Depictions of the Prophet [PBUH] are scandalous

The Facebook episode is scandalous! Most non-Muslims know that Islam forbids depictions of the Prophet [PBUH]. Therefore, why such a proposal to have people submit depictions? It is clearly an affront to Holy Islam and an insult to Muslims everywhere.

Shanghai: All that is good in Humanity

Shanghai Expo! What a wonderful example of international cooperation. What a glorious sight that Shanghai presents to the world. If only this peaceful coexistence could extend to all other arena of contact, instead of conflict and anguish. Shanghai represents all that is good in humanity.

Dr Khan's Navel a Port for Things Naval?

The good doctor Khan must know the difference between his navel and things naval. I can imagine with some jocularity a fleet of navels, be they Indian or not. Would they be attached to their bodies, or would they be disenfranchised entities of nothing, as navels are merely the hollows left behind at birth.

Smug Media and our Prime Minister

I fully understand the PM's attitude toward media reps such as O'Brien. What has the media done for climate improvement? If O'Brien had initiated his own method for the environment, he would be on equal footing with the PM. But O'Brien is the classical armchair critic, comfortably ensconced within his studio. Smug and in control.

Mao held Culture to be Most Important

Well, Freethinkers' use of the term 'history books' immediately tells me that writer is American. And that says a lot to me. Irrespective, history informs me that Mao Zedong was indeed a cultural giant and the performance of the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution does not denigrate Mao nor detract from his immense energy culturally. Politics was an offspring of culture for Mao; the ramifications of international interference in China's affairs led Mao to cherish China's culture even more. This led to Mao's reluctance to trust imperial intentions toward China.

Mugabe clones South Africa

Goeie more

In 1974 one of my female workers in Gwelo, Rhodesia, had her teeth and gums removed by pliers-wielding Mugabe butchers. Now in 2010, South African farmers are having their teeth removed figuratively by this appallingly insane movement to hand over 40% of their farming land to people not renowned for their farming genius.

Lessening the political and social bite of farmers is not the way to improve a country's economic performance. Mao did it in the 50s and look what happened to China. Stalin tried it; Mugabe still wants to; and now the strangely-named Ms Tina Joematt-Petterson wants to do it.

As the song goes: When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

Ben Cummins: Hopeless or a Lunatic?

Ben Cummins is still out there in the centre of the park? I don't believe it! He's still there after a series of inexplicable mistakes that should have earned Mr Cummins a visit to a sight pyschologist. David Gallop should be aware of the damage such an incompetent has on our game of Rugby League. Our Game!

I hope more White Australians and other Western people will read your comments which is fair and noteworthy. They will then be less inclined to see China in negative light as many wrongly do, thus the often biased critics.

Mao helped to save Australia during WW2

We Australians view China not from a neo-Cold War perspective but as neighbours. It was Australia that opened the way for Kissinger and Nixon to visit Mao. It was Mao who helped to save Australia during WW2. My postgraduate thesis [written during the upheavals of the Cultural Revolution in 1968] asserts that Mao and the 8th Route Army and the New 4th Army kept the Japanese forces tied to the north of China instead of moving into South East Asia and thence onto Australia where Japan's war aims included capturing Australia's great mineral wealth. It was, in my opinion, a debt that has never been acknowledged. Although it was never intentional, Mao's great spirit imbued the Chinese guerrilla forces with enormous courage that enabled China to defeat Japan's imperialist aggression in WW2.
Thus, we Australians can be thankful to China. Our own population is served by almost a million Chinese Australians. We benefit from being a friend of China.

China and Justice Miscarried

I applaud the China Daily for journalism that uncovers bad administration of justice. This is shameful treatment of a citizen who has used the very channels of bureaucracy to have his complaint heard and then is gaoled! Shameful! This is not a credit to China.

Pat O'Shane: Best Magistrate in Oz

Magistrate Pat O'Shane is to be congratulated for her insight into Police chicanery. I was a police officer once but I resigned due to the rorts, dishonesty and criminality of certain members of the then Police Force. I worked at The Cross in night clubs before I was in the Police and I saw police men acting illegally on a daily basis. Ms O'Shane has her finger on the pulse of our society and I think there should be more magistrates and judges of similar ilk to Ms O'Shane.

Bomb in New York was meant to Scare

My intelligence suggests the device was benign and as such was meant to scare rather than to maim or injure physically. It can be inferred from this that some outfit wanted to thrust prejudice against Holy Islam again.

Applaud Kim Jong Il for taking the Train

More people should travel by train. I applaud Kim for journeying by train. You can walk about and stretch your legs and actually see the wonderful scenery. It's far more relaxing and it's environmentally better ... one engine for all those passengers.

the sycophantic way other nationalities ape this American sound.

Oh dear! You have opened a very large can of worms for me. I ... oh heavens ... don't get me started ... or, alternatively, don't start me. The American way of pronunciation is an international curse; not so much in the way Americans mispronounce just about everything English, but the sycophantic way other nationalities ape this American sound. I watched the Australian Open [Tennis] the other week and Jim Courier, in his usual awful manner, calls Jokovic Joe Kuvich. Now, we all know Jokovic is pronounced Jock oh vich, but the malleable Aussie commentator succumbed to Courier's mispronunciation and began calling Jokovic Joe Kuvich. Once Courier had gone, the Aussie recanted and returned to the more acceptable Jock oh vich. I reflected as to why so many American Hispanics allow Americans to mispronounce the simple name Carlos. It becomes Car Low zz ... the oh sound becomes owe and the ss sound becomes zz. What can one do in face of this perversion of sound? I also cast my web about the commentators and media 'personalities' in whichever country I exist and try to get them to realise how awful the American bastardisation of sound has become.
I like the American sound in its context but the coca-colonisation of English and culture in an international context is baffling to me and I have studied this phenomenon to doctoral dissertation level.

Who Determines Good and Evil?

BlogMay 3, 2010
Edmund Burke had said something to this effect, “Evil flourishes not because of evil men, but because good men do nothing about it “.
Indeed, lack of condemnations or protests encourages evil to flourish. The least we can do is speak up and show that we are for the righteousness
Justice or civil war
You have a very simple choice: Justice or civil war — and you choose. As Suketu said, that is the entire spectrum of possibility from A to B.

Palestine cannot trust the West

The British do not have a good record of trust in the Middle East. I am afraid the Palestinian people cannot rely on Western Governments that continue to express unwavering support for the Jewish State. It is as if any crimes committed by Israel are subordinate to irrational fears of being labelled 'anti-Semitic'. No, don't criticise Israel under any circumstances. You gotta remember the Holocaust!
