breathe in for luck
i would be lying to you if i told you i wasnt disappointed that you stopped calling, stopped texting, stopped leaving me offline messages.
you said you loved me, that it'd kill you for you to think that you made me cry. so really, tell me. whats the deal, because i'm not waiting another day for you to explain yourself.

i'm not really one to be political or take sides, but the denmark vs the muslim world thing is reaching fever pitch. i mean, lurpak alone is losing millions of bucks in a single day - $1.8 to be exact, and counting. definitely counting.
yes, we all love a laugh or two, but really, the west - denmark and the other european countries who reprinted that cartoon - should reconsider their "sense of humour" and "press freedom". i don't think it'll be as funny if someone were to do the same thing to, say, jesus christ. honestly, i think sensitive issues are sensitive issues for a reason and freedom of speech shouldn't even be called into play as a trump card. i mean, if that's the real basis as to the publication of that infamous cartoon, then it validates racism, doesn't it? and don't say we don't understand freedom of speech - we value freedom in islam too, but we also value, and practice, responsibility. so i believe before you point fingers at our supposed inability to go with the times, take a look at your purely idealistic concepts of democracy.
besides, the cartoons had their misconceptions, especially the fact that he was portrayed as advocating terrorist activities ("not enough virgins for suicide bombers") and violent means of spreading the word.
brief islamic history lesson - when the prophet rode into mecca with his army following a bloodshed by the quraysh on his people during a battle, even though they said they had an agreement that there wouldn't be any, many quraysh hid in their homes, afraid of the prophet's wrath, believing he would seek revenge. upon his arrival, however, bilal (one of the prophet's men and a former slave whom he'd saved from death) cried out to the people, "you can come out, you are safe. we will not hurt you." and mind you, in Al-Baqarah; 2:190, it states surely Allah loves not the aggressors. violent much? i don't think so.
honestly though, i miss my lurpak.
