=========================================================================

Q: Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq?
A: Because they had weapons of mass destruction.
Q: But the inspectors didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction.
A: That’s because the Iraqis were hiding them.
Q: And that’s why we invaded Iraq?
A: Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections.
Q: But after we invaded them, we STILL didn’t find any weapons of mass
destruction, did we?
A: That’s because the weapons are so well hidden. Don’t worry, we’ll find
something, probably right before the 2004 election.
Q: Why did Iraq want all those weapons of mass destruction?
A: To use them in a war, silly.
Q: I’m confused. If they had all those weapons that they planned to use in
a war, then why didn’t they use any of those weapons when we went to war with them?
A: Well, obviously they didn’t want anyone to know they had those weapons, so they chose to die by the thousands rather than defend themselves.
Q: That doesn’t make sense. Why would they choose to die if they had all
those big weapons with which they could have fought back?
A: It’s a different culture. It’s not supposed to make sense.
Q: I don’t know about you, but I don’t think they had any of those weapons our government said they did.
A: Well, you know, it doesn’t matter whether or not they had those
weapons. We had another good reason to invade them anyway.
Q: And what was that?
A: Even if Iraq didn’t have weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein
was a cruel dictator, which is another good reason to invade another
country.
Q: Why? What does a cruel dictator do that makes it OK to invade his
country?
A: Well, for one thing, he tortured his own people.
Q: Kind of like what they do in China?
A: Don’t go comparing China to Iraq. China is a good economic competitor, where millions of people work for slave wages in sweatshops to make U.S. corporations richer.
Q: So if a country lets its people be exploited for American corporate
gain, it’s a good country, even if that country tortures people?
A: Right.
Q: Why were people in Iraq being tortured?
A: For political crimes, mostly, like criticizing the government. People
who criticized the government in Iraq were sent to prison and tortured.
Q: Isn’t that exactly what happens in China?
A: I told you, China is different.
Q: What’s the difference between China and Iraq?
A: Well, for one thing, Iraq was ruled by the Ba’ath party, while China is
Communist.
Q: Didn’t you once tell me Communists were bad?
A: No, just Cuban Communists are bad.
Q: How are the Cuban Communists bad?
A: Well, for one thing, people who criticize the government in Cuba are
sent to prison and tortured.
Q: Like in Iraq?
A: Exactly.
Q: And like in China, too?
A: I told you, China’s a good economic competitor. Cuba, on the other
hand, is not.
Q: How come Cuba isn’t a good economic competitor?
A: Well, you see, back in the early 1960s, our government passed some laws that made it illegal for Americans to trade or do any business with Cuba until they stopped being Communists and started being capitalists like us.
Q: But if we got rid of those laws, opened up trade with Cuba, and started
doing business with them, wouldn’t that help the Cubans become
capitalists?
A: Don’t be a smart-ass.
Q: I didn’t think I was being one.
A: Well, anyway, they also don’t have freedom of religion in Cuba.
Q: Kind of like China and the Falun Gong movement?
A: I told you, stop saying bad things about China. Anyway, Saddam Hussein came to power through a military coup, so he’s not really a legitimate leader anyway.
Q: What’s a military coup?
A: That’s when a military general takes over the government of a country
by force, instead of holding free elections like we do in the United States.
Q: Didn’t the ruler of Pakistan come to power by a military coup?
A: You mean General Pervez Musharraf? Uh, yeah, he did, but Pakistan is
our friend.
Q: Why is Pakistan our friend if their leader is illegitimate?
A: I never said Pervez Musharraf was illegitimate.
Q: Didn’t you just say a military general who comes to power by forcibly
overthrowing the legitimate government of a nation is an illegitimate
leader?
A: Only Saddam Hussein. Pervez Musharraf is our friend, because he helped us invade Afghanistan.
Q: Why did we invade Afghanistan?
A: Because of what they did to us on September 11th.
Q: What did Afghanistan do to us on September 11th?
A: Well, on September 11th, nineteen men - fifteen of them Saudi Arabians - hijacked four airplanes and flew three of them into buildings in New York and Washington, killing 3,000 innocent people.
Q: So how did Afghanistan figure into all that?
A: Afghanistan was where those bad men trained, under the oppressive rule of the Taliban.
