extremist parties

54. Germany holds no by-elections; if Bundestag deputies resign or die in office, the next candidate on the party’s list in the appropriate Land automatically succeeds them.

55. Germany is divided into 328 electoral districts with roughly 180,000 voters in each district. Half of the Bundestag members are directly elected from these districts. Normally in Germany voter turnout is always more than 80 percent sometimes it was even more than 90 percent.In Germany voting is not compulsory .

56. In Germany it is very difficult for the single party to form the government, normally its always alliance of parties, coalition of parties.

57. Half the 598 seats in the Bundestag are allocated by means of the parties’ state lists (the second vote) and the other half by the direct election of candidates in the 299 constituencies (the first vote).

58. As a rule, in the Bundestag no one party has a clear majority. For this reason a coalition, in other words an alliance of various parties is normally necessary to be able to elect a Chancellor.

Immigration Policy – Invited Danger or Boon

Immigration Policy – Invited Danger or Boon -
Reality Views by sm -
From olden times humans are always traveling places for good life and good food.
In ancient times anyone was free to go anywhere and stay there, those times were different.
Now in this Global village Immigration is a legal way to settle in a new better country.
Immigration is a process to move from low class, 3rd class nation to the First class nation. high class nation.



So it is duty of every country to see that only eligible, good humans come and stay in that progressive high class nation.
Today this Globe is divided into 3 thoughts and visions,
1. Democratic - full freedom of humans ,
2. Limited democratic freedoms
3. complete religious ideology

Democratic - full freedom of humans-
If first category humans go to anywhere in this world they do not harm the local culture or the democratic values. They believe in the principal that if you are in Rome, be Roman.

2nd category and 3rd category people when come to settle in any nations they can become harmful to the nation.
Limited democratic freedoms -
2nd category people accept Limited Democracy and try to balance religion and Democracy, but problem in this category people is that these people can any time become the extreme people, religious people and cause damage to the nation or start to divide the nation in the name of Religious rights, caste and religion.

Complete religious ideology-
And 3rd category people give birth to the Taliban. For them religion is important than constitution, peace or human joy. They are not ready to sacrifice their religion, caste for the human peace and joy or the constitution of that nation.
So it is the duty of every person to see that Government, law makers do not allow 3rd category people to settle in their respective nation.
Even each government should see that 2nd category and 3rd category people do not come to their state through immigration.
Immigration is a process through which a nation invites, gives a right to person from low class nation to settle in their high class nation when he comes to settle in high class nation that person not only brings his education and skills but he brings his thinking, his ideology with him which in future will damage the high class nation if he belongs to the 3rd category of person, and 2nd category person is a potential danger.
Prevention is better than cure.
So high class nations should make such laws,such a immigration policy that only category one, full democratic people should settle permanently in their High class nation.
Even on the name of education and skills or for the higher studies the governments should not allow 3rd category persons to settle or visit their high class nations.
The solution is for studies or education Scholarships only female students should be allowed or given visa.

Normally in all 3rd class or low class nations, a female child is considered as a burden and parents are not ready to teach them, send them to schools, collages and higher education

So high class nations should make a law and only invite female students for studies in their high class nation which will reduce crime rate as well as those females will when return to their low class nations they can try and empower the other females of that nation and this may help change the ideology of low class nation ,
Where female is considered as a burden and just cow, producing babies.
Time has not lost; Change Immigration Policy otherwise Wrong Immigrants Will Change your Culture and Only Damage will be done to the higher class nation Females.
Females should never forget
Every Religion is against them as well as freedoms.

Barbie converts to Islam and gets a hijab –

Barbie converts to Islam and gets a hijab –
On the name of saving children, Barbie makers are introducing Muslim Barbie, Hijab wearing Barbie into the market.
On the front this looks very good start, but its consequences in the future are not good.
This step is not good for any children.
Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover, make over for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby's for Save the Children.
Eliana Lorena is putting Barbie undercover for an auction to celebrate the doll's 50th anniversary.


The company director of Laird Assessors from The Wirral, Cheshire, said: 'Bring it on Burkha Barbie, I think this is a great idea. 'I think this is really important for girls, wherever they are from they should have the opportunity to play with a Barbie that they feel represents them.

