world in turmoil

what a week....besides the idiots terrorising mumbai...back home our idiot julius malema wishes us to believe he is part of the so called ANC "elite". hello? !!! elite?, since when did the struggle heroes become an elite, and how could someone who is certainly six cans short of a six pack consider he could be elite, unique maybe, because no one and i mean no one could be that freeking stupid.

the new political party COPE seems to be gaining momentum, with new recruits. lets hope they will be less elitist...perhaps they will remember their roots. and that what we do should be for the greater good of the country and all who live here. wishfull thinking on my part, yet i am a firm believer in democracy winning the day. come back to this blog in a couple of years, i certainly do not want to be eating crow.

the dimwit in zimbabwe is clinging on to his presidency. while his country is obliterated literally. now there is cholera, which has contaminated our waters. for God's sake guys what the hell is the problem. go to switzerland kiss your gold bars, and let zimbabwe, try to recover, from the ashes. not to mention the "doofus" morgan svengerai (spelling) is not any better than "Bob", but, who cares? it's just zimbabwe, and won't make ripples in the world. unlike india. which of course, i am inclined to believe, there are greater issues at work on the subcontinent. which does not excuse the events that transpired last week. violence solves nothing.
as Gulnaz points out, it is laziness of the mind. i agree. just because people are to ignorant, blinded or just plain lazy, they can be hoodwinked into commiting unspeakable acts.there is no excuse for stupidity and violence.

then there's the prize idiot who decided yoga is unislamic, because one chants OM...catch a wake up...chant mmmmmm.clear your mind and get some really great excercise. personally the salah is much the same as yoga, a deep meditative state where we commune with Allah. so what on Gods green earth is the problem?

once again, it boils down to shear laziness of the mind, a singular refusal to apply, our God given intelligence, to think further than our short sighted noses. islam doesn't teach us to be prescriptive, it offers us a way of life,which respects and acknowledges, that the world is populated, by people who might have different beliefs, our job, is not to sit in judgement, but to live a "good" life, to respect all humanity, and indeed all living beings. we can never go wrong, if we just respect that none of us were meant to be the same, in our differences, lies the strength of this world, why not embrace it, and create a better happier future, rather than a world of intolerance,ignorance,violence and dissention....

i have finally gotten around to posting this missive, .....thanks to all of you who sent me messages, to update my blog. i have been much to preoccupied with life, as i know it. hopefully i will have a chance in the near future.
