UnIslamic Muslim?

Well, the thing is, I can no longer stand male chauvinist stupid remarks, hiding under their own interpretation of Islam, which to me is nothing Islamic, but just polemic,
Muslim men always got away, putting the blame on women, scroll down, you'll see what I mean. duh...

KB council bans lipstick, high heels

KOTA BARU: Muslim women employees working here are forbidden to wear lipstick and high-heeled shoes to work.

This directive is contained in a municipal council circular dated May 25 and signed by its president Shafie Ismail, which has been distributed to business premises here.

A check, however, found that only a few tenants had received the circular this week.

The circular stated that the directive, targeted at Muslim women employees working in food outlets and other business premises, was issued to prevent incidents like rape and illicit sex as well as to safeguard the morals and dignity of Muslim women in Kelantan.

It stated that Muslim women were forbidden to wear thick make-up, bright coloured lipstick and high-heeled shoes which made a tapping sound.

Those who insisted on wearing high-heeled shoes should choose those with rubber soles.

Attempts to contact Shafie for clarification were futile.

The directive on the wearing of lipstick and high-heeled shoes are in addition to the wearing of scarves, which should cover the chest and not be of transparent material, blouses with long sleeves, which were long and loose, as well as socks.

Those who do not adhere to the regulation can be fined up to RM500. – Bernama

whats next? forbidding them to shower, because from male chauvinist point of view, smelling good is sexually appealing as well I guess
uhh

p.s. probably he didn't meant to be sexist, but the problem is most of us Muslim thinks like that, its a problem of mindset which I am not sure where it came from.

LOVE

I can live only wholly with you or not at all -
Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits -
Yes, unhappily it must be so -
You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never -
Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves.
And yet my life in V is now a wretched life -
Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men -
At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection?
My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once -
Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together -
Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell.
Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours


Dont get me wrong!
I went for a movie las weekend, and I think that was the most beautiful piece of love poem I ever heard

Sorry for being invisible

Salam my frens and visitors
I owe u all an apology, as I am long time away or being invisible or whatever equivalent term that refers to not being able to update my blog
I know don't even know what I stand for, in certain issues that I have been struggling for so long, please be kind to me, and forgive my disappearance.
I think I need time to reclaim myself and do a bit of soul searching beside the demanding workload of my research.
-me being not so strong anymore-
