It's all politics

No, I am not going to discuss about the endless drama that is the actors are those in tudung tak cukup kain nak cover jambul kat depan but the international ignorance of giving aids to those who are in need. A program in a news network questions the aids given by the US where terrorism was widespread. So, the idea is that it is okay to let more hungry people die when there are terrorists who would have killed them anyway? Nice, job rich West nations!

Steve Jobs' death focused all homo sapien's attention to him. He was rich. He was influential.

It is not one, but thousands of Somalians die every day (even today!) and there is none of their stories featured on the front page of newspapers today while Steve Jobs' biography still tops the booksellers list.

I wonder where on earth the so-called human right activists in Malaysia who championed the Seksualiti Merdeka gone to defend these Somalians to have 'basic human rights to food and water'? Isn't that one of the most important human rights too? 

Getting access to food and water is more important than the freedom to go outside and show your queer without fear I would say. 

Or do you just care about sex? Based on what you are not doing now, I think you are. It's a sex nation.

Why not make an assembly to alert the Malaysians about this situation? I know you won't because this is neither about Cleaning the Politics or Sex Freedom. No one will come. 

Well Mrs. MM, that is why you must go back to the reasons explained in the Al-Quran. My father said 'when people are so smart but forgot to refer to Al-Quran, they will feel they are in greater knowledge of the world than the Al-Quran'.-The Chukai Insider

No wonder they see us as hypocrites

If you happen to read  The Star on 24th July 2010, you can see how some stupid Muslims react in Malaysia to some religious issues. We do not have to graduate high schools to say that they are Malays, who just react with plain stupidity to confront them. It is not I am saying all of them are, but please make yourselves sound smarter when giving reasons or making judgements. It is about the Manchester United jerseys that features a devil. Not that I am saying it is wrong for them because they put their football jerseys first before their believe (as I myself not a perfect Muslim or ma'sum), but how wrong it is to pretend that you care about your religion.

To quote the report by The Star,

“What am I going to do with all my Manchester United jerseys? And my sons’ jerseys?” said a Twitter user.

Aren't they stupid? If you are a Muslim and you are saying "No, they are not stupid,"perhaps you should know what stupidity means. Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary states that the term 'stupidity' means 'behaviour that shows a lack of thought or good judgement'. If you still say "No, they are not stupid," that means you are part of the Stupid Muslims League of Malaysia ( there is no such thing though). Yes, we are entitled to our own opinion in this country, so I am entitled to mine. So, if you think I am wrong, please give your comments.

Let me remind you, we do live in a country where conservatism is still strong but the liberalisms has vocal opinions. However, the statements given does not have intellectual values to be labelled neither conservative nor liberal. I could think of just another category which is Stupiditism.

To quote the report again,

There is no “religious ban” on Manchester United jerseys despite statements by several prominent Islamic scholars urging Muslims not to don the Premier League club’s shirts because the emblem features a devil.

Perak mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria said jerseys with devils, crosses or skulls promoted the wrong values for Muslims but that did not mean they should be banned.

“A fatwa on the matter is not necessary as it is clearly wrong for Muslims to wear shirts with devils and other unIslamic symbols because it is against the teachings of Islam,” he said yesterday.

Apart from Manchester United, which is also known as The Red Devils, other football teams whose crests carry images deemed unIslamic like the cross are Brazil, Portu gal, Serbia, Barcelona and Norway.

“In Islam, Satan is our enemy ... but I believe Satan is also an enemy of the non-Muslims.

Being a hypocrite to show that you are a good Muslim will not help yourselves to make others believe in you. We all make mistakes and do regular sins everyday, but never make stupid reactions/statements to defend your sincerity to your football club or artists in other cases.

I am not an anti-football fans, but an anti-stupid reasons. I do like football occasionally, especially when the last fever we had less than a month ago. As the mufti said, it is already wrong to wear them and so if you believe that you are a good Muslim, or wants to be one, refrain yourselves from doing so. However, never pretend that you are but at the same time doing it. It is your rights ( that's what the Western Orientalist s  say), but remember not to give your own red card to your own beliefs. Perhaps you will realise someday, it is not Wayne Rooney or Park Ji Sung that will carry your casket to the graveyard, and it is too late. Let us all pray that this will not happen  in the future and that all of our lives will be blessed by Allah. I also pray that this will not happen to all of us as well. Amin. Full report from The Star here.

SCHOOL DEBATERS VS POLITICIANS

In inter-school parliamentary debate competition, it is very interesting to see the debaters are more well-mannered, civilized and brilliant then our politicians in the Parliament of Malaysia. It is an excellent activity for the students to generate ideas and give their views on issues that matter in a very systematic way. A big credit should go to Ministry of Education for providing platforms for students to develop their thinking and communication skills. It is very often to see that the debates are fiery and filled with cynical anecdotes from both sides of the tables.

Unfortunately, in the Parliament itself, the politicians are debating about how the Prime Minister got his ideas of 1Malaysia from an Israeli-based company. Well, I think it is a big matter for the politicians to discuss that particular issues because they drive BMWs and have castle-like bungalows! The Rakyat will never care about those superficial matters. Subsidies, economics reform, education and social integration are all the things that matter to us.