Reality Views by sm –
You can introduce the Barbie with cover there is no need to call it a Hijab and to get popularity and make money.
This is nothing but setting the mind of young girls that when they grow up they have to put on Hijab.
Indirectly it will encourage among girls to put on Hijab, It will support extreme Muslim peoples thinking.
In the year 2003, Saudi Arabia banned Barbie saying that, the dolls revealing clothes and shameful postures, accessories and tools are a symbol of decadence to the perverted West.
Last year in 2008, Iranian prosecutor Ghorban Ali Dori Najafabadi warned that Barbie dolls are destructive culturally and a social danger. They also singled out Batman, Spiderman, and Harry Potter toys.
Barbie in Hijab – This is not the first Barbie,
In the year 2002, Iran tried to sell the Sara and Dara dolls to compete with Barbie doll with the help of moral police But Sara and Dara did not sell well.
In the year 2003 United Arab Emirates company, Newboy started to sell doll named as Fulla a dark eyed more realistically proportioned doll with Muslim values.
Photo of The Fulla Doll –


Because of good marketing they found the market across the Middle East.
Currently Fulla and Indonesian Muslim doll, Arrosa are sold in the Islamic world.
In Islam it is not mentioned about putting Hijab, this is very conflicting issue in Islam,
As mother is in Hijab automatically it sets the mind set of young girls in Muslim community and we can see that educated Muslim girls also support the Hijab.
Because of fear of community and social status or any other reasons.
Barbie was first launched in March 1959 by American businesswoman Ruth Handler. The doll was joined by her long-term boyfriend Ken in 1961.
Do not glorify the Hijab, if you support the Hijab and if you are male I will just request please you start to put the Hijab for 1 year for 24 hours and then say the world its benefits.
Every child should be kept away from this type of religious symbols or any symbol which ever religion it belongs. Let them enjoy there childhood religion free.
Let the child grow naturally.
I am not against any type of dolls; it’s your business do it as you want it. But every action makes impact on the future of kids.
So do not bring Hijab and religion among the young kids while playing.
Do not destroy there innocence and do not divide them.

France: Know the French Policy, Law towards Religion:

France: Know the French Policy, Law towards Religion:
Reality Views by sm:
In France law is divided into two groups private law and public law .Private law includes
Civil law and Criminal law.
Public law includes administrative law and constitutional law.
France does not recognize religious law. This means that a no law is made to make a religion book an authority. No law is derived from religious book.
In the year 1791 sodomy laws were abolished.



In France there you can see the equality of law, no particular religion can dominate France. All religions are equal in the eyes of law. In schools all religious symbols are banned including cross.

France is the smallest emitter of carbon dioxide among the seven most industrialized countries in the world.
France is a secular country as freedom of religion is a constitutional right.
In France concept of laïcité is followed. In English sometimes it is mentioned as
"Laicity" or "laicism".
This concept means that France is a secular society where religion will not interfere into government matters and policies. In other words we can say that its separation of church and state government. In schools religious influence is not allowed.
In France there is no state religion. Freedom of thought is respected as good as freedom of religion.
The French government is legally prohibited from recognizing any religion.
From the year 1880, this principal is followed in the France, the principal of laicity.
In France it is expected that a politician should not mix his religion with his duties.
From the year 1905, France government is forbidden to fund for any religion.
The French healthcare system was ranked first worldwide by the World Health Organization in 1997.
Care is generally free for people affected by chronic diseases.
FRENCH SYMBOLS:
Marianne is a symbol of the French Republic. She is an allegorical figure of liberty and the Republic and first appeared at the time of the French Revolution.
France National Flag: blue, white, red, the colours are those of Paris (blue and red) + royal (white) (1789)

Symbols of Nazism, including 'mein kampf' and material questioning the extent of National Socialist crimes or praising its actions, are forbidden in France. The penalty is a prison sentence of up to one year, or a fine (the maximum is €46,000).

President Sarkozy dares to talk against Hijab or Burka:

President Sarkozy dares to talk against Hijab or Burka:
In short know what Sarkozy said in the French parliament, that the full body religious gown is a sign of subservience for a woman that undermines their dignity.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has opposed the wearing of the Muslim burqa in public.

Today even president obama is afraid to talk against religion Islam or any other religion.


Reality Views by sm :

If we will see the history of religions we will see that every religion has went through changes.
Let’s start with Hindu Dharma or Religion
Hindu religion got sati system, no education for females, dowary system, and child marriage
No divorce for females etc.
Still today in Hindu religion you will find that many of above customs are present .When in India educated reformers started to give education to the females first of all majority females opposed that change. Females didn’t permit other females to study.
When law against sati was made Females opposed that.
When dowry law is made you can see females oppose that also.
So the point is that if Females support the partucular law then that law is good and so it should remain the law is not correct approach.
If majority females say ban jeans will you support it?
If majority females say that no education for females will you support it.
It’s the duty of country to see that females also enjoy the equality status in the society.Females also get choice,and females are not treated as baby giving cows.

