Fatwa Council exercising phwoarrrs!!

with one comment

You know they have enough to eat and more time on their hands than the universe allows when these oldy-doody men come up with shits like:

I ban your YOGA!

I ban you TOMBOI!

I ban you BLACK METAL!

i SAID! DON’T QUESTION OUR CREDIBILITY!!

buut….buuuuut…. if you read things like this carefully…

Q: So, this fatwa has not been gazetted?

A: This is only at the national muzakarah stage. Most fatwas are not gazetted.

Usually, we look at what the subject is. If it is a fatwa that involves aqidah (Islamic doctrine), it is gazetted. This is because it requires follow-up action by the authorities, especially with deviationist teachings, or extremist or militant movements, as these involve issues of security and will need legal action.

But not all fatwas are gazetted. In fact, not all fatwas have to be gazetted.

Q: But in this case?

A: The gazetting of this fatwa is up to the discretion of the State. We prefer to look at it as an issue of social ill that we can overcome through dakwah (propagation of Islam through words and action) and education.

There are already provisions in the law for cases that have gone to the point of sexual crimes – such as being an active lesbian.

This decision was only just recently made. The process of making a fatwa is quite unique. The national fatwa council is a council that is appointed by the Council of Rulers. It’s members are the muftis of all States and five experts who are recognised by Jakim and appointed by the Council of Rulers.

If it is a national issue, we will discuss it and then standardise the fatwa at the national level. But for it to be an official fatwa depends on the religious authorities in the respective states.

Q: So, are there any states that want to gazette this fatwa?

A: You’ll have to ask the respective state religious authorities.

But in our opinion, this is a social ill, whereby there are many other ways in which to address it (other than legal). Like using wisdom and harmony.”

What the above quoted passage means is that:

Nobody has to give a damn to what shitfucks they say because they cannot take legal action.

But coming from my 22-yrs experience of staying in Malaysia, they are still quite powerful. Haih… if we got more ppl who have their own minds (who think for themselves and not led by the nose by some so-called self-important religiously upright ppl) we probably won’t be the butt of jokes internationally.

Imagine, somewhere in Copenhagen, somebody wakes up, cup of coffee beside lappie and guffaws when he reads this headline: Malaysian Fatwa Council Bans Yoga for Muslims, Star Reports

And his response? “Well what’s next? They gonna stop wearing pants?”

Oh wait, hampir…hampir….. actually girls CANNOT wear pants here.

=D

Check out if u too free. But the essence is that both our PM and DPM will both be away from the country for two days, sometime this month.

You know wat, standing tradition or not… there’s no difference if they’re here. Them monkeys and bigfoots are still gonna call each other names, and nothing will be done properly anyway. There  are such things as roaming and internet in Uzbekistan and Peru ma.. right?

Phew… And now, why this Lim Kit Siang sibuk wanna question this? Maybe anwar could throw a coup … it’s the greatest chance he’ll ever get I tell you.

Big load of bullshit.

without comments

The woman in the little box is condemning some old, probably(can’t see it, huge headgear)  balding some guy about Islam being backward and all about violence.

I say it’s bullshit. To the part where she made a comparison about other ppl from other religion not using violence to get ideas across? Bull.shit.

If you’ve read enough news, you’ll probably realize that every religion has their black sheep. And that Islam has been taking more blows because they are being attacked by the biggest mother of all media, the American media –CNN and all those ruthless news vultures, waiting for some Islamic jihadist to fuck up and they’ll blow the story up(minute-to-minute updates) so that the rest of the world will get enough of the words ‘TERRORIST’ and ‘BIN LADEN’. Yes, you do realize they link everything back to the Osama right?

Funny, I’m actually saying that a Middle-eastern feminist is ignorant. Well, being all worked-up but not knowing where to go sucks, innit? Many might agree with her, seeing that what she said is partly true and accepted by most(because, surprise, surprise, we get news from the western side most of the time), but take a step back and you’ll will see that it’s not the religion, it’s the people who just like to ram their values down other people’s throats.

Surely, you have heard of christian fundamentalists and buddhist monk mobs?

Good God…

Spent the whole day watching Friends.

I’m so booooooooorrrrreeeedddd~~~~~

Well, that’s what you get when you let your ass win. Yes, that ass wants to dock in font of the computer and not up and about getting fresh air. Omg, that Paramore song… the one that goes “that’s what you get when you let your hearts wins Oooo Woh u WOOOOOO OOO~

IZ STUK IN MAH HED!!

shit! dammit.

