The Effects Of Alcoholism

Published

on

Drinking Alcohol is prohibited in Islam and other religions. But why does Islam do such a thing? Actually, for many reasons, and in this article, there are enough answers that you need to calm your hearts.

Allah said in the Quran: “O ye who believe! Intoxicants and games 
of chance, and idols and divining arrows are an abomination of Satan’s 
handiwork. Leave it aside so that ye may succeed.” (Chapter V, Verse 9)
“O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks) and gambling, 
and Al-Ansaab, and Al-Azlaam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are
 an abomination to Shaytaan’s (Satan’s) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) 
that (abomination) so that you may be successful” [Al-Maa’idah 5:90]

In the proverb “the prevention is better than cure,” the Quran confirms that Alcohol has benefits, yet it is harmful. Whether you believe it or not, that’s what the Quran states, but the harm outweighs the benefits. So, we can take alcohol in ways that we can be beneficial for medicinal purposes, purifying, and so one.

There are benefits in alcohol, and we cannot deny that fact. But getting hooked on alcohol, being an alcoholic is a graver risk than just using its benefits. Muslims must be obedient to Allah (SWA) and Prophet Mohamed (PUH). We need a reason for everything but that is what the command is, and it’s also a test. Allah gives you gazillion types of drinks, a lot of juices, flavors, many ways to quench your thirst. There are so many choices to follow but only one choice Allah ordered you to stay away from which is drinking alcohol.

The description of different kind of harmful diseases that may inflict the body of Alcohol drinker as follows:

The Brain:

Alcohol has effects on the brain especially the central nervous system, also it may cause brain hemorrhage which may lead to a coma or even death in a worst-case scenario. 

Doctors said that alcohol could affect the sperm cells that may last for three future generations of alcoholics. Alcohol also causes the brain’s delicate neurotransmitters to relay information slower; it also boosts the production of Dopamine which tricks the brain into thinking it’s feeling great. Alcohol also shrinks and disturbs brain tissue, it makes the drinker feel drowsy, suffers from memory loss and lack of motor coordination, and experience sudden mood swings. Over time, this changes the brain’s structure causing heavy drinks to crave more alcohol. Alcohol could also drive you mad, according to medical researches about 80% of all mental patients have been alcohol addictive.

The Liver:

The liver plays an essential role in the body’s metabolic processes. After drinking alcohol, the liver must metabolize and convert it into a safe substance. However, it could only handle a certain amount of alcohol at once before it’s struggled to processing. Alcohol Metabolization produces acetaldehyde, a toxic enzyme, that damages the liver cells and leads to permanent scarring.

When we consume heavy regular doses of alcohol can lead to fatty liver disease. Which in most cases has no symptoms but can at least cause inflammation, abdominal pain, confusion, fatigue, and weakness. Alcohol abuse can also lead to hepatitis. Anywhere from 10% to 35% of heavy drinkers will develop alcoholic hepatitis. 

But still quitting alcohol and seeking treatment may reverse the disease. But when the problem is severe, it can lead to jaundice, stomach aches, fever nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss, complication can even cause cancer. Fortunately, someone with alcoholic fatty liver or mild alcoholic hepatitis who stops drinking can typically recover fully though in severe cases of liver damage a transplant may be the only treatment option.

The stomach:

Alcohol is an acidic material, ethyl alcohol that people drink is supposed to formulate an acidic reaction in the stomach. Barely, we see a stomachache happening in somebody who’s taken alcohol for the first or the second time or in small quantities. If you have taken alcohol repeatedly and in larger volumes, the stomach is not able to control the acidity, and the inner lining of the stomach becomes swollen which causes the stomachache. In homeopathy, there is a particular medicine by the name acetic acid which is responsible for looking after this disorder. You must consult your doctor and also the best thing to do away with alcohol as everybody knows is having lemon after they’ve had alcohol so the ache will go down and the symptoms will also become better because of vitamin c.

The Heart: 

Some heart surgeons said that drinking alcohol may benefit the heart in a way or another, but overall, even minimal alcohol may still damage your heart. That means cutting alcohol intake benefits your heart health. 

The Kidneys:

Kidneys come in pairs. Shaped like a red kidney bean. They’re about 5 inches long, 3 inches wide, and position one on either side of your spine. Actually if you but your hands on your hips with your thumbs on your back and move your hands upwards until you touch your ribs and press your thumbs into your back at that point, that’s generally where your kidneys are. You won’t be able to feel them, but that’s where they are.

