Your money could go far, by Nizam Fahmi. This was taken during a Palestine-awareness campaign in Newcastle, Australia. The profit from sales were donated to Human Appeal Australia for the Muslims in Palestine.

Dr Mehzabeen b. Ibrahim joined MuslimMatters as a blogger in late 2007 under the handle 'iMuslim', whilst still a struggling grad student. Since then, she has attained a PhD in Molecular Biology and a subsequent Masters in Bioinformatics, and now works as a specialist in this field for a well-known British, medical charity, masha'Allah. Somewhere in between she found the time to get married, alhamdulillah. She likes to dabble in photo and videography, a sample of which can be found on her personal blog: iMuslim.tv.
The first one reminded me of a story in which Imam Johari Abdul Malik went to visit President Clinton with a Kaffiyah. President Clinton said, “Oh wow, this is beautiful – where is it from?” And Imam Johari simply replied, “From Palestine…”
Oh yes, because there are no such thing as nations, tribes, boundaries, etc… we’re all one big homogeneous lump of Muslims, to the extent that a simple flag offends our sensibilities…C’mon! :)
Nationalism is the belief that one nation/race is superior to another. To recognise the reality of geography is hardly nationalism. The person who made the cupcakes was simply decorating them in line with the event: i.e., raising awareness of the occupation of Palestine.

I thought nationalism was against Islam?.. What’s so Islamic about Flags on a cupcake?
