VIDEO OF THE MOMENT

Before you agree to go to the Anti Lynas Rally at the mosques...

I read about the intended worldwide...oops sorry , nationwide (well there is a potential of this going worldwide via BBC and CNN, probably under "why we are developed and they are not" section) rally against Lynas at the mosque. You can read it HERE. Here is my comment on that :

Sure....why not...go ahead and use the mosque for political reasons....mosque was in fact historically a place used for political agendas anyway..today, it is a place to pray loudly, just in case God cannot hear us from earth.....

but before marching for the protest, please make sure that all the people who want to protest tick this check list of things they SHOULD NOT BRING TO THE ANTI LYNAS...oops...ANTI RARE EARTH TO AVOID BEING BRANDED AS HYPOCRITES :

1. Smartphones, eg iPhones and Androids because they contain powerful Rare Earth magnet made of Neodymium (Element 60) to be able to vibrate. The speakers too are made of the same element. (Suggest borrow the mosque microphone instead for communication.. they are designed to be heard not only for muslims who menuntut ilmu sampai negara cina, but also sampai Mars boleh dengaq)

2. The ear bud head phones also contain the same element 60. (Pity, because even if you're not IN the mosque, you will still badly need these ear bud phones to mask all the noise clearly prohibited by the Quran to be made by the mosque but the people who run the mosque seem to think they are smarter than the smart phone and God...)

3. Toyota Prius which contains 5 pounds of Lanthanum (Element 57) and 2.2 pounds of Neodynium (Element 60). So naik beca is safer...or tumpang mat rempit then run a statistic to see mana mati lagi cepat, duduk dekat mat rempit or duduk dekat lynas plants.

4. Compact energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs, rely on a coating of rare earth metal Terbium (Element 65) to create a bright white glow. So make sure sampai mosque, sila pecahkan all these compact energy saving fluorescent light bulbs. Guna yang non saving energy. Sure T&B happy.

5. Make sure monitor all the recordings of these protests in black and white mode, because without Rare Earth elements, colored TV will be dull like those dim, barely colored images from the 1950′s. In the 1960′s, Europium (Element 63) was added to television screens, bringing brilliant reds. Terbium (Element 65), produced bright green hues. But look at the bright side (pun not intended), the whole anti lynas on black and white will be as entertaining as a charlie chaplin and harold lyods movies (especially for those who understand what rare earth is..it'll be damn funny)

9. Come to think of it, don't come to the rally via any form of vehicle especially those that uses diesel since Cerium (Element 58) ,the most abundant rare earth metal is added to the diesel fuel to help it burn more efficiently . It is used in catalytic converters and other pollution control equipment so basically it is found in almost all vehicles today. Since you want to rally using the mosque, datang naik unta...lagi sunnah

10. Dysprosium (Element 66) is used in lasers, fuel injectors, compact discs, and increasingly in hybrid vehicles. Those who just had lasix surgery, please don't come.

11. Europium (Element 63) is also a part of the chemical process to screen for Down’s syndrome in a patient. So, if Lynas is stopped, bad news...more Down syndrome cases than we already have for the future anti rare earth rallies...vicious cycle this one...

12. Erbium (Element 68) is used to produce photographic filters, sunglasses, jewelry, and fiber optical amplifiers. So folks, come to the rally but strictly NO PHOTOGRAPHS to be taken, no ornaments in fact hide them under huge hijabs that closes the eyes to avoid using sunglasses. aiyah...with the mosque microphone, who needs amplifiers..

13. Holmium (Element 67) has the greatest magnetic strength of any element, and is used in medical/dental and nuclear control rods. So, only people who seek treatment from the seh seh and bomoh can go to the rally...and oh...people with rotten teeth too.

I don't think rare earth is the least of our problem.. I think our probem is RARE BRAINS..

Maybe you should cover your eyes men, instead of telling women to cover their heads!!

I know that this article is long overdue but I guess I have to write about women and the covering head matter, sooner or later, because it is simply tiring not to mention pain to my two eyeballs when my eyes are feasted upon the comments/articles about how the Quran "clearly stated" that women have to cover their heads that pops up now and then in the threads.