 The basic job of your kidneys is to clean your blood of a lot of the waste that goes in. also the nutrients basically into your body, there’s a lot of chemical reactions that take place and produce a lot of waste, anything that your body just doesn’t need, or got enough of it. There is about a gallon and a half of going throw your system any one time, that’s the average person and your kidney will go through that about 400 times a day. So while the blood passes throw your kidneys and it’s filtered by about a million of these tiny little microscopic filters called nephrons, once it passes throw them it’s combined with the waste and water and passes throw a tube called ureter to come out of your body.

Kidneys are responsible for homeostasis

 Another job that your kidneys are responsible for homeostasis that balancing minerals and water in your body. They say that if you put the amount of water that you take into on one side of the scale and the amount of water that you passing out of your body on the other side of the scale, both sides should balance equally, and that’s where alcohol comes in and does some damage. 

In the normal function of the body, water will come out in different ways when you sweat or when you breathe.

Alcohol is absolutely not good for the kidneys and it can cause all sorts of wild fluctuations in the water supply in your body throw the diuretic effect of alcohol, and it can also affect your kidneys more than diabetes. Diabetes is the number one reason for kidney failure and it can be the cause of high blood pressure which is the second-highest reason for kidney failure. Again, alcohol is a bad thing to putting inside your body. It’s a toxin. The soon you give it up the better. 

Society:

When you check alcohol on any website most of the articles say that alcohol is the mother of all of the evil deeds, you’ll find out how many people have been addicted to it, how much they suffered in the whole life, how much is broken families have come through, and how many people died from alcoholism from driving and killing and so on. Many statistics go against alcoholism.

Now, if you or a loved one struggle with alcoholism, talk to a doctor today at any addiction treatment center, and get the help you need before it’s too late.

Jewish Nazism is reality not fiction

Published

Jewish Nazism

I realize that the title of this article might offend and provoke many people, especially those adhering to the Judaic faith. I do know that Jews, like everyone else, are not carbon copies of each other. There are many conscientious Jews who believe in fairness and basic human equality regardless of color, race and faith, and strongly reject racism and chauvinism in any form. Also, I will no longer be using euphemistic language in reference to Jewish Nazism especially in light of the latest Dresden-like bombing of Gaza by the Judeo-Nazi state also known as Israel.

Read Also: No forgiveness for Jewish Nazism

These people I salute for their rectitude, humanity and morality. They are our natural partners for peace and a better tomorrow for our children and their children.

But there are numerous other Jews who don’t believe in human equality and justice for all. Indeed, there are many Jews, e.g. followers of the hateful Chabad sect, who don’t even ascribe full humanity to people who are not members of the Jewish faith.

Needless to say, the venomous ideology adopted by these racist fanatics has much in common with Aryan Nazism.

Read Also: The futility of counting on the U.S. to pressure Israel

What else can be said to describe an ideology that teaches adherents that the life of a non-Jew has no sanctity and that goyem can be murdered without the slightest compunction or feeling of guilt?

The shocking reactions by the Israeli government, rabbis, and community leaders to the latest abduction, murder and subsequent burning of a Palestinian kids in Gaza are very telling.

In a certain sense, these reactions and attitudes can be compared to the reactions and attitudes of many Germans to the pogroms carried out against Jews by the Nazis prior to and during the Second World War.

The gleefully despicable embrace of the brashly hideous crime by the bulk of the Israeli Jewish society underscores the fact that millions of Jews in Israel and abroad do harbor certain Nazi tendencies, especially against the Palestinian people. These tendencies are too real and too tangible to be overstated.

However, we must call the spade a spade, even at the expense of upsetting the huge Zionist propaganda machine which habitually alters the black into white and the blatant big lie into a “truth” glorified by sheepish westerners who have long been brainwashed into believing that Israel is a modern, civilized and democratic state.

In the final analysis, when Jews (or anyone else) think, behave and act like the Nazis thought, behaved and acted, they simply become Nazis. Pure and simple.

Today, there are numerous Jews who openly call for the physical annihilation of Palestinians as retaliation for the abduction and killing of three Jewish settlers in the West Bank.

Saber-rattling rabbis speak menacingly of the need to adopt “the Biblical way” to combat the Palestinians.

For those not versed in Jewish phraseology, “Biblical way” is euphemism for genocide.

Today, the Israeli media reported that some army personnel openly appealed to the government to “give us the green light to annihilate them.”!!!

Just read what thousands of Jewish youths have been writing on their Facebook pages! It is outrageous, disgusting and sheer evil.

