A Muslim female psychologist, Wafa Sultan from Los Angeles interviewed in Al Jazeera TV on 21 February 2006.

“The crash we are witnessing around the world is not a clash of religions, or a clash of civilizations. It is a clash between two opposites, between two eras. It is a clash between a mentality that belongs to the Middle Ages and another mentality that belong to the 21st century. It is a clash between civilization and backwardness; between the civilized and the primitive; between barbarity and rationality. It is a crash between freedom and oppression; between democracy and dictatorship. It is a clash between human right on the one hand, and the violation of those rights, on the other hand. It is a clash between those who treated women like beasts, and those who treat them like human beings.”

“What we see today is not a clash between civilizations. Civilisations do not clash but compete.”

A commentator asked, “I understand from your words that what is happening today is a clash between the culture of the West, and the backwardness and ignorance of the Muslims.”

She replied. “Yes, that is what I mean”.

Commentator: “Who come up with the concept of a clash of civilizations? Was it not Samuel Huntington? It was not Bin Laden. I would like to discuss this issue, if you do not mind….”

She replied, “The Muslims are the ones that began using this expression. The Muslims are the ones that began the clash of civilizations. The Prophet of Islam said, “I was ordered to fight the people until they believe in Allah and his Messenger.” When the Muslims divided the people into Muslims and Non-Muslims, and called to fight the others until they believe in what they themselves believe. They started this clash and began this war. In order to stop this war, they must re-examine their Islamic books and curricula, which are full of calls for takfir and fighting the infidels. My colleague had said that he never offends of other people’s beliefs, what civilization on the face of this earth allows him to call others by names they did not choose for themselves. Once he calls them Ahl Al-Dhimma. Another time he calls them “the people of the Book”. And yet another time he compares them to apes and pigs. Or he calls the Christians “those who incur Allah’s wrath. Who told you they are “people of the Book”? They are not “people of the Book”, they are people of many books. All the useful scientific books today are theirs, the fruits of their free and creative thinking. What gives you the right to call them “those who incur Allah/s Wrath,” or “those who have gone astray,” and then come here to say that your religion commands you to refrain from offending the beliefs of others?

I am not a Christian, a Muslim or a Jew. I am a secular human being. I do not believe in the supernatural, but I respect others” right to believe in it.

Another commentator asked, “Are you a heretic?”

She replied, “You can say whatever you like. I am a secular human being that does not believe in the supernatural.”

The commentator said: If you are a heretic, there is no point in rebuking you, since you have blasphemed against Islam, the Prophet, and the Koran…

She interjected: “These are personal matters that do not concern you. Brother, you can believe in stone, as long as you do not throw them at me. You are free to worship whomever you want, but others’ belief is not your concern, whether they believe the Messiah is God, son of Mary, or that Satan is the son of God or Mary. Let people have their beliefs. The Jews have come from the tragedy (of the Holocaust), and force the world to respect them, with their work, not their crying and yelling, Humanity owes most of the discoveries and science of the 19th and 20th centuries to Jewish scientists. 15 millions people, scattered throughout the world, united and won the right through work and knowledge. You have not seen a Jew blow himself in a German restaurant. We have seen a single Jew destroy a church. We have not seen a single Jew who protests by killing people. The Muslims have turned three Buddha statues into rubble. We have not seen a Buddhist burn down a Mosque, kill a Muslim or burn down an embassy. Only the Muslims defend their belief by burning down churches, killing people and destroy embassies. This path will not yield any results. The Muslims must ask themselves what they can do for humankind, before they demand that the humankind to respect them.”

DO U KNOW THIS…?

An Indian has discovered that nobody could create a folder anywhere named as "con" in the Windows Operating System.

This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... Microsoft's Windows Team, including Bill Gates, could not answer why this happened!

Try for yourself if you don't believe.....

Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for math and science? This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. See example below.

Hardware = barangkeras
Software = baranglembut
Joystick = batang gembira
Plug and play = cucuk dan main
Port = lubang
Server = pelayan
Client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH:

That server gives a plug and play service to the clients using either hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.

Now in BAHASA:

Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.

Now you know why..

If you read the stories written below by others, I will tell you
my own story exactly as what they said and witnessed by me:

Please Forward The Story To Everyone You Know:

I stayed in Pulau (island) Redang And Pulau Perhentian In
Terengganu for 2 weeks due to my research and I observed a lot of things done by the local youngsters to the ladies visited there.

The VICTIMS were those who came alone or with group of girls only, most of them came with one female friend. They acted as a normal driver of the boat for the resorts but they selected the lone or girls victims mostly the dumb Chinese girls and western ladies.

But if the girls were accompanied by guys, they will not dare to touch. When they reached the snorkeling area, they will 'HELP' the ladies by holding their hands to snorkel here and there, most of the Chinese ladies wear exposed and sexy swim wears and they will peeped their nipples and underwears from behind.