Q: Aren’t the Taliban those bad radical Islamics who chopped off people’s
heads and hands?
A: Yes, that’s exactly who they were. Not only did they chop off people’s
heads and hands, but they oppressed women, too.
Q: Didn’t the Bush administration give the Taliban 43 million dollars back
in May of 2001?
A: Yes, but that money was a reward because they did such a good job
fighting drugs.
Q: Fighting drugs?
A: Yes, the Taliban were very helpful in stopping people from growing
opium poppies.
Q: How did they do such a good job?
A: Simple. If people were caught growing opium poppies, the Taliban would have their hands and heads cut off.
Q: So, when the Taliban cut off people’s heads and hands for growing
flowers, that was OK, but not if they cut people’s heads and hands off for
other reasons?
A: Yes. It’s OK with us if radical Islamic fundamentalists cut off people’s hands for growing flowers, but it’s cruel if they cut off people’s hands for stealing bread.
Q: Don’t they also cut off people’s hands and heads in Saudi Arabia?
A: That’s different. Afghanistan was ruled by a tyrannical patriarchy that
oppressed women and forced them to wear burqas whenever they were in
public, with death by stoning as the penalty for women who did not comply.
Q: Don’t Saudi women have to wear burqas in public, too?
A: No, Saudi women merely wear a traditional Islamic body covering.
Q: What’s the difference?
A: The traditional Islamic covering worn by Saudi women is a modest yet
fashionable garment that covers all of a woman’s body except for her eyes and fingers. The burqa, on the other hand, is an evil tool of patriarchal oppression that covers all of a woman’s body except for her eyes and fingers.
Q: It sounds like the same thing with a different name.
A: Now, don’t go comparing Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are
our friends.
Q: But I thought you said 15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11th were
from Saudi Arabia.
A: Yes, but they trained in Afghanistan.
Q: Who trained them?
A: A very bad man named Osama bin Laden.
Q: Was he from Afghanistan?
A: Uh, no, he was from Saudi Arabia too. But he was a bad man, a very bad man.
Q: I seem to recall he was our friend once.
A: Only when we helped him and the mujahadeen repel the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan back in the 1980s.
Q: Who are the Soviets? Was that the Evil Communist Empire Ronald Reagan talked about?
A: There are no more Soviets. The Soviet Union broke up in 1990 or
thereabouts, and now they have elections and capitalism like us. We call
them Russians now.
Q: So the Soviets - I mean, the Russians - are now our friends?
A: Well, not really. You see, they were our friends for many years after
they stopped being Soviets, but then they decided not to support our
invasion of Iraq, so we’re mad at them now. We’re also mad at the French
and the Germans because they didn’t help us invade Iraq either.
Q: So the French and Germans are evil, too?
A: Not exactly evil, but just bad enough that we had to rename French
fries and French toast to Freedom Fries and Freedom Toast.
Q: Do we always rename foods whenever another country doesn’t do what we want them to do?
A: No, we just do that to our friends. Our enemies, we invade.
Q: But wasn’t Iraq one of our friends back in the 1980s?
A: Well, yeah. For a while.
Q: Was Saddam Hussein ruler of Iraq back then?
A: Yes, but at the time he was fighting against Iran, which made him our
friend, temporarily.
Q: Why did that make him our friend?
A: Because at that time, Iran was our enemy.
Q: Isn’t that when he gassed the Kurds?
A: Yeah, but since he was fighting against Iran at the time, we looked the
other way, to show him we were his friend.
Q: So anyone who fights against one of our enemies automatically becomes our friend?
A: Most of the time, yes.
Q: And anyone who fights against one of our friends is automatically an
enemy?
A: Sometimes that’s true, too. However, if American corporations can
profit by selling weapons to both sides at the same time, all the better.
Q: Why?
A: Because war is good for the economy, which means war is good for
America. Also, since God is on America’s side, anyone who opposes war is a godless unAmerican Communist. Do you understand now why we attacked Iraq?
Q: I think so. We attacked them because God wanted us to, right?
A: Yes.
Q: But how did we know God wanted us to attack Iraq?
A: Well, you see, God personally speaks to George W. Bush and tells him
what to do.
Q: So basically, what you’re saying is that we attacked Iraq because
George W. Bush hears voices in his head?
A: Yes! You finally understand how the world works. Now close your eyes,
make yourself comfortable, and go to sleep. Good night.
Q: Good night, Daddy.