Let’s understand what is Hijab or Burka?
The headscarf worn by Muslim women, sometimes including a veil that covers the face except for the eyes.
It said that if female do not put hijab or burka after her death she will not get place in the heaven.Every good female will put and use Hijab.
Hijab is used so females can be protected from the bad males as no one can say which man is good or bad.

I just remembered something once a child got a game as a gift from his father and he started to play with the game, suddenly he saw his friends are coming to his home and he immediately covered his game, as he thought game is his property, his friends may take away his property that is his game.

Hijab is bad or good is a different question

The question is of choice. Be honest with yourself. Do you see any choice for Muslim females?
If you are a rich Muslim female you will not be forced to put on a hijab.
Normally the child inherent the habits of parents regarding food and clothes and all other activities. If you are born in a non veg eating family, you will become non-vegetarian.

Did you ever think what will happen if any Muslim female decides that she will not use hijab?
Does Muslim world and society will accept her?
So how can this choice be introduced in the Muslim world so females will get a right to choose, use hijab or no hijab and still maintain there dignity in the society.

Indirectly using hijab becomes compulsion on Muslim females.
Even Hindu people are trying to put dress code on females; Hindu females are educated so they can oppose it strongly. What happened in Mangalore We have all seen it.
In Utter Pradesh they tried to ban Jeans, but the attempt failed.

Yes for Hijab or No for Hijab should be the right of females. But today females do not enjoy this right of freedom to choose.

As France is a democracy ,President Sarkozy will introduce law in the parliament and after that voting will be done and the law will be passed.Before that there will be lot of debates and a parliamentary committee.


If god wanted humans should use clothes then why not child is born with clothes?

If you believe that God is there then answer is that he also wanted to give a choice.
This is reason he has given us power of thinking.

Updated on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 –

How we Indians Can achieve change Be the change ?

How we Indians Can achieve change?
Individual Change Do not change society
Now and then, I always here this change yourself and society will change. Be the change which you want to see.
Sorry I do not agree with this statement. .Here we are talking about our nation .Our Society. Suppose you clean your house will it make your neighbors home clean?



Suppose you keep your dog pets and garden clean and in good condition.
Will this your action improve your neighbors habits? Will they start to keep there home and place clean?
It is always said that a rotten fruit destroys all good fruits.
Now let’s go to Ramayana and Mahabharata, in both stories you can find Ravana and Kourava both represent bad people.
Ram, Pandavas and Krishna represent good people.
So as per your theory which says change your self and society will change is correct,
Why then Ravana and Kourava didn’t change.
Krishna told to them that it is duty of Pandavas to go and try to convince kouravas and get yours what is yours rightfully otherwise do a war with them and get what is rightfully yours.
If Krishna and Ram can not change bad humans, how a common man can change his neighbors, his society in which few gonads and criminals live.
we can give them many chances to improve but as our politicians and few educated people say individual change will change country and society, But in reality this will not happen, we want individual change as well as we want change in our nation But today situation is that honest person is fearful of law as well as gonads and criminals. on the other hand in India criminals don’t fear law or police but you may find many people saying that law and police fear gonads and criminals.
Here we are talking about social change, how the social change can be achieved
Only through strict, simple laws and very strict implementation of law, if lawmaker is found law braking then punishment should be 100 times more. And in this cases justice should be given in 1 week which is possible .Justice Delayed is Justice Denied.

We have to amend our constitution making such provisions like accountability for lawmakers, politicians, judiciary, and police department as well as state .Duties of State should be clearly mentioned with fines and punishments for them who are in charge of state.Eg. It is the duty of state to keep stray dogs away from roads, if stray dog is found on road ,or any accident happens on road the collector of the city or police commissioner of the city be suspended immediately and he should be made to pay fines. Like this very simple and effective laws.
Retirement age for politician’s .Next is provisions. laws which will stop mob rule ,provisions which will give more importance to our freedom of speech and profession, and give us security from mob rule so no one will dare to brake your home or shop for name change, or no one will stop you enjoying valentines day with your wife or mom or full family, no one will dare to beat females or males without reason., even if there is reason there are peaceful ways and laws even we need policies where every police action will be recorded , and reviewed by senior citizens and scientists, doctors and lawyers.
Yes we can, yes together we Indians can change our lives, we can change
“Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.”

