Muslim clerics of the world’s largest Muslim population holding country Indonesia have gave their rulings regarding the use of the world’s most favorite social networking website, the Facebook. On Friday, they announced that it was allowed for the Muslim brothers and sisters to use Facebook if the reason was work or communication with family and friends. Otherwise, if they use it for gossiping and flirting, the use of this network becomes Haraam (or forbidden).
Islam sees the human as a constructive minded creature; thus all the things that are included in waste of time or time pass are not liked. Allah Almighty demands productive and positive steps from the human, and this is why things like games, movies, dramas, stories etc are not adored by the religion Islam. Thus, the Ulemah of Indonesia stated that if people use Facebook to interact with their close relatives or pals, there is nothing bad in it; but when it comes to wastage of time, Islam does not recommend it.

In a new, surprising “give and take policy” type of a campaign, fans of the popular horror movie series “Saw” are participating in a blood drive across the USA, where they’re being invited to give blood, in order to get returns from the next sequel in the Saw series.
Less than a week before the Halloween night, Saw IV, the latest sequel of one of the most successful horror movies in Hollywood, opens to public across cinema theatres nationwide this Friday. However, if you thought people were giving blood for no reason, think again. Lionsgate Film Studio, the makers of the movie series, is running a blood drive, and for a good cause, that of blood donations across the country. This also gives them enough opportunity for the promotion of the movie.
This year’s target for blood donation is 60,000 pints, more than twice what was collected last year in the “Give ‘Til it Hurts” drive. The amount of blood collected then was 23,500 pints. Targets are set so high now, as Yahoo! and the American Red Cross have joined hands with Lionsgate to take the drive and the cause to the entire nation.
