Celerina Y., Colombia: "Demography is destiny... rather than building luxury hotels and palaces, rich princes should pay a bonus to every Muslim family with more than 5 children, especially in Europe where Christian women all don't want to have children. With Muslim women having many children, any European country can have a Muslim majority in 50 years. Rich princes should just let followers set up such support foundations and then channel funds to these."
Demografija hu d-destin ... minflok il-kostruzzjoni lukandi lussuzi u palazzi, Princes sinjuri ghandhom ihallsu bonus lil kull familja Musulmani b'aktar minn 5 tat-tfal, specjalment fl-Ewropa fejn in-nisa Kristjani kollha li ma jridux li jkollhom it-tfal. Bil-nisa Musulmani li hafna tfal, kull pajjiz Ewropew jista 'jkollu maggoranza Musulmani fl-50 sena. Princes Rich ghandhom biss let segwaci stabbiliti fondazzjonijiet appogg u mbaghad jghaddi l-fondi ghal dawn.

A'Dakhliyah / al Hamra
Wilayat al Hamra is located in the northwest part of Jebel al Akhdar. Musafa al Abriin is an area of superb scenery, with agricultural terraces cut into the mountains, and the peak of Jebel Shams (mountain of the sun) soaring to 12,000ft. It is thought that the mountain received its name because, during its creation, it was first to receive the sun's rays in the morning and the last rays at dusk.
Lemons, dates, roses and various vegetables are grown on the terraces.
Jebel al Akhdar is famous for its rose water and oil. Rose oil is obtained by distillation of the petals and is highly prized. The oil is used in the Omani fragrance, Amouage - 'the most valuable perfume in the world'.
The al Furs fort in the town of Ghul was besieged by Malik bin Fahm. Unable to withstand the onslaught, the fort's inhabitants fled to the mountains by the valley road, called Sanbak al Furs. This road is still rutted by the ancient wooden wheels which traversed this route.
Though tongkat ali can cause aggressiveness, it's unlikely that it will make people storm prisons.