Butchering people intoxicates Taliban

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Dulu waktu gw masih ngaji…. ustad gw pernah cerita bahwa hukuman ini belum pernah dilaksanakan selama masa Rasullah, karena beliau selalu lebih mengutamakan SISTEM NEGARA dan kata MENGAPA, daripada langsung mengkultus perbuatan itu dikarenakan karena kesalahan orang itu sendiri. contoh simple: kucing gw yang rutin gw kasih makan selalu patuh saat dibilang HUSHH agar menjauh dari meja makan dari pada kucing liar yang sering mampir kerumah, selalu tidak benar2 pergi sebelum ada orang yang dekat. pertanyaan: kucing gw lebih bertaqwa (heheh kucing bertaqwa, yg bener aja :D)?..

kadang sedih melihat kebrutalan yang dilakukan dengan kedok agama yang saya anut…

————————————————————————————————-

On 24th April 1998 a women accused of adultery and a youth accused of robbery were punished in Kabul Sport Stadium. Taliban radio invited Kabul’s resident for the ’show’ but less than expected showed up. The number of spectators were not more than 5000, bulk of which were made up of Pakistani and Afghani Taliban. In order to make their "show more ceremonious" they had dragged along about 200 of their women folk. More than 20% of the spectators comprised of children and youth of under 14.

The heads of Taliban started with speeches, at around 2:30 PM, about the benefits of enforcing shariat (Islamic law) which nobody listened to. At around 3 PM the charges on Meena daughter of Meer Aqaa resident of Jabul Saraaj was read who was later flogged a 100 times. The accused was wrapped in an old chadarry and was escorted by two tall chadarry wearing guards to the center of the ground.

One of the Taliban executioner stood at the left side of the accused and throw 50 lashes on her back and then moved to her right side and throw another 50 lashes on her back. The women’s head, who appeared to have lost consciousness slid to the shoulder of the one of the guards. Finally she was thrown into a car and taken away.

The second accused was Zabi Ullah son of Noor Muhammad resident of Shakar Dara. On the crime of theft of medicine worth 35 million Afghani his hand had to be cut off. He was laid down on stadium ground. Four doctors who had covered their faces for not to be known started butchering him. A short while later his right hand was cut from the wrest and fell to the ground. A Talib who appeared to be intoxicated by the sight and smell of blood picked the cut hand by the small finger and while blood was dripping from it, he hold it to the spectators. He was holding the cut hand by his right hand and was cheerfully waving his left hand while shouting in Urdu "ye haat dheko" (look at this hand). The spectacle of Pakistani Talib lasted about 5 minutes. The youth whose hand has been severed was thrown into an ambulance and taken away. You could see the hatred, pain and rage in the eyes of the people.

