Time to honour the loss of 150 000+ people of Asia, and the years long struggle that our societies will face to recover from the loss. aceh has suffered incredible carnage...its hardly imaginable...heres to wedding ummah support to their recovering li velihoods for the long term.
Very scary to see imperialist forces 'helping'.
The opportunity to donate is being provided by heaps of charities, may their work be accepted in His service. And political points are being scored by imperial western governments as ever. The British people shamed our government with their real good nature and open heartedness these past couple of days.
Desh sent some ships(4 gemini boats then later....the Turag and Sangu) planes (c130) and helicopters(2 Bell212) as well as medical and engineering teams and some water purification plants. We assume that a lot goes trhough informal channels as well.
i think they went to maldives and sri lanka.. hope they perform inshAllah.
what to do?
start back at uni tmrw with added motivation i guess.

I love Turkey, how dare they sneer down their noses
im talking about european attitudes to turkey....and probably sellout turks(a few) commenting on their own percieved inadequacies.
in a BBC report they (how conveniently) pick on some one who remarks "We are a young country, and we lack Europe's enlightenment, but the EU process will help us. Turkey is now fulfilling its destiny."
we lack europes 'enlightenment'? right? the only group of people whos culture is so deranged and destructive that they have generated devices and practices to poison and destroy this world....all for their growth. bluddy heck, i wish so many easterners werent so westoxified.
anyway, general uk media is very patronising of Turkey, turkey whos prenational legacy gave the ummah so much, whos people would be a blessing to their 'continent'
i think its a win win situation for turkey, if europes own rascism, double standards and colonial intent proves too much, given Prime minister Erdogans sincerity and plurality...then we know the character of this europe. that it is has not changed its spots. maybe then that westoxifies and antiislamic element in turkey will have less of a leg to stand upon.
If it goes forward, then i am really happy for them, cos apparently im European..
they say turkey is 'poor' and 'cruel'...... flippin intolerant government mouthpiece imperialist scuzzbuckets.
thinking about the rest of the ummah....what difference does it make if turkey is part of the european bloc? does it loosen ties with its 'sister states' in central asia.... with Prof Ihsan ogle and Erdogan doing so well (inshallah)
or are we playing the muslims card in the Pharoahs court? of course there is more value in it these days, given the Wests recent pathalocigal insecurity.
but what for the progression of Islamic ideals, thoughs, philosophies, peoples and ambitions?
one thing for sure, is that ummah members cant expect their brothers to slowdown and sacrifice these openings to bail them out.
Eurocentricity is a problem that europe, the US and decultured elites of the South and East need to be cured of. it does not need to be spread deeper into the human culture.
Sucking up like this is damaging to the dignity of that project.

Back from Malaysia
Educational as all things generally are in this world. My visit was by no means representative as the world i think conspired to shove hordes of interesting people my way. Only two Weeks though :-(
Lots of well educated people going about the business of plotting together for social justice (Friends of the Earth Malaysia...but it was the first to bear that name and in malay its got the words sahabatul Alam in the title, The Consumers Association of Penang), doing cultural J and other wot nots. Musically_ Phoenix Bangkit by M Nasir and visually through the film Puteri Gunung Ledang (the princess of Ledang mountain). Educationally and islamically through the Multiversity, The International Islamic University of Malaysia and ISTAC (may Allah protect them from screwing up or taking damage from malicious and hegemonic sources).
Technologically there are people, with resources of a kind, thinking about humanising this techie techi world of ours.
of course not every thing is rainbows, lots of bangladeshi, indonesian and southa asian exploitation going on. please malaysia sort out a love drenched policy on these matters. I understand the need for a bhumiputra policy, but this affirmative action craziness might end up being detrimental to the lifeforce of the malays.
anywway am gonna try and stick some photos up"!!

enrolling
O really would like to register, but would appreciate it if the beaurocracies would have prior warning of me and prepare for my arrival with a complete understanding of whatever is meant to be going on between the department, the school , the uni, the research council and little old me.
Oh yeah, LEAVING the house might be a start on my behalf also.
Umma, Ubba and S bhaiya went and got a new telly today, the old one died on us a week or so ago, this ones funny, its got dodgy proportions and distorts the fatness of people.
I wonder if Kofi Mama is gonna show some spine one of these days.
Lest I forget the forgetable Bangla TV awards. I went expecting Cultural J. but witnessed a bit of abuse cultural museum piece media. Shame on them. I know 14 year old pregnant mothers who could arrange a more polished affair standing on their heads. I hope they improve, cos that cultural label is doing nobody any favours. The dude who won the best baddie award was the highlight of my evening though.
I really felt like dying during the proceedings though. and then again when i saw a nutty 'uncle type' lurking in the foyer. oh no and attack of fat bengali women aaaargh La hawla wa la qoowatah..
I have bluddy awful cold.
The Belum Project looks like it needs some fundraising. gosh. more on this later.

incentives and bland blogs
it has been a couple of weeks, which i hope i remember in years to come.
-Don't trust people to be as open with information as you are, especially if they know you have delusional levels of ummahticity and aren't particularly creative.
-Ralph Nader is a don, US based consumer based clever dude and 3rd runner for the US presidency. I thing he should still run and people should still vote for him despite the 'tactical advantage' of voting kerry. if you dont beleive in somebody you can beleive in, then your vote is wasted.
-Judd Books (somewhere near kings cross) is the future!!
-Students are cheap and their happiness can be bought for very small amounts.
-Money industry people talk crap. Bless.
-Pakipop is rather good.
-Not all medics are foolish children.
Hoping to leave my job in a few weeks and get stuck in to the research

So whats new Huh?
Well i spose i should start by being really greatful. Allah sorted it so my dreamy and ummahtic research is going to be fueled.
been dossing quite freely this week, perhaps a little to freely. need to get some discipline if i am to can this project in tim.
i hope this casual work one doesnt endup like the last 'work interlude'. the boss seems good natured, well mannered and actually interested in what i can do, which is a good sign. Only scarey thing is when people flatter you...beware
Things in Bangladesh are really kicking off now, Oppositions activists were bombed during a rally in Dhaka while protesting against getting bombed during a protest against 'tewowist phundamentawist, communal, corrupt, war cwiminal'
Many senior leaders were seriously harmed, but the Awami league Boss got home safely. The student wing of the party has gone beserk and are angrily setting fire to things averywhere. The leadership of the party hasnt wasted any time in pointing fingures and calling for the government to resign and call early elections.
Government needs to get a handle on the security situation in the country. This is humiliating for everyone.
world has gone mad, but we new that a long time ago. everyone has a stake and some political capital in violence. Lets hope this brings out the best in people and that the crimes can be dealt with in a just and swift manner.
Innalillahi wa innailayhi rajiun (Whatever comes from God, returns to him)
A vicous, atheist and rude bdeshi 'intellectual' died in his sleep earlier this week, I hope he sought forgiveness before his departure from this realm. His family were pushing the idea of his burial in a place of islamic and national prominence, Dhaka University mosque with Nazrul Islam the National Poet Thich was amusing because of his repeadet abuse of the Prophets and Islam in general through statements and writings during his life. the University said 'piss owf', but in more diplomatic and rational terms. I am sure his 'School of thinkers' will no doubt be miffed at his family's showing of residual muslim character. kinda defeats their cause, but i wonder if they saw such irony at all.
heres to depolarising Bangladeshi society!
