Dr Wafa Sultan describes herself as ...An Addendum,<br /><br />Dr Wafa Sultan describes herself as "a Muslim who does not adhere to Islam"???<br /><br />My mistake in describing Dr Wafa as a 'his'. I normally attribute such extreme views to a male. I didn't realise she's an American (migrated from Syria) lady. anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-44352902270001633812015-01-17T04:18:30.422+00:002015-01-17T04:18:30.422+00:00Thank you Anon 16 January 2015, 17:21
This is one...Thank you Anon 16 January 2015, 17:21<br /><br />This is one of the most honest and enlightening comment I've ever had in AsH. Please, this is not irrelevant rambling. If so, my whole Blog has been one helluva rambling since 2008!<br /><br />This is the world we have - as I'm 70, this is not my world. I reckon, and I may be wrong, the one difference between then and now is that those who oppose you and have differences with you show their faces and their names. There's a lot more cowardice and absence of accountability in this hi-tech generation. <br /><br />This is the 21st century and like you, I'm tired of it all.<br /><br />Two months ago, I was so, so tempted to stop writing (and taking up cudgels) and sit in my rocking chair and do nothing but watch junk on TV here in Malaysia and in England. (that includes the news and <br />'reality' ramblings of experts on politics, religion, art and culture, and of course inane and mind-killing advertisements) just like Calvin in "Calvin and Hobbes". <br /><br />There's nothing 'boring and insignificant' about your life as seen in your second and third paragraphs!<br /><br /><br /><br />anak si-hamidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936071509364600235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504059632454233163.post-68294889085154195492015-01-16T17:21:11.599+00:002015-01-16T17:21:11.599+00:00You certainly are spirited.

Probably KJ put it best when he said it's nauseating. The kind of things that Charlie Hebdo cartoonists draws, it's outright negative propaganda that makes non Muslims despise and hate Islam, and it denigrates and provokes Muslims, especially those affected by things beyond their control, into being easy pickings by radical Muslims who want war. When you see the rally resulting, other Muslims who cares about their faith only sees it as proof that the non Muslim world does indeed have something against them. Nothing good comes out of this kind of freedom of expression. <br /><br />Well, that concerns the rest of the world. As for Malaysia,social discussion in Malaysia IMO is tainted by partisan politics. Everything that comes up is sure to be used by some people to gain political advantage for the party they support. There's cyber troopers roaming around in social media to influence opinion, there's political minded editors and writers spinning the news on their newspapers and online portals, there's various NGOs claiming to champion a multitude of notions, but it feels to me like it's a waste of time to get dragged along, because you don't get the feeling that people care for anything else other than the party they supporting to win the next GE.<br /><br />Though, I sure believe you're not one of them. I believe you care for more than that.<br /><br />I hope you don't mind my irrelevant rambling. If you do, apologies.<br /><br />I'm just tired of it all. At the same time ashamed because I got the feeling I enjoy looking at all this thing happening, as if this adds spice to my boring and insignificant life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
