OBAMA is COOL.

Dear Mr. President,

You are too cool to be true. I hate to sound exaggerating but already, there are countless number of youngsters who would like to be just like you, including myself. I sure pray to God that the future generation will appreciate you as a hero...Not having to know you through websites such as this:

I believe actions speak louder than words.

Yes you can.
Yes I can.
Yes WE can.








Even your wristwatch is cool:

emancipation.

Since the downfall of Islamic Ottoman Empire in 1922 or earlier; from the adaptation of western cultures forth, western hegemony brought new definition of almost everything including human needs. The fundamental human needs as outlined by Maslow and Max Neef (1943) are;

1- subsistence,
2- protection,
3- affection,
4- understanding,
5- participation,
6- recreation (in the sense of leisure, time to reflect, or idleness),
7- creation,
8- identity,
9- freedom.

By manipulating these needs, hedonism is reincarnated. The worst part of this ‘creativity’ is the ‘excessive freedom’ it provides to both women and men. This strategy will always find its way to the hearts of mankind as it goes along with lust, perfectly.

Nowadays, women start to talk about emancipation, changing of basic Islamic ethics of hijab and equality without even questioning the relevance of their actions and what the outcomes might be.

The evolution of fashion was most aggressive after World War 2. Makeups which were associated to prostitution back then was accepted into society, overnight, thanks to the overwhelming development of media and entertainment. Designers mushroomed and a new industry was created. Despite economic imbalances, the fashion industry continued to prosper and up till this day.

Every new waves of fashion is always interconnected to Hollywood. Hollywood was also responsible of tuning up the minds of commonnies to seeing ‘Eros’ and ‘Thanatos’ (the two urges, by Sigmund Freud) animalistically. Since then, women are seen as an ‘art piece’ for everyone. Excessive exposure of women body is not seen as immoral anymore. Instead, it is ‘daring’. Chastity paradoxically became a shame instead of a pride.

Henceforth, women lost their pride. Sex industries sprout and continue to expand. No one can deny the massive degradation this development brought to women. Women; mothers of future generations, have been robbed of their rights and they like it. They express this God-forbidden joy by labeling Islamic fundamentalist groups as closed-minded, orthodox extremists.

Let us pause and ponder. When did the transition of dressing culture actually took place? We remember watching classic movies with actresses putting on ‘reasonable’ clothing. What happened to skirts? Are we in deprivation of fabrics which are NOT translucent? Truly, this deprivation will result in something more than just moral corruption.

Some say that it is unjust for men to only ‘talk’ in such way about women.
Unjust it is, if they are seeing this problem from who’s-to-blame point of view. But examining this problem holistically, we would find out that there are reasons to protect what’s precious, and the same applies to women. It is the protective nature of the religion Islam and the love of God that some guidelines are made compulsory to Muslimahs and Muslims.

Mankind’s ‘escalation’ is evident. But there is also no say in this universal religion that pose restriction to women from developing. It is only that the ‘channel’ should be right (not like the westerners).

We should recall the concept of super ego, ego and ID, suggested by Sigmund Freud. It is with the motivation of ID that we are trying to CREATE reasons to fulfill our anxious ‘urges’ and adoration of ‘sublimes’ in the conscious of ego. Could it be that the only truly applicable super ego governing the behavior of mankind (that it not be that of animal) is the qualities of the one religion which does not tolerate the slightest moral skepticism?

Male domination, sexism, rape cases, depreciation of women and degeneration of moral values are just some out of many aftermaths of western hegemony. It is by denying the cause of all this to be the malpractices of westernization, that worsens the case. It is by providing other ‘logical’ reasons to cover up for what westernization does (such commercialization of women) that the problem remains uncurbed. It is by replacing God’s words with man-made laws that the problem even exists.

God bless men and women, Muslims or non-Muslims, who still abide to the Golden Laws.

The higher logics.