So it's either I produce this article or I go hang myself on some pole not in the same manner as the pole dancers would in order to put food on their table.

1. THE CASE OF HIJAB

There are 7 verses regarding “Hijab” (in society today, hijab means 'covering one's head') in the Quran and they are:

1. [7:46] Between them shall be a veil,(HIJAB) and on the heights will be men who would know every one by his marks: they will call out to the Companions of the Garden, "peace on you": they will not have entered, but they will have an assurance.

2. [17:45] And when thou recitest the Qur'an we place between thee and those who believe not in the Hereafter a hidden barrier (HIJAB);

3. [19:17] She placed a screen (HIJAB) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.

4. [33:53] “O you who acknowledge, do not enter the prophet's homes except if you are invited to ameal, without you forcing such an invitation. But if you are invited, you may enter. Whenyou finish eating, you shall leave, without staying to wait for a hadith. This used to annoythe prophet, and he was shy to tell you. But God does not shy away from the truth. If youask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier (HIJAB). This is purer for your heartsand their hearts. It is not for you to harm God's messenger, nor you should marry hiswives after him. This is a gross offense with God.”

5. [38:32] And he said, "Truly do I love the love of good, with a view to the glory of my Lord,"- until (the sun) was hidden in the veil

6. [41:5] They say: "Our hearts are under veils, (concealed) from that to which thou dost invite us, and in our ears in a deafness, and between us and thee is a screen: so do thou (what thou wilt); for us, we shall do (what we will!)"

7. [42:51] It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah's permission, what Allah wills: for He is Most High, Most Wise.
Another surah that uses the derivative of the same root word of hijab, (ha jim ba) but in past participle is "lamahjubuna" (لَمَحْجُوبُونَ)

[83:15] Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled (lamahjubuna).
So there you go, all 7 + 1 verses pertaining to the word “Hijab”. Unless one is to say that women should wear a curtain, or wood partition to cover their heads, then we can all agree that “hijab” has nothing to do with covering woman’s head. This “hijab” though, would work well in covering the men’s eyes. Cannot stand looking at the hair, take the curtain and cover the eyes. Amen.

2. THE CASE OF AURAT AND ZEENAT:

One of the famous declarations of Muslims is for women to "cover their aurat". Let’s look at this word in the Quran. The word aurat is mentioned only in three verses in the Quran. Here they are:

[24:31] And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their chastity (furooja); that they should not display their beauty (zeenata) except what appears thereof; that they should cover (bikhumurihinna) over their bosoms (juyoob) and not display their beauty (zeenata) except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no knowledge of women's nakedness (aw al tifli allazheena lam yaz-haroo ala awrati al-nnisa-i); and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments (zeenata). And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards God, that ye may attain Bliss..

[24:58
] O ye who believe! let those whom your right hands possess, and the (children) among you who have not come of age ask your permission (before they come to your presence), on three occasions: before morning prayer; the while ye doff your clothes for the noonday heat; and after the late-night prayer: these are your three times of undress (thalaathu awraatin lakum): outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about attending to each other: Thus does God make clear the Signs to you: for God is full of knowledge and wisdom..

[33:13]
Behold! A party among them said: "Ye men of Yathrib! ye cannot stand (the attack)! therefore go back!" And a band of them ask for leave of the Prophet, saying, "Truly our houses are bare and exposed (inna buyootana awraatun)" though they were not exposed (wa maa hiya bi awraatin) they intended nothing but to run away..

24:31
is a very interesting surah in the sense that

1. Only Shakir had translated “bikhumurihina” as “their head covers”. My suspicion though was that Shakir was either high on some halal fermented grain when he translated this, or he translated this surah to suit what is expected from the society, in order to save his head, so that he can further enjoy the future effect of those halal fermented grain. The word “head” in Arabic is “Roosa”, and HAIR is “ash'aa-ri” (16:80) for the sake of argument, also does not exist in 24:31, and which made me to come to the conclusion that indeed he, Shakir, at the time he translated this ,was either (a)high on something halal like tapai (b) was playing abracadabra (c) suck at human anatomy (d)had a knife pointed at his hidden ornament or (e) all of the above. You see, the word “bikhumurihina” if you check the concordance, has the same root word as the other surahs that has the word “khamran”, “khamru” , “khamri” (refer to 2:219, 5:90-91, 12:36, 12:41, 47:15) are translated a “intoxicants” which makes sense because intoxicants “covers” our consciousness.

