I don't know whether I could be blunt and say it publicly...I did some reading and asked around some Syrian friends about what actually happen there...what is it that actually happens..these people are the liberals, the minority in Syria..most of them says, people were killed everyday in the name of religion..but everyone knows...it's the greatest lie...it's just two power hungry group of people battling each other and use religion to justify their battle...in the name of Allah..Sigh...well for me,everything is so puzzling..things start with a single spark of cruelty towards children..and suddenly you have a full-fledged militia armed with highly sophisticated weaponry and gadgets rebelling against the govt. Russia backed the govt. while US backed the rebel..Russia warned US not to interfere or else Israel won't be safe..Russia teamed up with Iran stand behind Assad..and suddenly Assad has Hezbollah inside his pocket too....and US, despite not earning a mandate from UN...keep supplying the weapon to the rebel..in Egypt..Morsi was overthrown..the Christian in Egypt had enough..after 2 years..nothing changed much...apparently a Muslim country don't work so well with them..Morsi backed Palestinian up and sourcing help to the rebel in Syria.this need money and it's understandable why some of the Egyptian especially the non-Muslim got so fed up..Egypt is under crisis..the money is not enough to feed it's own citizens...back in Syria, the civil war keep on rampaging..out of the blue it the battle between the rebel vs the govt. turn into the battle between syiah and Sunni....things becoming fucked up and messy...it reminds me of my Indonesian friend's words...In indonesia alone there are more than 70 sects for Muslim..everyone is fighting about which version is better, which people is imbecile, which group will get the ticket to heaven but few remember that they do share the same God...that very same God..Allah...Allah is Omnipotent, Allah doesn't need to be defended, Allah love everyone just the same as long as the person recognize that Allah is the god..the powerful and the merciful..in Syria..the tension rise because of a political battle between two parties who put greed above everything else...they use religion because it is the easiest way to manipulate people's emotion..but people of religion..while you are so busy cursing...and hurling insult, pray for god to punish the imbecile..few ponders...is life of religion about fighting and violence...during the dark ages we learnt that religion keep people in the dark..the people with higher power, filled with greed,claiming to have a special relationship with god, abused the religion for their own benefit, Many people died...from the cruelty of the Church or fighting in the war defending the god...after the church is overthrown..and renaissance era surfaced...people still have fear and they do not wish for another dark ages...they realize the religion is flawed because the human is flawed...be it Sunni or Syiah...both sides has it's flaw...people grew up believing that their faith is the absolute...but who knows anymore...Islam is the youngest book based religion...it doesn't even reach 2000 years old...that's how young it is compared to other religion...but within the short period of time..things got screwed up and now it seems like there are hundreds or thousands version of Islam...who screwed Islam up? Us....it's not others...it's us..we accept everything feed to us..we don't even question...we put the holy man above everything else...his words are our mantra...we make the ustaz become the celebrity..we approve of the ustaz although some of his words doesn't make sense...we are the lamb craving for our messiah..our shepherd to show us the right way...so quick to believe, so quick to put our trust into..use your head and ask yourself "Does it matter whether it's Syiah or Sunni? if I can't be a good human being? did we not look at ourselves in the mirror and reflect? what's the point of being a Sunni if I agreed on spilling blood...What's the point of being a Syiah if I kill people...? the war can be avoided not only if we have the same version of Islam...but the war can be avoided if we put a priority of being a human first before everything else...I fear that one day the same thing will happen in Malaysia...I fear that one of my brothers and sisters will put a gun on my head just because I might see and understand things differently..why the hate? after all we do share the same god...let Allah decide this...and we as human beings just do our job to worship Allah...in ways we think is the right way...
your real enemy couldn't care less about religion..your enemy only cares about making money and saving their asses...while we are busy fighting each other and left behind economically and intellectually...they raking money profiting from our battle against each other...I went to the Al:Arqam restaurant and eat the food from the table...they may have different ways of worshiping Allah but the food they serve on the table is as good as any Malay Sunni, they might have more than one wife, but they treated me respectfully ...they might be what people called deviant...but these deviants, despite being isolated and banned in their own country...actually owned Malay Restaurant Franchise all over the world...and nobody seems to notice..I've met people from different sect than me...who treated me good...I've faced mistreatment from people who share the same sect as me...it makes me realise, whether to be good or to be an asshole...you don't need to be in a certain religion or a certain sect..it's all up to you...

So many ppl want to defend God or Allah nowadays...everybody racing to be the champion of religion...it's a competition to see who is more holy and more pious...even in rich, corrupted churches, we compete to see who has the bigger cross, bigger donation, who attends the most Sunday worship, who reads the most Bible, who memorize the most Scriptures, who can speak in tongues, who can perform miracles, bla bla bla... Itz freaking sad.
