"Why aren't you married, Master?" a disciple once asked Nasruddin.
Nasruddin replied, "All my life I was looking for a perfect woman."
The young man shook his head and sighed with sympathy, "I guess you haven't found one
yet."
"No, actually a few years ago I met a woman who was perfect in every way," said Nasruddin.
"She was kind, beautiful and intelligent. Unfortunately, she was looking for a perfect man."

Aliens in America
I caught this monday a new show called Aliens in America. it is about a Boy from pakistan who comes to America as an exchange student. The episode i saw was very nice, funny. now i have only seen one episode, so if anyone has some comments on this show would apperciate it. if you haven't scene the show here is the official info from CW .
Justin Tolchuck (Dan Byrd, "The Hills Have Eyes") is a sensitive, lanky 16-year old just trying to make it through the social nightmare of high school in Medora, Wisconsin, with the help of his well-meaning mom Franny (Amy Pietz, "Caroline in the City"), aspiring-entrepreneur dad Gary (Scott Patterson, "Gilmore Girls") and his beautiful and popular younger sister Claire (Lindsey Shaw, "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide"). Although he's bright and funny, Justin is also shy, socially awkward and pretty much resigned to the fact that he'll never be one of the cool kids. Franny, however, is the kind of take-charge mom who micro-manages her family, and she's come up with a plan to help Justin: she signs up for the school's international exchange student program. Picturing an athletic, brilliant Nordic teen, Franny is sure this new friendship will bestow instant coolness on her outsider son. However, when the Tolchuck's exchange student arrives, he turns out to be Raja Musharaff (Adhir Kalyan, "Fair City"), a 16-year-old Muslim from a small village in Pakistan. Raja is thoughtful, responsible and wise beyond his years. To the Tolchucks and everyone else in Medora, he's also just about as foreign as a foreigner can be. While the rest of the family is slightly freaked out by the Muslim in their midst, Gary is comforted by the fact that the host family receives a monthly check to help with expenses. This fits right in with Gary's money-making schemes, and when he sees how hard-working and respectful Raja is, he's totally on board. As for Claire, she's too busy with her friends and her new boyfriend to pay much attention to their houseguest, but Raja is smitten from the moment he first sees her. After the initial shock wears off, Justin is quickly won over by Raja's humor, gestures of friendship and by their common status as outsiders. Despite the cultural chasm between them, Justin and Raja develop an unlikely bond that just might allow them to navigate the minefield that is contemporary high school. It's going to be a very interesting year for Raja, Justin, his family and the entire population of Medora.

Fastest group
In listening to a recent lecture by a "Islamic Scholar" who went through and declared this group and that sect heretics and Non-muslims I can only state that it would seem that as Muslims we are the fastest shrinking religion in the world.
