Cartoons

when the whole world is expressing their views on this contentious issue of reprinting the offensive cartoons for the Muslims our god forsaken country or atleast our leaders do not seem to register that anything at all is happening. there is no talk in the media and not even a shrug from an official's shoulder... from jewish indiscriminate terrorism in Palestine to the danish cartoon terrorism to the never ending American war on Islam the whole world is abound with things to be done to the Muslims but here in out country nobody seems to take notice. its true that we are a small country and yet being small does not mean we shall be indifferent to pain and suffering. it hurts to the the core when our own brothers and sisters in faraway places are killed and our beloved prophet's memory is insulted but who cares? certainly not the present regime or the cronies of this regime who are too dumb to be able to read news and issues i guess. we the masses, the majority of this country do care about these issues and yet we are constantly kept in the dark and the only thing they care about is their own positions and welfare. the same corrupt story the world over.

but i refuse to believe that this shall be so. that change cannot happen. i believe it will happen and that we can make it happen. to be a responsible person one does not have to hold important government positions. but one does have to have a conscience. some sense of morals and values and a love for justice. these are all fine and good qualities which can be found anywhere in the globe but mostly in books and in print. but these are also very easy to implement and bring about change to wherever change was needed.

about this bomb in sultan park

i dont believe its a bomb and i believe those who call it a bomb are trying to earn political
capital out of it. and i think i have police on my side. they are not calling a bomb. they are
calling it some kind of a device which it was.
i want to fight all these many many ppl who have jumped into the bandwagon president gayoom created to divert real political issues....but so far i am not getting a fight. hope somebody will give me a bashing...

2007to those who disbelieve creation

the creationist views of christians are not in accordance with islam. ppl associate creationism with islam chrisitanity and judaism with the same brush. but what the cristians believe in creationism is very different from what we muslims believe. remember its the christian
and jewish scripture that fixed the age of humans somewhere in 6000 back. but islam does not sanction this bad mathematics. also one of the attributes of god (Allah swt)is the Evolver. so god evolves his creation. we muslims have no fight over this. but we cant be choosy and pick hatever that agrees with our beliefs from the holy quruan and still say we are muslims and
yet reject what we belive is beyond belief from the holy quruan. so when god says in holy quruan that he created Adam (alaihi salaathu wa salaam) in the heaven and made him to descend to earth then we have to believe it. because so says quruan and quruan cannot be subjected to
our little litmus tests. this is assuming we (may i consider including your name Jaa?) are
muslims. however if someone has left the fold of islam then i have nothing to say to such a person.another point we may have to think seriously is about that there are somethings which just aren't or cant be or things which are not possible... we just cannot make believe that everything is possible. surely there are somethings which are not possible. or which cannot be possible! however advanced we become of science or whateever there will always be limits to our understanding of various phenomenae etc... hence one such area we shall not waste our efforts is to apply what little of instruments we have of science and apply it to take the 'measurement of god'. because the god we understand in islam is not the same god they are talking about
in christianity. the god they are talking in christianity is like a big grand father in the sky who has blue eyes and white overgrown beard... with a little innnocent kid and no mother... etc etc.. a
very complicated picture they created themselves. in islam we are talking about Allah. the most high. that which has no beyond. the highest of the descriptions! ...another point is that when we
are using the works of great scientists to support our claim or to belittle anothers argument, we
attribute a certainity and authority to that work which is like a truth which cannot be challenged.. like gospel truth. remember there is no perfect circle that can be drawn. same goes to the many great scientific works by the humanity and they.... ETC....
