I walked home in the rain today cuz i forgot to bring my umbrella. Thank God it wasnt too heavy. Anyway I was reading about mas selamat bin kastari today. I probably have no license to feel sorry for them but I do. I know they're terrorists but they ARE still human. As Atticus put it, "A gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they are still human." I don't care if he actually reads this or what. Maybe it's good if he reads this and comes after me. I wouldn't care. What he's doing really isn't helping anybody. Firstly, if he doesn't care about the entire human race, he could at least care about his five children and probably his wife. What would they do if he was gone? What would the children do if their father was gone? He wouldn't live to see them grow up. He wouldn't ever get to hug them or kiss them good night. And the children would never be able to receive the love of a father. Did he expect his family to just watch him slowly falling into the darkness and watch him walk away? If he doesn't care about himself, he should at least care for probably the only people who loved him. He may think he's doing some sort of great work for Allah or something but a so-called god who can't stand up for himself and needs the work of mere humans to help him is a fake superstition. In any case, muslims around the world do not approve of these terrorist acts too. I went to this website where they were discussing these things. There someone said that these people are not recognised as muslims even though they think they are doing right. If im not wrong i think the koran did not state that Allah or whatever wanted to use violence. Let me ask you something, if you kill all the people in the world, what way would that help your god? They're dead, so you cant convert them to your own religion no matter what you tried. Isn't the purpose in our religious lives to get more people to turn to your own religion? It is not to kill off all the people. Imagine the people out there who are mourning because he killed their friends, relatives, parents, children. How the heck would he like it if someone came along from another religion, tortured his family and blasted them into bloody bits "for their god"? How the heck were these people persuaded into this mindless murdering? I read a little bit of the koran because that's as much as i'd want to get, and they said something about "those who are unbelievers, the wicked". Even if we are wicked, it doesn't mean we can't change or anything. But I'm sounding like I believe in Islam. Fine I don't but I just really do not understand how thinking, feeling humans who are fully capable of loving and comforting others can become such cold, metallic robots and bits of twisted metal and uranium. I don't care what god anybody thinks made us but that god must've had his or her own purpose in creating humans, not robots. He'd have wanted us to love one another. If he'd had wanted all of us to be muslims, he'd have made all of us muslims instead of killing of everybody off. In any case i wonder if i'd be brave enough to risk my own life for the lives of others and if i'd be as brave as here on the safety of the computer. Mas Selamat bin Kastari's courage is outstanding in the fact that he is willing to risk his life (and others') for what he believes in but its a question of whether that is in accordance with with what he was originally taught, or just his blind following of the rules and orders of others. I suppose it's also what is happening to christianity. Anyway what am i getting so hyped up for because nobody will ever read this. *sigh* bye.
