    Janis Joplin

    What is the great thing in Janis Joplin voice to make her a musical icon from 1960s till now ??

    seriously I am listening now to a song on Yahoo! Launch cast radio in the Big hits of 1960s and this woman came to provoke me with her voice !!

    Her voice is not good at all , come on without knowing her tragic end ,I know immediately that she took drugs 

    Strangely if you look  to her pictures you will wonder from where that terrible disturbing voice coming from !!??

    1960s were so strange

    One year

    One year today has passed away

    One year ago I lost my grand father ,my real father

    really It was a very long year and a hard one for me ,many say that it went fast but for many it was a very long year

    Really I never expected the void his absence would make

    Really I never imagined that everything he said turned to be right

    May Allah bless your soul

    Please read the Fataha for my grand father

    Please if you are not Muslim then mention him in your prayer

    Taher is one of the most important painters Egypt knew in the modern time , he was an excellent painter may Allah bless his soul.He was very talented , he was very famous for his protaits which were very beautiful. His painting ,the original paintings are very expensvie . He had over 1000 painting in his long life

    This is MOHAMMAD

    This is a wonderful interactive site is one of the best sites I have seen about Prophet Mohammad "PBUH"

    Made by Islamway.net ,the Website is translated in to several languages like English,French,Spanish ,Russian and other important languages in the World

    It is very important to Muslims to spread such website in order to help to correct the image of Islam and Prophet Mohammad outside the Muslim world

    In fact it is a duty of Muslims to do so  as long as they have the opportunity to do so