While reading through the book of dream interpretation written by Sigmund Freud, I discovered a very controversial quote which says;” It would be an error to suppose that the theory of the supernatural origin of dreams lacks followers even in our own times; for quite apart from pietistic and mystical writers -- who cling, as they are perfectly justified in doing, to the remnants of the once predominant realm of the supernatural until these remnants have been swept away by scientific explanation -- we not infrequently find that quite intelligent persons, who in other respects are averse to anything of a romantic nature, go so far as to base their religious belief in the existence and co-operation of superhuman spiritual powers on the inexplicable nature of the phenomena of dreams (Haffner).” This statement implies that superhuman and spiritual entities which predominate the faculty of human belief are merely fictions of elders who insisted on having explanations to feed the ever inquisitive nature of youngsters while the science of this ‘mature’ millennium generation is the beacon.

If this statement is taken to be true and believed by majority, it would be a knowledge. But that is truly impossible considering the epistemological flaw in philosophy. Philosophy indirectly suggest that by being the hybrid of truth and belief, knowledge is superior to both. But even knowledge by way of scientific methods, that is, has its degree of truthfulness. How can humans be sure that a knowledge is true when they are prone of making mistakes through weaknesses, the same reason why hypothesis was invented in science and hence; the challenging of it. How can materialists be sure that a knowledge is fit for belief without ‘leaning’ it on a certain guidelines, known since long as had descended from a divine source. Out of many reasons why a specialist in a certain field of study has to complete the circle of the particular field and actively contributes to this field later on is to avoid coining new terms explaining same phenomena all over again. Our incapability as humans to holistically examine a phenomenon after connecting its counterparts together-somewhat like a puzzle-and our laggard development in collecting the missing pieces cause our scientific explanations to be devastatingly temporary and hence our belief -if based on science- be rendered plastic.

That is why the concept of tabula rasa is wrong and the debate of nurture against nature is petty; because almost a must that human beings and the entire universe which exist serving purposes be equipped with a pre-program marking the axis of significance of life. It is therefore; right to only say that scientific knowledge is nothing more than a tool to determine which spiritual belief suits the very nature of mankind best and not to substitute belief itself for too feeble is science to displace mighty belief sustaining the existence of proper moral values, ethics and ethos. This is exactly what was revealed by the virtue of God’s Messengers.

This higher logic of the truth of spiritual entity and the belief it deserves makes our logic of the lower incapable of challenging it. The motivation and determination of people refusing to give up faith will always succeed revealing foolishness of materialists like how the ‘Big Bang’ erased the theory of static universe from existence.

26 November 2008, spitfires.

DYM Raja Nazrin is pushing for Monarchs' immunity, PAS shall name their first success in Shah Alam as to be able to limit liquor business, Anwar says that it will not get worse, DAP says that PAS needs some arrogance management and Wanita UMNO is on a tough ride. Isn't it grand, because never in this short life history of mine, which I share with the rest of other young Malaysians which so happen to be the only rest after the time of DYM Raja Nazrin, Anwar and Rafidah Aziz, did Malaysians get so critical about Malaysia. This has got one way to go and one way only.

If this is going down, why bother, because these numero unos got their own God-forsaken agendas at best (except Tun because he's doing charity, if you think about it). We might as well be writing novels than wasting keystrokes. Get in, get out. Get it? At least for me, that's not an option, because I'm not thinking about spending my time here any longer than until my contracts expire. I don't know about you.

But you can be God-damned sure that it's the option taken by those wasted youngsters doing illegal racing and drugs and they are many. You can be God-damned sure that those culprits who would love to see the Malaysia which got this far, rot, (Ivy Josiah etc.) will work their guts out just so that it be. The later is why I and many other concerned individuals (not saying that I'm any better than you) gave up on explaining about history and how history repeats itself, to the mass majority.