The worst part was they seen to bring along their local friends to join the club, to get one or two victims everyday. they gathered on jetty and looking at their preys. Then, they will guide the girls to a plastic containers with fresh water to wash them up, sometime trying to 'help' them by touching their body parts. They girls thought they were friendly and helpful but they have others intention.

After the girls were so busy to wash and clean up, the locals will at that time handed them mineral water (with something inside), the girls will not aware at the time and drank it. It happened everyday and I watching it everyday. Then suddenly the girls will allow them to hold their hands and walked to the boats and go away to the resort and finally to the rooms with the others local 'friends' followed behind 'TO JOIN THE PARTY'!!! Sometimes they will ask the local or western ladies do they like to have some sun block cream. Then they will apply some on their skin.

Once, to my surprise the lady naked her breast and let them 'played'. Then I knew what they applied was actually the 'Minyak Dagu ? Corpse Oil', one type of 'Jampi or Curse Oil' so that you will love them. They kissed her until she was bring to the room. SURPRISE!!! ( I think I and my fellow friends were handsome 100 times then the local guys?haha) Please remember Terengganu state , the Black Magic is strong over there.

Remember, I observed these for 2 weeks but cannot stop them, they have many many friends around, if I questioned them , I will be introuble...over there. I hope every lady took precaution on this matter and forward it to everyone. Just let them know that if the drivers were so friendly and took advantages on them, they have to beware. I was so frustrated because the girls so dumb to trust them. I asked one of the victim and she said she didn't remember anything but She said she have some DREAM that she have sex with the locals,?. SEE !!!

Please read what written by others below. My story is true here

########################################################################
Beware when you're going out snorkling especially ladies' & girls' team only. Boatmen would drug the mineral water when your are busy snorkelling. Later you passed out after drinking the water when you get back on the boat. There are insufficient evidence to prosecute them cause they cleverly done their job including dressing up victim nicely to original & don't leave any traces behind even ejected externally. And when the victims awakened they were told they had a short nap. Salt water further makes it difficult for them to discover on the spot until perhaps later.

This happened in Pulau Tioman and can happened any other places. Victims include Italian, American Japanese, Chinese, Arabian & even Malays.

Please pass this message on to all the world.

Cerita dari pemandu bot sendiri..

Kepada saudara / saudari yang diingati selalu,

Untuk makluman anda, maklumat yang saya dapat ini adalah amat
berguna untuk dijadikan teladan anda semua. Saya diberitahu oleh kawan saya
iaitu seorang guru di pulau Tioman tentang tindak tanduk pemandu bot yang
berkhidmat disana. Bagi yang ingin pergi bersantai ditengah laut dan snorkling tu, terutama gadis perlulah beringat-ingat. Hal yang saya nak ceritakan ini adalah diceritakan sendiri oleh pemandu bot tu kepada kawan saya.

Pemandu bot tu menceritakan dengan penuh bangga tanpa mempedulikan hal haram dan dosa. Kepada pemudi yang ingin bersantai ditengah laut, diingatkan
pergilah berempat. Dan jangan kurang dari tiga orang. Untuk pengetahuan
semua, pemandu bot ni akan meminta dan mengesyorkan gadis- gadis (biasanya budak U yang ingin melancong) membeli air mineral dsb nya dengan alasan gadis akan haus ketika di tengah laut nanti. Dengan hasil perihatin tadi si gadis ni pun pergi lah beli air mineral. Dalam perjalanan ke tgh laut, pemandu bot nampak bersahaja dan kita tidak tahu niat syaitan yang sebenar yang tersemat pada benak dan hati batu pemandu bot ni.

Semasa berenang didasar yang cetek (Pulau Tioman), pemandu bot akan memasukkan sedikit minyak jampi yang didapati dari bomoh pulau kedalam air mineral yang dibeli oleh gadis U ni tanpa disedari oleh mereka berdua (gadis tu la) dan dibiarkan larut dan sebati.

Setelah penat berenang gadis ni pun naik ke atas bot dan segera minum air mineral yang dibeli tadi. Dengan tidak semena-mena gadis2 tu rasa pitam dan
pengsan sekejap. Maka pada masa pitam nilah pemandu bot akan mengambil
kesempatan membuka pakaian gadis2 tu satu persatu dan merogol gadis2 U tu
tadi.

Untuk pengetahuan, pemandu bot ni pandai. Setelah meneroka, merogol dan
mengeluarkan airnya ( pancut \ luar), dia akan mengenakan kembali pakaian gadis dengan rapi. Setelah gadis tu terjaga pemandu bot akan mengatakan cik adik tertidur sebentar tadi. Setelah dua , tiga hari si gadis ni akan mengalami sakit di kemaluan dan akan mendapatkan rawatan. Setelah diperiksa, DR menyatakan yang gadis ni dah tiada dara. Perkara ini dah dibawa ketengah. Pihak polis dah siasat tapi oleh kerana tak cukup bukti, kes ini lebur begitu saja. Bila di soal, penduduk kampong kat pulau tu, konco2 pemandu bot dan termasuk pemandu bot itu sendiri akan menafikannya. Yang sedapnya pemandu bot tu juga tapi yang akan bocor rahsia pada malam pengantin gadis malang tu la jugak. Sebabnya telus dan tak ketat lagi dah.