If today I clean my home my home will become clean , may be after that my friends will clean there home , but our Society will not change for this we need implementation of laws.
To end I will again give one example I do not drink and smoke but I know many friends who drink and smoke
They didn’t change I told them not to smoke and drink, they told me I should drink and smoke neither I change nor they changed
So will it change them?
Gandhi said change yourself and he followed non violence but Gandhi himself got killed by violence, a gun...
No human can change society; society can be changed with laws and implementation of laws.
“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest - but the myth - persistent, persuasive and unrealistic”

“Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.”

Google Earth and Ban:

Google Earth and Ban:
Now and then we here the demand that ban google earth,
but it is not solution to ban google earth,
they say because of google earth our country is in danger,before the invention of google earth there we saw pearl harbour happend,
world wars happend, the armed forces carried out full plans with knowledge of enemy.

If google earth is so powerful as they claim then why al quida and other terror organisations are failing there attempts to destroy usa or uk
after one attack they were not able to carry out 2nd attack on usa.
every invention has good side as well as bad side,example is television set,
mobile phone,black berry, does anyone claim that they be banned as they are used by terrorist.mobile phones are more dangerous than google earth, just by doing few changes to mobile phone it can become mobile bomb.
everytool can be use for good purpose or bad puropose.example is knife, knife can be used to cut fruits or knife can be used to cut the head of a human or animal Just depends on how one person use the tool.google earth is a just tool.Before evolution of google earth there were crimies and terror attack.when you say google earth is bad should be banned it is like saying i can not dance becasue the floor,land is not proper straight.when one person decides to do a crime ,he will do the crime anyway with or without the help of google earth If google earth is banned then first of all we have to banned the ships ,airplanes, buses as terrorist people come to other country using this vehicles then you can ban the google earth when someone opposes google earth, we as a global society should undersand that,the person is opposing google earth because he wants to become famous. or he is educated but uneducated.Do not oppose google earth but see that intelligence,police, politicians are doing there duties.when you oppose google earth ,it means you do not trust your army, your airforce, your police department. what information google earth can give to terror organisations only location of our security base, before arrival of google earth that time also enemy knew the places of security. We should strethen our army, airforce and police department so even if terror groups attack our nation our forces will destroy them ,kill them.Google earth is a wonderful tool.Google earth is a virtual globe,if you can not travel you can travel using google eath, google earth can be used in schools to teach kids about our earth.its great tool.

Know and understand Islamic banking

BY- SM
Know and understand Islamic banking .
Easy approach to understand islamic banking.
what is islamic banking system ?
A banking system which is based on Sharia muslim law and principles is called as islamic
banking system.
This banking system do not allow to give interest . this banking system do not allow to invest
money in the business which are contrary to islamic principles and law ,the term is harram
is used in islam for this.
this banks currently operate in muslim community mainly.
The first islamic bank was started ,savings bank based on profit-sharing in the Egyptian
town of Mit Ghamr in 1963. The first modern commercial Islamic bank, Dubai Islamic Bank, opened its doors in 1975.
The basic principle of Islamic banking is the sharing of profit and loss and the prohibition of
riba (usury).
Islamic or Shariah-compliant banking provides and uses financial services and products that
conform to Islamic religious practices and laws, which, in particular, prohibit the payment
and receipt of interest at a fixed or predetermined rate. In practice, this means that instead
of loans, Islamic banks use profit-and-loss sharing arrangements (PLS), purchase and
resale of goods and services, and the provision of services for fees form the basis of
contracts
In an Islamic bank, the rate of return on a deposit is directly dependent on the quality of the
bank's investment decisions.If the bank records losses as a result of bad investments, depositors may lose some (or all)
of their deposits. The contractual agreement between depositors and the Islamic banks
does not predetermine any rates of return, it only sets the ratio according to which profits
and losses are distributed between the parties to the deposit contract.
understand the islamic banking through example :
suppose Mr john wants a loan to purchase a car or say house and he goes to islamic bank,then bank will purchase the car and keep the ownership with the car and give that car to
mr.john .The ownership remains with the Bank until Mr.john pays the loan amout to the bank.same rule is applied to nearly everything just they use differet names for transactions.there are no late fees,penalites etc if john is not able to pay on time.

And finally, Islamic banking is restricted to Islamically acceptable deals, which exclude
those involving alcohol, pork, gambling, sex,movies, etc.

