آمل أن يعلو صوتي على صوت الموت .. لتصل رسالتي ...

It's one of those videos that simply make you wonder, that gives you goosebumps. A couple of days ago, a teenager by the name of Youssef Salem released a video of him playing and singing a song dedicated to his mother while bombs are heard in the background.
For many non-Muslims, “Allahu Akbar,” or God is Great has become synonymous with radicalism, brutal murders, rape, and even cannibalism committed in the name of Islam. It is hardly surprising, as the Islamic slogan has been repeatedly used and abused by anyone who wants to justify his or her crimes by adding the wrap of Islamic religiosity.

At least 86 people fell ill after eating at one of two restaurants within the Holiday Inn Bordeaux in Fayetteville, N.C., as of Friday, according to Cumberland County Department of Public Health Director Buck Wilson. That number is up from 70 cases counted on Monday.
Seven of the patients have tested positive for Salmonella in laboratory cultures, Wilson told Food Safety News.
The hotel has two restaurants inside, the All American Sports Bar and Grill and the Café Bordeaux, both of which appear to be connected to the outbreak.
State and county health investigators are still working with the Holiday Inn to investigate the source of the outbreak. The county health department anticipates releasing a report on their findings shortly.

A New Beginning for Jack
By Shannon Sullivan
Jack is a very affectionate dog who was brought to the Amazon CARES clinic in April. The young man who brought Jack in was concerned because the dog was injured, and he claimed that the dog’s owner (the young man’s neighbor) did not have the resources to seek medical care for him. After assessing Jack’s injury, it was determined that his left hind limb had to be amputated.
A very happy Jack after surgery.
When Jack was coming out of the operating room, it was realized that the young man had disappeared. Whether the story the young man originally told about Jack belonging to his neighbor is true or not, we’ll never know. Jack was abandoned at our clinic and is now being cared for by Amazon CARES. Since his surgery last month, Jack has become the clinic’s mascot; he is always with the staff, receiving love and attention from the team and clients. We hope to find him a permanent, loving home soon!
Jack will make a wonderful addition to any family!
Julian Dawkins, 22, was shot in Alexandria, Va., early Wednesday morning, and authorities say a 17-year veteran of the Arlington County Sheriff’s office may be responsible. Dawkins left a family gathering after 9 p.m. and walked down the street, where he got into an argument with Craig Patterson, who was off-duty. The Commonwealth’s Attorney said the fact that Patterson is a law enforcement officer doesn’t influence whether he is charged in the shooting. Dawkins worked at the PBS NewsHour as a driver.
A young woman who was shot during a Wednesday night gun battle in Renton, Wash., has died of her injuries. Officers called to the scene found a 20-year-old woman with a single gunshot wound to the abdomen. They later learned that a fistfight had started between two women and their respective groups of friends began shooting at each other. The victim was a bystander.
