Say no to the one who always says no....

Listen! Do not make up your mind about another man or accept what another man tells you about you until you make effort to establish or discover the facts.

Allow me to repeat that:

Never say never or say 'fo shizzle' until you're able to find the truth to what you're being caused to make up your mind about, for among us are individuals whose only gift is the gift of negating anything that has a potential to inspire wonder.

If you're observant, you'll realise that one attribute that people who've succeeded with their ideas have in common is the ability to ignore those who consistently deny, criticise, doubt and detract everything and everyone but themselves.

Breaking news!

Meanwhile, the strange rumour going on is that the famous Supreme Court is considering the legalisation of paedophilia, necrophilia and beastility.

Okay that was a joke. But what if the recent legitimisation of same sex marriage by the Supreme Court is caused to be invoked as precedent in the above supposed cases? But that's none of my business

What's perhaps my business and I still cannot get my head around is the rights of the kids that'll be adopted by these queerly affectionate couples.

What if the kids grow up and realise that they're in fact products of eBay acquired semen, or perhaps born naturally but sold off to these two that they'll probably call dad and dad or mom and mom.

Where are the child rights activists when you need them? Are they saying these kids do not have rights to natural rearing? Isn't it true a claim that humankind is no longer interested in anything without a curse behind it?

Believers have limits...

"I will do whatever damn well pleases me." You and I hear this all the time; in fact I must confess that I say it when I get really pissed off. But to be honest, saying it in matters of faith and as someome who calls himself a believer is the pits of foolishness.

Granted, God said there's is no compulsion in religion, but let's not forget that this carte blanche stops the moment you sincerely submit to His Will; because then you're expected to observe the teachings, the rules, the laws and the regulations that guide or prescribe the conduct of a true believer.

Now let me give an analogy: say for instance you sat to your grade nine exams. You will naturally have an abundance of high schools to go to, except your marks deny you.

Now let's assume you did well and decided to go to Nusrat High School. Tell me, will you tell Mr. Bojang (the principal) that you'll come to school as and when you damn well like, wear whatever you want, you'll not attend the daily "assemblies" and you'll not go to school on Saturdays, will you?

LOL..l bet, knowing Mr. Bojang the way I think I know him, he won't even hesitate to expel your arse out of his school - now I rest my case!

I wonder who's the bigger bigot?

I am not a scholar and I am not pretending to be one, but one thing I know is that to say "we believe" alone is not enough; we cannot say we're true Muslims unless we believe AND do good works - that's written.

When we say we submit, we submit not to the word 'Islam' but to the Will of God, and God's Will entails doing good, enjoining goodness and forbidding evil.

Now unfortunately, trying to be good by doing good, or by enjoining goodness and forbidding evil is caused to mean bigotry, narrow mindedness, extremism, etc.

This is why people who aren't acting in accordance with our expectations or those who disagree with a certain lifestyle are seen to be haters of the adherents of that lifestyle, and their decision to differ is caused to mean phobia.

This is why contradicting our true beliefs, standards and virtues in order to overtly pretend to be in support of the things we covertly dislike has sadly become the newest cool.

Granted, willing to impair your own conviction in order to allow another man to uphold his may afford you the ground to demonstrate a good show of compassion, but whether you're sensibly compassionate is what I doubt.

But maybe the reason is not so weird after all. Maybe we tend to be politically correct about certain moral declines simply because they're expected to offer opportunities that may be favourable to us...Still sad tho!

Feeling hopeful. ..

Maybe very soon that dream will also be  decriminalised by the Supreme Court. Just maybe!

I mean being a Blackman or Muslim living in the west and be allowed to exercise your independent faculty of choice, without constraint, fear of being gunned down or locked up.

Who's not judgemental?

So it's okay to call me judgemental for telling you to find practical use for your God-given conscience and to avoid being weak in morals, but you're not judgmental for calling me "judgemental", right? 

Hamna nay ndohay na deh!!!! But I guess that's the beginning of the end of intelligent civilisation for us.

We have unfortunately become a people who define terms anyhow they favour us; mostly for partisan or controversial purposes, but also to appear affectedly proper or just for the heck of it.

Top on the list of terms being selfishly perverted these days are: 'extremism', 'intolerance' and 'prejudice'...and if you live where I live, you may want to add the terms 'patriotism' and 'youth' to your list 

Psychological warfare

If this annoys or irritates anyone, I am sincerely sorry; but really, I have to ask because I am getting sick and tired of being sick and tired of accepting hypocrisy in the name of tolerance. 

C'mon, why should an entire ummah of decent Muslims be obliged to apologise for the crimes of al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boka Haram, the Taliban or any other Muslim-looking ego serving group? Isn't it sufficient that we've denounced their acts?

Why are other systems of faith conveniently absolved and not blamed for the actions of non-Islamic terrorists like the LRA, NLFT, the Army of God, CSA, the Israeli Army and the many anti-Muslim terrorists in Burma and India?

What sort of psychological warfare is this? Or is it a case of a wrong being a wrong only when it is committed by people who do not look like us, or who do not share our beliefs? Why can't we bite the damn bullet and resolve these issues as common threats? Why do we keep treating the beard, hijab and turban as badges of terror rather than religious customs? Why are we bent on creating a cluster fuck of confusion?

Why do we condone Muslim targeted bigotry, but find it stupid when Muslims genuinely talk about things that aren't conformable to morality, law and justice? Why is it okay to celebrate the rulings of a Supreme Court but crude to obey the commands of a Supreme God?
