Habib, My daughter sends me some of them, and others i get from friends. I fasted today and intend to do so tomorrow inshallah. Please remember the Ummah in your duaa. G.W thinks he has might, but his might came from Allah (SWT) whose might is umatched, and he will protect this ummah against the arrogance of the likes of Bush.