2. In the case of “zeenat”, or translated as “ornament”, then this may mean actual ornaments women wear. But it may be possible that Arabic women back then could have worn ornaments, in places not appropriate for men that do not concern them in a relationship, to see. Another possibility would be including not just the ornaments worn in places I’ve just mention but also for example piercings in places where the sun don’t shine. I mean, in my job, trust me, the practice still goes on, whereby these girls (and sometimes guys) have piercings they take from the past practices. I get to see piercings in places that makes you go hmmmmm…if only such innovative abilities be used to solve the climate change problems. We must remember that Quran was given to the Arabs
(14:4). Furthermore, the verse “they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments (zeenata)” may strengthen my case because what moves when a woman strikes her feet??? Well, whatever that moves, the “hidden ornaments” are there….I leave that to your imagination folks.

So this may explain the verse “that they should not display their beauty (zeenata) except what appears thereof;” AND also the verse “not display their beauty (zeenata) except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no knowledge of women's nakedness (aw al tifli allazheena lam yaz-haroo ala awrati al-nnisa-i); and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments (zeenata)”. The fact that the word “servants free of physical needs” and “children who have knowledge of women’s nakedness” should indicate that what is important here is for women to cover the part in women’s body that incites sexual thoughts from men…(and nowadays women too, but that is another story no?) .

To me this is a choice given to society. We all can safely say that the degree of women covering themselves up is directly proportionate to the threshold of their men’s sexual stimulation. In some cultures, men do not easily get turned on even by naked women. In some, even the sight of ankles would turn men on. What I can say is that this also reflects how far in the journey of evolution these sort of men have moved away from their monkey ancestral.

3. Another thing about ornaments. If we were to look at surah
7:31-32, then we will notice that the word “ornament” is used in both ayats 31 and 32 and it simply means ornaments.

Surah
7:31 “O children of Adam, wear ornaments at every masjidin, and eat and drink and do not indulge; He does not like the indulgers
Surah
7:32 Say “Who has made unlawful the ornaments (zeenata) that God has brought forth for His servants, and the good provisions? Say,”they are meant for those who believe during this worldly life and they ewill be exclusive for them on the Day of Resurrection.” It is such that We explain the revelations for those who know.

4. Furthermore, “aurat” obviously refers to women's nakedness. How naked is naked depends on how nakedness effects men’s hormones (or women’s in case of today) in a society. Which, incidentally bring me to recall the question I like to post to people who insist women should wear head-cover. If covering the head is for protection of women from men who cannot control their breeding apparel, then men in a society of homosexuals should cover their heads too, so that the same fate won’t befall on them from the evil plotting of lusty gay men who are not called gay because they are happy. Using the same logic of problem solving in today’s “Islam”, perhaps they, the auta-rities, should apply the same method of problem solving involving homosexuality in society instead of insisting we punish them no??? Now…women AND men cover their heads…it may be as stupid as telling just women to cover their heads, but hey, if you want to be stupid, be the best moron….at least you can say that this is JUST if not gender equal-ish.

In the case of
24:58 it tells us that “children who have not come of age ask your permission” to enter during the time when it is likely for women to be in her nakedness. (thalaathu awratin lakum).

O ye who believe! let those whom your right hands possess, and the (children) among you who have not come of age ask your permission (before they come to your presence), on three occasions: before morning prayer; the while ye doff your clothes for the noonday heat; and after the late-night prayer: these are your three times of undress (thalaathu awraatin lakum): outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about attending to each other: Thus does God make clear the Signs to you: for God is full of knowledge and wisdom..


