Tom Friedman had an especially fatuous column in Sunday’s New York Times, which is saying something given his well-established capacity for smug self-assurance. According to Friedman, the big challenge we face in the Arab and Islamic world is “the Narrative” — his patronizing term for Muslim views about America’s supposedly negative role in the region. If Muslims weren’t so irrational, he thinks, they would recognize that “U.S. foreign policy has been largely dedicated to rescuing Muslims or trying to help free them from tyranny.” He concedes that we made a few mistakes here and there (such as at Abu Ghraib), but the real problem is all those anti-American fairy tales that Muslims tell each other to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions.

I heard a different take on this subject at a recent conference on U.S. relations with the Islamic world. In addition to hearing a diverse set of views from different Islamic countries, one of the other participants (a prominent English journalist) put it quite simply. “If the United States wants to improve its image in the Islamic world,” he said, “it should stop killing Muslims.”

Now I don’t think the issue is quite that simple, but the comment got me thinking: How many Muslims has the United States killed in the past thirty years, and how many Americans have been killed by Muslims? Coming up with a precise answer to this question is probably impossible, but it is also not necessary, because the rough numbers are so clearly lopsided.

Here’s my back-of-the-envelope analysis, based on estimates deliberately chosen to favor the United States. Specifically, I have taken the low estimates of Muslim fatalities, along with much more reliable figures for U.S. deaths.

To repeat: I have deliberately selected “low-end” estimates for Muslim fatalities, so these figures present the “best case” for the United States. Even so, the United States has killed nearly 30 Muslims for every American lost. The real ratio is probably much higher, and a reasonable upper bound for Muslim fatalities (based mostly on higher estimates of “excess deaths” in Iraq due to the sanctions regime and the post-2003 occupation) is well over one million, equivalent to over 100 Muslim fatalities for every American lost.

Figures like these should be used with caution, of course, and several obvious caveats apply. To begin with, the United States is not solely responsible for some of those fatalities, most notably in the case of the “excess deaths” attributable to the U.N. sanctions regime against Iraq. Saddam Hussein clearly deserves much of the blame for these “excess deaths,” insofar as he could have complied with Security Council resolutions and gotten the sanctions lifted or used the “oil for food” problem properly. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the United States (and the other SC members) knew that keeping the sanctions in place would cause tens of thousands of innocent people to die and we went ahead anyway.

Similarly, the United States is not solely to blame for the sectarian violence that engulfed Iraq after the 2003 invasion. U.S. forces killed many Iraqis, to be sure, but plenty of Shiites, Kurds, Sunnis, and foreign infiltrators were pulling triggers and planting bombs too. Yet it is still the case that the United States invaded a country that had not attacked us, dismantled its regime, and took hardly any precautions to prevent the (predictable) outbreak of violence. Having uncapped the volcano, we are hardly blameless, and that goes for pundits like Friedman who enthusiastically endorsed the original invasion.

Third, the fact that people died as a result of certain U.S. actions does not by itself mean that those policy decisions were wrong. I’m a realist, and I accept the unfortunate fact that international politics is a rough business and sometimes innocent people die as a result of actions that may in fact be justifiable. For example, I don’t think it was wrong to expel Iraq from Kuwait in 1991 or to topple the Taliban in 2001. Nor do I think it was wrong to try to catch Bin Laden — even though people died in the attempt — and I would support similar efforts to capture him today even if it placed more people at risk. In other words, a full assessment of U.S. policy would have to weigh these regrettable costs against the alleged benefits to the United States itself or the international community as a whole.

Yet if you really want to know “why they hate us,” the numbers presented above cannot be ignored. Even if we view these figures with skepticism and discount the numbers a lot, the fact remains that the United States has killed a very large number of Arab or Muslim individuals over the past three decades. Even though we had just cause and the right intentions in some cases (as in the first Gulf War), our actions were indefensible (maybe even criminal) in others.

