My Name Is Khan - My review

A short sweet review of the movie My Name is Khan. SRK is an autistic guy, who falls in love with a hindu girl Kajol and marries her. But as a result of the marriage, Kajol's son from earlier marriage is killed due to the surname Khan after 9/11 attacks. Kajol tells SRK to go tell President of US that "My Name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist." The rest of the movie about SRK's journey to get to the president and his adventures including helping a community affected by hurricane, running out of money and walking loong distance doing repairs on the way and taking free rides. Its a bit dragging, needn't be three hours long. Could have been shorter. But a good movie. would give 3 stars.

What does Sajda mean

Sajda or Sajdah (Prostration, Worship, Adoration) has an important part in Islam.  There is also a chapter in Quran Surat As-Sajdah (Arabic: سورة السجدة‎) it is the 32nd Surah of the Qur'an with 30 verses.

Prostration is also found in the Torah, Bible, Zen Avesta, Bhagvad-Gita etc which were before the Quran, and it is important in many other religions.

Gaza's Reality - Children at the receiving end.

Kid you touched my heart....
I pray that one day you enjoy your life...
I pray that god makes your life and our lives happier
I am feel so sorry for you kid,
I hope the world will one day live in peace

Ibn-e-Batuta

Lyrics of a recent bollywood movie go something like Ibn-e-Batuta, bagal mein joota which means ibn e batuta, shoe under the arm.. which is meaningless and has been used just for the rhyming words. I take this opportunity to talk a bit about Ibn-E-Batuta, the great traveler.


A Moroccan Berber Muslim scholar and traveler who is known for the account of his travels and excursions called the Rihla (Voyage) in Arabic. His journeys lasted for a period of nearly thirty years and covered almost the entirety of the known Islamic world and beyond, extending from North Africa, West Africa, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe in the West, to the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the East, a distance readily surpassing that of his predecessors and his near-contemporary Marco Polo.

The name of such a legendary traveler who has documented the times of most of the countries in his travels. It is disrespect to him and shame to all associated with the song.

THREATENING MINARETS

From Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad's page on Facebook
1. Switzerland has decided that Muslim mosques in that country would not be allowed to have minarets. It seems that minarets would overwhelm the Swiss.

2. I wonder what would happen in Malaysia if Hindu temples are not allowed to have statues, for example. I think there would be an explosion. The whole world will condemn us as being undemocratic, not respecting human rights, not upholding religious freedom etc.

3. But when the Swiss bans minarets (there are only four minarets in the whole of Switzerland) and the French ban headscarves, these are very democratic. Always double standards and unfortunately the discrimination is always against Muslims.

4. Mr Obama, the Nobel Laureate President of the United States of America who promised to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan and close Guantanamo Detention Camp, have not honoured even a single word of his promises.

5. In fact more soldiers have been sent by him to Afghanistan and Iraq. He is now preparing to attack Iran together with his ally, Israel.

6. There will be excuses of course. They will show evidence that Iran is making nuclear bombs and is about to launch nuclear war against the world.

7. But after the evidence that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction to justify the invasion of that country, can we believe that the attack against Iran is due to the imminent nuclear attack by that country???
