just after pray, pray, they came out full of anger and hatred
Post on Jan.10, 2009
then why pray? isn’t one suppose to be ‘clean’ and ‘holy’ after prayers?
Meanwhile, about 200 people gathered at the Kampung Baru mosque to protest against the Israeli invasion, and burnt American and Israeli flags to show their anger.This group was largely made up by Umno Youth members from the Titiwangsa division.
They had started their gathering after the Friday prayers and were led by an exco member from the division, Mohamed Muizz Shadik Mohamed.
see? started gathering after the friday prayers!
"We condemn the Israeli atrocities. We must create awareness of their attacks," said Mohamed Muizz.
great! what about creating awareness of how it was hamas who started it all by firing rockets into israel? or some history of hamas and the muslim brotherhood? or try to educate them on some history lessons here, of which at least it is fair, blaming both palestine and israel. then how about condemning hamas too. one has to when one learn that hamas justified the killing of children. yes indeed! i was shocked to read about that when i was at aisehman’s blog. his post on ‘weep for gazza‘ is a must read. make sure you go and read it including all the comments.
aisheman highlighted this from the times london:
… a Hamas leader warned that the Islamists would kill Jewish children anywhere in the world in revenge for Israel’s devastating assault.
“They have legitimised the murder of their own children by killing the children of Palestine,” Mahmoud Zahar said in a televised broadcast recorded at a secret location.
“They have legitimised the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people.”
shocking, isn’t it? there are more… remember to hop over to his blog to read.
ok back to the protests in our bolehland. beside the protest at the kg. baru mosque, there was this protest, said to be of 5000 people in front of the us embassy too. then of course there was this boycott launch at the national mosque lead by the ex PM. (now why do they like to do these sort of things at mosque??).
now the loud-mouthed, can’t stop talking ex PM called for a boycott of american products and currency and also for people to stop patronising macdonald and starbucks for a month. wait, there’s more… getting sillier… he also call for people to resign from working there. can you believe it??
boycott US products? then why is he using a computer? i’m sure he’s using windows OS… which is from US right? what about his blog? it could be hosted in US! very silly! i always maintain boycott is a silly thing and never suport boycott (even the boycott of our mainstream media).
malaysia only embrace one side of the conflict because they are so anti-israel. had been like this for a long time, esp. when the old man was PM, whom everybody knew to be very anti-semitic. and now the the sleeping man, the present PM, too, as manjit bhar rightly pointed out, is full of anti-israel posturing. read that interesting article of manjit, please… which i specailly CnP in my blog.
helen ang, again wrote another good piece too, ’stop the killing in gaza, how?‘ it was an article hitting out at the star’s wong chun wai’s blog post of the same heading. helen too, like many, had noticed that, malaysia’s stand on this palestine-israel issue is so one sided. go and read the full article.
the second shock i received after the first shock of which hamas said it is ok to kill all jewish children around the world, was when i read that our own dead education minister, with the blessing of the cabinet, wanted to ‘instill hatred against israel atrocities on palestine’. incredibily shocking coming from an education minister! teaching school children to hate. and why involve school children when the selangor chief police had said it is wrong to involve children in protest…. even the sultan of selangor was reportedly to have say that! i’m sure many parents of school children are equally shocked and they should write a protest letter to the government!
to end, yes i know about an an anti war vigl to be held in penang tonight. knew about it a week ago when i received the info from suaram’s mailing list. but i’m not going to attend nor am i going to announce/promote it. you can read about it in anil netto’s blog of which he mentioned only ‘anti-war’ of course but from the mailing list i received, it was mentioned ‘candlelight vigil in solidarity with the people of palestine’. huh? why in solidarity with the people of palestine and not the people of israel. they too had been attacked, their people too were injured/dead (though of course not as many as palestine). whatever it is, if it is anti-war, so it should be anti-war, not taking side but here it shows clearly they are taking the side of palestine – so what anti-war vigil it is? no thank you, i wouldn’t want to attend at all!.

Hello Lucia
I hope I find you well and open-minded enough…do consider also Hamas was elected by the people of Gaza to represent them in the Palestnian Authority, which in a way the people themselves set themselves up for this killing. As for the breakdown in the cease fire…there is no telling if the one purportly coming from Hamas may have been set up as a false-flag operation Mossad.
Here is a youtube link from US Rep Ron Paul giving a speech in the US House of Representative regarding something about the current crisis for you to have a view, if you are interested.

The middle-east and most of the many crisis in the world that we see and hear are not as straightforward as it is nor as apparent. So who am I to argue with for the info that we have come to believe in; those that we are led to believe in? For all we know, we are led to believe in lies what is being portrayed as the truth.
Tomorrow is the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, may we heed the voice of the Father in listening to His beloved.

Moses Foo, if you know history well, you will also remember that getting elected apparently is no real measure of a good regime/government using thuggery. Hitler also managed to get his Nazi party elected in his time.
Mugabe apparently won too. There are often more to “winning elections”.