One could hear such words spoken by the people leaving "poverty must have pushed him stealing medicine", "why Pakistani mullahs left their own country and enforce "shariat" in our country", " Islam has not said that if some one steal because of unemployment and poverty to cut his hands off", " for Taliban there is not enough disabled in Afghanistan", " first provide people with jobs and then if people steal for fun should be punished", "children were allowed to see the show as these will be tomorrows religious scholar and they should know about butchering and bloodshed", "the doctors who cut the hands were from Pakistan", "people should not come to these shows, people should boycott it", "Pakistani mullahs are directly interfering in our affairs, we should teach them the lessons we taught to the Russians", "the chadarry wearing guard were not women but Taliban members", " this show are for creating horror among people not to enforce divine orders" and…

bukannya gak percaya, cuma… GAK BISA DI KONFIRMASI

Monday, October 17th, 2005

bukannya gak mau percaya kamu ya teman, tapi… buat apa sih percaya hal yang gak bisa ditanya kebenarannya/dikonfirmasi. cuma bikin bingung aja. pertanyaan kayak: "bener gak sih kamu nilep duitnya dia?" "bener gak sih sebetulnya itu idenya dia?" "bener gak sih ….?",dll. cuma bikin geger aja, malah bisa2 gw yang dikira adu domba. BULLSHIT bgt deh!! lebih baik lo simpen kata2mu yang gak bisa di konfirmasi. berita yang gak bisa dikonfirmasi kalo di denger dengan serius cuma seperti kamu mendengar serius hal yang ADA KEMUNGKINAN FITNAH. apapun yang kamu katakan, selama itu GAK BISA DIKONFIRMASI. sori aja klo gw malas percaya… apalagi berita yg ngerendahin mutu orang, ninggiin mutu sendiri. kan gw bukan anak kecil lagi. penting gak sih percaya sama kabar yang gak bisa dikonfirmasi? boleh sih. tapi 50% aja, kurang lebihnya tergantung hubungan kamu dengan dia. dan seberapa masuk akal cerita itu…

ekspresi suci

nyanyinya… nyanyian hati…

tarinya… tarian jiwa…

jika ekspresi suci bicara, maka hanya hati dan jiwa tujuannya.

tanpa ekspresi suci, seniman hanyalah budak.

katanya puasa itu…

Sunday, October 9th, 2005

katanya sih puasa itu salah satunya untuk kita agar ikut merasakan penderitaan kaum yang kelaparan. tau pendapatku?! CUKUP KONYOL untuk melihat itu sebagai salah satu alasan. apa mereka makan 2x sehari? dan keduanya makanan yang mengenyangkan, sehat, dan layak ? plus vitamin? minum cukup di malam hari? berada di tempat yang nyaman di siang hari?

kemaren sore aku aktifitas yang agak berat biarpun puasa. tetep bisa ketawa2 dan gak pake acara lemas. mungkin kalo yang kelaparan beneran bakalan pinsan mungkin ya… soooo bicara makan 2x sehari buat ngerasaan jadinya orang kelaparan? konyol. cabut aja tu dari bahan ceramah rohani.

Bulan Ramadhan

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

enaknya di bulan Ramadhan itu, bisa flashback ke bulan2 ramadhan yang lalu, kisah2nya, jadi bulan ini buatku seperti nostalgia, yang lucu, yang menyebalkan, yang aneh. dari jaman SD sampe sekarang. dan karena tanggalan Hijriah ini selalu maju kira2 10 hari dari pada tahun Masehi(aku bisa salah hitung, tgl koreksi kalo salah ya). maka dengan umur manusia normal sekarang Insya Allah bisa merasakan bulan Ramadhan di setiap musim.

pernah dulu waktu SD waktu terawih di masjid komplek dan gara2 ada anak iseng yang selalu iseng mukulin belakang paha aku waktu lagi sholat (mungkin maksud dia pengen belagak preman ya ganggunin orang eh anak2 :)), akhirnya aku batal sholat dan lebih memilih menjegal itu anak ampe jatuh tersungkur di dalam mesjid, lumayan keras, kayaknya beberapa orang penasaran suara apaan tuh, jahat ya… atau pernah sama temen naik sepeda kayuh goncengan jam 2an ke pantai pp 2×40mnt dan setelahnya ada yang batal puasa, aku. hehe2. ada beberapa lagi, cuma paling teman2 yang lain punya cerita yang lebih menarik.
