What does an East Indian muslim born in Africa, married to a Canadian, living in Texas, stay at home dad, think of what is happening in the world?

Whats going on?....

"Brother Brother, there are far too many of you dying,
Mother, mother, there are far too many of you crying" Marvin Gaye, "Whats Going On"

Look around us, its mind boggling. I have posted much, because I just can't believe the stuff and after a while it becomes repetitious. The world is at a cross roads. The people and the masses seem to have caught the wind of change. Which is a huge plus for me and people like myself who have wanted to see this for a long time. However the people in charge, governments and leaders are going crazy. It should be expected, since its their world which will be overturned.

China is banning songs; (really America should fear this country), Russia wants the world to talk to Syria ( apparently Syria hasn't killed enough people yet); Taliban keep killing people in the name of Allah ( does Allah know this?); protest are going global, from Israel to India to Nigeria to China. Food, Prices, Jobs, Rights. AND OBAMA PLAYS GOLF!

America is not immune to the craziness. Rick Perry is leading the republicans?!!!!! What the Fuck? My out of this world bet is this homo-phobic, ultra conservative crook is going to turn out to be like HOOVER. Why not? Is anything in this world far fetched anymore?

Luckily for you all, I am still the same. I, who is always growing and learning have learned this week: if you have a lot of money, you can convince the DA in NY state not to give a person you raped their day in court. How do the democrats in NY get off lecturing the world on rights and equality and justice....rape on Strauss-Kahn.

a little Marvin to help us get thru.....

Diet during Ramadan

Diet during Ramadan?  Maybe it's the hunger, but lately I see stories all about food shortages.  Muslims world wide are fasting, however the world is starving not by choice.  Ramadan was designed to show Muslims how the less fortunate live and to point out the blessings we have.  
Amidst this background there are globally stories which highlight absurdity and hope.
Al Shabab refuses aid to the poor and the starving. They refuse NGO's and they blame infidels.  They are the satans in the world.  Allah would not allow food to his children?  REALLY! 
They banned the sale of samosas because they aren't Muslim.  Is there any wonder the country is hell? These people make execution an acceptable option even for pacifists. 
However the aid is now going to the heart of Somalia.  It could be the opening of the door.  
Quick other interesting food news:
-Israel had protests this week about cost of living.  Amazing to see even in Israel, food has become more important than the hate of Palestinians.  This week it was lower price for cottage cheese. 
-New study finds healthy diet and exercise do not guarantee long life.  It may be more related to your genetics.  Pass the donut baby!!!!