To put it in a nutshell, Nazism is being regurgitated and exuded all over Israel. This is happening in broad daylight while professional liars like Binyamin Netanyahu are filling the ether with all sorts of shameless lies about Israel being victimized by the Palestinians.

Seventy-six years have passed since Kristalnacht. Today Jewish settlers in the west Bank, in close cooperation and coordination, with the Israeli army could very well carry out a huge pogrom against an innocent and helpless community which really finds itself very much in the same precarious and vulnerable position that European Jewry experienced prior to WWII.

I am not a prophet of doom and gloom, but the signs are unmistakably bleak.

A final point, the Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are surviving thanks to the good-will of the international public opinion. Should the international community go into a brief slumber, God forbid, Israel and its own Wehrmacht, SS, Gestapo and Hitler Youth might embark on the unthinkable. Don’t you ever say Jews can’t carry out a holocaust against their victims, the Palestinians?

Words can kill; words do kill.

Unfortunately, the chilling words we are hearing from many Israeli Jews these days leave no room for optimism.

I’m most definitely Palestinian!

Palestinian

In-your-face brutality, unending genocide, unending atrocities, mass slaughter directed against one’s people, one’s brethren, causes the most strong and unimaginable reaction, in response to the oppressor’s horrendous and barbaric deeds. The autocratic, despotic, tyrannical Israeli-hand systematically and with pre-planned engineered precision, massacres, annihilates, eliminates the young and the old Palestinian alike – in the most inhumane and most despicable of ways. Slaughters men, women and children in broad daylight. Bares its blood-thirsty intentions, its monstrous objectives in the most unashamed of ways. Mercy to none – not to the living, not to the severely wounded and dying; no mercy even on the dead or their lifeless remains.

The constant fear of being bombed anytime, rained down with missiles and all manner of munitions from within the vast arsenal of the Israeli side; definitely stockpiled high, with enough buffer inventory of munitions, deadly and lethal stockpile, to blow the receiving side multiple times over; so as not to leave a “shred” of evidence of your original physical-self on the surface of the land, which your people, generations and generations of your ancestors, since time immemorial have dwelt on.

Read Also: The age-old Palestinian-fear (of the Israeli thirst)

The inexplicable terror of seeing Israeli drones constantly “floating about” unopposed, in the skies above your unsheltered head. Drones with eyes like that of a greedy dog. Electronic pixels wanting to cast an evil eye, an evil-spell upon your very being. Eyeing upon your existence, wanting to blow-up, tear-up your physical being, seemingly wanting to devour your flesh and body; all by way of a few computer clicks / even the manual computer-clicks now, seemingly, are being replaced by more automated ways of executing these most evil deeds. Software, coded software, written programs to execute on the most Evil-intentions. Evil-intentions of the most evil amongst the human race.

Everybody knows, the Israelis have exterminated with their weaponry, uncountable numbers of Palestinians across a 40, 50km stretch of land, in front of the whole world, over the past so many weeks and months. And retain the capacity, the ability, the power, the means to slaughter, devour many, many more innocent ones, day in, day out.

The Israelis possess American technology, American weapons – the bedrock of their faith, the foundation stone of their belief in their never-ending invincibility. The Palestinians have their faith in Allah; that Allah will redeem his faithful people, from the clutches of these war-mongers, who rain down terror, day and night on the most innocent, the most vulnerable.

Most definitely, the Moslem spirit in me, the Palestinian spirit in me is not defeated; quite to the contrary, it’s rekindled, stronger than ever.

I’m definitely Palestinian, in every sense of the word, and Allah will save us, Allah will have mercy on us, Allah will guide us.

The futility of counting on the U.S. to pressure Israel

Published

on

It is really ludicrous to see how dishonest the U.S “mediators” constantly demand that the Palestinians display more “good will” toward Israel at a time when Israel continues to perpetrate a real Holocaust against the hapless and helpless Palestinaians and steal Palestinian land in broad daylight.

It seems amply clear that the current Palestinian leadership, i.e. the Palestinian Authority (PA)  led by Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, neither learns from its own blunders nor from other people’s blunders. This is really a gigantic disaster befalling the Palestinian people and their enduring just cause.

How else can one relate to the unrelenting illogical insistence of the the whole world on accepting the U.S., Israel’s guardian-ally, as “mediator and honest broker” between us and our murderous tormentors and grave-diggers, Israel?

