The OWC Sex Book

These guys seem to love make the headlines in their own unique way. In their latest attempt, the Obidient Wives Club has released a book on how to do the bed room lambada, effectively!

This 115 pages, Eleven chapters book has details on how to do it, how many to do it and much much more .Weird bunch of people. Personally i think they could have done much better with the choice of the book cover, the dude on the cover is not exactly “sex book” material i say.

If you are not sure what this book is about and what the deal is with creating this book, you gotta watch the below video  Continue reading »

Mustafa Akyol: Faith versus tradition

A very interesting talk by Mustafa Akyol who is the deputy editor of the Turkish Daily News., he highlights the big debate about Faith against Tradition. Its 2 absolutely different areas for me and its often mixed and various claims are made for what ever reason for who ever benefit.

For me Faith is personal and how some use for mileage is purely not right but hey, thats just my point of view.

Check out Mustafa’s talk at Ted

Yoga is banned, Bahasa Malaysia Next??

Here is something interesting, go to Google Images. Type in Yoga and do a search…Do you see one image on the main page that shows you the link between Yoga to Hinduism? I did that search and i didn’t get any images of any Indian or anything Hindu related. Anyway…

The National Fatwa Council has ruled that yoga is ‘haram” for Muslims.

Its chairman, Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said only the physical aspect of yoga, without the mantras and elements of worshipping outwardly, was not wrong (in Islam).

However, he said, yoga was not to be encouraged among Muslims for fear that it could erode their Islamic faith since the physical part was a component of yoga practice as a whole.

He said there were three stages to yoga practice, which originated from the Hindus: first, the physical aspect which is the exercise part; second the mantras and worshipping; and third the unification of oneself with God.

Ive got many Muslim friends who are not exactly happy with the sudden rescriction being place on them. The women were not spared as well with tomboys,short hair and even pants becoming issues. Anyway.. I was thinking along the similar lines of what could be the next to make the headlines and i thought..

BAHASA MALAYSIA!! I did a look-up on wiki and this is what i got :

The Malay language  was heavily influenced by Sanskrit, the lingua franca of Hinduism and Buddhism. The earliest known inscription in the Old Malay language was found in Sumatra, written in Pallava Script and dates back to 7th century – known as Kedukan Bukit Inscription, it was discovered by the Dutchman M. Batenburg on 29 November, 1920, at Kedukan Bukit, South Sumatra, on the banks of the River Tatang, a tributary of the River Musi. It is a small stone of 45 by 80 cm.

That’s not safe for consumption isnt it? Maybe we should stop using Bahasa Malaysia since there is heavy sanskrit in it and since sanskrit is the language of Hinduism and Buddhism it could potentially could erode their faith.

Sad case in my view, im not sure who exactly the authorities are trying to protect?? My Muslim friends have got their religion and beliefs in check and everyone respects that.

Yoga centre’s are not going to be happy about this! Its another form of exercise and i wont be suprised if we did a audit on Yoga centre’s and those who yoga ,you might find much much more non hindu’s practising it. Its a form of exercise for heavens sake! Where is our country heading too!?

Michael Jackson is now Mikaeel Jackson

This is a interesting piece of news, Micheal Jackson has converted to Islam today. He has not being having the best of times with trials after trials and its sad considering the fact that he was huge before. Hopefully things will improve for Michael Jackson.

Btw..His name is now Mikaeel Jackson.

Forgive my ignorance but did he really need to change his name? It was the faith that he embraced isn’t it?

Excerpts from a report:

The 50-year-old star, pledged his allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a friend’s mansion in Los Angeles, the Sun reported.

Jackson sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate — days before the singer is due to appear at London’s High Court where he is being sued by an Arab Sheik

The 50-year-old star, pledged his allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a friend’s mansion in Los Angeles, the Sun reported.

Jackson sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate — days before the singer is due to appear at London’s High Court where he is being sued by an Arab Sheik, the paper said.

“They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

“An Imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief,” the source revealed.
