Knowing that the creator exists

1/ Knowing the Creator exists Through your own selves

That the "fitra" (innate belief of the Creator) has been implanted in humankind and isnt it fascinating that the whole of humanity

has this "innate" belief of "God" articulated and expressed Globally

2/. The books

The revealed books and the miracles within them , example is the Qur'an and the linguistic miracle that is contained within it.

3/. The messengers

The message of all the Prophets and messengers should be a sign and a warning for those who reflect

4/. Through reflection and sincerity

Only through Humbling oneself and sincerity seeking truth and

relecting on the heavens, the creation, the creation of oneself and alternation of the night and day can one see and comprehend the sign of a creator therein.

Prof. Kolowkoski (Oxford University) statng that Reliion developed for the elite as a power tool (as Niche argument) is highly unlikely

5/. That the universe is created from nothing, The methematical impropability of this, since the propabily of the universe and order to be created from nothing and nothing creating

itself is similar to the propability that numerically would not fit on most calculators because of the zero's it contains ..

.. How the Media Influences

I am writing this only a few days after the Flotilla incident in which

Israeli comandos slaughtered at least 9 humanitarian civilians on boarding

ilagally a vessel headed for Gaza.

Lets take One such "Un-biased" Media outlet, the BBC, spokes-vehicle for the

Government ...

the apparently "unbiased" Outlet failed in its tone in to condemn outright the

atrocity preffering instead in taking a ringside seat .... On one particular

radio station any mention of criticism of Israel was labelled as unhelpful

to dialogue and the caller quicky cut .... and the radio presenter on

BBC London foccussng on the Israel-Palestinian conflict ... a matter blurred

in understanding for the masses ..

A few days later the focus switched to Iran and Other conflicts quickly forgetting

the actions of Israel and any condemnations and sanctions by the so called

United Nations ....

We have spoken on this blog about the influence of Media in culture and

nurturing opinion in a reflexive way ...but this is an example in a different

perspective in how "thoughts of the day" are quickly put in check by even the

"so called" Media ....

Paganism and Europe

The new world order has clearly been seperating state and Religion but

what more have they seperated ?

Judeo-Christian pilosophy entered into Europe and subsequently Christianized

the entire European continent and beyond ..... The fallout Europe

encountered with this brought a hidden rebellion against this philosophy..

The hidden Rebellion has been advanced, secularism as an independent

philosophy and the split of State and Religio has added to this as a catalyst...

in the past 10 years secularism has heralded and evolved into an independent religion ...

and drawing closer to Paganistic cultures and finding attraction to it to the point

that NOW Judeo-Christianity as a body is even attacked at freewill ..

Something unthought of, inconceivable a while back ...

The Closeness That Europe has been drifting via its New World Secular Order

to Pagan cultures is more reminicent of harking back to pre-Christian Europe ..

Paain cultures are more celebrated and left uncriticized via the secular

framework ... More than ever before ....

Are We drifting toward Evil ? The worship of many Gods and deities and forms

of Gods or Energy are seen as something neuve and cool ....

Paganism has no set philosophy, judging from Hiduistic legacy we can see

that it is a mish-mash of opinions and philosophies and creating ones

own personal Gods or objects or Worship ....

From a Religious/Monotheistic Stand point is this is an evil path we are treading ?..

Since Morality is lost, lust is worshipped, the framework

for living and ways in bringing up and inculcating that

which is good in the next generation is forgotten ...

and the Worship Of One God Mocked ...

The misleading of Mankind by that which is Evil via the whisperings of the devils

willl be increased and all will be lost ....

The blame Game, Iraq ..

Current opinion has used the "blame game" for the entry into Iraq and Afghanistan

.... The Former in the form of "Misleading the public on the Weapons of Mass

destruction" .... The formulation of current opinion and culture NOW

rests on blaming the leaders in ill-informing/misleading the public in the

knowledge of Sadam having weapons of mass destruction ....

Although this maybe the case, where does the blame lay ?

totally on the leaders or on the public (democratic) masses....?

I say this, The holes of democracy has shown huge cracks once again and

covered up uncritically once again due to "it" The system (democracy) being the

heralded system for the New World order ....

Lets disect and gather some points to highlight this ..

1) There was huge support, "maybe" not a majority, a substantial amount

by the public of the invasion ...

2) Even if Sadam had WMD's surely going in Gun-Ho style would always of been

a catastrophe, since the Weapons inspectors were inspecting and this should

of been the ultimate and exhasted method

3) The Claim that Iraq threatened the World should have been judged a ludricous

one by mere reflection .... of knowledge in countries and cultures and invasions.

