    It is very important but fact is all Muslims are not stupid and women are innocent and wear nice choice dresses. And faithful person get success everywhere. And true follower of Islamic women will never do such kind of work

    Einstein's Gravity Theory Passes Toughest Test Yet

    Apr. 25, 2013 — A strange stellar pair nearly 7,000 light-years from Earth has provided physicists with a unique cosmic laboratory for studying the nature of gravity. The extremely strong gravity of a massive neutron star in orbit with a companion white dwarf star puts competing theories of gravity to a test more stringent than any available before

    Ancient Earth Crust Stored in Deep Mantle

    Apr. 24, 2013 — Scientists have long believed that lava erupted from certain oceanic volcanoes contains materials from the early Earth's crust. But decisive evidence for this phenomenon has proven elusive. New research from a team including Carnegie's Erik Hauri demonstrates that oceanic volcanic rocks contain samples of recycled crust dating back to the Archean era 2.5 billion years ago. Their work is published in Nature.

    Simply ludicrous!
    By the way just to ensure that no one gets any weird/wrong idea out of this I want to clarify beforehand that:
    What I mean by "Simply ludicrous" is the extent these media & Non-Muslims go to tarnish our beautiful religion. Now I am not condoning the fact that it is right for this Muslim woman to do what she is doing but atleast she prays 5 times a day & BELIEVES THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD & THAT IS ALLAH. Moreover, it is ludicrous because it is "okay" (in their eyes) for a Christian/Hindu or any other religious believer to be a Bikini Model but once they hear a Muslim girl is doing it, they have to telecast it, and manipulate the whole thing & hurt the Muslims throughout the world!

    • I am who

      Why do you feel the need to capitalize "there is only one god & that is Allah"? By emphasising that, you make it seem like you are not tolerant of other religions. In case you were wondering, that kind of rhetoric sounds pretty extreme.
      I don't see anything wrong with what she is doing and religion should be interpreted however one feels they want. If she is a faithful muslim but is ok with modeling bikinis then I'm all for it. Frankly, the fact that she is Muslim and is modeling, probably makes her the hottest faithful muslim woman out there.

      Good one joo too bee – and possibly true too! How many stories have we heard of Muslim women who are beaten, stoned, or attacked with acid because they violated some arcane dress code? Too many.

      All intelligent, thinking women should simply LEAVE Islam immediately and let Muslim men worship all by themselves. Let's see how quickly they change their tune once their women abandon them.
