		<title>Imagine.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Imagine yourself gazing upon the Earth.
In near orbit.
There are a few massive yet graceful space stations in geosynchronous orbit. Ships capable of near-space travel dock at the station, disgorging dozens, or even hundreds, of tourists and businesspeople. Supply barges constantly ply established routes bringing vital supplies and refills to the station. Private space yachts glide [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m Bringin&#8217; Sweetness Back.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[salamualaikum 
So, Rabyia asked me a question:
&#8220;Iâ€™m really interested to know how you would advice an individual who has tasted the sweetness of eemaan but through stresses of life has drifted away from the deen and now has become like a stranger to even the simplest of deeni matters.&#8221;
Honestly I don&#8217;t feel capable of answering [...]]]></description>

THE FOLLOWING APPEARED ON CRAIG&#8217;S LIST :
What am I doing wrong?
Okay, I&#8217;m tired of beating around the bush. I&#8217;m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I&#8217;m articulate and classy.I&#8217;m not from New York. I&#8217;m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do Grades really Matter?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found the following really interesting. Seems like a lot of world and business leaders  were either mediocre in their studies, or complete dropouts [like Bill Gates and others]

From an article by Maclean&#8217;s:
 
A growing body of evidence suggests grades don&#8217;t predict success &#8212; C+ students are the ones who end up running the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Down, but not out.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can take my money.
You can take my belongings.
You can take my friends and family.
You can take the roof over my head.
You can take the clothes off my back.
You can take my body to the limit, and beyond.
&#8230;
But you&#8217;ll never douse the white-hot fire of my eyes.
You&#8217;ll never breach the fortress of my will.
You&#8217;ve got [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An English professor wrote the words &#8220;woman without her man is nothing&#8221; on the blackboard and directed her students to punctuate it correctly.
The male students wrote: &#8220;Woman, without her man, is nothing.&#8221;
The female students wrote: &#8220;Woman! Without her, man is nothing.&#8221;

		<title>To eat or not to eat &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[MuslimMatters had a good article recently on the whole Doritos chips ruckus about animal rennet. I found it to be mostly thorough when it came to explaining their stance on why Doritos are still halaal despite the inclusion of animal rennet during the manufacturing process.Â 
Being a thorough and researched article, its a bit long but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Junk Food. You Know You Love It.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes you do. trying to say anything else means you&#8217;re in denial.  

So listen up. 
I think most people have been brainwashed by the health industry. Its a multi-billion dollar-/-year industry and its interested in nothing except promoting this Utopian image of what the &#8220;perfect body&#8221; is. You all are a bunch of suckers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once there was a scholar whom Allaah ta3ala had blessed with four children, all boys.Â 
One day, one of the boys passed away, and upon being told the news, the scholar&#8217;s reaction was truly exemplary. He said:
