religious tolerance and respecting religions.
[yawn.its been like more than two months since my last post? yeah, dat and its been dat long since i started this post. it was hanging there unfinished, till tonight i finally decided to complete and publish it.so here goes another post. and there are more stuff (not about religion) in the drafts.as i said earlier,im just too lazy to blog anymore.or maybe i say it all in on twitter,facebook and other people's blogs.]
Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, Catoons of Mohamed on the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten, a film made by Theo van Gogh (for which he was mudered) and many other such events lead to protests and bloodshed. Sorry that i have only mentioned only incidents related to Islam..its just that we get more news about Islamic intolerance than any other religion (you can blame it on the western media if you like or blame it on me or say there are more muslims in the world or simply accept the fact ..your choice. I am not implying anything here). Besides, this religion is closer to me than any other religion......Alrite, here is a Hindu intolerance incident; last year Bajrangdal activists attacked christian churches and people, responding to mass convertion of Hindus to Christianity. And the moral policing thing by hindutva activists who attacks women in pubs and attack people celebrating Valentines day.Generally speaking, most religions have these 'issues' with non believers... but followers of some religions express them more openly. it should also be noted that some religions have been reformed and evolved over the centuries, to fit in to the modern pluralistic societies..
why all these violent reaction?. why dont you guys let god protect his religion , and just calm down for sometime? Maybe he will strike these people with a thunder bolt or inflict eternal and uttermost torture when they die and go to his hell. O ye who believe; i hate to break this for you but if that is your religious obligation to make sure those who insult your religious sentiments are punished, then you are doing a really crappy job. because these insults are inevitable. Even if one dont say it out loud, everyone who dont follow your religion are 'saying' it. You have to punish em all. so we can say religious tolerance for the most part is kind of an oxymoron...atleast amongst the major religions. These major and dominant religions of the world aint capable of tolerance by their very nature but they all demand respect and tolerance. how exactly does one tolerate and respect a religion? im not really sure, but people say we should be respectful of other people's believes and never say anything which could insult them. but this is very wrong. religious tolerance is defined as "the condition of accepting or permitting others' religious beliefs and practices which disagree with one's own". permitting and accepting is not the same as respecting and not saying a word against them.
unbelievers are always insulting believers:
Let me expalin; religious groups have their own set of beliefs which they say are certainly true. For example religion X claims that person xx is a prophet and he was contacted by God. For those who dont believe in this claim usually there are two logical explanations:
(1) this guy (xx) is lying. or (2) this guy is crazy...or maybe both.
usually if they rule out these 'accusations', then they become believers in that religion. So, everyone who dont believe in that religion are accusing prophet xx to be either insane or a liar. This applies to all religions (almost). ..(dearest peaceful, sword wielding protectors of the most peaceful religion; i am talking about all religions in general. mmmkayyy?all of them. so calm down)
an example:
This can be applied to more detailed stuff about a belief system and not just prophethood. Here is a good example; Polygamy is permitted in mormonism and it is said that their founder Joseph Smith took more than 30 wives (including already married women). This could not be seen in a good light unless you are a mormon. you will probably think this guy is a selfish horny bastard who took advantage of superstitious, gullible people and his authority over them.What else could one think? This is so obvious. Ofcourse like all religions, mormons try to deny or justify it. For the believers of this religion, their prophet is the holiest and is infallible. Either this report is untrue or there is some other 'explanation' for this. Some of them say it is God's will and quotes what mr.smith said was the reason behind it; "by revelation—the saints of the Lord are always directed by revelation".
It does not take a second for a non-believer in Mormonism to recognise what is going on here. But the believers, blinded by their faith, do not smell anything fishy here. When a non-believer in their religion points out the obvious fact, they are insulted and hurt. Everyone is hurting them unless they believe it was infact God's will and done in accordance to revelation. So the only way to respect and honour a religion is believing them. as most religions claim to be the only true religion, one cant really believe in all religions....and this is how respecting religions (in the sense they demand us to)become impossible.
Freedom of Speech and feelings of believers:
What ive said so far does not mean religious tolerance is impossible.It is possible and necessary, but not at the cost of eliminating freedom of speech. A line should be drawn somewhere, and i dont think that line should be drawn by making religions too respectful to be even criticized. Because religions have an opinion about every single thing, and if we find it unacceptable, we are entitled to say so. That is freedom of speech. And if a group of people are insulted because of an opinion someone else hold against their personal beliefs, then every single human being will be insulted all the time. because every individual is different from the rest. If religion has to be respected so much that we cant even talk about them, so should the political ideologies, operating systems,taste of music, art or food, web browsers etc. And then we will all end up being hypocrites who praise even the things that we dislike and despise.
holy crap!
the religious texts of some religions are full of insults to people of other faiths, unbelievers or people who disobey their religious commands or leaves it totally. These insults and threats are cut out in their holy books. Now can we alter the word of God to make sure there is tolerance? no we cant. so these will remain as they are.This is rooted in the fact that most religions claim to be the only way to salvation and the only true religion. By this claim they are accusing others to be misguided, saying they will burn eternally in hell, they are dumb for not seeing the ‘obvious’ truth, they need to be guided or forced towards the right path etc. The Bible have a passages where Jesus calls jews the children of the Devil, liars etc. Church leaders have called Jews 'Christ killers'. Muslim recite Surah Al-Fatihah atleast 17 times every day. In this surah they call Jews 'those who have earned God's anger' and the Christians are called 'those who went astray'. Fearing that i may 'insult' some people i will not mention the several Hadiths which will hurt the feelings of non-muslims and people of certain faiths here. There are prophecies, like the muslim belief they will kill all jews before the judgement day comes, or fundamentalist christian belief that the temple mount will be reconstructed before the second coming of Christ (which means muslims will lose the middle east conflict in the end)…all these insult other religions. True, today we do not find wars among religion like earlier times. but we still have the same texts with us, will this hypocrisy of undeserved and childish respect for all religions hold off the violence? i dont think so.
respect? what respect?! thou shalt earn respect!
Respect is something which has to be earned. give respect to get respect! when you are cursing people for their personal choices which does not harm any other human being, for simply not believing what you believe, for expressing their opinions etc... dont you dare talk about respect. I dont really understand why the fuck we have to be respectful about religions. after all blasphemy is a victimless crime. one man's prayers is another man's blasphemy. one man's eternal truth, for another could be the biggest load of bullshit hez ever heard. (dont believe me? how many maldivians think scientology is NOT bullshit and NOT stupid?)
let us say... human beings ends up (because of some UN resolution like this maybe?) being hypocrites who cannot say anything critical of religions...then what happens? would there be religious tolerance?? They say religions need to be protected and respected unconditionally, even when they are plain stupid or when people of these beliefs dont respect other people's beliefs and ways of life. hell, they dont even respect another human being's right to live sometimes (sometimes based on their beliefs, sexual preference..etc). some beliefs just cannot be respected, or tolerated. for example jihadi islam which calls for war and world domination.
So, where exactly do we draw that line about respecting? wafa sultan said it all to a mullah while speaking live on jazeera tv. She said; "brother, you can believe in stones, as long as you don't throw them at me". right there. believe what ever the fuck you want to, but dont try impose it on others or to mess with other people's lives. That is where the line should be drawn. If someone says your religions sucks you need not be insulted, because it is a fact that he/she thinks so. But if someone attack you on the street because you believe a certain thing, that is a problem. well...not always...depends on what kind of crap you believe in. if they are violent and threatening other people, you deserve it. rational fear of a religion is no phobia at all. and it is definitely not hate. it is a justified fear...for example fear of a religious group who practice human sacrifice or terrorism is only natural. then again, stereotyping and generalising aint good either. its a totally different issue which i may discuss some other time.
i dont respect your beliefs.i think they are fuckin stuhpid!
personally i dont respect beliefs of other people because if dont believe it, i think they are fuckin stuhpid and unworthy of my respect. otherwise i would believe it in the first place. the reason i dont believe it is because it is unbelievable and stupid. however, i DO respect people's right to believe whatever they want to believe, as long as it does not harm anyone else. believe what ever the hell you want. believe in the flying spaghetti monster or the invisible pink unicorn. believe in barney the pink dinosaur and tinkerrbell. believe in your personal god who protects your family and lives under your bed. believe everything you can. i respect your right to believe. but there is no way on earth i will respect irrational beliefs. i will not just disrespect those beliefs which i think are dangerous to the society, i will despise them and refute them.some one believing that he will rise from the dead and smoke two ciggarettes does not really bother me. but beliefs that are widely accepted and are related to my life, our lives, our problems,suffering in the world..etc everyone should speak against them.i may hate a belief system for the harm it does, but it does not mean i hate the believers. I may sympathize with them because they are victims of these beliefs.
in short...
... religious tolerance has it's limits and is not the same as unconditional respect for religions.respecting other people's belief is impossible and stupid but respecting other people's right to believe what ever they want to -as long as it does not harm the society- is important. Religious tolerance is important but due to the nature of most religions, very difficult to achieve. however, CAN achieve it. we abolished slavery even when in the eyes of major religions it was not a crime. the problem is not people who criticize religions, but those who act like they have been raped when ever their religion is criticized. mankind should over come this insanity in order to pursue religious tolerance. The way to peaceful coexistence of religions is not by hushing the critics of religions, but curing the lunatics who goes into a hyperventilating fit of rage everytime their personal beliefs are criticized.
[the end]

on mvblogs censorship issue.
regarding the mvblogs censorship issue;
mvblogs should know that it represents the maldivian blogosphere. not maldivian hetero,islamic,politically correct or conservative blogosphere.it is just the blogosphere of maldivians.but there are certain things i want to point out:
1.mvblogs admins should decide what they consider to be a blog? what is eligible for being listed. there are certain news websites, some political party websites. for example, is the presidential website a blog? if i copy and paste pictures from google images, just anything i get. with no point in it. thousands and thousands of pictures. it that a blog? if i write boohaahaa. and publish it everyday. the same thing everyday. is that an eligible blog?blogs made for marketing reasons , are these eligible?these need to be discussed. so, then you can decide if gay/hetero porn is really blogging. pornography is free speech, i agree.. but is it blogging? that is for the admins to decide.
2.I also noticed that there are minors on the blogosphere who must not be exposed to adult content. most blogs do no ask to verify age. for example my blog sometimes have filth which should not be viewed by minors. but i think i cant stop writing because of that. personally i believe this is an issue parents should take care of.and the authourities should make sure they do. there is no way we can stop children like we did before.they will do it anyway...ok now im deviating...so.. the point is; as an official website which caters to people of different ages/belief systems, mvblogs should adress this issue. atleast for the kids. leave the belief systems; if they are offended, they can leave.they are offended by mere disbelief of others. no one can help that.
one way is to classify blogs in to categories, including porn or just generally adult content.and make sure users have to register or/and confirm age in order to view the website. so that; if a minor is visiting, the adult blogs will not be shown.
3. there are stuff other than porn which should not be viewed by minors. like blogs using extremely filthy language. i like these, they are fun to read. but children have to be protected from these. again it is for the admins to dicide. they can make this an adult only website and leave it for the parents to protect children from it. but i think children should not be kicked out.
4.censoring for any other reason, other than to protect kids is unacceptable. unless you decide that porn is not blogging. there should not be any discrimination between gay and straight porn if so. if you censor unislamic blogs to save your arses i wont blame you. you have a right to live. but i think it would be far more honourable not to continue it than to continue it with no freedom.remember...tolerance of intolerance is cowardice. i think you should not give in to such pressures. but it is up to you guys. its ur lives that are at stake.
besides, we can go on without mvblogs. with rss feed readers and follow funtion on blogger, we are connected even without mvblogs. i dont visit mvblogs.org as often as i did. therez just too much noise there. but i do visit ocassionally. and find new interesting blogs..wish you guys luck. hope you wont let us bloggers down. you cant make everyone happy.just do what you feel is right.maybe im missing somethings.im sleepy and bored.cant think any more. or write any longer.i wasnt planning on bloggin but had to post this one anyway. what every you do, thank you mvblogs.

...and then i thought about the first lady for a moment.
i dunno what is wrong with me. even during the busiest times ive ever been through i keep my blog(s) updated. i read and comment on blogs.i even blogged from my mobile when i dont have internet. i read blogs from my mobile for one whole month. i read stuff on the net, watch stuff on the tubes and flickr. but now it’s all gone.
I am kinda bizee right now.. but i think, generally it’s just layzee. im fukin bored and lazy. im frusty and dusty.im unfit and fucked. im in the kingdom of boredom.i think i AM the king of boredom. ok, what ever. exams are near and im gettin nervous. now i think i know why i get nervous like this. Last week i was a lab rat for psychology students in their practical exams and the teacher told me after an experiment that i am 4 percent extrovert. that; i already knew. im an extreme introvert, i always know that.even when I was a kid. but wtf? 84 percent neurotic too?!! duh. stuhpid psychology. i think that is too much, even for me. i dont want to go all exameee here, ok. coz exams come and go all the time. that is what we do. we do exams, we get jobs and then we die.
so.. what was i sayin? oh.. yeah. i was gonna rant. not about me, but about this thing which came to my mind today. Have you ever thought; "wtf is a first lady?"? it is a name give to a married, heterosexual, monogamous, president's wife. from the wikipedia article i understood it originated from USA- like many other bullcrap the world have got today. in the US they refer to wives of other executives like governors also by that name. they even have a special page on the whitehouse website for the president’s wife. Today i read in an associated press news article; someone was referring to the first lady as co-president. Stuhpid fuckers let Hilary Clinton mess up their health care system. Laura Bush gave a press conference at the Whitehouse briefing room, calling the Burmese government to accept foreign aids.So much for first ladies in the US.
I just don’t get these things.i just dont. Is there any chance that one day, women will run for first lady? What would their debates be about, I wonder. Sex and taking care of their husbands? or would it be like a beauty contest? Or will it be about their intellectualy capability? naah. it wont be an issue, no one cares about it when electing a president also.
i was wondering how did it make to Maldives? There is no official document which oblige us to call the president's wife by that name.but hey, we hear it all the time in the media. In the government media too, including the official documents of the office of the President. So we use it anyway.we are a bunch of idiots who believe and accept anything they say. you say name it, we'll buy it! thats us. Usually , in many countries like the US , these women do some interesting stuff. like charity or social work or sometimes gets involved in politics. We didn’t get to see many first ladies; the last one had this NGO which did a lot of work. It had outdone the national thalassaemia centre in fighting thalassaemia. impressive eh? Shez a strong woman. we are proud of her. she was able to make the president forgive her brother and include him in the cabinet even after he was guilty of corruption and tried to kill the president. Another interesting thing about her is that she did not wear the burugaa (veil) like most of the Maldivian women now do. No one could force her to do that. and apparently it was something a lot of Maldivians were very very concerned about. Maybe a valid concern given that, (apparently) God takes a lot of interest in these matters. These minute details about the tiny island nation's first lady's dresscode. He is so serious about this that from time to time he sends tsunamis and heavy rain; just as a simple reminder.what can we say,he is the all seeing all powerful. But I think, instead of crying out ayahs from the Quran and call Gayoom irreligious, the concerned people of Maldives could have solved it much more easily. just go to the 'first' lady and say this- very politely: "hey ma'm. Who do you think pay for your clothes, eh? we do! so when we say wear the veil, you wear the fuckin veil. no excuses, ok!" Well, if we should take so much interest in the personal affairs of the president (like who he sleeps with), we might as well try this. wouldn’t hurt to ask for that much.btw, Is there any allowance for the first lady? Under Article 102 of the constitution, the majlis have to decide on the salaries and benefits of the President. I bet there will be a huge sum of money for her in that.
It is not even a real job or post. It’s like 'intern to the chief' – the one which George gets to be in grey's anatomy. He is just an intern. She is just a wife. Just because the president screws her all the time doesn’t make her any special than other women. If it is so, what would happen when a womanizer becomes the president? Every girl he fucks becomes a numbered lady?then we might end up with the threehundred and first lady soon….Now dont give me that crap about marriage is not that and blah blah. i already know it. but even if love and commitment is brought in here, still doesn’t make any difference. She is still his wife. Okkkk... maybe it’s how things are, even if for no good reason. Alright then!! she is special. And we call her first lady anyway. I have no problem with that. maybe.But there are some serious questions which come to my mind, when i think about this. So i will just share some of these here. These issues should be discussed in the parliament, i am sure these are much more serious and important than most of the crap that goes on in there now.
It seems, if the president is a woman (naoozubillahi, milobuvethinvathan islaankan mathee abadhah) there will be a first gentleman. I think the same will apply if the president is gay and married to a guy (naoozubillahi, may he save us from the fate of sodom). Also, i have read that the vice-president's wife is sometimes called the second lady.
But what if, instead if instead of Anni, Gasim was elected president this time? would his second wife be called that (second lady)? would we then, have a third lady. too? and possibly a fourth lady. How do we give numbers to them? is it done by the order of the consummation of marriage? what if he divorces his first wife then marries her again? would she be first again, or should she be demoted to third?
Is it fair that Gasim gets paid from government funds for all his wives and Gayoom got paid for one only? To make it fair, should we give the sum of money for four wives even if the president have only one wife? What if a sheikh from Adhaalath party is elected president and he wants four wives and jaariyaas (sex slaves)? Should we build a harem for him? Should we not include anything about the first lady in the constitution or in our laws? are there any now?
Another piece of information i would like to share with you; "Graça Machel,is the third wife of former South African president Nelson Mandela and the widow of the late Mozambican president Samora Machel". she was the first lady of two countries. Maldivians doesnt seem to like this, which is why they wanted to bar Dr. Hassan Saeed from running for presidency just because he is married to a malaysian. But isnt that his own problem? So what, Anni's wife is a Maldivian but that does not mean he cant have an affair with a foreigner, let alone a threesome. It is also possible that he fall in love with a foreigner. If that thing against foreign first ladies was passed, would Anni have to step down if he falls in love with a foriegner? Is that a matter of national security? Maybe they would lock his dick and password protect it with a combination of two passwords - one for the 'first lady' one for the head of the Military. Cant be too careful, its a matter of national security.
Well, i think its enough to make you think about this. I can come up with few more questions like this. but im sleepy. that's my thing now. i sleep. that's all folks! duty calls, i gotta go.

congratulations everyone!!!
its a lil late maybe. but i just wanted to congratulate all of us on this historical occasion of kicking out a brutal dictator who ruled over us -with extreme power, in which ever manner he wished- for 30 consecutive years. yup, i may have a problem with my short term memory and i maybe insane. but i still mean all that. father of democracy? oh puleeeez, he is the same gayoom. we maybe in 'aneh dhivehi raajje' but that does not change facts (is the world flat now? Duh), or is everything upside down in aneh Dhivehi raaje?).
I really liked and is happy for and am proud of the example of democracy, maldivian people and leaders have shown in this election. how Anni and Gayoom adressed the people and how Anni did not want revenge or how gayoom have been offered security and pension. I do like the fact that Gayoom decided to stay with us. i believe in goodness in humans. I dint know what to say after watching that on TVM. i never saw that coming.Gayoom accepting defeat and Anni not taking things personally, how the people united against gayoom, how the people used the power of the ballot to achieve this, how peacefully they did this...everything is amazing and i am very very happy to see this day turning out like this
..........But still the facts will remain as they are. A theif will never say he is a thief (especially when he is a very good liar). This is not a matter of Anni's personal feelings towards Gayom. This has nothing to do with how humble he is. Do something else to prove that (try forgiving gayoom for your personal sufferings). Only the people can forgive Gayoom. This is just like Gayoom forgiving his brother in law and putting him back in the cabinet (and we forgot that too) or how he forgive dangerous criminals as afuaamu, to show that he is 'ghafoor-ur-raheem'. How could he?, when those money belong to Maldivian people.
I may not be very religious, but i do knowhow these kinda stuff work with God.... God have forbidden forgiving of this sort for himself. Things God can not (by his own will) forgive include; taking away the rights of other people, or harming another person unjustly. So inorder to get in to paradise, these people should be forgiven by their victims. Or another deal is to transfer their good deeds to the victim's account (if the sinner is out of credit, then he should transfer bad deeds from the victim's account and suffer for those).naaeeees.
my point is; that it is a good thing...something we can be proud of..that Gayoom is still with us, that he is safe and is being given all his rights and all the credit he deserve (if nothing else, it could make him feel reallybad inside maybe.heehee.). But stuff he does not deserve (like saying he brought democracy to maldives) should not be given, and justice should be served. we've got a lot of cleaning up (the mess he made) to do and a lot of rebuilding to do, i understand. but we should never forget the facts and the truth.
once again i congratulate the people of maldives, the opposition leaders, Anni, and Gayom for being so civilised and showing that good example of democracy.this is a happy moment.a turning point.a new dawn.a beginning, not an end.
and to keep a record;
The Reformists: 54.21% (97,222 votes)
The Dictator: 45.79 (82,121 votes)
Invalid Votes: 1,861 (dumbasses!)
Eligible Voters: 209,294
Turn Out: 86.08%
note: i am still alive, i am just away from my blog and the blogosphere for many reasons. and btw, would dhohokko be peeping down from heaven, and saying 'ah, there you go'....anywayz i dedicate this post to him.
