Jum'ah journal-The Art of Compassion for sale

 Somewhere in the late nineties the 'administrators' who had taken over the handling of 'healthcare' as a commodity felt that from business point of view this is not going right as the doctors do not know how to do it. Then they started introducing such terminology that was suitable for Ford Motor company because health care required "production line" philosophy and since doctors  make a lot of money and are not delivering enough healthcare, let us do it and employ doctors as our subordinates (serves them right).
 Has the cost of healthcare improved?
Can you measure compassion or care in terms of silver/gold?
 Not that all physicians are 'saints' and do not 'sell' their product (healthcare) at higher and higher prices and but that is usually devoid of care and compassion, in my opinion and see this article.

Jum'ah Journal--how to say it

             You are very familiar with the language and the words you chose for your expression but there is catch here. If you say about something you totally agree with:
 "You can say that again"
 It is clearly understood but if you say these words when you are speaking , say for example, Urdu, you will end up saying
 "aap dobarah keh saktay hain". It would not convey the same thing to the Urdu-speaking person, in fact it will produce confusion.
 It is just that this example turned up when I am writing, no particular meaning but what I am trying to say is becoming clear.  Speaking clear means this, words are clear what you are trying to say is clearly expressed and not confusing or not contrary to th message etc. etc.  There is a verse in the Noble Qur'an
 " O ye who believe, fear Allah and say the word directed to the right...." (S. 33, Verse #70
 Well actually what it means is that words should be clear and good and correct and well-meaning

Sunday Surkhi--Farrakhan and Qadzafi

Of course one would not expect Farrakhan to speak against the interests of Col. Moammar Qazdafi for he has may be 'three million reasons' to speak in his favor, speaking from Maryam Mosque. Well They may have many things in common including rapidly declining popularity in the world (of media and men). Farrakhan's speeches and sometimes his somewhat daring topics or adventurous undertakings (Million man march) add to his charismatic personality which seems to be the reason behind making a proper and fitting 'khalifa' of Alijah Muhammad to head the NOI movement in USA.
 However for the inquisitive mind and for the balance of opinion making I wish ti inform the readers some good things attributable to Qazdafi in Libya (derived from blog of I.A.Bhopal)
 1. Free-education up to 8th grade.
2. Free supply of milk for every newborn in Libya up to two years
3. Free hospitalization for every Libyan including medicines.
There may be more. Average per person yearly income in Libya is quoted at $12000.00
    This information and the figures invite soul-searching but at the same time you see Qazdafi as a powerful man bombing his own people, killing innocents as well as the 'rebels',to maintain his grip. Would he maintain his 'popularity' to the same extent if given continued chance of "governing'?

Qur'an burning and its reaction

 What media has missed.
Muslims will NOT burn Bibles
 Muslims will NOT make cartoon of Jesus (PBUH)
I wish I could also say the same about Churches
BECAUSE (these actions are UNISLAMIC and) Islam prohibits such activity AND IN ADDITION :
 The Muslims are the only ones who respect and have reverence for Jesus PBUH (perhaps even more than Christians)---No Muslim country dare make movies of Jesus or Moses or Muhammad, out of respect.
The Muslims are the only ones who respect and have reverence for Bible, almost like Christians ( and can take an oath on Bible almost like they would on Qur'an).
This is not just because Islam teaches respect for other religions but ALSO because Islamic beliefs about Jesus Christ and the Christian Scriptures (and of course Jewish Scriptures)

Sunday Surkhi--Torture Tactics

 It seems that once a behavior is observed and ignored or passed without comments/correction it is considered OK to continue it. Human weakness is such that even if conscience bothers it is ignored because it is perceived there is no "supervisor".
 That the physicians in Israel have been ignoring lot of physical and mental torture of the prisoners from Gaza and such places, is now well-documented and being pursued by other physicans concerned about this unethical practice. Such physicians are considered accomplices in torture whether they realize it or not.
 Now, we are getting info about the American physicians behaving the same way toward their prisoners and this is a very disturbing news, (BMJ of March) although since the times of "Abu Ghuraib" photos there has been attempts to improve the situation but once this kind of behavior sets in it is passed as normal and unfortunately it is going to remain with the "conquerer" (Remember Changez Khan)
 So, which country in the West should be considered civilized?
