Osama dead? Haha.

So yeah the whole world is saying " Bin Laden is dead, Rejoice!". If the US thinks its going to fool the better educated public that Bin Laden even existed to begin with, then it should think again because their half baked attempts to seal off the Bin Laden Lie, was lame and theatrical. That he was shot at in his hideout in Pakistan, is something I scoff at.
Americans have this strange habit of trying to unify varying public opinion about the crises back home, into that of solidarity with nation and state by affixing a common enemy in the public mind. You can see it, if you were shrewd enough, that mentality that has carried them far in terms of world politics, in movies like Bat Man and shows like Heroes.

First of all, Bin Laden never existed and even if he did he was a scapegoat avatar to further US's plans to target a common enemy to reignite their dying and sputtering war economy. I, as a Muslim, never espoused nor supported his so called "Global Jihad". No Muslim in his right mind would. True, Obama in his charismatic as ever speech did flourishingly and quite nobly told the public not to associate the tyranny of Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden with the religion of Islam and its followers. But that's just very well like telling your kid who sees you smoking everyday that smoking is bad, that only you can smoke but the kid can't smoke. As the moral of the story translates, it invariably means, only the US can get away with killing off so called terrorists, no one else should do it because no one else is qualified to play God and decide who is or is not the terrorist. Yay for the world!

Second, everyone( except the americans themselves) knows that 9/11 was orchestrated by the Zionists. So in the end everything comes down to theology and tussles for power based on ideology. Before, they could target -isms like Communism, but now that Communism has been flogged and shown the door with its tail between its legs, there aren't any other -isms of the same threatening degree left. So what's left for the power hungry Zionists to do but play their cards well, and my they've been doing that for centuries its like second nature to them. What have they been doing again? Yes fooling the world. Don't get me wrong Im not against the Jews as a race, Im against their zionist views which are very much against universal laws in that they espouse themselves as the superior race that HAS to save the rest of the human race. Islam is the world's 2nd largest religion. China housing the world's largest population is now a global power to be reckoned with. At least there is no risk of converting people to become Chinese but where a faith is concerned, it involves conversion if it were to expand; therefore this entails a huge threat to them. If such conversion were to take place, a transfusion of values would take place vis a vis first world values that have deep judo-christian roots. I have nothing against the original Jewish and Christian scriptures on their own( in fact Islam accepts these two religions as authentic) but the atheistic and secular world view garnered by the small ruling party of the world, and indoctrinated through global domination as the one and only valid view of the world, stands to be corrected or changed if Muslims were to become the dominant population...Therefore, what do they do but create an avatar to channel the world's hatred towards a religion which till the last century had no problem co-existing with its neighbours.

It is very sad that the vast majority of the people nowadays are ignorant and they take at face value whatever the Zionist owned media feeds them,saturated, diluted and improvised versions of the truth, bottled and sold with a twinkle. I'm not saying the Muslims are perfect, true we have our faults just like every other human being has, but what I'm saying is how lowly and despicable it is to interpret a peaceful and loving religion with its own set of ethics and values, as a barbaric and diseased indoctrination just to selfishly guard one race's status of superiority above others. We were all created equal and everywhere we go we see hypocritical slogans about equality and human rights...what equality? How can we pay respect to Equality as a distinguishing ideal in its own right when it is being written by the pen of the winner, a winner with his own perceived view of what equality should be,who judges everything by the shadow of his own being.

Hana Tajima

Its too sad that nowadays, the trend is that people are afraid to talk about religion or freely admit that they do want to follow religion properly. It is seen as something that one celebrates in a cultural and commercial sense( i.e christmas) but nothing more. Too often we see, rampant in the pop culture phenomenon today, eschewing of anything related to religion. The media does an excellent job of connoting anything connected to religion as indoctrination, rigidity, backwardness and narrowmindedness. So it is rather to refreshing to see a drop dead gorgeous beauty like Hana Tajima, a revert to Islam, put us muslims to shame by showing everyone you can be muslim and not affix yourself into the neat grave of stagnation and stereotype the media and the suspicious world has prepared for us. Truly an inspiration, she makes me think that I can be a good muslim AND be fashionable if I am strong and true like her.

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder

"I believe there is something of the divine mystery in everything that exists. We can see it sparkle in a sunflower or a poppy. We sense more of the unfathomable mystery in a butterfly that flutters from a twig--or in a goldfish swimming in a bowl. But we are closest to God in our own soul. Only there can we become one with the greatest mystery of life. In truth, at very rare moments we can experience that we ourselves are that divine mystery."
— Jostein Gaarder (Sophie's World)

Processing Sophie's World in my mind is equivalent to a snack junkie suddenly being packed with healthy leafy, high protein meals and whole grain wheat throughout the day. It feels like an entire shift in my mental diet. Granted thats a bit of an exaggeration because I believe my mind does "eat" relatively "healthy" materials when it comes to reading...But this book by Jostein Gaarder is certainly not one that can be read only once and digested. And trust me it will take you through a journey which'll force you to reevaluate your way of thinking, of perceiving the world and such and most importantly it makes you think. It transforms your brain into a churning thought factory suddenly processing large amounts of raw material.

I like how Gaarder true to his pedagogical stance, maintained a very unbiased view of every philosopher's viewpoint. He gave both the advantages and flaws in each respective philosopher's contribution while at the same time pin pointing the reason why each had carved out a name in philosophical history.

I also like how he managed to weave fundamentals of philosophical concepts into an interesting and laudable parallel fiction in the form of the two lead characters: Sophie and Alberto.

Definitely worth a read, educational, insightful and thought provoking.
