Swedish paper tells of Palestinians killed to harvest organs
Leading Swedish daily Aftonbladet claimed in one of its articles that Israeli soldiers killed Palestinians in order to trade in their organs. The report mentioned Brooklyn resident Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, who is accused of involvement in the recent human organ-trafficking case that caused a storm in the US and Israel . The report said Palestinians claim youngsters were forced to give up theirs before being executed. This suspicion, the report said, may lead to an international war crimes investigation against Jewish state. Aftonbladet also said Palestinian youths who were snatched from their villages in the middle of the night were buried after being dismembered. The reporter, Donald Boström, said he was informed of the alleged atrocities by UN employees while he was working on a book in the West Bank.
According to Bostrom, a Palestinian from Nablus who for a number of years headed stone-throwing attacks against IDF soldiers was shot to death in May because he interfered with the activity of the "Israeli conquering forces" Aftonbladet published a photo of the body, which had a scar running from the face down to the stomach. In his article Bostrom quoted a number of Palestinians as saying that their children were killed by IDF soldiers for their organs.

Poem: Take me away

Take Me Away

Take me away from this place of ignorance
And into the veiled river-ridden lands
With waters gushing from the fountain of truth
Instoring knowledge so that man understands.

Save me from the throbbing of idle chatter
Emitted by the throngs of sheep -
The masses walking with eyes shut close,
Looking awake yet deep they sleep.

I await the shepherd to direct the flock,
Out from the gloomy fog-strewn night,
Drowning our hearts with tales of deceit,
And into the garden, spilling with light.

The yearn of my heart echoes through my mind,
Take me; carry me; fly me away
Lead me to the lost locket of wisdom
So that I may reside and not go astray.

Yet I remain in this prison ruled by men and kings-
safe in their haughty towers built up tall
Fooling themselves with whispers of the devil,
Arrogance deceiving one and all.

Take me to the lake of humility I beg,
Where thirst is quenched my humble hearts;
Sincerity blossoms from the springs of knowledge
And justice prevails – neither ends nor starts.

Take me away from this place of ignorance,
Let the lake of tranquillity gently bathe me
Fly me towards this hidden garden,
And for once let my heart and mind be free

Ramdhan Mubarak

Assalamo alaikum wrb! (Meaning: Peace and Blessings be upon you!)
Ramadhan Mubarak!

The Holy Qur'an says:
"The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful." - (Al-Qur'an - surah:2, verse: 185)

We all know that Ramadhan is "the" month in which was revealed the Glorious Qur'an.
We fast for a month and offer special prayers in nights to thank Allah for blessing us with His ultimate mercy - the book of guidance and the criterion.
So, to celebrate this momentous month with ardent fervour, i am forwarding you with some qur'an related website links (also for those who are struggling to get a hard copy of the blessed book):

Why the fuss? Why us?

Hi All,
It has been many years since terrorism, fatwa, madarasa, purdah and jihad, fundamentalist, etc. came into existence in media. By existence I mean that though the terms may have existed in languages but the fast way and definitive meaning with which they now propagate across the globe.

Recently, I saw a news item that contained 'fatwa' in the heading for no reason. Two people married from the same gotra and the some community people are against it and hence the term as if media is short of terms. Or take the example of the red and white scarf that the Muslim scholars and even ordinary Muslims wear. My Dada also wore it and it has nothing to do with terrorism. I saw that being used to cover the faces of arrested terrorists!! Why this deliberate negative potrayal of Islam?

I never took much note of my friends calling me Jihadi and Pakistani or criticising Islam on aspects like cicumsicion or polygamy. That is why I am learning Islam to propogate the truth of Islam using proof of God and Quran. The Quran whose marvel lies in its challenge to mankind to bring forth a verse like it.

A broad mind always imbibes the truth.

Open to comments and debates.

Eternal Emotion

Was it just an emotion
Is it just an emotion
I did intend it.
And you did start it.

Whatever it is, it doesn't die.
I look back and see, what I still ponder about.
Why did I look at you?
I know you did not know why I looked at you when what all I meant was to talk.

But this was destined for me.
But is it good for me?
That I move in life and then I stop agian at your thoughts.

Till when should I continue to be in LOVE with you.
Is it allowed for me?
Or should I just forget you,
Like a mere line on the shore of a sea.




Bata Kab tak mein tere ahsaas mein jiyoon
Bata Kab tak mein tere intezaar mein jiyoon
Zindagi to khatm ho jayegi, bata mein tera intezaar JANNAT may bhi karoon
Khwaab to merey aur bhi hain, Bata kab tak tere khwaab may jiyoon

Blogging is the way

Hi All,
Blogging is the new PEN. And they say that the pen is mightier than the sword.

Quote ur quote or someone else's qoute, cry, laugh, protest, share, breach some copyrighted item unknowingly. Write what no one wanted to listen or read from u. Write whatever got rejected to be published otherwise.

This is the space where I can tell you what goes in the room of 4 software engineers to what I feel about the media, politics, environment and their role in the India Inc. to some insights into me. But why would you bother to read about all this crap!

So, I reach office at 3:30pm and come back at 4:00 am. I m in Bangalore where the present temperature range is 19 - 27 degrees. As I get up sneezing at 11, my partner hes a brush in his mouth and he is rushing towards the rest room. Another way of nature's telling Man about his limitations! I always like to suggest him and the rest that it takes a minute to brush one's teeth. Imagine shitting there with a brush in ur mouth! Yes, go on with ur imagination...

I ll catch u later when u r done with ur creative imagination.

The Homosexuality Debate

Hi Men&Women,
Is man free? In my opinion - NO. And if he is free, how far can he go with his freedom?

But you have rights and wrongs within these freedoms. Well, who decides the rights and wrongs?

Women didn't have the right to own property in the past. Women didn't wear what they now don't even wear in the past. I don't have anything against women but I have point to prove. So wait n read on.

Men in the past could never had thought about sex between the same sex. Why then just draw the line here? What do you say about a man having incest or having sex with animals? Sounds offending!

I am talking about the fallability of man made laws. What was seen as illegal yesterday is being legalised today. What seems unacceptable today may find legalisation tomorrow.

So, man is not the right person to make laws. More so when you have a proof of GOD and a book that could nt be proved wrong till now.

THINK!!

Motteez means

Hi,
Motteez starts with a thin Suhail (i m Suhail) who wants to come out of his underweight figure. Motteez is the twisted version of Moti which means fat. I call a lot of my female cousins and sisters by that name irrespective of their being so or not.

All Mottayz and Motteez r welcome 2 comment here.
Now what is Mottayz? Any guess!!!

A Motta
