I love my team.

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) for those of you who don’t know is an American House bill to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Proposals include barring advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with allegedly infringing websites, barring search engines from linking to the sites, and requiring Internet service providers (ISP) to block access to the sites. The bill would criminalize the streaming of such content, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

Now, if you want to think of this seriously! It is a pure Islamic law, Because in Islam downloading movies, music, documents without paying for them while they’re payable is stealing and considered to be theft which is Haram/forbidden in Islam and counts as a sin. Stealing is included among the Greater sins in Islam “A believer cannot commit fornication and a believer cannot steal.” Thus one who fornicates or steals is not a believer. Such a person is devoid of faith. Such a person lacks belief in Allah and the Day of Judgement. If such a person dies without repenting for his sins, he does not die a believer. Some of the ayats and traditions that are critical of Khayanat also include stealing. Stealing is absolutely Haram even if it is for a worthless object. To steal even a needle is Haram. However, the hands of a thief are cut only, if in addition to all the necessary conditions the value of the stolen goods exceeds a quarter misqal of gold.

So, technically speaking. If you think you’re a Muslim and you’re downloading all sorts of piracy, including cracked software, illegal iOS apps on your phone and jail-breaking it and doing all that, it is Haram and you’re not a believer.

Thanks Zatari for filming this using the iPhone 4S.

I went there last Friday (where it was raining cats and dogs) and wished its worth going out in such weather. Arrived there around 3pm with 2 friends of mine, and our first impression was… WOW, the building from the inside doesn’t look anything like the outside, the restaurant has a really great design and is way bigger than you expect.

The menu had a really great variety of items, we were first served Muhammara, that vanished off the table in no time… I don’t usually trust such food anywhere, but this was too appealing for me to ignore.

I ordered the Msakhan dish. Usually, you don’t expect such dishes to be perfectly cooked outside the house and I’ve probably tried at least 6-7 Msakhan dishes by many family, friends and relatives mothers cooking but I can tell that I’ll be coming back to Beit El-Fukhara for Msakhan from now on. The onions, the flavor, the smell… it felt like my mother’s cooking at some point (that I terribly miss).

I really recommend you to try it out. I know for sure that I will be visiting again this week! I loved the place, loved the service and the atmosphere.

Rates: 4/5 (Parking on main road at this moment can be pain, but the place is almost flawless)

What I probably like about Zoofs is the nice layout, where I can see videos in small thumbnails, and that fact that I can browse by category and upload date. You can also view the videos in a list instead of small thumbnails as well.

I’d love to thank everyone at Prodigi for the great support, especially my team on this project. Ronza for being a one-of-a-king project coordinator and Tarakiyee for being one inevitable developer. I also want to thank Sarah and Dima from Seagulls for the great follow-up, contact and efficiency, Rob Stevens & Farah Madadha for the great work, effort and support. You guys rock! This wouldn’t have been this great success without you.
