I respectfully request readers to find other resources as well as many of the materials I have written to date, (I am close to 90 blog posts to date) and do their research about the true meaning of Islam and research honestly, topics such as Women in Islam, Sharia law, International Law in Islam, as well as the books or websites I have previously mentioned. I might compile some kind of list which will appear on my blog, for resources. But for now, do your research. You are responsible primarily, for your own education. Don’t be fooled.
Arab leaders as well as "oppression" and "racism" in the Quran
Coup d’état and assassination may not be “looked down upon” in the Arab world, as Nonie Darwish explains, but it is not giving a complete and true picture of the legality of what the Sharia says with regards to murdering an extremist or unjust ruler (if that is even considered alright is another question which is more complicated than she pretends); the sharia also states that murder of any Muslim is illegal because even unjust rulers should be first, advised, if they cannot be advised, then removed by force without the need to kill them, or otherwise they might be removed by force if no other recourse to any lesser action is possible. But before removing a tyrant ruler, we must ask ourselves, as Muslims, whether we can bear to live with this leader any longer, or if life is not as bad as the alternative if we do topple this leader? Who will take over as leader, will the gov’t begin pogroms of the people to find the assassins (or if he is not even killed, the attempted assassins), and so on. If the situation can become so much worse from the attempt to assassinate the unjust ruler, then it should not be done, for the sake of the society and the people. Another question would be, who will fill the vacuum, if anyone, and if ensuing chaos will harm more than benefit the society in the aftermath of such an event. We saw in Libya, that it is sometimes worthwhile to remove such a leader, if society is ready for change and can move forward. But then again, in the case of Ghaddafi, his removal is widely known to have been facilitated by the American attack on Libya, or bombing raids and the destruction of roads, etc. In Syria things have not gone as planned, or as some people would have hoped. Masses of protestors and innocent children have been slaughtered by the government forces in retaliation of the “Arab uprising” in the country.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Lies is on the 'back burner'
I am experiencing a medium to high level of lethargy as a writer, especially about Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and I am not at all in the mood to write about her at present; I don’t know if I will want to do so in the future, I will certainly have to try and I believe I will do so eventually. But I think I have done quite a lot of writing (and actually have notebooks of information to type out) and thinking (critically) about the many lies, which some people continue to believe about Islam, and as my husband tells me, “it’s not worth it”, sometimes. I am suffering ‘X-treme burnout’ on this subject so can’t really do it justice (for now). There is already some of this critical information on my blog – with that I think I can take a vacation from the topic. For one thing, it is well known that actually, Robert Spencer is not an important or impressive figure in the social landscape, his views are remain popular with (at best), a fringe group of followers. I will however continue another time, in the future with the Ayaan Hirsi saga. Probably future writing about her will be included in other prominent stories about Islam, and the misconceptions being perpetrated by Media today as regards Islam. I will continue to include as many relevant labels as possible to make searching the site possible.
I'm a sponge and I can do no harm - a poem
“I’m not going to be fooled anymore.
I'm not going to be fooled anymore.
I'm... I'mm...I'mmm.
I'm not going to be fooled anymore.
But I can change my mind, right?”
