Why Not Prove The Pope's Quote A Lie?

I know this can be sensitive, but we haven’t got a choice than to ask exactly why.

Pope Benedict has received his own portion of opposition from the Islamic world in the last few days and by now must have thought ‘this is exactly what I’m saying’. Of course, it was. What with the violence that raged in wherever they destroyed even lives?

Funny thing with these cases is that Muslims have successfully installed themselves as the first class citizens of the world and thus are above comments and tolerance, all in the name of worshipping God. But it is appalling that a sect who claim to preach peace, love, unity, etc, resort to violence all the time for anything. May I ask; does Islam preach forgiveness too? I am yet to see.

One time on BBC Newsnight, a commentator assumed that Islam is in a civil war within itself. And that is not far from the truth. Yes, I believe that statement because we do not know who the real Muslims are. Are they the ones who set houses on fire and kill the innocents, detonates bomb and riots or are they the ones who tolerates others and agree that humans can air their views? Obviously I have not captured as many sect as there are but you can agree, reader, that Islam need to put its house in order.

But in all, the Pope might have not quote the late emperor, yet, the Pope’s quote has not been proved a lie with all the violence that followed. Once again, I remain on and shout out what I suggest; let the Muslim world put its house in order and tell us what to believe about them. We are all confused.

A salam alieku.

Blogger/Web2.0 Mixer Redux... Event

Mhh… was soooo good; I mean very very good.

Roger planned this for months and the result was worth the dedication. Over 40 web people ((?), from mere novice like myself, to gurus, enterprenuers, you name it. It was a wonderful humble gathering; everyone mixing with the other, chatting, exchanging cards, ideas, thoughts, advising each other, suggestions, comments and introduction to individual styles.

I met quite a lot of people even though it was not easy grabbing the massive ideas available as each person talked to seems to be the best in the sector. Wish it was a 10-day conference really.

Thanks to Roger once again and nice, it was indeed meeting all you guys. Hope we do it again soon.

What Is The Purpose Of Life?

Last week Tuesday, I met a stranger who came to share the bench with me in Green Park. We both were reading different novels.

As London is, talking to strangers isn’t any hard job. We did share about our different books and struck a friendship there. What enticed me most was how broad our discussion went and the thoughts it led me to thereafter. As we chat late into the night sitting on the stairs leading to Waterloo place, away from the whole circus at Piccadilly and Leicester Square, subjects transited smoothly and uninterruptedly, making our time very interesting.

And so, this one stuck in me: What is the purpose of life? Now, I want to find out from you reader, your own answer to that question. Kindly send your own view/answers by commenting below or sending an email to lifepurposeof@yahoo.co.uk. Responses should not be more than 150 words please.

Thank you.
