60 years (or probably longer) and still counting….that’s how long the suffering of the Palestinian people have been…this past two weeks has since seen a number of things unravel. Firstly, an idiot sniper did something silly to humiliate Muslims in Iraq
p/s: a quake recently felt in sabah was too close a call…emm..Praying hard that Malaysia
What really struck me these days are the various events that have been occuring throughout the globe……for instance the catastrophic & disastrous cyclone in Myanmar Myanmar Texas
p/s: food glorious food..no more.
A couple of days ago, I watched BBC’s HardTalk which aired the interview with Tun Mahathir…While I may not agree with everything he does, I still admire his guts to voice out against the West….He has not lost any of his flair of answering spontaneous questions like the ones posted to him during the interview... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pepper…this little gastronomic commodity is a marvelous spice and was once (and probably still is..) an important trading commodity dated way back centuries ago…..you can get em’ in various colours; black, white, red and green…..
Some may be aware on how these various assortment of peppers are actually manufactured…. recently there was a story of how a green pepper and white pepper were brought from different locations and met up to be packaged in a manufacturing plant…from the outside both peppers were different in colour and probably taste……..the vast difference in colour, have not prevented em’ from expressing a similar distinct taste that would brighten and spice up any dishes…the moment these peppers meet up, the spicy taste of the peppers simply tickle the taste buds and brings a smile to any pepper-eating homo sapiens….so, however different the peppers may look, they still bought about a wonderful ending, i.e. enhancing dishes and tickling the taste buds…
Crapping...-the end-
To be honest ive not heard of this Islamic scholar before..but one day , by chance, i bumped into a book he wrote entitled, "Signs of the Last Day in the Modern Age"...
Who is this scholar?
He was born in the Caribbean island of Trinidad in 1942 from parents whose ancestors had migrated from India as indentured labourers. He studied Islam, Philosophy and International Relations at several universities and institutions of higher learning. Among them are al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt, the Institute of International Relations of the University of the West Indies in Trinidad, the University of Karachi in Pakistan, the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies in Karachi, Pakistan, and the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.
He worked for several years as a Foreign Service Officer in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.
He lived in New York for ten years during which time he served as the Director of Islamic Studies for the Joint Committee of Muslim Organizations of Greater New York. He lectured on Islam in several American and Canadian universities, colleges, churches, synagogues, prisons, community halls, etc. He also participated in many inter-faith dialogues with Christian and Jewish scholars while representing Islam in USA. He was the Imam, for sometime, at Masjid Dar al-Qur'an in Long Island, New York. He also led the weekly Juma'ah prayers and delivered the sermon at the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan once a month for ten years continuously.
Btw, he has his own website....(you can even download the e-book version of his writings..cool!)