4) Again, decision making (democraticaly) by the masses has shown unfit

for judging on matters ..

5) The knowledge of the breakup of Iraq and the events "WERE" known in full

knowledge by the politicians ..

as this was clearly highlighted previously by the politicians in the first Gulf war

and was a major

reason they never entered Iraq in that period .... but this information was

never reiterated or highlighted by the mass-Media

So i say, pointing the blame Solely at certain leaders for leading us into War

is not a wholely truthful stance ....

Insulting the Prophets?

There was an uproar Globally about the insults to the Prophet

Mohammad via caricatures i think none of the muslim nations

were ignorant of this ... The protests and widespread condemnation

was articulated throuh protests and marches and typical flag burnings ..

Some muslims take the opinion that we cannot be biased and

make a distinction between the constant insults of the chosen one (annointed)

Christos-Jesus Son of Mary the Prophet of God ... And even the constant

depictions/insults of God Almighty himself .....! more or less on a regular basis ...

This is a strong argument and seemingly logical, how can Muslims suddenly be

biased and make distincion ... Surely God is Greater than any man ... and all the prophets

are brothers ...

I will go deeper and draw in a different perspective ... and try and detangle this

apparent confusion .....

First we have to acknowledge Why a Local paper affects a Worldwide audience,

Are muslims now responsible and taken on the burden of acknowledging and responding

to every local Paper Globally ? Surey this is a mammoth undertaking ?.. Or is

it was Have once again been the Victim of Global Media Histeria ? And fallen into the

trap once again .. ?

Is this a local issue for the Local muslims of the Dutch community to sort out ?

To understand the issue we have to understand that this issue is about

Current Culture and norm ... and not specifically about the insult of the prophet

himself .. Why? As i have just reiterated that the Insults of God and his prophet

are "normal" but so much greater in weighting ...

So the outrage of the muslims should be understood in that culture has changed and so

Now the Prophet Mohammad has been insulted ... thus breaking a cultural taboo/creating a cultural

norm ....

Maybe Wittgenstein was right for the need of creating a new language for philosophy ...

Since representing these arguments in purely premise terminology (X and Y) and logical form will not derive the truth,

as Wittgenstein so correctly pointed out that we need new principles, expressing contexts and forms in argumentation ..

Surely the limits of language and understanding has been lost in this issue of "insulting the Prophets" as Context, Cuture and weighting is lost in the simple-Language abstraction .

?

What is Divide and rule ?

The old Cliche "we defeated them" , "We colonized them" Hides a reality

of the ways and means it had occurred...

The reality of the European powers in colonizing lands has to be in the Art of

deal making rather than in the art of war perse

There are many examples, one of which is the so called "indirect" influence of

colonization via protectorates rather then direct colonies.... as in the case of French Morrocco ...

Pizzarro, the Spanish Conqueror, is a great example to be had, After being treated

and cared for by the Natives (being on the brink of death) he turns around

and continues on his hunt for El-Darado (land of Gold) and his duty to make the

land subservient to the King of Spain....

.. IT islegendary that the Spanish conquest of South America involved 12 spaniards ..

This puzzled me for a long time, were the natives so inferior that they were conquered by

12 men ? Alas, Reality of this "Mystery" was hidden for a long time and it is now

clear that through a strategic Marriage and aid from the natives that Conquering south

America was done by the Natives.

... Tippu Sultan usurper/Tiger of mysore withheld and defeated the British

East india company on many occasions.. Although the Last Battle that was to be his

defeat (and opening up of india) had occurred with major Alliances from Several states within India ...

The Afghan occupation by the British in the Second Anglo-Afghan war involved occupation

by the British of 50,000 men, a huge amount considering the popupulation was about

c.5 million ... Although the majority of these "British" were natives of India, Burma etc..

So it can be seen that "Deal making" alliances, were the key for powers to colonize

and influence their rule ... and a major facet of the downfall of the countries had to do with what the native

rulers (plural) had played on their part....

Marriage - Before and after ...

A good friend of mine sent me this, a bit of humour ...

Before Marriage.......

Him: Yes! At last it was so hard to wait.

Her: Do you want me to leave?

Him: No! Don't even think about it.

Her: Do you love me?

Him: Of Course! Over and over.

Her: Have you ever cheated on me?

Him: No! Why are you even asking?

Her: Will you go shopping with me?

Him: Ever chance I get.

Her: Will you hit me?

Him: Are you crazy? I'm not that kind of person!

Her: Can I trust you?

Him: Yes...

Her: Darling!