It is also striking to observe that virtually all of the Muslim deaths were the direct or indirect consequence of official U.S. government policy. By contrast, most of the Americans killed by Muslims were the victims of non-state terrorist groups such as al Qaeda or the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. Americans should also bear in mind that the figures reported above omit the Arabs and Muslims killed by Israel in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank. Given our generous and unconditional support for Israel’s policy towards the Arab world in general and the Palestinians in particular, Muslims rightly hold us partly responsible for those victims too.

Contrary to what Friedman thinks, our real problem isn’t a fictitious Muslim “narrative” about America’s role in the region; it is mostly the actual things we have been doing in recent years. To say that in no way justifies anti-American terrorism or absolves other societies of responsibility for their own mistakes or misdeeds. But the self-righteousness on display in Friedman’s op-ed isn’t just simplistic; it is actively harmful. Why? Because whitewashing our own misconduct makes it harder for Americans to figure out why their country is so unpopular and makes us less likely to consider different (and more effective) approaches.

Some degree of anti-Americanism may reflect ideology, distorted history, or a foreign government’s attempt to shift blame onto others (a practice that all governments indulge in), but a lot of it is the inevitable result of policies that the American people have supported in the past. When you kill tens of thousands of people in other countries — and sometimes for no good reason — you shouldn’t be surprised when people in those countries are enraged by this behavior and interested in revenge. After all, how did we react after September 11?

Why?

srizals@gmail.com

Why I like to take other's writing or point of view and put them in my blog?

1. They are too beautiful for me to paraphrase or to quote them in pieces.

2. I'm afraid if I would loose them from my HDD in case my security was breached again.

3. To show to the world that not everyone is crazy despite being one of the community they were born in.

4. Al Quran n Al Hadith are way beyond my league. I need the help from the true scholars of Islam, the ones that feared Allah more than any man could.

5. To emphasis the diversity and richness of knowledge that we have in this world.

6. To show that everyone has access to information n knowledge at their fingertips and hope that they won't be a passive receiver.

7. To appeal silently to my readers so that they won't be bias and only listening to one side of the story.

Thank you for your understanding.

Why Did U Do It Anyway?

The Matrix, Neo and the Construct really made me think why I am here and the meaning and interpretations of life and death. The rhythm when Neo was practising with Morpheous and engaging his arch adversary really are inspiring.

If U asked a liar, why did or do U lie? He would answer back with another lie, well, it's the nature of liars. They would not tell the truth. It is not their nature. And like vampires to garlic, they are allergic to the truth. Yes, just like the dark seekers.

If U asked a killer, what do they felt when taking another person's life? They would say they felt like god! N this is what make them worthy of the punishment of the dreaded fire of hells that would burn their skins forever n ever, unless they have the slightest faith in Allah. The heart that conceal the faith won't get burn. The deadly fire of them all would never penetrates the heart in which the faith in Allah reside.

If U asked Madoff, was it worthed? He would say yes, for being able to subdue the Goyyims and the stupid Zionist for thinking that they were the smartest of them all. You see, Madoff can't escape his nature, just like Pablo Escobar of the illegal wildlife trade in the lands of the Malay, no he's not a Malay. He's an unConfucious Chinese! The luxurious life is so tempting that it was his only basis of comparison of the good and the bad. It's that simple. So U see, no one would get what they don't deserve. Hell is the final reward for those who thinks that they were gods and could get away with just about anything in this temporary lives of ours.

Satan: The Reason

The Heights
With the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Very-Merciful.
[7:1]
Alif, Lām, Mīm, Sād.

[7:2]
(This is) a book sent down to you. Therefore, your heart must not be straitened because of it. (It is revealed to you) so that you may warn through it, and it may be an advice for the believers.

[7:3]
(O humankind,) follow what has been sent down to you from your Lord, and do not follow any masters other than Him. Little you heed to advice!