Abdel Rahman Rashed, a Saudi national serving as general manager of the pan-Arab Arabiya news channel, said Hamas was responsible for the suffering of some 1.5 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip.
“Hamas committed a stupid act when it gave the Israelis an excuse to launch attacks in retaliation for a few antique rockets,” Rashed wrote in the London-based daily Asharq Al- Awsat.
“Prior to that, Hamas committed a big crime against the Palestinian people by overthrowing the Palestinian Authority [in the Gaza Strip]. The Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have suffered a lot because of Hamas’s actions. Hamas is bringing Israel back into the Gaza Strip after it was liberated by the Palestinian groups.”
January 10th, 2009 on 9:29 PM
Rashed is regarded by many Arab journalists as an unofficial spokesman for the Saudi royal family. He previously served as editor-in-chief of the Saudi-owned Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper and his writings regularly reflect the views of the Saudi establishment.
PA officials in Ramallah have joined the bandwagon by blaming Hamas for the looming humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. The charges came only hours after the PA openly held Israel responsible for the fuel shortage that has plunged large parts of the Gaza Strip into darkness since Sunday night.
PA Information Minister Riad al-Malki said the latest crisis was the result of Hamas’s “insistence on creating an Islamic republic in the Gaza Strip.” He also accused Hamas of seeking to evade responsibility for the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip by blaming the Ramallah-based government of PA Prime Minister Salaam Fayad.

Hamas is humiliated and the dhimmi malaysians want to boycott coca cola, McDonald`s etc to save Mahathir Mohd`s bakery busines which is probably in a slump:
Jemal Abu Hashem, who rarely appears on public, Salah Bardaweel, leader of Hamas parliament faction, and Heiman Ta’a, member of the military wing’s command were allowed to exit Gaza, Friday, Jan 9 and make their way to the northern Sinai town of El Arish. From there, an Egyptian military flight flew them to Cairo.
They were permitted to leave after consenting to an unconditional ceasefire, dropping their demand for open Gaza crossings and accepting that Israeli forces would hold their present lines.

Why Fatah didn’t win?
January 10th, 2009 on 10:15 PM
Fatah was/is an outrageously corrupt outfit from Arafat’s days. Hamas initially trick and seduce them people with all sorts of social works. It got the cash as an extremist proxy of extremist Iran.
The Talibans also initially were well received by the Afghanis and then went bad.

My total support for our ex Pm’s call for boycott of American goods. He should start the ball rolling by inviting the media, tv1,2,3,7,8,9 to his residence,and for him to discard everything in his home that has even the slightest semblance of made in the usa connections,from medicine to the most high tech. I am confident he could bring the US of A down to its knees.Maybe he should also set up a personal (private,duit sendiri,from own pocket or bank accounts) funds,to pay for those who resign from American firms, including Intel, etc. I am confident our dear exPm is capable of doing just that,money no problem lah. And incoming President elect Barack Obama of the USA would probabably need a lobbyist to meet our dear exPM.Askiing price, a few million good USA greenbacks,or maybe gold dinnars? Plus recognition as the oldest Tokoh Malysia in our world renown book of records? We all love our exPm’s ideas don’t we?

Badawi also was well received and NOW just as an e.g. the word “Allah” is banned so those christians whose mother tongue is malay are suddenly left adrift and have to go begging in the Courts.
ikhs who too have the word “Allah” in their Book have to go to Court for dispensation of the Badawi magnanimity. Even a terrorist country, Pakistan, does not do that.
Perhaps it is just as well that the ‘instill hatred against israel atrocities on palestine’ education minister is now dead before he could convert non muslim children to that pattern of ideology. We can only thank the good Lord for that.
Badawi says ReligionOf Peace, I`m laughing. It`s just a big con.

“Malaysian Sikhs fight to retain ‘Allah’ in Granth Sahib”
(“The Times of India”, July 5, 2008)
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – A Sikh group in Muslim-majority Malaysia is demanding the right to use the world “Allah” as a synonym for God and has joined a legal battle by Christians against a government order banning non-Muslims from using it, an official said on Friday.
The Malaysian Gurdwaras Council filed an application at the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Tuesday seeking to join a suit by the Herald, a Roman Catholic newspaper, against the government over use of the word “Allah”, said council president Sardar Jagir Singh.
The home ministry previously ordered the newspaper not to use the word “Allah” in its Malay-language publication as a translation for God, saying using the word would confuse Muslims. The Herald then filed suit, claiming it had a right to use the word.
Jagir said his council, representing more than 100,000 Sikhs, wanted to join the suit because the ruling would affect them.
The word Allah appears on “numerous occasions” in the Sikh holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, he said. “Not a word can be altered. It’s our holiest book … it will mean we can’t practice our own religion.”

Is the word “Allah” patented to Malay muslims only?
January 14th, 2009 on 5:50 PM
badawisingh
correction – it is not ‘malay muslims’ but ‘malaysian muslim’. seems that only malaysia made so much noise against other religions using allah. look at indonesia, one of the highest muslim population, they don’t object to others using allah!