When islamic bank is smaller it works very good as depositers and management of bank
can watch ,monitor every activitiy very closely.
But when islamic bank becomes bigger crosses the state borders it becomes very difficult
to monitor .
current banking system is good but what happend in usa and fallout of all
economies is a result of greddyness of politicians, bankers,executives.
To over this problem there should be international monitoring bank or body which will watch
and detect the frauds,greedyness.laziness of banks .

Usa -Survey links watching TV sex to teen pregnancy rates - we disagree reject it.

Usa -Survey links watching TV sex to teen pregnancy rates - we disagree reject it.
Watching television shows such as 'Gossip Girl' or 'Desperate Housewives' that feature sexual content may put teens at an increased risk of becoming pregnant, a study found.
Adolescents who have high levels of exposure to television programs that contain sexual content are twice as likely to be involved in a pregnancy over the following three years as their peers who watch few such shows, according to a new RAND Corporation study.

we totally disagree with this reasearch .

There is no relationship between sex and tv and pregnancy if there may be relationship then also it do not relate to pregnancy.

Let me explain , In asian countries , India, Pakistan,Bangladesh where Fashion Tv is banned or goverment says its vulagr, where on indian television you can not show bikini models,where sex education on television is banned , in this situation also in india, teenage pregnancy is rising as fast as usa but it is not reported .

On the other hand it says when teen boys and girls watch sex related shows after 3 years it will result in girls pregnancy.

Did you take into consideration social freedom ,availability of sex knowledge, abortion,parents negligicne, teens may try to revolt against society by becoming pregnant so many reasons.

So we totally disagree with this finding that tv is responsible for teen pregnancy in usa and if you agree with the result what is the reason there is rising teen pregnancy in India or other countries where sex knowledge is banned,where sex talk show is banned.

Before invention of television also there were teen pregnancy, its nature and nature will do its job of reprodution we have to see that contraceptives,condomes and pills are available to each boy and girl eaisly, install condoms machines in every school,every gym ,every library, make them available contraceptives keeping there privacy.

This will result into no pregnancy, Today also many parents do not allow boys and girls enjoy what nature want them to enjoy so its good if they get contraceptives without knowledge of society ,when they want to enjoy sex then can enjoy sex and use contraceptive.

Make them aware of sexual diseases, start telvesion channes dedicated to sex knowledge ,sex diseases ,teen pregnancy.

But the soceity will not do this and say dont do sex ,sex is bad ,do you think nature or god who gives such desires in teens is wrong .

why people use pirated softwares

Normally users do not want to use cracked versions of softwares. But because of financial problems they are unable to purchase that softwares as there prices are too high for them to purchase. So i feel software companies need to reduce the price and software companies will find that people have started to purchase licenced copies of softwares.

Unless and Untill software companies do this there will not be end of using pirated softwares. Alos now people have started to use free softwares as they are better than any products which people need to purchase .Following are the few examples, names of softwares .

1] AVG antiviurs free version beats any antivirus programme or its equal to best industry standards and avast

2] spybot for spyware detection, adaware

3] open office from sun

4] winamp

I would like to say thanks to this companies for providing such good user friendly softwares free of cost, to needy computer users who can not afford to purchase softwares

Kings and Politicians Democracy Is there any difference

There was an era when in every state there were kingdoms and state was ruled by kings and Queens. .

At that time , we can find that kings became rich his ministers became rich and ministers relatives became rich and ruled the state and state rules that is to say kings rule they were all above those rules .

you will find few exceptions also. Like King Shivaji from India. Maharashtra state.

Now today, we have democracy in many countries or other form of governments.
But do you see any change between kingdoms and democracy.

In majority countries you will find that politicians are becoming rich, there relatives are becoming rich.

Rich class is becoming richer day by day poor is becoming poor. You can say today’s poor class middle class has little more rights, more enjoyments but in the end he is a willing slave of his employer

Do you see any employee has right to speak against his employer say it may be a truth but the employee must keep quiet. Otherwise he will be fired from his job immediately.

There are very few cases like bill Clinton where President or say Prime Minister of state has been tried by state.

Normally you will see, a commission is appointed then there is just a time pass
There is no result just inquiry after inquiry and common mans, taxpayers money is wasted on this inquires in millions of dollars.

So I just request to the every govt. that please stop this wastage of money or give the result with speedy action not any separate committee to decide which action should be taken.

John Lenon — One of my most favorite singer.

Below are the lyrics of song Imagine by John Lenon , watch video song Imagine below the lyrics.


Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…

You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
