Of course, they were asking for it - by Mark Steel
Posted by Rexraihan at 6:37 PM 0 commentsOf course, they were asking for it
It's time the Israeli government's PR team made the most of its talents, and became available for hire. Then whenever a nutcase marched into a shopping mall in somewhere like Wisconsin and gunned down a selection of passers-by, they could be on hand to tell the world's press "The gunman regrets the loss of life but did all he could to avoid violence." Then various governments would issue statements saying "All we know is a man went berserk with an AK 47, and next to him there's a pile of corpses, so until we know the facts we can't pass judgement on what took place."
To strengthen their case the Israelis have released a photo of the weapons they found on board, (which amount to some knives and tools and wooden sticks) that the naive might think you'd expect to find on any ship, but the more astute will recognise as exactly what you'd carry if you were planning to defeat the Israeli army. It's an armoury smaller than you'd find in the average toolshed in a garden in Cirencester, which goes to show the Israelis had better destroy Cirencester quickly as an essential act of self-defence.
It's a shame they weren't more imaginative, as they could have said "We also discovered a deadly barometer, a ship's compass, which could not only be frisbeed at someone's head but even had markings to help the assailant know which direction he was throwing it, and a set of binoculars that could easily be converted into a ray-gun."
That would be as logical as the statement from the Israeli PM's spokesman – "We made every possible effort to avoid this incident." Because the one tiny thing they forgot to do to avoid this incident was not send in armed militia from helicopters in the middle of the night and shoot people. I must be a natural at this sort of technique because I often go all day without climbing off a helicopter and shooting people, and I'm not even making every possible effort. Politicians and commentators worldwide repeat a version of this line. They're aware a nation has sent its militia to confront people carrying provisions for the desperate, in the process shooting several of them dead, and yet they angrily blame the dead ones. One typical headline yesterday read "Activists got what they wanted – confrontation." It's an attitude so deranged it deserves to be registered as a psychosis, something like "Reverse Slaughter Victim Confusion Syndrome".
Israel and its supporters claim that Viva Palestina, made up of people who collect the donated food, cement and items for providing basic amenities such as toilets, and transport them to Gaza, wanted the violence all along. Because presumably they must have been thinking "Hezbollah couldn't beat them, but that's because unlike us they didn't have a ballcock and several boxes of plum tomatoes".
One article told us the flotilla was full of "Thugs spoiling for a confrontation", and then accused them of being "Less about aid and more about PR. Indeed, on board was Swedish novelist Henning Mankell." So were they thugs or about PR? Did they have a thugs' section and a PR quarter, or did they all muck in, the novelist diverting the soldiers with his characterisation while the thugs attacked them with a lethal spirit level?
But some defenders of Israel are so blind to what happens in front of them there's nothing at all they wouldn't jump to defend. Israel could blow up a cats home and within five minutes they'd be yelling "How do we know the cats weren't smuggling semtex in their fur for Hamas?"
If this incident had been carried about by Iran, or anyone we were trying to portray as an enemy, so much condemnation would have been spewed out it would have created a vast cloud of outrage that airlines would be unable to fly through.
But as it's Israel, most governments offer a few diplomatic words that blame no one, but accept the deaths are "regrettable". They might as well have picked any random word from the dictionary, so the news would tell us "William Hague described the deaths as 'hexagonal'", and a statement from the US senate said "It's all very confusing. In future let's hope they make every effort to avoid a similar incident."

Jenis-jenis suami
Posted by Rexraihan at 5:24 PM 9 comments“Diperlihatkan kepadaku Neraka, sesungguhnya kebanyakan penghuninya adalah wanita, mereka itu mengkufuri”. Lalu Baginda SAW ditanya: apakah mereka itu mengkufuri Allah? Rasulullah SAW menjawab, “mereka itu mengkufuri suami (atau nikmat-nikmat berumahtangga), dan mereka mengkufuri Ihsan. Apabila kamu melakukan kebaikan kepada salah seorang daripada mereka sepanjang tahun, tetapi kemudiannya dia melihat sesuatu yang tidak kena padamu, nescaya dia akan berkata (kepada suaminya): aku tidak nampak satu apa pun kebaikan padamu!” [hadith riwayat al-Bukhari]

Rokok II
Posted by Rexraihan at 9:35 PM 0 commentsPak long sy (bekas perokok tegar) suatu ketika dahulu.
hasilnya? mak long menghidap barah paru-paru..
