Sentimental Judgement Of A Friend...

beautiful_sky: i read ur blog today. you have a serious chip on your shoulder about muslims and islam. what that guy said about the prophet and modile phones isn't even an intelligent argument. hwo could you not see that?!

The above is what a friend who reads my blog said about the posting that saids 'I think it makes a lot of sense'. Being a muslim, he find it unintelligent and accuses me of having “a serious chip on my shoulder about islam, etc. Makes me laugh out loud.

My concern is that young people of his age will think the way he does. Doesn’t that put him in the tiny minority that paints Islam bad? By the rate my friend goes on about Islam, I won’t be surprised if he becomes a suicide bomber some day… God help him. Below is my reply:

As against your sentiments, I have nothing against Islam, Christianity, Judaism, or whatever they are called. If I have anything against anything, it is against religion in its entirety and form, no matter the name. But again, I am too liberal to think it wrong as I see it as a form some people use to get by in their lives. What matters is for them not to use it to trample on others' right of existence by scrambling that they hold the sole and only access/license to God; nonsense.

As for what they guy said, it is simple and straight-forward. He only pointed out the simple kinds of human errors that keep throwing our world into the mud of disunity. You need no (worldly) scholarly understanding to see the truth. There is no need to equate it to/with intelligence as it is a simple truth. Truth do not need your philosophical theories and that is why it is bitter.

I think you need to let go of your sentiments to see the truth. He wasn’t even against Islam in his saying. Instead you are the one being fanatic in seeing that as unintelligent; awful.

My blog on the ARCHBISHOP (sure not an Islamic title/rank/position) of Nigeria didn’t get your comment because it is not Islamic and so you don’t think I have a thing against Christianity...

I pray and hope you start seeing things from a very selfless perspective than criticising others. At the rate you are going, you seem part of the minority that portray Islam in bad taste... Read the rest of what I have to say on the same blog.

Why Holding Madeleine

When I look at the face of Madeleine McCann on TV day after day since she was stolen, I can’t but ask myself, why is she being held? Such an innocent child, harmless and cute as she is.

The whole world has joined to demand her return and I am no different. And not only her but of many others being held against their fate and wish, my heart reaches out to them all.

Over 8 weeks ago, Alan Johnston of BBC went missing in Gaza and the whole world is still asking for him, his family is devastated and his poor old parents are heart broken – not what a parent deserve at such age. But not only them, his colleagues, friends, siblings, and yes, it has also got to us, by-standers as the continuation of this wickedness seems directionless and you never know who it will be the next.

Please, whoever is holding this sweet young little girl, do consider that this child has committed nothing. Say your need, but let this child free. Not only does her parents need her, she need to grow up properly herself. She needs to live among her own people. She needs to groom with her known acquaintance not with a sudden stranger. Please; please; whatever your grudge is, let this innocent soul go. Let Alan Johnston go; and let all the people held for no fault of their own free. PLEASE DO.

God be with Madeleine, God be with Alan, God uphold your families and all of us as scared and affected by this ill-wind of terror.

Thanks also to all those who have lent not only their time and affection to this family, but their wealth also.
