Why Formula 1? The Speed Merchants Are Back.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

How are you doing? Despite the absence of comments and very little tags, the counter is showing pretty good response. So, there are people reading my blog but no one has anything so say. Interesting…

To the topic of the post, Formula 1 is getting nearer. Starts on the 12th of March in Bahrain. The teams are getting ready with their new cars to give us their best for another year. I have to say that Formula 1 is a big part of my life, not a fan of football, rugby, cricket, American Idol, Survivor, Smallville, Desperate Housewives nor ice creams. For those who know me, they know that I am a true McLaren supporter (since 1998), started with Mika Hakkinen till Kimi Raikkonen.

McLaren has very beautiful cars. Thiers has been the most beautiful ever since I started watching F1. And, latest the MP4-21 is probably the greatest looking of all cars ever made. The following pictures are not drawings; they are photographic images of the actual car. Enjoy! Well, blews me away. If it is as fast as it looks, it'll be a good season for me.

Why the cartoons are made such a fuss?

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
I was typing the above sentence in Microsoft Word 2003, and the greetings are underlined red saying that I have misspelled these words. The best greeting that a man could ever use are known to them as just some misspelled words. Interesting...

Lately there is a big fuss about the cartoons with the purpose to insult the “Greatest Man Ever Lived” in the world. He is the man that Muslims choose to love more than they love themself. The man that had brought the only way of life that is accepted by the Creator of the Heavens and Earth.

In Malaysia alone, the Sarawak Tribune’s permit to print, sell, circulate and operate was revoked by the government. And throughout the world, anywhere where Muslims live, there are protests and rejection towards such cartoons. An editor of a newspaper made a statement, saying that it is hard for fools to understand such cartoons. Maybe some are thinking that Muslim’s are a little too sensitive about this issue. Since the Christians accept such jokes on their prophet, Isa (Jesus), why can’t Muslims do the same?

There is a story that I heard during the Jumaat prayers few years back. It goes like this.
Once there was a Jew who went to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and inquired about his prophetness. He asked whether the prophet could stand with one leg. Then, he asked whether He could stand by lifting both legs. Then, he laughed at the prophet teasing him of not being able to do so. The Prophet Muhammad (Salallahualiwassallam) asked the Jew to meet Umar Al-Khattab and tell him what happened here. Well, the Jew went and did as told; after listening to the story Umar's reaction was to drew his sword and slay that Jew off his head.

This is how sensitive we should be when it comes to our prophet. We must make him our role model and defend his name. No jokes about the prophet, this goes to everyone. Friends, close friends, Muslims, Non-Muslims or anybody you could ever be!

Why So Sorry...

Assalamualaikum To everyone.

I am deeply sorry for not writing much lately. I have a lot to say, but no one in Malaysia is willing to provide me with appropriate internet connection. Haha.

Till 24th February 2006, my posts would be slow. Sorry.

Hope to see you all soon. Byeoooo.