[7:4]
How many a town We have destroyed! Our punishment came upon them at night or when they were having a nap at midday.

[7:5]
So, when Our punishment came upon them, they could say nothing but cry, “We were wrongdoers indeed.”

[7:6]
So, We shall ask those to whom the messengers were sent, and We shall ask the messengers (how they conveyed the message).

[7:7]
Then, having full knowledge, We shall tell them the whole story, as We were never far from them.

[7:8]
The Weighing (of deeds) on that day is definite. As for those whose scales are heavy, they will be the successful ones.

[7:9]
But those whose scales are light, they are the ones who have brought loss to themselves, because they did not do justice to Our verses.

[7:10]
We established you on earth, and created in it means of living for you. Little you appreciate.

[7:11]
We created you, then gave you a shape, then We said to the angels, “Prostrate yourselves before ’Ādam.” So, they all prostrated themselves, except Iblīs (Satan). He did not join those who fell prostrate.

[7:12]
Allah said, “What has prevented you from prostrating when I ordered you?” He said, “I am better than him. You have created me of fire, and created him of clay.”

[7:13]
He said, “Then, get you down from here, it is not for you to show arrogance here. So, get out. You are one of the degraded.

[7:14]
He said, “Then give me respite until a day when all will be resurrected.

[7:15]
He (Allah) said, “You are granted respite’’.

[7:16]
He said, “Now that You have led me astray, I will certainly sit for them (in ambush) on Your straight path.

[7:17]
Then I will come upon them from their front side and from their behind, and from their right and from their left. You will not find most of them grateful.

[7:18]
He (Allah) said, “Get out of here, condemned, rejected. Indeed, whosoever will follow you from among them, I will fill Hell with all of you together.

[7:19]
O ’Ādam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise, and eat from wherever you like, but do not go near this tree, otherwise you shall join the transgressors.”

[7:20]
Then Satan whispered to them, so that he might expose to them their shame that was hidden from them; and said, “Your Lord has not prohibited this tree for you, but to avoid your becoming angels or your becoming eternal.”

[7:21]
He swore an oath, “I am one of your well-wishers.”

[7:22]
Thus, he cast both of them down by deception. When they tasted (the fruit of) the tree, their shame was exposed to them, and they began to patch together some leaves of Paradise upon themselves, and their Lord called them, “Did I not forbid you from that tree? Did I not tell you that Satan is your declared enemy?”

[7:23]
They said, “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and do not bless us with mercy, we shall, indeed, be among the losers.

[7:24]
He said, “Go down, some of you enemies of some; and for you on the earth there will be a dwelling place and enjoyment for a time.”

[7:25]
(Further) He said, “There you shall live and there you shall die, and from there you shall be raised again.”

[7:26]
O children of ’Ādam, We have sent down to you the dress that covers your shame and provides adornment. As for the dress of Taqwā (piety), that is the best. That is one of the signs of Allah, so that they may learn a lesson.

[7:27]
O children of ’Ādam, “Do not let Satan put you in trouble the way he had your parents expelled from Paradise, having their dress removed from them, so that he could show them their shame. Indeed, he sees you - he and his company - from where you do not see them. Surely, We have made the devils friends to those who do not believe.

[7:28]
When they do a shameful act, they say, “We have found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do so.” Say, “Allah never orders anything shameful. Do you say about Allah what you do not know?”

[7:29]
Say, “My Lord has ordered me to do justice.”Set your faces aright on each occasion of prostration, and pray to Him with pure faith in Him. Just as He has originated you, so you will be raised again.

[7:30]
He has led a group to guidance; and established for another group is misguidance. Indeed, they have taken the devils for their friends, instead of Allah, and they think that they are on the right path.

[7:31]
O children of ’Ādam, take on your adornment at every mosque. Eat and drink and do not be extravagant. Surely, He does not like the extravagant.

