does it matter that Muslims are wasting time developing and selling products that are not evn good for your health? I agree with the last comment about investing money in halal farms…. so many are getting sick and at serious risk buying that non-halal meat and meat by products. I think muslims shoudl dedicate more time to living accorind to their deen… focused on study, religious practice and unity/concensus among the ummah.

we have children that need to be educated, young men and women that need good spousese, households to maintain and alhamduliliah majority muslim nations taht need us to rebuild, rededicate adn reinvest in them….sigh…we can’t afford to walk around in a daze like the others that worship money and movie stars.

What differentiated Qibla Cola from Coca Cola or Pepsi Cola? There have been many alternative cola’s that have been unable to get market traction in the past (e.g. Virgin Cola, which had the marketing mussle of the Virgin Group behind it). Basically why should people choose Qibla Cola over the major players that are already known and liked?

Assalaamu alaikum,

Well, some Arabs like to go to Western countries to make money. Others prefer to live and raise their families in Muslim countries, and some Western Muslims also like to come and work in Muslim countries. So there are many foreigners working in the Gulf, more from Arab countries, but also many from the West and from other parts of the world.

There is probably also a serious brain drain that goes on in the ME and other places. When you can clock (make lots of money) in the Western countries, why wouldnt you?

all are… wrote: “ps: some of the the directors of qibla have previousely gone bankrupt do we see a pattern emerging???????”

It’s all too easy to go bankrupt in business. Those who try to start a new business after having gone bankrupt earlier are to be commended. Other people might be reluctant to try again (once bitten, twice shy), and opt for the easy route of working for someone else. But to get back on the horse again, so to speak, after having been thrown off is a sign of willingness and persistence, and I give credit to those people who do so.

Flanstein - don’t worry about it. DrM is obviously somewhat fixated on bowel movements. ‘Kitty litter’, ‘Fecalstein’, ‘Zionist sewage’ - are there no higher things in life than bodily functions?

Yet phrases like “zionist sewage” are allowed to remain. Typical…

I delete very few comments on the blog; these include spam, insults to Islam and flame wars. In the case of bikhair’s post, it was because it gave publicity to well-known sites I don’t care to give publicity to; in other cases, it’s because they are trolls, insults and flames. I do not pay good money for hosting space so that people can curse each other and bicker like little children. Please, no more flames! You are all adults, aren’t you?
