The doome of the rock would be a good choice perhaps with some olive trees framing it, or the doome of the rock with a dark sky with lights from the surrounding buildings in the background and a half moon in the sky.

Or Quds café written in Arabic calligraphy style but in Latin letters.

Or you could use a logo symbolizing how the three world faiths hold Quds to be important, or some sort of peace logo or an Islamic logo but not with Allah's name on it.

Whatever you choose, Allah yewaf2ek. Sounds like an exciting idea you have here.

Every month you can give away what ur giving away of the profits to a diffirent needing country.

We need more such businesses focused on helping the poor, and not the globalization. And I hate to see companies who throw away large amounts of food when there are homeless people a few blocks away to give it too, this is very common in the West.

i know but sometimes u cant do more that just give money...
here some people wanted to give money to poor people there!i was the only woman lol!so i disagred(la3amash al nisuan lol da2iman bitala3u 3eeleh) coz i told them to develop their money!if u feed people u feed them for 1 day if u find them job is at least for few years...but of course zionists didnt let sth like this to happen so they just gave them as cash money

same with kids, if u want to adopt a kid they dont give u permission so people who adopt kids who live maybe with their granpas pay everything in secret and not through banks...

i think this cafe is a good idea and jazaki allahu kheiran because is a kind of advertising, exposing the problem, that palestine has arabs as well!it might sound funny but lot of people dont know that most of the population are arabs and muslims!some believe that arabs try to steal that land so 3od ba2 la tfahmon!!!shoo faham al 7ameer but anws...

now i started to informe not only about palestine but about kosovo, chechan beacsue nobody know anything about them...so now my researches are for them as well try to find some good material, if u have any idea maybe it can help me...i m still at the beginners stage lol

Well this is just a project while I go through university you know...an alternative to companies that support projects that Muslims should not approve of. I don't even ask for people to settle and get low quality...la2 bil 3akiss, we should show them that we're just as good and we can make industries that support OUR causes and that can compete with theirs.

Modest beginnings...but bi izn Allah it'll grow. Who knows, maybe I'll even branch out bass let's not get ahead of ourselves. Maybe eventually the funds can open hospitals, schools, orphanages and other services in Gaza....then maybe I'll have my degree in urban planning (inshAllah) and build you guys a city from the year 2100 that'll become the base of a new Islamic empire LOL big dreamer....

but for now....

would you like some cream with that ;)

I'll show you guys the design for the logo when I'm done. Yafa, I was thinking something intergrating all 3 religions but I don't want to market it that way. Anyone in support of Palestine, the struggle of people for self-determination, freedom and human rights should be willing to help, be they Muslim or otherwise.

Beteswi 1000000 rijal ya zo2. It's about time our money remain in our own pockets, its completly sick how companies such as mcdonalds are among the biggest food chains in Muslim countries. Why not start our own chains so Muslims can eat and spend there without feeling they have compromized and recieved something less. we need companies that are just as good, if not better. Wallahi it is indeed about time.

Just think about it... Mcdonalds, Burger king, chillies, Pop eyes, Starbucks, Coca Cola, m&m, skittles, Snickers and the list goes on. And now lets be honest, wich chocalata tastes better, snickers or the silly arabic ones with some wafers and coco in it? The Extra gum (with xylitol) or arabic cheewing gums with a 2 second flavour (like 70 percent sugar) and when u find something good then its only a few supermarkets who have it and no one knows what it is cuz the people behind it havent made any marketing for it. Is it really that hard for us to produce quality products so people will choose it over the other ones. There are many who have the means to do it and make the best marketing for it... why dont they? what have they been waiting for.

I have heard a lot of people say, ''if you want me to stop eating at the mac, then give me something like it''.

our children should not love the happy meal, they should love our own meal (fara7 meal). Imagine a british child saying '' mummy can we go to al 7alalis, i want fara7 meal.. Nooooooo i will not go to mcdonals, i want fara7 meal'' LOL,

I believe it is possible cuz it is not any more strange then our kids wanting a happy meal, lak sho be3arrifhon fii aslan, its not like its something their mummy cooks for them at home. its because of the commercials and because it has become part of society, mcdonalds is the funny food. But how does a child raised on kosa ma7shi even know about chicken mcnuggets? its because the mcdonalds feever is everywhere. even the roads have signs telling you how close a mcdonald restaurant is.

We deseperatly need to move forward and stop making the same misstakes, otherwise we will be in the same boat 20 years from now.

its good to dream, at least it keeps the idea alive, the worst thing is the blindness, ya3ne when people dont even realize there is a problem and are happy with the way things are. They dont see the broader picture and dont understand whats going on. It is not about the actual hamburger, its about our dignity.


Anyway, Allah yewaf2ek. Good luck with the logo.