[7:32]
Say, “Who has prohibited the adornment Allah has brought forth for His servants, and the wholesome things of sustenance?”
Say, “They are for the believers during this worldly life (though shared by others), while they are purely for them on the day of Resurrection. This is how We elaborate the verses for people who understand.”

[7:33]
Say, “My Lord has prohibited only the shameful acts, whether open or secret, and (every) sinful act, and unjust aggression, and that you associate with Allah anything for which He has not sent any authority, and that you attribute to Allah any thing about which you do not have sure knowledge.

[7:34]
For every people there is an appointed time. So, when their appointed time will come, they cannot be late for a moment, nor will they get ahead.

[7:35]
O children of ’Ādam, if messengers from among you come to you conveying My verses to you, then, those who fear Allah and correct themselves will have no fear, nor shall they grieve.

[7:36]
Those who reject Our verses and stand arrogant against them, - they are the inmates of the Fire. There they shall live forever.

[7:37]
So, who is more unjust than the one who coins a lie against Allah or rejects His signs? They shall receive their share from that (sustenance) which is written (for them in their destiny) until, when Our envoys (angels) shall come to them to take their souls away, they (the angels) will say, “Where are those (so-called gods) whom you used to invoke besides Allah?” They (the unbelievers) will say, “They all have vanished from us”, and they shall testify against themselves that they were unbelievers.

[7:38]
He (Allah) will say, “Enter the Fire along with the peoples who passed before you from the Jinn and the human beings.” Whenever a group will enter it, they will curse their fellows, until when all of them will have joined each other in it, the latter ones will say about the former ones “Our Lord, they misguided us; so, give them a double punishment of the Fire.” He will say, “For each there is a double, but you do not know.”

[7:39]
The former ones will say to the latter ones, “So, you have no privilege against us. Now, taste the punishment for what you have been earning.”

[7:40]
Surely, those who have rejected Our signs and stood arrogant against them, the gates of the heavens shall not be opened for them, and they shall not enter Paradise unless a camel passes through the eye of a needle. This is how We recompense the sinners.

[7:41]
For them there is a bed from the Jahannam, and over them there are coverings. This is how We recompense the transgressors.

[7:42]
Those who believe and do good deeds,-We do not obligate anyone beyond his capacity-they are the people of Paradise; they shall remain there for ever.

[7:43]
We will remove whatever amount of malice they had in their hearts. Rivers will flow beneath them, and they will say, “All praise is to Allah who has guided us to this. We would not have been able to find the way, had Allah not guided us. Surely, the messengers of our Lord came with the truth.” Then they will receive a call, “Here is the Paradise which you have been made to inherit because of the deeds you have been doing.”

[7:44]
The inmates of Paradise will call out to the inmates of the Fire: “We have found true what our Lord had promised to us. Have you, too, found true what your Lord had promised?” They will say, “Yes.” Then, an announcer between them will call out, “The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers

[7:45]
who used to turn themselves away from the way of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, while they were the deniers of the Hereafter.”

[7:46]
Between the two groups there will be a barrier. And on A‘rāf (the Heights) there shall be people who will recognize each group through their signs, and they will call out to the people of Paradise, “Peace on you.” They will not have entered it, yet they will hope to.

[7:47]
When their eyes will be turned to the people of the Fire, they will say, “Our Lord, do not join us with the unjust people.”

[7:48]
The people of A‘rāf will call out to the people (of Fire) whom they will recognize through their signs: “Your masses were not of any help to you, nor was the arrogance you used to show.

[7:49]
Is it these (people of Paradise) about whom you swore that Allah would not allow His mercy to reach them?” (It will be said to such people,) “Enter Paradise; there will be no fear for you, nor shall you grieve.”

[7:50]
The people of the Fire will call out to the people of Paradise, “Pour on us some water, or some of what Allah has provided you.” They will say, “Allah has prohibited these for disbelievers,

[7:51]
who had taken their faith as play and a game, and the worldly life had deceived them.” So, We shall forget them today, as they had forgotten to face this day of theirs, and as they used to deny Our signs.