Mak long tak hidup lama pun selepas di diagnosed..
pak long sayang sangat mak long..
dulu, Pak long kata, 'pak long yang buat salah, tapi mak long yang terima padah'
kesedihan pak long, Allah shj yang tahu
melihat isteri dikasihi meninggal di pangkuan sendiri..
pak long tak berhenti di situ..
pak long usaha sungguh2 untuk berhenti merokok
katanya 'cukuplah seorang yang disayangi dibunuhnya, no more..'
kini, pak long bukan lagi kaki rokok..
sebaliknya, pak long sudah menjadi kaki surau..
sbb nak berhenti merokok perlukan kekuatan
dan kekuatan itu hanya datang daripada Allah
sy bangga tgk pak long sekarang..
'rokok' telah menjadikan beliau hamba yang taqarrub ila Allah.
pengajaran: buat muslimin yang dikasihi sekalian, jadikanlah usaha berhenti merokok itu, satu hijrah menuju Allah. Allah knows how hard it is, but do believe, Jannah needs to be earned..
Rokok dan epal
Posted by Rexraihan at 9:23 PM 3 commentsDipanjangkan dari yahoo group PPIMI Seorang lelaki bercerita, "Ketika aku melaksanakan solat tahiyyatul masjid, aku mencium bau asap rokok yang menyengat dan mengusik khusyukku. Setelah mengucapkan salam, aku menoleh mencari sumber bau. Aku mendapati seorang lelaki Mesir dengan bibirnya yang hitam. "Aku akan menasihatinya nanti setelah solat," gumamku. Namun, seorang anak kecil berusia sekitar 9 tahun tiba-tiba menghampiri lelaki tersebut. Terjadilah dialog antara mereka berdua. Si anak membuka bicara, "Assalamu'alaikum pakcik. Pakcik dari Mesir?" "Ya pakcik dari Mesir." "Pakcik kenal Syeikh Abdul Hamid Kasyak?" "Ya, pakcik kenal." "Syeikh Jadul Haqq?" "Ya, pakcik kenal." "Syeikh Muhammad Al-Ghazali?" "Ya, pakcik kenal." "Pernah tak pakcik dengar kaset-kaset ceramah dan fatwa mereka?" "Ya, pakcik pernah dengar." "Bukankah mereka semua tu adalah para syeikh (alim ulama') yang mengatakan bahawa rokok tu haram, tapi kenapa pakcik membelinya?" Dengan agak tergagap, lelaki itu menjawab, "Bagi pakcik, rokok tak haram!" "Rokok hukumnya haram, pakcik. Bukankah Allah telah berfirman, 'Dan (Allah) mengharamkan bagi mereka segala yang buruk.' Pakcik ada ke baca bismillah dan ucap alhamdulillah sebelum dan selepas merokok?" tegas anak kecil itu. "Dalam Al-Quran takde ayat yang secara tegas menyatakan bahawa rokok tu haram," sangkal pakcik tu. "Pakcik, rokok tu haram, sebagaimana buah epal juga haram," lanjut si kecil. Lelaki Mesir itu pun mula naik pitam dan berkata, "Buah epal haram? Atas dasar apa kamu menghalalkan dan mengharamkan, wahai anak kecil?" "Cuba pakcik beritahu ayat Al-Quran yang secara tegas menyatakan bahawa epal tu halal," pinta si kecil. Lelaki itu bingung dan diam terpaku. Tidak sanggup lagi dia berbicara. Air matanya tumpah hinggalah ketika iqamat dikumandangkan. Selesai solat, lelaki itu menoleh ke arah anak kecil itu dan berkata, "Nak, pakcik bersumpah demi Allah, pakcik takkan morokok lagi buat selamanya." " alhamdulillah... * Kisah di atas diolah dan dialihkan sedikit ke dalam bahasa melayu. "Athfal Lakin Du'at" karya Nashir Syafi'i... |