Finally, in
33:13 some people looking for an excuse not to help the Prophet say that their own houses are exposed towards enemy attacks (inna buyootana awraatun), when actually they are not (wa maa hiya bi awraatin)


Behold! A party among them said: "Ye men of Yathrib! ye cannot stand (the attack)! therefore go back!" And a band of them ask for leave of the Prophet, saying, "Truly our houses are bare and exposed (inna buyootana awraatun)" though they were not exposed (wa maa hiya bi awraatin) they intended nothing but to run away..


Last but not least, my other question would be “How would one advice sexy Madonna-like figures how to dress according to the Quran?”

24:60
The women who are past child bearing and who do not seek to get married have no sin upon them if they put-off their garments, provided they do not display their attraction. If they remain as they were, then it is better for them. God is Hearer, Knower.

p.s there are women who suffers early menopause even before their body had the time to surrender to gravity. How will the alamaks advice these women? Go around with garments put off?


3. THE CASE OF THE OTHER VERSES:

And there are other verses too, that men can use to help themselves not rape women if they are the type to get turned on merely by women’s hair (we’re talking about head hair here okay…just in case someone gets other ideas)
[24:30]"Say to the believing men, that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that will make for greater purity for them; and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do."

It's because God is well acquainted with all that we do and think, that He made sure He left us with no loopholes. So guys, stop staring at our boobs and get on with life...Oh, by the way, allow me to digress by saying, the word "boob" actually means, "stupid awkward person", or it could also mean "mistake or blunder", take a look HERE . So I guess the word "boobs" is derived from the word "boob" because, well, most of the time, men becomes stupid that could lead to danger, when they stare too long at women's breasts. Needless to say the plural version of 'boob' could only mean double stupor ergo jeopardy...It's no wonder God told women to hide their breasts from men's gaze and men to stop searching for lucky sightings.....

Moving alooooonnnnggggg…..

Then there is:

[33:59] "O prophet, tell your wives, your daughters, and the wives of those who acknowledge that they should lengthen upon themselves their outer garments. That is better so that they would be recognized and not harmed. God is Forgiver, Compassionate."

This surah is used to insist women have to close their whole body probably because of the word,” lengthen upon themselves their outer garments”. Like I’ve said some time ago, I would be worried if God asked women to lengthen their inner garments upon themselves… Maybe if God said to draw inner garment over a woman's person, women today will be clad in Superwoman costume (you know how superman and superwoman are not super until they wear their underwear and bra over their actual pants and body hugging shirts?).

Some people even insist that this means women have to cover everything, from top to bottom. Hmm…no wonder the Saudi Arabian insist their women banned from driving. It’s dangerous allowing them to drive when the whole body (and eyes of course, because they are part of the body not to mention head no??). What next? Cover (khamru) their minds with tapai? I mean, isn’t “mind” part of the body that need to be covered if according to the people who already have their mind covered with…idiosyncrasy.

Or if a society insist on covering the whole body, just don’t forget to poke two holes for the eyes and constant decongest the nose if need be. Funny, how women who cover their heads would throw their gazes in disdain upon women who don’t. Whilst both women look at each other in disdain, they differ in the reasoning behind the looks. The head covered women look at women with uncovered head as “content of hell” whilst the latter look back thinking, “hhhmmph…they are already there (in hell)”.

In my perspective, should covering a woman's head is THAT important, as it is made to become what it is today, would it not make more sense that god would have mentioned and reiterated it in a few verses , like other redundant verses that God felt important to repeat in order to emphasize/reiterate His statements? So how did this escalated to the point that in some parts of the world, women are even killed for not covering their heads. It is not even mentioned once that women need to cover their heads in the Quran


I think men should solve their hormonal problem by not asking the other party to suffer on behalf of their account, but they should do something for themselves if they need to solve their problem. In short, if you cannot contain your lust merely by looking at women’s hair, either close your eyes or go see the doctor.

20:2 We did not send down to you the Quran so you may suffer
20:3 It is but a reminder for the one who takes heed.

If human race is made to suffer…it’s simple then. It just mean that it is not from the Quran
