Animal sacrifice to please God is the oldest religious custom in the world. Would almighty mind if a modern Muslim assesses this ritual from pre-Islamic times, studying the grounds why other cultures have abandoned this approach to please him? We are always told that free, independent thinking is encouraged in Islam. So, let’s think what might occur if a modern Muslim objects this ritual, suggesting a less bloody, more peaceful option to share his/her good fortune with the poor?
In keeping with Muslim belief, one day Allah came to the Prophet in his dream and commanded him to sacrifice his only son. Being true Muslim, the Prophet was willing to do so and it impressed Allah. The practice of Qurbani began after that. Now, I would like to share my opinion. We know that Allah knows everything. If Prophet Ibrahim (PBU) was sincere in his devotion and faith, why did Allah have to test it? He could also have found other ways to test Prophet Ibrahim (PBU)’s belief. The story didn’t clarify that God had reasonable doubt about his devotion. Most likely, the story of Prophet Ibrahim (PBU) is a myth.
Is the mythology of Prophet Ibrahim (PBU) so critical that, every year, Muslims must slaughter billions of cattle to commemorate what seems essentially a lowly act of cruelty? In fact, this cruelty seems so unlike Our Allah (We are taught that Allah is kind) that it might even be reasonable to wonder if it was Satan who appeared before Prophet Ibrahim (PBU) initially and, before he would actually kill his son, Allah intervened and threw in the sheep in his place and saved his son. That might externalize the subject, placing that attribute onto Satan that Allah would seem unlikely to possess.
Let’s ask ourselves what might happen if we Muslims develop a universal agreement to adopt an alternative for sharing good fortune with the poor? Why should Muslims wait until Qurbani to divide those, which seems inadequate to distributing to the poor, 1/3 of the meat of the ’sacrificial cow’? What about the balance of the year? Is that enough? Regardless, why must there be only one definition of “sharing our good fortune” in regards to Qurbani, if Muslims are also “free” to think independently?
Isn’t it more a ritual we tag along with no question, flaking our senses of ethics and peace in the manner we seek God’s blessing? What about the right of the animal, too? Could we skip animal slaughter for Qurbani for one year and see what happens? Allah encourages independent thinking from Muslims. We can even receive praise from almighty.
Besides freezing our sanity to the fact that the legends of Prophet Ibrahim (PBU) represents a unkind, autocratic God, who contradicted the claim He knows everything, we also desensitize our young to the vision of blood gushing out of the throat of a dying creature, by making it an essential part of a ritual in Almighty’s name. It justifies cruelty and killing in the name of religion or pacification of Allah. Do we ever question how such early days experience may affect their psyches when they are adults? Islam is touted as the religion of peace. Might there be other, more peaceful and less bloody (from the butchering) ways rich Muslims could share their good fortune with the poor? Might Allah intervene and command us to revert back to animal slaughtering. Ameen.

Guys in long hair!!!!

Well well well….I know it’s not a universal taste but some people need to be more open minded towards men who use long hair because that is not a sign of femininity; on the contrary, I think it is a sign of masculinity and confidence in a man. When I was younger I didn’t mind it, and even though I really don’t even notice guys with their hair whacked short. Long hair shows they care for themselves – not unlike men who work out at the gym to keep their muscles toned. Any guy with long hair gets my instant attention–why I find it exquisitely sexy, especially on a young stud, is beyond me, but I do and always have. I will say that, aesthetically! I like it yeahhhh I like it. Especially long and dark… people who break with social norms are appealing. It’s not about being a rebel or bad boy, but rather being comfortable and confident. They are hot; just look at all the Vikings, Warriors, rock stars and rocker dudes. For me I think that it is partly because a longhaired man is not going to be super ordinary – they aren’t all creative and rebels, but a lot of them are distinctly more interesting (to me) than a man with ordinary conventional short hair. I also think its super hot when the guy is looking like jack sparrow. I just love guys who have enough hair to tangle my fingers through. Lol..But yeah I love long hair on men, as long as it is clean. I just don’t think all guys can pull it off and who don’t, trust me its ugly!!

At a conference titled “Bangladesh-India Economic Relations” Monday Indian Ambassador Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty said around 25,000 of the Bangladeshis who entered India with legal visa every year never returned to Bangladesh. About delays in visa processing, he also made yet another bitter observation that over 80 percent of those who stand in queue in front of the Indian High Commission in Dhaka for visa are “TOUTS AND BROKERS”!!!

He said that he had taken up this issue with the Bangladesh government and the visa procedure would be easier if this group (touts and brokers) could be driven away from the queue. His remarks also triggered criticisms of opposition political parties, former Bangladeshi diplomats and a section of the local media.

However, Dhaka disapproved of his allegation. A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry said that Mr Chakravarty’s observation does not match with the information available with the Bangladesh government. The spokesman came up with the disagreement as government’s attention was drawn to the remarks of the Indian High Commissioner regarding overstay of Bangladeshi nationals in India. ”The Ministry would like to inform all concerned that the information available with the Bangladesh government does not correspond with the observation of the High Commissioner,” the spokesman said, adding Bangladesh has not received any official communication from India in this regard.

The Indian High Commission in Dhaka then explained (!!) that the High Commissioner made the remarks in reply to FBCCI Annisul Huq. It alleged the FBCCI president mentioned that the queue for Indian visa would find a place “in the Guinness Book of World Records”(!!) The IHC clarified that the High Commissioner was highlighting a well-known problem of ‘touts and brokers’ forcibly occupying the visa queue, thereby displacing and harassing genuine visa applicants. The IHC rejected allegation of complicity between ‘touts and brokers’ and officials of the High Commission. Such allegations have been made before and have been found to be baseless and malicious!!

Today (July 5, 2009) a clash took place approximately at 11:30 a.m. when the police stopped the members of the organization named ‘Lamp Post’ from entering the Indian high commission in Gulshan region. Quite a lot of people were wounded when they clashed with the police outside the Indian high commission to protest the construction of Tipaimukh dam. Police charged with rods to scatter them. Two protesters were under arrest from the spot.

As said by Indian High Commission, “Some imaginary experts in Dhaka having no basic data were protesting against the project!! India has shared information (!), but the protestors do not have even the basic information and there is no international law or treaty to bar India from constructing the dam to produce electricity!!!!” Don’t you think it’s weird? Let us come forward and form strong movement against the dam construction otherwise Bangladesh would turn into desert.

Baby Duck USB :)

Turn a miniature rubber duck and a normal usb into a cute pen drive. To begin you will need….

  1. 1 tiny rubber duck
  2. 1 usb of any size
  3. 1 knife
  4. Enough “glue” to fill the duck

Step 1: Cut the Duck

Make an incision at the back (front would work too) of the duck just big enough to slide the flash in.

Step 2: Cement the Flash inside

Glue the flash in somehow it’ll just slide out when you yank the duck out of the usb port.

Step 3: Plug it in

After it’s dried all that’s left is plugging it in.