On another note… interesting news from efforts trolling in cyberspace include the mob action in Jln Loke Yew yesterday 3 a.m. Where a driver and 3 others in an Iswara (the hatchback called saga, the new one, which is mind boggling because there is a new Saga and that the Saga here looks more like an Iswara, hence I call it Iswara) were confronted and hit by a mob, consisting mainly of Mat Rempits and other infuriated drivers. Apparently, the ah beng was squeezing through a jam, scratch some car’s side, left and then later, hit the rear of another car. Well, the traffic jam itself was caused by another car accident by another crazy asshole who U-turned after beating a traffic light, drifting, and sapu-ed 4 mat rempits, leaving one dead. Anyway, the Iswara, the people in it were so badly beaten that one fell unconscious. Two of them were ah-lians by the way, also beaten up. Probably back from clubbing, all high and wondering why are there people smashing their windscreen and clobbering their heads with helmets. While I do not condone the way the ah beng drove, I am more disgusted by the mob taking things into their own hands and winning by numbers.

Another news was of Honda’s new thingie that helps walking. Yes, google the video please. I’m to lazy to go dig through my browser history for you. And if you look closely, it looks like it something is growing out from the nether region of the model demonstrating that device. I dunno, they couldn’t have started the concept by another approach? Maybe from the hips, the sides? Ahem, Forrest Gumps’ leg braces, hello? At least they don’t look like ball massagers, while one goes on about, walking. Anyway, Nobody wants to be caught dead wearing that thing. I’m pretty sure of that.

And then there were some things I don’t understand. Among others, why did I decide to stay so many days HERE? Good God. You know wat I had for lunch? Onions, well, caramelized onions with pasta sauce. And scrambled eggs and slices of bread. BECAUSE IT’S TOO FREAKING LONELY TO GO OUT TAPAU, UNDER HOT SUN SOMEMORE. And I peed smelling onions. Oh, is that too much information? Sry

You could say ‘at least it’s healthy food, and not some ajinomoto-laden maggie mee’. But screw that, I’m sick of tasteless food, sick of crap that I have to concoct because I’m too lazy to go out tapau. Wish I was back at home, eating proper meals at proper times. And then you know wat? I usually feel sick after eating weird food, and watching Friends feeling sick just don’t really cut it.

And then I start wondering … what am I gonna do for tomorrow’s Lunch?!!!

Omigod, kill me naw…

Sunday morning coffee high

with 4 comments

Well, I’d rather have a big breakfast with pancakes, bananas, and maybe sausages and eggs but there’s only so much a rice cooker can do without accumulating a crust of charred flour because it’s a sticking (as opposed to non-stick) base. But it’s ok, there’s good coffee. And awesome orange marmalade and butter.

These days, I should to put myself to test, how much drama, stress or bullshit I can actually handle.

I’m gonna have to stir up some trouble one of these days =D Hahahah… Like Pink’s song that goes “Nanana~na~nana~na I wanna start a fight”. I keep hearing all sorts of drama going on but nothing really ever happens to me. I’m bored, as always.

Wait, there’s also the possibility that I’m bored because I’m too lazy to move my ass to do something useful. Damn. Oh, well, watching ‘Friends’ (all 10 glorious seasons in my computer =D) will take my mind of these nonsense, I hope.

Live and Let Live

with 4 comments

Whenever I think that someone is being parasitic, like keep taking but never giving back, I always think to myself that it is okay, it means that I can treat them the same at the end of the day. But when the end of the day finally comes, I don’t always have the chance to reciprocate because I’m always too out of touch with them and that I cannot bring myself to owe something to somebody not close to me.

But I’m generally alright if anybody keeps taking but never giving me back, just as long as those are not my limbs being taken away. Just that I’ll bitch a little. But ultimately, I believe that it’s going to come back to me maybe in other ways.

And that I might be deluded enough to think that I’m the only side giving made me hesitant to be bitching too much about it. Yeah, because I’m fussy and selfish too, most of the time and may have unknowingly put others in a spot in the process. That means I do ‘take’.

That being said, I still dunno what will become of my RM 150 in-campus ’salah parking’ summon that is being appealed against right now.

Two more papers and then ONE MORE SEMESTER until I freeload for months!! Whee!!
