Everybody Draw Muhammad Day

I have been thinking lately about things I have been thinking about all my life for a myriad of reasons. One such thing is the fact that grows on me with every passing day: God does exist.

That being said, all random pieces of crap logic, demented behavior and other enlightened BS being extended to Muslims every hour of the day fall into place.

I was mortified to see Muslims debasing Jesus and Moses in retaliation to this absurd event of uncivilized, inhumane, unethical and intolerable "freedom of expression". We MUST abstain from retaliating to servants of their temporal and carnal desires by slandering Prophets of God. Please, remember: Musa (Moses), Eesa (Jesus) and Muhammad are ALL Prophets of Allah and merit our deepest and unconditional respect and love.

Please stop making poo on the road in response to all the world making poo on our lawn. We, Muslims are better than this. We are civilized. We are respectable. I suggest, you retaliate by becoming better Muslims: by not lying, by keeping your promises, by minding your language whenever you open your mouth, by respecting elders and loving young ones. Retaliate by being even more regular in your 'ibadah: prayers, alms, month long fast of Ramadan, Hajj and Jihad. And you know, Jihad is NOT synonymous with blowing your self up in a shopping mall packed with women and children or a hospital or in a college. Convince your sisters, mothers, wives and daughters to be good Muslim women and be modest. Make your children look upto Muslim heroes; by self example of course; instead of heroes borrowed from mindless slaves of desires and appetites. And then, when the time comes, join the ranks of the Promised Messiah.

We tend to forget that our lives are meaningless in the overall scheme of events. If we want to leave our mark on history, we better make a concsious effort for that. Or like I always say, our downward spiral into oblivion leads us on a one way trip to - oblivion.
And no where else.

Holocaust Reinvented

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

Below I have provided pictures I recieved from a friend in e-mail today. They narrate a bloody tale that would otherwise take tomes to expound. It is powerful; it is soul reaving; it is painful. And it merits our prompt, profound attention. These images hint at the depths to which humankind can fall with no remorse and no regrets. They tell us how we fail to learn from our collective mistakes and repeat them over and over, mercilessly and; more tormentingly; shamelessly. They point to where we're headed: spiralling downwards into oblivion.


The B & W image to the left in each image pair is a glimpse of 'Nazi' terror of the yester years; the color image to the right captures 'Ashkenazi' terror of today.










What I find devastating is the indifference, immorality and cruelty with which we transfer our madness and disease to our young, guaranteeing a continued viscious cycle of injustice, atrocity, suffering, and hateful, agitated existence. We seem content with sowing and reaping evil. And love bragging about it.




What the Nazis are touted to have done to Jews decades ago is being dispensed to Gentiles today, at the hands of Ashkenazis. An event, many serious scholars call the biggest hoax of 20th century is lamented upon, cried for and remembered. Those who question its various aspects are silenced or crucified. At the same time, genocide of a people is being conducted today and the brave members of the free world are busy golfing, clubbing, picking stocks, playing catch and having fun. And then there are others who want to curb violence with violence.

What we need to understand is that our lives as we know them are meaningless individually. That we need to focus on collective survival. That we need to tolerate each other and facilitate peaceful co-existence. It must be understood that this is not possible without bringing about change in the way we see things and the way we think.

Live and let live. Only possible when we give more and take less.

Create and favor change. Sacrifice. Your favorite side of the bed, your seat in the bus, your favborite T-shirt, food, money, time, emotion and cravings. Give more. Take less. Offer more. Ask for less. Our survival and salvation depends on it.
