***EDIT: Sunni Path added Palestine to their list since I originally posted this. Alhamdulillah!***
It really bugs me when you find this on an Islamic site. I like SunniPath, but their tuition rates are according to country, and there is no country on the list for me. Never mind, I probably couldn't afford it.
Dar-us-salam's website is kind of funny. There is no Israel on the drop down list....
but there is no choice for someone in the West Bank either! I guess I won't be ordering any books from them. Never mind, I couldn't afford them too.
Once in a while you will find one that has Palestine.
But usually, I just have to choose Jordan. The West Bank used to be part of Jordan, but in 1988 they renounced their claim to it. I have never been to Jordan, but YouTube lists me as being there.
No, I am not trying to hide my age, I just didn't want to be reminded.A lot of the IP locating software has trouble figuring out where I am too. Saudi Stepford Wife has a wigit on her blog that lists where the latest visitors were from. Every time I visit her blog, it says this:

I can't even read the name. Last week Google decided I was in Germany too. It took several tries before I could switch my settings over to English. Now that's a cute drop down list. They list Klingon, Elmer Fudd and Pig Latin as languages! www.iplocatethis.com has me in Germany too.
www.ipligence.com says we're in Nablus. I haven't been to Nablus in 23 years.
www.ip-adress.com says Jericho. I was there for Eid ul Fitr. I wouldn't mind being there at this time of year. It's warmer.
www.seomoz.org decided I am in Israel, although the pointer on the map is on the West Bank side.
No wonder Palestinians can't get a country of their own! Nobody can figure out where we are.

AA- Ajnabiya,
Nice post...one of those where you don't know to laugh or to cry.
When you leave comments for me and I check site meter, it says "Jericho" or "Occupied Territory" Palestine. I always know it's you! :)
wa 'alaikum assalaam brnaeem. Much of life here has me searching for a way to laugh to keep from crying. Thanks for stopping by.
Umm Farouq, I wish I was in Jericho. I'm cold! And they are forcasting snow again in a couple days.
Wow, subhanAllah, it never occurred to me, the location tracker is...well funny's not the word. Odd.
I just checked my site meter and it said " Palestinian Territory, Occupied"
Assalaamu alaikum,
I checked the widget on my blog and it said, "Palestinian Authority". Unspecified city or town though.
Umm Ibrahim
assalamu 'alaykum,
SunniPath has just added Palestine to the registration form. I feel so bad that it was ever missed!
