An ode to 'pastor' Terry Jones!


"A FOOL TAKES NO PLEASURE IN UNDERSTANDING BUT ONLY IN EXPRESSING HIS OPINION "

As you take time chewing on that rather colourful expression up there, let me caution you that if you were expecting a rather warm, fuzzy poem in the exact definition of the term 'ode'then I am sorry to disappoint you because this will be nothing like a an artistic creation, if anything I intend to make it far worse than the wildest of rants of this man's transgressions. God help me!

In case you are not yet familiar with who the man is, allow me, this is the guy who heads a small church in the US, who threatened to burn a couple of Quorans as a commemoration of the September 11th bombings in New York city.
Normally I would just walk away from this, maybe give a very small opinion and just move on because it is afterall his every right to express his opinion, I mean why not he is after all A grizzled 58-year-old who packs a .40-caliber pistol on his hip, Jones heads a small congregation -- maybe 50 members in all -- on a pine-studded tract of land in Gainesville, Fla. The Dove World Outreach Center, as the church is known, is in fact the kind of local, spirit-filled, Pentecostal-style church that is found in cities and rural areas across America, and have been since the earliest days of the Republic.

Then came this interview on conducted by Owen Benett Jones on the BBC, , and I could not shut up, I was amazed at how this man(with a masters degree by the way) could take ignorance to such low levels and still have enough gusto in his rusty tank to use some of it to come up and so explicitly back his so called "International Burn A Koran Day"! I mean what tha **** is wrong with this guy? Did he for some absurd reason take 'chemical X' instead of porridge in his infancy? What sort of University did he go to anyway? Those guys should annul the degree they awarded this guy?
Does he even know anything about International affairs?
This is a guy who visited Egypt and did so much as leave his Hotel room because he felt threatened! What the **** (pardon my french) Does he know that Egyptians are some of modest people and that the country gets alot of it's income from tourism?
He even had it in him to suggest that England is soon going to be taken over by 'Islamic extremists'

I could go on and on about this mans absurd ignorance but that would not end.
Unfortunately though, this man represents a huge core of Americans who think the world starts and end in front of their noses! That the world is America and America is the world!

Well guess what the world is moving on and has moved on Pastor! The next time you have the 'cravings' to cause a scene, at least get your facts straight!

Just who do the Egyptians think they are eh?

Today I am going full bloodied on this because it is not only inhuman but absolute carnage by the Egyptians but also the people in bed with them over the Nile water sharing agreement!, but first the facts! 1. The Nile Water Agreement of 1929, granting Egypt the lion's share of the Nile waters, was drawn up at a time when Egypt was a British satellite, regarded as strategically crucial by London because of the Suez canal, which controlled access to India. The agreement is now in effect enforced by international donors, who are reluctant to advance funds for major river projects that will upset Egypt, a key Arab ally of the US in the Middle East. Sub-Saharan countries cannot match Egypt's diplomatic clout, but they face a dilemma as a major untapped resource rolls through their territories. "We have reached a stage where all the Nile basin countries are confronted by domestic development challenges," said Halifa Drammeh, a deputy director of the United Nations environme

About Religious fundamentalism!

Wikipedia refers to fundamentalism as a belief in a strict adherence to an established set of basic principles (often religious in nature), sometimes as a reaction to perceived doctrinal compromises with modern social and political life. I on the other hand perceive it as a reluctance or better still the complete refusal to engage or in a mind set that is contradictory to your own. It is the extreme form of radicalism to me! Now in the last couple of days, President Barrack Hussein Obama ( as his tormentors so affectionately like to refer to him) has got the hard end of christian fundamentalists all over the world (but more so in the U.S) for his purported indifference at the proposed construction of a mosque right next to the site of the fateful September the 11th bombings in New york city. Because of that, a recent survey shows that 18% of Americans surveyed think President Obama is a Muslim, many argue that he is not in that case worthy to hold office simply because they believe to

Confessions of a non+alcoholic!

Some time last year I decided after what was fast becoming a pretty obvious pattern of life, that I needed to try something new, something different, I needed an experiment of some sort, only this time i was the guinea pig. So after a few moments of thought, well a little bit less than that I came to my decision, never mind the stark nudity in the social consequences involved. What I had decided on was alcohol, yes I know that sounds very wrong especially if you are me from even the most acute of angles but then again yes, besides this was an experiment and I could add purely for research reasons, as the Japanese say each time they are hunting our precious whales. Now obviously I was a very new entrant in the market but my knowledge for the drug was not of a new born, I knew a thing or two and that came in handy. On the few occasions when the 'laboratory 'was in good order I asked only for what the not so ordinary twenty something year old would define as the "sexy"
