The article here says former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad denies he is anti-Christian.
Does speaking his mind on the hypothesis that the WTC (World Trade Centre) was brought down by controlled demolition and the Bush's administration was complicit in the attacks makes him anti-Christians?
If you believe in Anwar's claim of trumped-up charges you would believe in anything.You would also believe George Bush is a saint and America is incapable of doing bad things and that Obama, as promised, would close down Guantanamo Bay and cease all hostilities against the Afghan and Iraqi people.
Guantanamo is still there and the war has not stopped but heightened.More US troops are going to Afghanistan to finish off the Talibans.Can they?
If I live under a coconut shell without windows to the world wouldn't I believe in anything shoved down my throat.Just like the poor helpless geese force fed just to make some frogs fulfill their discerning palate eating their foie gras.
Mahathir's antagonists have a field day reading between the lines making all kinds of negative assumptions of his statements.None of his statements have been lacking in scrutiny, every words he says, even in the righteous of sense would have negative connotation by his invidious antagonists.Then there are always those who have adapted to kissing America's arses come what may and have a basic fundmental disorder of thinking might is right and that the control demolition conspiracy theory is a crock of shit.
Where is Saddam's WMD (weapon of mass destruction) so claimed by George Bush and Tony Blair to justify the invasion of Iraq?
The control demolition conspiracy theory is not Mahathir's alone.There are considerable followings in the US that believe in the conspiracy.
Proponents, such as physicist Steven E.Jones, architect Richard Gage, software engineer Jim Hoffman, and theologian David Ray Griffin, argue that the aircraft impacts and resulting fires could not have weakened the buildings sufficiently to initiate a catastrophic collapse, and that the buildings would not have collapsed completely, nor at the speeds that they did, without additional energy involved to weaken their structures. Jones has presented the hypothesis that thermite or super-thermite was used to demolish the buildings. Read the full text here.
Anyone, other than willing victims of America's propaganda would have come to the same conclusion.How come three buildings collapsed in exactly same manner?

The same group of people who believe in Anwar's claim of trumped-up charges believe that America is incapable of such heinous crime and that Mahathir is a racist,anti Jews and anti Christian also believe that Anwar is infallible.
They are never wrong.Only those not with them are wrong.

Laughter Is The Best Medicine
Received in my email from a friend (original source unknown)
A man came home from work and his children ran to him and called out
‘Ayah! Ayah!’.
His neighbor got very upset and said to him,
“Can you please tell your children not to call you ‘Ayah’?”
The man asked, “Why?”
The neighbor retorted, “Because my children call me ’Ayah’ too.
They might get confused and mistake you to be their father.”
Then the man told his neighbor, are you not ashamed to say that your
children do not know who is their 'Ayah'. So you are saying by using the
word 'Ayah', your children will call me ayah too without knowing who is
their father?
The neighbor said yes, only my children should use the word 'Ayah'.
Maybe, it's time we wind down the debate on the 'Allah' issue.It's consuming too much energy and brought more ill will than good will.

Why Are We Wrongly Denoted?
Hantu Laut
Read this about our currency being wrongly denoted in some international publications while name of currencies of most other countries are used correctly.
Why?
I'll tell you why, because our government have not been consistent in a lot of things.It is not only confusing Malaysians but foreigners are equally in a maze when dealing with us.
For a start, we can't even decide what should be the proper name of our national language.It has been shuttling between Bahasa Melayu and Bahasa Malaysia.Sometimes, it is this, sometimes, it is that.
Now, some smart-arsed politicians and educationists think it should be Bahasa Malaysia. Just because Indonesia called theirs Bahasa Indonesia, must we follow suit? Why can't we stay what we are.But these no talent copycats probably didn't know that Indonesia have always been using the same term for yonks.
I am more comfortable with using Bahasa Melayu because there is no such thing as Bahasa Malaysia,it's a fake,created by small-minded so-called nationalists.Some languages are synonymic in words with race and nationality, some are not.The Scots and Irish speaks Gaelic, the English speaks English, the Belgian speaks Flemish and so on.Therefore, what is wrong with Malaysians speaking Bahasa Melayu.That's the analogy of language and race.There is no need for similarity in names.If history had given it a name why change it, if it brings no benefits?
Our education system, if anything to go by, has habitual tendencies of changing every time a new minister of education is appointed.Sometimes, whole curriculum would be changed on whim and fancies of some educationists who are more responsible for the cause of the failure rather than the system failing itself.A system will only fail if you want it to fail.
Recent decision to change the teaching of Maths and Science in English back to Bahasa were for the same reason... human failure. Educationists and political leaders blame the system rather than themselves for the miserable standard.It's the same as the carpenter who blames his tools for his shoddy work.It's a case of bad teacher makes bad student.
When the British first came to colonise this country none of the natives can speak English.They brought with them an educational system in their own language and imposed it on the natives to learn not only the language from scratch, but every subjects from primary level to higher secondary level.
Had the British ever thought that the natives were too stupid and incapable of learning other languages other than their own? No, they did not.They firmly believe and have faith in people even of the meanest of intelligence including those alien to their culture, that most people can be taught, brainwashed and indoctrinated, it's the means and methods that will decide success or failure.
That's why today many of you can speak English as fluent as the Englishmen.For some Malaysians English have become the mother tongue.
Sadly, that's not what our educationists and political leaders think of their own citizens.Such forlornness and quick to give up has become causer for unnecessary change and more troubles for the students.
Changing curriculum in the education system is a costly affair.New teaching materials,new textbooks and new human resources need to be acquired.Needless to say, such change would also put big bucks into certain people's pockets.
Inconsistencies, pervades every aspects of our lives, from education to politics to religions.
The current 'Allah' controversy shows how inconsistent we can be. Muslims are divided on the issue.Those in PAS say Christians can use the name while those in the government say no.
Earlier, the government say it would be wholesale ban.More inconsistencies emerged as Minister in the PM's Department Nazri Aziz says Christians in Sabah and Sarawak are allowed to use it.Later, Nazri dropped another bombshell, Penang and Federal Territories are added to the list of 'can' states.
Do I need to say more why Malaysia always got denoted wrongly.
