Happy Valentine's, NOT!

To date, 7 people have mentioned that I gained weight....

Happily blogging rite here, of course, you knew I don't have a date or plans for the day.. Tho' my mom said I received a big package at home... From who? Please tell me, 'cos I'm no good at guessing.. And most of the time, I don't care about who send it, but what the present is.. Today, is the BIG, CELEBRATED, GLORIOUS V day..

for florists of course... hehe..

Then again, florist, or lovers, it shouldn't matter.. We should all buy flowers for our lovers, with or without this day..

I was discussing this with Faizah yesterday and how, due to religious reasons, we should never celebrate it.. I'm in support of her argument.. And even without Islam at heart, I see no point celebrating it, 'cos believe me, I buy flowers and chocolates all the time..

And I do believe that people like us have the tendency to make Islam sound all too UPTIGHT, with its believers too RIGHTEOUS and most of all, that it CONDONE VIOLENCE..

A recent chat at breakfast with Mevis, Yaya and Shafa, I mentioned that if someone were to make a blasphemous comment about Islam, I would not start raging about and point my gun at him and the people around him..

That's just crazy..

Being all Singaporean, I would probably
1) Make blasphemous comments about his religion
2) Slap him
3) Get him to court

Trust me, beyond all the war and protests that's going on, Muslims are not violent people.. Like how Indians get egoistic about being Indian, Islam just cannot tolerate blasphemy.. And how what Muslim Malays seem to get pregnant all too prior to marriage and frequent clubs and bars the most, Islam still stand in their hearts.. Well, at least MOST of them..

In my view, it's all between GOD and YOU.. Whatever you do, or how you look, NO ONE can tell whether you'll go all the way for Islam..

And when I meant all the way, I don't mean using guns and airplanes, or nuclear weapons for that matter..

Let's digress a lil'..

Like Christians and Catholics, there's a HUGE difference between Shi'ahs and Sunnis.. Even tho' to many others, it's somewhat the same.. Even to me, I still see very lil' difference in Christians and Catholics, cos to me they are all the same: Kafir.. And to them, Sunni and Shi'ah, we are all Muslims.. Not true.. To Sunnis, Shi'ahs are totally not Muslims..

Right now, all the violence, uproar and blasphemy I see it's not for or because of Islam, but because of poverty, low literacy, lack of gun control and plain Arab- ego..

Were these terrorists (Muslims or not) have a car to drive to work to and a school to go to, they won't have the time or spirit to get up and rage against governments..

Were they be able to read the Quran or even newspapers, they'd know they shouldn't be violent, but charmingly persuasive..

And were they not anti- Israelis, (emphasizing NOT pro- Islam, but ANTI- ISREAL), they wouldn't give a damn about self- made, non- existant- unauthorisedly- invaded country..

So to all my dear non- Muslim friends, be afraid NOT, for we Singaporean Muslims do not have much angst and do not own guns..

That's all I have to say.. Good day..