Indeed, one doesn’t have to be an expert on American foreign policy in the Middle East to know that the U.S represents the problem, not the solution, given its long-standing embrace of Israeli fascism and expansion.  After all, it is the US that not only enabled Israel to actively pursue its lebensraum policy at the expense of its neighbors but consistently shield it from any accountability or international condemnation.

Today, the U.S. administration is criticizing Palestinian “unilateralism” in reference to desperate PA efforts to get the UN Security Council to recognize Palestinian statehood and agree on a deadline for ending Israel’s Nazi-like occupation.

Well, we all know that the U.S. is being pornographically hypocritical when it accuses the virtually vanquished Palestinians of acting unilaterally as if its spoilt nefarious daughter, Israel, were ever acting in full conformity with international law.

Well, Mr. Abbas and Mr. Ereikat: Don’t be too gullible, too sheepish. Ask your American interlocutors, e.g. Mr. John Kerry, the following questions:

Since when did Israel ever behave bilaterally rather than unilaterally?

Was the usurpation of Palestine and expulsion of its indigenous people at the hands of Jewish terrorist gangs hailing from Eastern Europe, a bilateral or unilateral act?

Was the annexation by Israel of East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights a bilateral or a unilateral act?

Was the building of hundreds of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as well as the transfer of 600,000 Jewish settlers to live on a land that belongs not to them a bilateral or unilateral act?

Was the wanton demolition of some 30,000 Palestinian homes by Israel a bilateral or a unilateral act?

Was the annexation of the bulk of the West Bank and East Jerusalem a bilateral or a unilateral act?

And what about this ugly structure, called Separation wall, which resulted in the theft of thousands of acres of private Palestinian land? Was it a bilateral or a unilateral act?

I could go on and on and on listing America’s hypocritical and duplicitous stands on Palestinian grievances and Israeli crimes. Indeed, the U.S dishonest stand on the Palestinian plight has only been consistent in its moral depravity. Indeed, hypocrisy in its most brazen form has always been and continues to be the modus operandi of American policy toward the Palestinian issue. I know it is politically incorrect to speak in this tone. However, truth must not be another victim of the dark evil embrace between the U.S. and Israel.

But morality is not and has never been part of American politics or policies, especially foreign policy. This is why the world looks so ugly, so gloomy and so unjust.

The U.S. is insisting that only a “negotiated” settlement to the Palestinian issue would be acceptable to the U.S.

In other words, Israel must always have the final say as to any possible peace deal with the Palestinians.

But since Israel would never ever end its occupation or dismantle the settlements, let alone allow for the repatriation of the refugees, it means there can be no negotiated settlement unless the Palestinians agree to surrender to Jewish Nazism. But that will never happen as Muslims, including the Palestinian people, would never allow the Ramallah leadership or any other leadership to commit adultery with the honorable Palestinian cause.

Let’s be honest. The purportedly honest American broker or mediator is neither honest nor a broker or mediator. The proverbial American judge is simply telling the insolent rapist (Israel) and the vanquished rape victim (the Palestinians) to sort it out amongst yourselves. Do we have to be the smartest humans on earth to understand the implications of this brutal ugliness?

It is tantamount to a total American embrace of Israeli fascism. It means that the American stance is actually Israel’s stance. It also means that that the U.S. would never accept or condone any settlement that Israel doesn’t accept.

That is why the Palestinians need to have a moment of truth with themselves.
And the message they need to internalize is that they would have to wait ages if they continued to put their trust in the U.S. to pressure Israel to walk in the path of peace.

Let us face it. Israel will never walk in the path of peace unless it is pressured and bullied to do so. However, Israel would never ever walk in the path of peace as long as it continues to receive nuclear submarines from Germany and the most advanced fighter jets from the U.S.

In a nut shell, America can’t and won’t exert any meaningful pressure on Israel to end its N-a-z-i-like occupation. We all know that Israel controls the American government or at least controls those who control the American government. Israel is intoxicated by its arrogance of power and Talmudic insolence. And the U.S., Israel’s guardian-ally, is not in a position to be an honest mediator and to impose a deal on Israel or even convince her to allow for one that would give the Palestinian a semblance of justice.

What should be done?

We must go ahead with our efforts at the U.N. Security Council, irrespective of American threats to veto any resolution favorable to the Palestinian cause. At least casting the veto would embarrass America itself and its treacherous Arab allies (they are not actually allies but cheap slaves and puppets as we all know).

We Palestinians must be confident of our inevitable triumph over Zionism and its evils. Yes, it may take time, but eventually Zionism won’t live forever in a sea where hundreds of millions live.
