Feb. 4 - Several thousand Syrian demonstrators set the Danish and the Norwegian embassies on fire to protest at the publishing of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad by European newspapers.
The protest marked an escalation in the Muslim world's uproar over the cartoons, which have been reprinted in a number of European publications. One depicted Prophet Mohammad wearing a turban resembling a bomb.

I'm a bit late in commenting on this latest incident which had raised anger all over the muslim world. They keep on giving false information on Islam and our beloved Prophet. But this is not so surprising me as before this, I've read a cartoon character depicting of Moses having problem bathing himself as the water 'rejects' him. We all know the history whereby Moses a.s. and his followers made their great escape thru the red sea ( when I said 'thru the red sea - i really mean it). But Moses is also regarded as one of their Prophets in their believes. If it is normal for them to make jokes on their own religion, then so be it... Remember Joe the Almighty?

I'm not saying that making fun of other Prophets is ok like the one they did on Moses a.s. That is what they believe according to their teaching and scriptures. To me, that "Moses" they claimed to be as the messenger of God in that cartoon is not the real Moses a.s. or Musa a.s. that was sent by Allah. 'That' Moses is their own version of Moses as what they believes.

But they got no rights to make joke (really?- I doubt it) on Muhammad s.a.w. (they don't accept him and his teachings). There is no such things of absolute freedom, there is always a limitation on everything in this world. This time a battle line was drawn between freedom of the press and respect for Islam.

"Freedom of opinion, expression and of the press -- which we guarantee and respect -- cannot be used as an excuse to insult sanctities, beliefs and religions." - President Mubarak, Egypt.

Tadi tengahari saya ke Pasar Borong Selangor buat pertama kalinya. Mula-mula cari tak jumpa, daripada rumah saya tu menghala ke tol ke putrajaya saya cari tapi tak jumpa. Dah tak jumpa tu patah balik ke pasar di sebelah Poliklinik Puchong…dah tak ramai orang…Kat situ saya tanya seorang hamba allah tu dan katanya Pasar Borong Selangor kena pegi atas lagi iaitu selepas tol. Mmmmm….

Setelah beli ikan Selar sekilo, pada harga RM9, saya dan isteri pun gerak ke sana. Alhamdulillah, jumpa walaupun mulanya terlajak dan kena buat pusingan ‘U’ hampir 2 km! Sekali tu masuk kena bayar daaaa...RM1. Saya mula bengang nih, almaklumlah selama hidup kat Butterworth dulu, Tol ni masa nak balik kampung je, yang lain mana ada tol tol...mmm..tadi dah kena RM1, ni parking kena lagi RM1 dah RM2, pegi balik dah kena RM4..This is better be good!

Rupanya memang berbaloi saya pi sana, barangnya murah lah jugak. Pasar ni memang baru yang mana pasar basah di tengah tengah dan di tepinya ada sederet kedai-kedai pemborong barangan kering yang lainnya (deretan melengkung berbentuk C). Saya pun pi la survey, tengok tengok ikan Selar sekilo RM5.50 jer!!! Jalan lagi jumpa pulak yang jual sekilo RM5!! Mmmm…nampaknya murah RM4 daripada pasar tadi…dah balik modal dah tuu!! Ayam pulak ada yang lelong RM4.80 sekilo…murah tuuuu…Tapi saya tengok nak kena pilih skit lah, ayam dah lebam yang banyaknya..last sekali saya beli kat kedai lain, harga RM6 p/kg. Okehlah tu, standard! Sayur sayur pun murah gak tapi saya dah malas nak survey, itu wife lah yang beli, katanya ok lah bang, murah jugak sayur sayur ni!

Nak balik tu pekena air kelapa, fuh! Kelapa real lah, tarak campur! Memang air kelapa betul. Rasanya lainkali, memang kat sini lah tempat saya beli barang barang keperluan nanti. Kedai pemborong barangan kering pulak saya tak pergi tadinya, lainkali saya pegi pulak!

