How come i see a lot of my Somali friends in Toronto drinking booze. 2 of them even died of excessive drinking, Mohamed TZ and Mjomba. You come to Toronto and I'll take you to a Bar for Somalis. Then you can work hard to re-educate them. They need that.
Courage
PastorThat is why Islam has taken a strong stand against Alcohol as its effects are disastrous to the society. Prophet Muhammad described it as the "mother of all evils" and it has been confirmed as one of the major social ills facing the world today.Between 1920 and 1930 through the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, the United States banned alcohol due to the massive social evils it was contributing to the nation but the policing mode as expected led to more criminal activities related to alcohol which included detention of thousands of people, destruction of properties and even deaths and as a result the ban was lifted.By contrast, the prohibition of alcohol in Islam came in stages and by the time the final prohibition came, the Arabs who had immersed themselves in alcohol and adored the drink as a form of worship had an easy time abandoning their favourite past time as without any kind of policing, the people themselves poured thousands of litres of alcohol on the streets of Madina.While the world continues with grappling how to solve the problem of alcohol which is responsible for the death of thousands of people every year and a myriad of other social problems, this vice has become one of the least concerns in Muslim societies.Abu Ayman--On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 6:18 PM, Pastor Absalom Birai <prbirai@gmail.com> wrote:
--SEATTLE (AP) — Dennis and Judith Schulte had just arrived in Seattle from the Midwest, a move they made to be near their newborn grandson.
They were killed Monday when a suspected drunken driver slammed into them as they crossed a street during a walk with their grandson and his mother. The crash left the other two family members in critical condition Tuesday.
"They were so elated. This is their only grandchild," said Judith Schulte's sister, Susan Morton.
Morton said the retired Indiana couple was walking with their daughter-in-law, Karina Schulte, and her 10-day-old son when they were stuck.
Mark Mullan, 50, was ordered held Tuesday on $2.5 million bail. He is being held on investigation of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault. Prosecutors have until Thursday to formally charge him.
Karina Schulte "had the baby in a sling on the front. He just hit all four of them," said Morton, of Cottonwood, Minn., in a telephone interview.
A police officer said in court documents that he smelled alcohol on Mullan's breath and that Mullan showed impairment on sobriety tests. A preliminary test showed a breath alcohol level of 0.22, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08, the officer said.
His license was suspended at the time of the crash at an intersection in a residential neighborhood, according to the documents. "He does not have a valid license," said Brad Benfield, a spokesman with the Department of Licensing.
Mullan told police he was unable to see the pedestrians because the sun was in his eyes, according to court documents.
It was unclear Tuesday whether Mullan had legal representation. A message left with an attorney who represented him in a drunken driving case in December was not immediately returned Tuesday.
Mullan didn't answer reporters' questions as police led him away from the crash scene in handcuffs Monday. Police said he stopped after the crash and was cooperative. A phone number listed for Mullan was disconnected.
Morton said Karina Schulte, a 33-year-old from Chile, works as a pediatric nurse specialist and is dedicated to her work.
Dennis, 66, and Judith Schulte, 68, were longtime high school teachers; she taught English and was a head guidance counselor for years, while he taught math.
They had moved to Seattle from Kokomo, Ind., in February to witness the birth of their first grandchild. They had planned to spend six months in Seattle to be near their son's family and were renting an apartment near the intersection where they were killed.
"They wanted to be there when he was born. They got to hold him and be there with him for 10 days," Morton said.
My heart is indeed very sad
