The Ulterior Motives

Readers, as you know my religion is Islam and just like other religions, I believe that there is a higher power that controls our life. Many of my observation are based on religion-practiced and rational-proof-based combined. Mostly, I believe things which is backed-up with evidence.
Lately, Islam’s name has been deteriorated by some extremist faction that allegedly terrorizing in the west part of the world. Eventhough I don’t see any evidence that the USA pointing to the right faction that terrorizes the world, I won’t deny that there are some fundamentalists who wants to create war against other religions.
Eventhough in my religion, every people who worship Allah is brother, I won’t acknowledge terror-spreading people as my brothers. I condemn them for what they have done. Their action has lead nothing but suffering to both sides as to create malevolent cycle of vengeance.
I begin to wonder, why do this people acted this way? I thought our messenger, Muhammad (Peace bring upon him), has lead us to be a peaceful people. Did you know what did Muhammad do when he was spitted by a man who hates him? Muhammad comes to his house when he is sick and wishes that the man become well.
What did Muhammad do when Jibril asked him whether the angel shall put the infidel to death by destructing the earth which they stood upon? Muhammad refused by saying if they won’t obey Allah, let their children given a chance to obey Allah. If their children won’t obey to Allah, let their grandchildren given a chance.
Most importantly, what did our God, Allah, commands Muhammad about the infidel? Allah commands him to repect them and let them do their religion, while we do ours. These examples should be more than enough that Islam is a religion of peace.
However, I won’t deny that Islam permits killing the infidel. But then again, our mighty God has spoken to do that only when you are threaten for your life and He forbids the killing of unarmed civilian,  such as women and children. If the 9/11 incident was cause by Islamist extremists, than I assured you, they are not obeying the God commands as they sacrifices the soul of innocent people just for their narrow-minded principals. I’m sure Allah also condemned their action.
Many wars has tore up upon the history of Islam. In the name of the mighty God, they tried to free the slavery, bring justice to the earth, and so on. However, Muhammad always prioritize to be diplomatic and only choose war as his final option for self-defense. If you don’t believe me, you can try to read your history book about who started the war on Crusade War, The Battle to Retrieve Mecca, and other wars that he fought at that time.
In conclusion, there is no such thing as holy war. Not even in the islamic scripture has mention that a war is holy, eventhough it involved the name of Allah. Muhammad always condemns war and Allah never encourage His follower to start a war in His name.

For those who live in Kentucky, USA you must have already know that there is a museum which support creationism. This 20 million-worth project has left a question which is "does it worth it?"

Well, for first, this museum adopts the idea of the Bible, mostly from the Genesis part. The creator believes that the world is created in six days. In the museum, there is a display that humans co-existed together with dinosaurs, since it’s been said in the Bible that in the sixth day, God creates humans and animals. I’m getting an image of the flintstone family when I saw this museum, since the humans play together with the dinosaurs, as though they were pets.

Moreover, they claim that the fossilize dinosaurs were aged 6000 years,which is against the modern science discoveries. Another controversial statement also comes when they claim that dinosaurs were also included in the Noah’s Ark. Let me get this straight, Noah included male and female T-Rex despite their carnivorous eating-habit? Wouldn’t they ate the other animals?

This creationist museum sends a message that the content of the bible is also a product of fact hard-proof science, despite the facts that are against them. Eventhough I believe in religion, interpreting the bible literally have its limits. You don’t put something from the bible and claim it as true before you have a scientific proof to back it up. Think about what the children might act if they believe in this museum. In fact, this is a petty attempt to lie to children, as petty as you tell your children that Santa Claus do exist.

There is nothing wrong about giving an opinion. But to treat it as a science-based, first you have to follow the rule of giving a theory. A theory that is debatable in a science seminar should have a scientific backup and most importantly, an evidence. These creationist museum literally interprets a bible, decided that it’s a fact without conducting long research.

Once you have the evidence, then by all means, please build your lovely museum. If not, then this museum is nothing more than a hollywood studio.

Hello Readers. This time I would like to review my perspective about Scientology. For those who don’t know what Scientology is, I will give you a brief description. Scientology is a religion that was founded by L.Ron Hubbard, a science-fiction writer, in 1960s. The goal in becoming a Scientologist is to let yourself be free from spiritual distraction such as ideology, psychiatry, and other thing that might distract your concentration. Thus, giving yourself a total freedom.

Scientologist believe that we were born in various engrams. Engram is a definition of a psychic scar. If you believe in Islam, Jesus Christ, and other idea, you are basically have a psychic scar. To release those psychic scar you have to pass 8 levels which will grant you the state of clear. It’s been said that once you achieved clear, you are able to live immortal, talk to animals, move inanimate object without touching it, and leave your body at will.

The leader of the church of Scientology now is David MsCavige. It can’t be denied that there are many controversial cases surrounding the church of Scientology. The death Lisa McPherson, a Scientologist and an Artist, was allegedly because of the act of the church of Scientology. They refused to treat Lisa McPherson to a nearby hospital, but took the farthest hospital. When Lisa McPherson arrived at the hospital, she was already passed away and many cockroach’s bites were there on her body.

Another church of Scientology’s controversial case are the Operation Freakout and Operation Snow White. In operation freakout, the church of Scientology planned to use Paulette Cooper’s name to issue a bomb threat to the US government. The church of Scientology planned to get revenge from her, after Paulette Cooper released  her book titled "The Scandal of Scientology". In the end, Paulette Cooper was found not guilty, but the charge against her has left her broke and depressed frequently.

In Operation snow white, the church of scientology launched a series of infiltration and thefts to government agency to find out information which organization that are hostile against the church of Scientology. The goal of the operation snow white is to purge every unfavorable records against the church of Scientology.

Why they do all of this? Well, Scientology adopted a rule that is called "Fair Game". This rule commands every parishioners to intimidate those who are hostile against Scientology. In L.Ron Hubbard’s comment "If we can’t find what their crimes are, manufacture them" shows that Scientologists will execute every option to shut those who are against them.

Moreover, Scientology urges their followers to disconnect every relation to their families, friends, and other acquaintances which are not a Scientology. This has let many families ruined and suffered.

People, we need to realize these threat immediately and claim that Scientology practice is not suitable to our community. Say no to Scientology and don’t let them corrupt our mind.

Beverage lovers, are you a coffee fan? Moccachino, black coffee, arabica, expresso, and other antic coffee out there you ever tasted? Well, have you ever tasted "Coffee Luwak"?

This coffee was orginated from Indonesia and harvested from the feces of a domesticated Indonesian jungle cat, namely a "Luwak". The deal is that the native people will take the Luwak for a walk while the Luwak will eat anything he encounters. Mice, banana, coffee bean, you named it. After a nice meal, then this cute creature will take a dung. Then the native people take this dung and sundry it until it’s dry enough. After that, comes the selection part. The natives separate the content of the dried-feces from the crap one.

After the good part has been selected, then the feces will be combined with berry, mash it up together and brew it up with hot water. There you have it, coffee Luwak. Many says that coffee Luwak has a strong fragrance than the other coffee that exist. Moreover, this coffee is sold for about 100 dollars per cup in a London cafe and 500 dollars per kilogram. Talking about eliteness.

So beverage fans, if you claim that you are a beverage maniac you have to taste The Coffee Luwak for your experience. Truth be said, I haven’t try it yet, but if anybody has a leftover, my mouth is wide-opened.