Pasar Borong Selangor ni beroperasi dari jam 4 am – 11am, dan 6pm – 12am manakala untuk hari minggu atau cuti awam dipendekkan sejam dari jadual di atas. Jadual ni saya main taruk je nih, bukan apa tak ingat la pulak, tapi tak jauh lainya tu, lainkali saya akan update yang betul punya InsyaAllah.

Ok…kali ni cerita yang tak sedap pulak pasal tempat yang sama…apa dia? Masalah Halal/Haram! Ada satu gerai tu jual daging kambing, saya tengok penjualnya tu pangkatnya ‘lance corporal’ pasal ada satu calit tang dahi dia…aik!! Buleh pulak dia tulis kat sign board gerai dia tu ‘Ditanggung halal’. Dah tu, ada pulak tulisan pasal Deepavali dengan gambar (saya tak pasti gambar ganesh atau apa tah pasal tak perati betul betul). Betul ke ditanggung halal daging kat kedai Anney tu? Kena la amik tindakan nih!! Edisi siasat!

Well...today is Saturday and it's 4th of February...Looks like the alleged virus attack didn't take place at all. Was it a false alarm or was it because the virus has been neutralized? I was told that this virus will attack on every 3rd day of every month at 12 am.

How ever, one thing that I'm still puzzled, what is the name of this virus? Is it KAMA SUTRA or MY WIFE or TEAREC or Nyxem or else?

As for me, my computer is working quite ok and normal I don;t know about you guys out there. Did you guys got this kind of message = "DATA Error [47 0F 94 93 F4 K5]." If you did...more likely you're under attack!!! Bang! Bang!!

p/s: Duhhhh...they call it WORM lah..not virus.. erk!

Becareful guys! Microsoft in an e-mail Tuesday warned users to update their antivirus protections against the Kama Sutra worm, the mass-mailing virus slated to begin corrupting files later this week.
In its advisory
for the Kama Sutra worm, otherwise known as win32/Mywife.E@mm and Nyxem.E, Microsoft warns users to be wary of opening unknown attachments.
The worm, which infects a user's computer once an attachment is opened
, may also spread over writeable network shares if there are blank administrator passwords. Users hit with the worm may find a number of their files permanently corrupted on the third day of every month, beginning this Friday.
Like other worms, the Kama Sutra virus attempts to disable security software that is loaded on users systems, Microsoft warns.
Microsoft is advising users to update their antivirus software, as well as remain cautious when opening unknown attachments and use strong password protection.
Security experts estimate the worm has infected at least 500,000 PCs, often using pornography as its enticement.

- Well, I don't know about you guys but I've been using AVG antivirus for my computer for quite some time by now and always updating it. What you guys think of this kind of free antivirus eh? So far so good and that my lap top is away from viruses attacks!!
However, this antivirus only detects viruses, trojan horse, worms etc etc but not spywares. I still need to log on to housecall webpage to scan my computer from time to time to kill those spywares..
The best way is, beware of emails attachments and stay out of porns!!

What you guys think of this photo? Is it fake or real? Has anyone got any information on this? I got it months ago (that was then that this blog wasn't in existence yet ;P ).

It was said that this photo was taken somewhere in the middle east and it was believed that the skeletons belong to a member of Aad tribe which was known with their enormous size and strength. This photo was taken from a copter.

Is this the real Aad tribe whom feared most by the Bani Israel as what has been described in al-Hadith? But anyway, today's technologies can really mislead us into judging something that is not really there at all. I was told that the government (dunno which one) had banned local newspapers from covering the story. The site where they found this skeletal remain had been closed to public as well. Why'd they do that? What do they got to hide? Mmmm.... anybody know anything about this?

As for those who'd prefer to communicate in English, they may post their comments or their postings in English or vice versa. There is no restriction of either Bahasa Malaysia nor English language only..but please let's keep it that way - English or BM. Don't use other languages as I won't be able to understand other than those two languages. Thank you so much.
