Come on. Seriously? Burn a Quran/Koran day? What’s the matter with you?

It’s like them holding a “Burn a Bible Day” in their own countries.

.

What’s the point though? Even if it’s an issue with that mosque they wanna build near Ground Zero, why burn their holy book? I don’t get it, really.

Cos I mean, come on, if you have the brains, you would know that this whole terrorist thing is not about Muslims. Terrorists are terrorists and that’s that. It just so happens that the ones you geniuses caught have a darker skin tone. What if them terrorists were whites and blondes? You’re gonna blow up america then? Amazing.

And so much for the church preaching about love. Well done Terry Jones, you ding dong. I don’t really understand what’s the rationale behind burning a holy book or even inflicting hatred in others, and somehow I don’t think any other Christian would. There’s got to be a better way to handle a situation like this right?

Applause for the initiative to stand up for the Americans who oppose to the mosque near Ground Zero. Thought a bit of think through before actions would be greatly appreciated by all of us around the world. Freedom of speech much.

Really beautiful song.

Anyway, really enjoy fellowship with close friends.

That tendency to think of stuff other than what you’re supposed to focus on or listen to. Probably something we had unfortunately learnt during our sec or poly days in school.

But it kinda makes life more exciting like that cos that’s where creativity comes from doesn’t it?

This day last year, saw something out of context during an event, but turns out to be quite a disappointment. Hmm. Creativity and hope.
