Latest Bushism: “I can press when there needs to be pressed; I can hold hands when there needs to be — hold hands.” –George W. Bush, on how he can contribute to the Middle East peace process, Washington, D.C., Jan. 4, 2008

Religious Hypocrisy

This video is truly hilarious and probably has nothing to do with the title of the post, but Hajjaj conveys, to some extent of course, the fake open-mindedness some of us expatriates claim to have adopted far away from home.

Of course I am all for standing for one’s principles and beliefs, but there are people who manage to simultaneously live in both sides of the fence and who eventually appear as hypocrites.

It kind of reminds me of those people who have no problem committing the seven sins [السبعة وذمتها] … yet when the Adhan calls, they’ll take a break from whatever bad thing they were doing, as if nothing’s wrong, pray, and then resume the wrongdoing after prayer … and of course when you dare to question their integrity, they’d say something to the effect of (إن الصلاة تنهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر) (Prayer restrains from indecency and evil deeds. (29:45)).

So, in other words, those people will continue to commit all the sins they can possibly commit in a one lifetime and pray for forgiveness in the hopes that God shut his eyes and overlooked all what they did. Well I would rather not pray at all than be a double-faced hypocrite who will probably serve more time in hell than someone who never prayed but never committed as much sins.

Anyways, do enjoy the video :-)

Old Turkish habits die hard!

On Reuters Oddly Enough, I read and watched this:

Istanbul’s Club Fox on the Marmaris coast the belly dancer’s hips gyrate and tassels swirl to the music but the stomach is a little hairier than usual — it’s a man’s.

Male belly dancers are thrilling audiences in Turkey and other European capitals, drawing on a tradition dating back to Ottoman times when men in the Sultan’s palaces were entertained by young male dancers as the women lived separately in harems.

Here’s the youtube link to the male belly dancer … and …. umm, wait a second here! What was that again? The Ottomans brought male dancers to entertain them while their women lived separately in harems?

How sick is that?

No wonder they were referred to it as The sick man of Europe.

It all makes perfect sense now. icon_mrgreen.gif