[7:52]
Surely We have brought them a book that We have elaborated with knowledge, as guidance and mercy for a people who believe.

[7:53]
They are waiting for nothing but its final result (i.e. the punishment promised in the Qur’ān). The day when its final result will come, those who had ignored it earlier will say, “Surely, the messengers of our Lord had come with truth. So, are there any intercessors for us who could intercede in our favor? Or, could we be sent back, so that we might do contrary to what we used to do?” Indeed, they have put their selves to loss, and vanished from them all that they used to fabricate.

[7:54]
Surely, your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He positioned himself on the Throne. He covers the day with the night that pursues it swiftly. (He created) the sun and the moon and the stars, subjugated to His command. Lo! To Him alone belong the creation and the command. Glorious is Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

[7:55]
Supplicate to your Lord humbly and secretly. Surely, He does not like those who cross the limits.

[7:56]
Do not make mischief on the earth after it has been set in order. Supplicate Him in fear and hope. Surely, the mercy of Allah is close to those who are good in their deeds.

[7:57]
He is the One who sends the winds carrying good news before His blessings, until when they lift up the heavy clouds, We drive them to a dead land. Then, there We pour down water. Then, We bring forth with it all sorts of fruits. In similar way, We will bring forth all the dead. (All this is being explained to you), so that you may learn a lesson.

[7:58]
As for a good land, its vegetation comes out with the permission of its Lord. But that which is bad does not grow except what is bad. Thus We alternate the verses in various ways for a people who pay gratitude.

Hideous

My dear readers,

I have exposed the hideous Westerners ways n views about us(But please do not over generalise them, U would only be like them, their simplistic thinking abilities, I mean)
I have achieved my purpose. As U guess it, it is no use talking to them that are not making any sense of themselves. Well, as U have guessed it 2, it was not even my intention. I just want them to expose, of course, their blind hatred n simplistic ways of thinking n the deep hatred that they have towards us, just for being Muslims. Gladly, not all of them share the same views. I am communicating to these sane Westerners 2 indirectly, of course.

The terrorist, is just an excuse. Now do U understand kind readers why they did n will not do nothing about Palestine? The Sultanate of Pattani is very much different than Timur Timor but the treatment that they get would, of course, be different.

Most of the time I'm alone with these guys. I can't blame all of U since U r already in your comfort zone or in your own reasoning think that it is useless to even communicate with these people. That is of course would defeat the purpose. I'm not even talking to themselves in the first place. I'm talking to the seekers of the truth that is with us watching, trying to understand us and of course the haters. Do U understand know why I'm doing this, dear readers. I'm conveying the message of Islam n at the same time exposing who are these Non Muslims consumed with hate towards us.

But don't be like them, a mind that can't make a distinction between specific individuals n the whole pictures. Not every Non Muslims are like them. As U can see in my interaction with them. There are those with senses. Even though, of course, they are the minority.

Maybe U said I'm wasting my time n it's pointless any way. Well, refer to Al Quran, nothing is a waste of time, everything has a purpose. I know I could never beat them all, but at least, they would think 4 a second b4 smiling when someone is badmouthing us Muslims. That would be one of the objectives of course in engaging the enemy. Don't forget your wits n easily tricked by them. Remember, they are godless, We have God on our side. Don't lose faith my brothers n sisters.

The Palestinians had endured much, much worst throughout their lives, well, for almost 60 years now N u don't have the nerve 2 be with their mockery n brutalities for a day or two, thousands of miles from U, completely protected from them. Don't be afraid. Don't U believe in Allah anymore. U see. This is what have caused our disgrace situation in the first place. We have forgotten that we are one. We just live our boring daily lives without much care of the events of the world n preoccupied with little things that is really wasting our time without any rewards from Allah except for our own satisfaction for a minute or two. Our primary concerns is only on ourselves. The rest is just side effect.