Today, I received an e-mail invitation to join UMNO Club Germany and I am more than pleased to do so. I'm very sure that it was sent to all of us. But thinking about what's happening in Malaysia gives me the constant unpleasant feeling, the kind of feeling you get having bitter pill bits stuck in between your teeth. For the love of God, tomorrow's generation and generations to come are not 'cleaners'!

If this is heading upwards, and I don't see how, the tensions which are now growing, would develop battle-hardened groups of 'malignant' thugs, metastasising their corrupted ideologies and at the end of the day, there will be nothing left to loot. That time, the culprits call age of freedom, that time we call hell on earth. You want to know it, look around.

At this moment, more than anything, we need the world to know us like how they've come to know our other Asian neighbours, take Singapore for example.

Because when we're done quarrelling, what's left of the world's wealth for us worth nothing more than any other leftovers. Then, we can scavenge.

Godspeed.

...

Owh the place these people go...

Let us not try to justify the rights or the wrongs of options, few in number. After all, rights and wrongs are one-sided. It sides the story teller; the winner. Because a matter is indefinitely right or wrong before its outcomes, the question of what SHOULD be put to motion and the weighing of RICH options are more eminent.


Many’s the time when the richness of options precedes the richness of justifications of options, the right options being put to motion result in ‘predicaments’. What should be meant by ‘predicaments’, in politics (Malaysian politics, at least)? Momentary confusions which do not add up to what should rightfully be? Here’s what it is:

1) ‘The arrest of a tuition teacher at Esplanade of Georgetown’. The headline reads somewhat like that. What a good skimmer wouldn’t know is the fact that she is the organizer. And how would her students / other teachers, nationwide, think had she not been arrested?

2) Abu Zahar’s remark about Malaysian-Bar-for-hire playing politician. Islam and the special rights of Malay are somehow entangled together in the Constitution. You want to know it, your forefathers signed it.

"Would that he had been able to endure prosperity with greater self-control and adversity with more fortitude!"

How about "Would that WE had been able to endure prosperity with greater self-control and adversity with more fortitude!", for a change?

As long as we go through these predicaments like concern citizens (unlike Ivy Josiah or Lee Wei San, a self-proclaimed anarchist), we would never have to use the term ‘Would that’. :)

MAJLIS FATWA KEBANGSAAN, ‘PENGKID’ MUSLIMAHS AND ...

*Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cursed men who imitate women and women who imitate men.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 5435)

IMITATE.

#%^&*(2@...

We’ve heard Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan’s Ruling several days ago. We’ve even heard the voices of non-Muslim Malaysians (let us bare this in mind), condemning the Fatwa rather enthusiastically, although many Muslim Malaysians still couldn’t figure out why in God’s name did it happen so.

Who are ‘we’? That’s the fundamental question. Are ‘we’ Malaysians as in ‘Malaysians’ Malaysia’ who took the oath of ‘Rukun Negara’, crossed our heart and hope to die if we happen to defy ‘Kedaulatan Undang-undang’ and those other principles, who respect religious freedom and value good deeds? Are we members of The New Coalition who fight for justice, who speak out against corruptions even if it means ISA and preach a better Malaysia by method of ridding corruptions and those corrupted?

At this very moment, it is convincing that we are none of those stated above. Why now, would the Chinese and Indians (some) work hand in hand to condemn Majlis Fatwa’s ruling, amidst of all the political and financial crises in Malaysia, and why this issue? Christians would agree to the notion that men should remain as men and women should remain as women. That’s two against one, Westernization!

Indeed, this newborn axis was meant to severe the pain of the already ailing Malaysia. The people of this axis are neither Malaysians nor members of The New Coalition because then, they would know about article 153 of the Constitution better than anyone. And the leaders of The New Coalition, Muslims especially; the test of time would determine whether you are worthy of protecting your own religion and standing up for it through hard times, or should I say; at times such when people start calling your Fatwa, stupid. Hide behind your ignorance and you shall suffer consequences.
