Wait, let me get a few things straight!
1. I'm straight
2. I have nothing against Islam or any religion
3. I am not racist
4. I was young back then
Ok with all the
Hari Raya spirit in the air, I've been quite excited about the Raya Holidays and study break until I finally realize its
utterly boring with no one around campus and having my beloved mamak shop who's manager wants to take me to
Bangalore with him, is closed which gave me a very odd feeling when I see that its not in operation as its open almost
365 days a year without rest which makes me sort of pity the workers there as I never did see them having a day off but it would be alright since according to them they don't have anywhere else to go except to sleep and work........
*GASPS FOR AIR*Anyways, I was eating at the
Mamak one day recently and it was "
buka puasa" (break fast - not breakfast... ) time. Where the
prayers started to "berkumandang" on the tele.
As usual it starts with "Allahuakhbar" and it goes on.
It actually reminded me of myself when I was a little younger when I use to sit and stare at the prayer being aired on
TV3 until my mom comes and say "
You got nothing else better to watch ah?"
Having to live 16 years at Ipoh where my house is situated near .. well... not so near... to the army barracks i'm used to listening to the Muslim prayers which will be my alarm clock in the morning too.
And on that day, I laughed at myself for having a
misperception way back then.
Check this out.....
When I was younger.....
I use to think that they were actually saying.....
"ALLAHHHH WAS BOMBED!" instead of Allahuakhbar.....Yeah....
I've been thinking that it was .. erm.. that.... all my life until I actually saw the
spelling one day.
And thinking back about the
September 11 attack and those
few-screw-loose terrorist attack news on the paper trying to blow up the whole world.
It got me thinking......
Says my Malay friends, those are the lost ones who thinks their heroes when in the FIRST place they misintepreted the
Quran.
So I thought to myself.....
Prayers came from the Quran.....
Terrorists misintepreted the Quran.....I'm hearing "Allah Was Bombed" almost everyday.....THOSE ASSHOLES THOUGHT THAT ALLAH WAS BOMBED SO THEY WANNA PLAN THE SAME ATTACK ON THE REST OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!THOSE PRICKS.................................

Ok....
NOW that i realize that I was the bigger prick misunderstanding what the prayers mean.... I finally realize what it actually meant.
But never have I tried to disrespect any religion since I believe all religion that we hold strongly onto, only teaches us how to do
good and
stay away from trouble. (at least the legit ones).
But that doesn't mean the terrorists aren't pricks!
Anyway, in the spirit of the marking
the end of Puasa Month, I
would like to wish all my Muslim friends,
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri dan Maaf Zahir Batin!