We are longing for paradise, but we are afraid to do anything or choose not to try n do anything against those who dared to call our God n their God, Allah s.w.t. as Satan, Masya Allah! our beloved Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. as a pedo n much, much hideous things to us. Yes, I know, God will punished them in the Hereafter n even now, by emptying their souls until nothing make sense 2 them. But it isn't an excuse 4 just sit back n enjoy the show n cried our hearts out when something bad happened to our brothers n sisters every where in the globe. Why don't we overturn their hates n lies now? Before it got bigger without any form of control. Now do U understand another one of my motive.

We are so good at coming at each others throats. We are so good when we are badmouthing our own brethren. We are so articulate in reasoning when we are fighting with our own, dishonouring our own. N of course, we claimed that it is useless in dealing with those who had dared to mock Allah and his beloved Prophet. Have we no shame?

The choice of course is yours.

Expectation

srizals@gmail.com

My wife asked me, what do I expect in writing this blog. Well being a teacher, where u have 2 do 5 jobs in one, I am the teacher, the babysitter, the course participant n sometimes trainer, the entertainer, examiner of books n exam scripts on a daily basis, Handball coach, etc. etc. Can I cope with my time?

Well I'm not so sure but one thing I do know, at least maybe I can wipe off the smile from their faces (westerners, Hindus, Christians, Buddhist, Money worshiper, Atheist, Pun n Porn seekers, etc. etc.) when they read about another baby killers celebrating their 'bravery' n shameful victories n their mad Zionist rabbi who condone the killings n brutalities against not armies, not Muslims brave, but helpless n trapped babies, children, women n old ones without any shame, guilt or remorse.

We r Muslims, the men can marry up to four wives but never ever have free sex with anyone we like without a tie of a marriage n in the name n blessing of God. For same sex intercourse, well it is a blasphemy. Remember the people of Sodom n Gomorrah? Well, it is stated in the bible, n the old testament 2 right? I said we can have four wives, not we are all entitled to. Women c, no matter they are Muslimah, still have a hard time of sharing the love of their husbands with other women, well we have to think a lot of considerations, like the ability to carry the responsibilities, like money, the time, the energy, etc. etc. ..well not like u guys, I mean the non Muslims of course.

We r Muslims, willing to die n kill in the honour of the truth, our God, our faith, our right n our dignity if we must, if we have no other choice, to fight the oppressors, the slayers of the weak, the butchers, those who think they r gods, they r above the human race. (Like the Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt eh, well guess what, they are Modern day Pharaoh, c, they kill n plunder like everyone is their slaves n they r gods) Well, most of the time we, Muslims are on the dying sides, like in Bosnia, Chechnya, South Thailand, The Philippines, Maluku, Palestine, Xinjiang etc. etc. n always be labeled as critters, as troublemakers, as the disturber of peace. Yeah, don't u wish we just died quietly eh, n u got all the lands, gold n the spoils of your undeclared wars.

We r Muslims, forbidden forever 2 kill babies, children, women, the old ones, attacking civilians even in the battlefield since it was forbidden by our teacher, our guide, our love, the last prophet, Muhammad s.a.w. , the last messenger of a series of messengers from Allah. Starting with Adam a.s, Abraham a.s, Musa a.s, Isa a.s n every single of them whether they r mentioned in Al Quran, in the bible especially the Barnabas, in the Torah or not even mentioned, it lies entirely on Allah's wisdom, for mentioning them or not, for He is the All Knowing. But we do know that no one on this earth will meet his maker without first being informed n guided about the truth of life. So that he cannot excuse himself in front of Allah on judgment day. C, this life is a test. Does your faith explain that to U?

