Not sure if I am stupik or what.. Sometimes I just can't understand..

I am refering to the lady who was sentensed to be whipped and she wanted it to be whipped publicly, for drinking beer. Her offence was drinking beer. Drinking beer! DRINKING BEER!

Now, my question.

Is drinking beer a crime? Yes, it's forbidden by her religion, but, is it a crime? If her religion disallowed it, then let God deals with her when her time is up. Telling lies and taking bribes is forbidden by the religion as well. Do we see anyone whipped publicly for telling lies and taking bribes?

Theft/robbery/rapes/murder/etc are forbids by religion and by country law as well. It's fair to punish the offender. But drinking beer? I know police will arrest muslim who is not fasting during ramadhan. Again, is ponteng puasa a crime? Let's God deal with them! Who are we to judge another person for not doing things according to religious law?

I am not a religious scholar but I know there is a verse in the bible that says:

And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." - John 8:7

We are living amongst hypocrites and God wannabes.

Adios.

How crappy.

Names vs Names

Recently I have a friend who converted to Muslim as she is about to marry a Malay guy. So, she changed her name to a Malay name, keeping her surname at the back.

I was thinking. How come chinese need to adopt a malay (or muslim?) name when converted to muslim but I have some malay friends who name their kids Daniel, Ian, Aaron etc?

I mean what is the significance or the ruling of names for muslim? Is there any? I have a malay friend in Spore who dropped the word 'binti' on the names of his daughters. Can or not ah in Malaysia?

Let say Razak got a son, and he decided to drop the word 'bin' in the name. He name his son Daniel. So, his son will be called Daniel Razak. Then later Daniel married and got a daughter and he name his daughter Pricilla. So, his daughter will be called Pricilla Daniel?

So, next time Pricilla Daniel is a malay and Nuraini Abdullah is a chinese?

Confusing doe sei!

How crappy..

Adios.

We Are Damn Proud Of You

Reading the newspaper this morning about a new hero really makes all of us proud.

This is Mr Khai.rul whatever.



His achievement is delivering the pro-ISA memorandum to the palace. And he achieved it without any problem.

Way to go man! You manage to geth through the high security of the army/police/SDU. You make us proud!

By the way, just curious. Mr Khai.rul whatever, what is the relevancy of the ISA and the mempertahankan hak whatever on your T-shirt? Got jive ah both issues?

On a separate note, just watched Johnny Depp's Public Enemy. Quite good the movie.

How crappy.

Adios.

ps: initially i wanna put mr khai.rul's pic here due to his heroism. but on second thought, why waste bandwidth, right?
