Page 4: Today’s Ramadan message. "Noblest is the best in conduct" and all the prayer times are listed for each Emirate. Best conduct today is in relation to backbiters. In the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed "A backbiter, if he repents, will be thelat to enter paradise, and if he does not repent, then he will be of the first to enter hell."
Since The Gulf Today is aimed at the International audience, there are pages devoted to Europe, US, India, Pakistan, Asia, and the Middle East region at large. The hot topics are Turkey joining the EU, Pakistan and India finally coming to terms, the treatment of the illegal immigrants in Spain, NYC Subway threat, and the storm in Guatemala. New Orleans has been in the headlines and for the first time, the world at large is finally seeing the poverty in the United States. People overseas have rarely seen images of the US poor or homeless and this has been a revelation for many. In Dubai, I have not seen one person standing on a street corner begging for money. The sports page is centered mostly on countries outside the US. I did get to watch the Angels beat the Yankees this morning, or Friday night’s game for everyone in the US.
The Padres play at home tonight at 8PM, so I don't know when that will be for you. If they don't win then their post-season is over and St. Louis moves on.
ReplyDeleteToday's headlines will be about a big earthquake in Pakistan.
It's all over CNN. The earthquake damage looks tragic for those people. I don't know about Kuwait but there are a lot of Pakistani people in Dubai.