I may be wrong, with my limited time n knowledge, with my kids always bugging me, well most of the time, my wife, my jobs...Well it's a labour of love anyway. I may make mistakes, typo error, unconfirmed facts, but please forgive me. I am only human. I'm not even in the category of the wise one. But, nevertheless, I am a man with responsibility, no matter how bad I am at it, I can't run away from it. N this responsibility of upholding the truth, even though an uphill task, has been laid firmly on my shoulder.

Being a human, I can only ask U, my Muslim brothers n sisters, my fellow human beings, 2 assist me with your comments, writings, thoughts etc. etc. that can quench the thirst of the seekers of knowledge n truth in the Worldwide Web. At least we r using this WWW in a dignified way, even though almost 80 to 90 percent of its contents r hideous n revolting. It does not matter what U believe in. Let us discuss it with an open mind. I'm not pushing my truth or my believe 2 anyone. I'm just explaining why I believe it n so that u won't be lied so easily about us Muslims.

We are human beings just like u. We bleed, we fall sick, we fall to temptations, we make mistakes, we trying to be good, we want to live in peace, we want 2 prosper just like u. Well, we can't do all the things that u do, like having free sex, killing babies, children, women n helpless civilians. Raped n chopped to pieces Iraqi girls n killing her entire family to hide your hideous crime n in the end got to spend time in luxurious prison of the west. Milan Lukic n Sredoje, two Bosnian Serbs also got that special Western Civilized justice for burning alive about 119 Muslims, babies, children, women etc. etc. along with other hideous killing. U westerners never stop to amaze me, well not all of U, I'm sorry, some of u are so fond of burning your victims to death, in the Hutu vs Tutsi conflicts, Cranmer was also burned alive you know. U sure want to act like god do U? Inflicting hell to your opponents, the ones who dared to face u, The Japanese, no, not soldiers, babies, women n old women and men toasted n suffered a horrible slow death even if they survived the blast of your weapon of mass destruction. N now some of U r threatening of putting the small lovely mushrooms on Muslims cities n countries n yet u cried cowardly, we are looking for WMD in Iraq, No WMD for terrorists n some more cry baby like stuff, Erm.. U guys. One senator in the USA even suggested that they should nuke Makkah n yet they claimed we are against terrorist not Islam. I'm just glad that these sick cowards are not running your country, (please check 4 me ok) or else u be ended up of nuking yourself. C, try nuking 1.5 billions Muslims worldwide n u might just end up with nuking yourself, radioactive rain or smoke eh, remember Chernobyl disaster?

Your countries, your government in the past (n some still at it) had humiliated us with imperialism n brutality in the name of spreading Christianity (to prosper your own country like a leech that suck the entire blood of subdued nations and people, more likely) to the new world, remember. U killed n plundered our nations n almost the entire world. N Now U r saying u r having a hard time dealing with the increasing numbers of Muslims n foreigners in your homeland? Well, guess what? What goes around, comes around, eh? Well, most of your wealth came from our wealth n blood, remember? The Dutch, the blood n wealth of the Indonesians, The Great Britain, the blood n wealth of the Land of the Malays, our tin, our iron ore, our rubber, luckily our oil is left intact. Praise be to God. Last thing I heard Italy had announced an official apology to Libya for its aggressions n illegal occupation back in the imperialism days.

I wonder when would Great Britain be great enough to do the same, well, to the Commonwealth countries of course, whose wealth had been plundered by her during her era of slavery of the whole wide world. N now the Englishman (I mean it literally, he is one of the commentators in Cranmer's blog) is complaining about Muslims n foreigners in their so called homeland. Which part? Scotland? Ireland? Ermm..

May God guides us all as He has guide me to this blog. Amin Ya Rabbal'alamin.

I would like 2 share a poem with all of U.

Where are you O Honesty?
In the ocean of lust
In the wave of deceit
In the stampede of brutality

Where are you O sweet Honesty?
When I face my trials
In this endless sea of my shortcoming
In the dying breath of what is pure and chaste
Innocence, Truth, and what is holy
Help me O dear honesty

Help me to see the true real me.