Jadi dengan itu, beringat-ingat lah jika ingin pergi berseronok biar lah bertiga atau berempat. Sebab perkara jahat seperti itu datang tanpa diduga seperti tsunami.
Perkara begini telah mencetuskan perihatin saya terhadap masyarakat sejagat.Kemana kita pergi hendak beringat2 (termasuklah mana2 pulau di Malaysia atau didunia ni. Jadi sampai-sampaikan lah kepada anak perempuan,
kawan2 perempuan dan semua orang perempuan Cerita yang saya sampaikan
adalah benar dan diceritakan oleh pemandu bot itu sendiri kepada kawan saya.

Pemandu bot itu mencerikan dengan megah dan bangga. Macam dunia ni dia yang punya. Tapi bila mati tak ditanya terus kene azab. Dia bangga kerana berjaya meragut mahkota perempuan yang tak tahu dan leka terhadap keadaan sekeliling.

Pemandu bot ni kata dia dah tibai semua jenis ****Italian, American, Japanese, Chinese, Arabian, Melayu kita ni. Tapi dia kata hak melayu jugak best sebab susah nak dapat?.tapi sekali dah dapat yang lawa pulak tu??phhhrrrrrr!!! Best nyer kate pemandu bot tu lah.

Dear All
Please take down or memorize the emergency number for all GSM Mobile (012, 013, 016, 017, 019) is 112.


It's 112 not 999 - Pay Attention-Must read!!!!

A young lady was robbed and slashed on the face two days ago in Taman Desa. She just got off from her car and was in front of her friend's house pressing door bell.. She saw a motorbike with two men coming toward her direction but she thought they were security guards. Then before she knew anything, one of the men has already slashed her face with a knife and grabbed her bag. She didn't know it was a cut until she touched her face and found out it was bleeding. She was screaming out of shock. One of the man came back (they were already on the motorbike and ready to leave) and tried to slash her again. Luckily she was able to hold on his hand to stop the attack. At that time, her friend came out to check what happen and the men quickly ran away.

The cut was 9 cm long and 1 cm deep. Now those robbers' tactic! is to hurt you first before they rob you so that you are handicapped and can't resist them. Even later there are someone to help, they have to rescue you first instead of chasing them.

Please be alert all the time and take every precaution measure you could.

Emergency Number:

Please be aware the Emergency Number worldwide for GSM Mobile (012, 013, 016, 017, 019) is 112 and not 999.
You can dial 112 even without a Sim Card. If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you.
Do share this important info with your family members and friends

Do Burned CDs Have a Short Life Span?
John Blau, IDG News ServiceTue Jan 10, 8:00 AM ET

Opinions vary on how to preserve data on digital storage media, such as optical CDs and DVDs. Kurt Gerecke, a physicist and storage expert at IBM Deutschland, has his own view: If you want to avoid having to burn new CDs every few years, use magnetic tapes to store all your pictures, videos and songs for a lifetime.

"Unlike pressed original CDs, burned CDs have a relatively short life span of between two to five years, depending on the quality of the CD," Gerecke says. "There are a few things you can do to extend the life of a burned CD, like keeping the disc in a cool, dark space, but not a whole lot more."

The problem is material degradation. Optical discs commonly used for burning, such as CD-R and CD-RW, have a recording surface consisting of a layer of dye that can be modified by heat to store data. The degradation process can result in the data "shifting" on the surface and thus becoming unreadable to the laser beam.

"Many of the cheap burnable CDs available at discount stores have a life span of around two years," Gerecke says. "Some of the better-quality discs offer a longer life span, of a maximum of five years."

Distinguishing high-quality burnable CDs from low-quality discs is difficult, he says, because few vendors use life span as a selling point.

Similar Limitations

Hard-drive disks also have their limitations, according to Gerecke. The problem with hard drives, he says, is not so much the disk itself as it is the disk bearing, which has a positioning function similar to a ball bearing. "If the hard drive uses an inexpensive disk bearing, that bearing will wear out faster than a more expensive one," he says. His recommendation: a hard-drive disk with 7200 revolutions per minute.

To overcome the preservation limitations of burnable CDs, Gerecke suggests using magnetic tapes, which, he claims, can have a life span of 30 years to 100 years, depending on their quality. "Even if magnetic tapes are also subject to degradation, they're still the superior storage media," he says.

But he's quick to point out that no storage medium lasts forever and, consequently, consumers and business alike need to have a migration plan to new storage technologies.

"Companies, in particular, need to be constantly looking at new storage technologies and have an archiving strategy that allows them to automatically migrate to new technologies," he says. "Otherwise, they're going to wind up in a dead-end. And for those sitting on terabytes of crucial data, that could be a colossal problem."
