why?

"because it's something i have to do."

is it? 

"yeah."

you sure?

"what do you care?"

because when you go down, i'll have to go down with you.

"no one will know about... they told me i'll be safe."

you sure?

"they told me i'll be safe... they swore."

people lie.

"they dont."

you're too naive.

"if you're so against it, why didnt you stop me?"

you shut me out.

"i didnt."

you did. but you bring me back now, because you're confused.

"ughh."

so, where do we stand?

"in a deep shit hole..."

well, at least we're standing.

"ha ha bloody ha."

what are we going to do with it?

"this is why i brought you back. thought you'd maybe have some ideas."

we could burn it.

"too obvious."

bury it?

"too much work."

pretend this never happened?

"i kinda... like that."

really?

"yeah. we should leave."

she looks down on the lifeless body sprawled awkwardly on the floor. blood flooding it. she closes her eyes and breathes deeply. the stench of death and a little regret fill the air. as she turns around to leave, something hit her hard on the head. she falls.

*coughs coughs* "god, this hurts."

she puts her hands on her head. she can feel blood oozing out of her head. several hits on her body leaves her paralyzed beside the dead body.

wow, karma was fast. 

"who's there?!" *coughs coughs* "oh god..."

more hard hits. shuffling footsteps. deep voices whispering. the sound of her bones breaking.

i told you we'll go down.

"no you didnt."

yeah well, but i did mention it.

"ha ha bloody ha."

then, everything goes pitch black.

Innocence of Muslims

assalamualaikum/peace be upon you.

i guess the title says it all.
truth said, i havent watched it but for what ive heard from those who had, i dont think i want too.
as a muslim, of course im mad. infuriated in fact.
how could, for anyone, to downgrade a religion to that extent?
where's that humanness in all of us that made us different from the jungle brutes?
for who they have insulted was.. no, is and always will be the exact definition of a perfect human being.

i can't even put my devastation, frustration and my disbelief in what is happening into the right words.
the chaos of humankind. the animals we have become. the lowest of the lowest of creatures on this earth.

dont let this be a vantage point for other religions to take a step forward, to see that it's ok, to know that it's fine to taunt, slander and disrespect other believers.
dont let this be a concrete reason to erupt a war.
dont let this be a barrier to other religions to see the beauty in islam.
dont let this be how others portray how islam is because it's not.

i respect those who have their own opinions in what they believe and what they dont.

but this is too much.

if you're skeptical about what islam is all about after the 9/11 incident, take the effort to go to those who are well taught, well versed and well educated in islam not to those who are full of hatred and revenge in their cores.

there are always a few bad apples in a huge barrel. but the other apples those in that barrel are not rotten and spoiled.

i beg of others to see us in a whole different perspective apart from what you already know through this propaganda. to see the real islam. not of what they have depicted poorly of us.

our prophet Rasulullah s.a.w. was not of all what they have filmed.
not even close.

when you really take the extra effort to know him, for what he was and for what he had done, you will fall in love with him.
you'd mourn for his absence and you'd want him back. to set things right.

so, as my part as a muslim who loves her religion, i'd do my fair share to clear my beloved prophet's name and all together educate those who know none of him, here are a few well known figures who had commented on Rasulullah s.a.w.'s excellent qualities even after his departure.

1. Sir Herbert Spencer (English philosopher): Should you make Muhammad as a symbol of religious political right, and one of the most honest in implementing the system, sacred heart of mankind. Muhammad is a first embodiment of pure honesty - day and night -always diligently developing his ummah.

2. Dr Wilw (1818-1889, French-orientalist wrote in his work 'Khulafa Tarikhul') : Muhammad entitled to our admiration and gratitude as the great reformer, and he should also be known as a prophet. We do not need to hear stories and opinions of extremes. Indeed Muhammad is great in personality and very obedient to Islam. Whoever attacks him, it is clear they do not understand and they are damaging his honorable services.

3. Albornos Catian (Italian orientalist whore in his book 'Arab Adyanul') : The privilege of Muhammad is located on his amazing ability to be a smart-smart politician, more than a prophet who got the revelation. If they knew none of Muhammad,  they tarnish Muhammad's dignity, and they who do it, then they are injustice against themselves and against Muhammad.

4. Mahatma Ghandi: Once I wonder who most influenced human figure? I am more than convinced that it was not the sword that gives greatness of Islam at the time. But it comes from simplicity, the unpretentious, the precautionary Muhammad, and extraordinary devotion to friends and followers, his determination, courage, and confidence in God and his job. All this (and not the sword) remove all obstacles. When I closed the last page of volume 2 (biography of Muhammad), I was sad because there is no story that is left of the great life. The teachings brought by Muhammad is the omission of one's wisdom not only for Muslims but for whole human race.

5. Edward Adams (American orientalist from one of his works) : Arab countries first before Prophethood of Muhammad, were countries sink into depravity. Difficult for us to characterize various disturbances that occurred in each place. Great damage that torments the people at that time and evil in children (daughter born buried alive for fear of disastrous), human sacrifices made ​​in the name of religion, the ongoing war between tribes, and the communities that live often lack, as well as the absence of a strong legal order. All the result of slavery and human bondage, increased crime, sexual abuse and no honor among men. When Muhammad came as the interpreter of  The Almighty for the whole universe's treatise which is the Qur'an and bring the light on his left hand. Verily, that all this is to free human beings from the darkness and being them into the light of God's grace is Sublime.

masyaAllah, beautiful aren't they? many more on the net :)

and so, i urge to those muslims out there to respond and react intelligently to this offence. dont go out there holding knives and guns declaring war out of the blue. tell those who know not of the beauty of islam and the greatest man that had ever walked on earth (Rasulullah s.a.w.). to those prolific writers, bloggers, vloggers and twitters, do your part in spreading them on the net. the fastest medium to convey information.
for war is the last form of jihad there is.

this is a message from a fellow muslim, a human being, a God's slave and a girl.

spread the word. insyaAllah, we fight these bad images of islam and our prophet - peacefully.


islam is not just a religion, it's a way of life
