zionists laknatullah.

lately, i come across a couple of foundation sites which initiating campaign against al-quds day. they claim that Remembrance of Al-Quds day is part of the ideology of political Islam which has become a vehicle to spread Antisemitism in the every day Muslim culture. ugh, like, hello? this is totally not Antisemitism oraity? i remember Dr Azzam Tamimi in his speech during the KBAZ sed, "I am semitic more than any other Jews would be". oh yea, i first came to understand abt the term antisemitism from him though. plus, to start a project and to invite others in organizing Remembrance (or shall i say awareness?) of Al-Quds day were also inspired by him. (refer to entry: hast thou done thy bit?)

ihzimhum wansurna 'alaihim

This fool throws wet stones at me, insists on attempts to break my nerve
But I hate to respond to the anger and feed the fuel in those ugly words
They ask me why I say nothing at all, like I don't have any self-respect
I say "Gentleman, I'm like incense. The more you burn me, the more I'm fragrant"
And I don't feel the need to act violently, and I don't feel desire to fan the fire
You can say what you want about me, but I lace the lines of these times
With generous peace
I know it's hard to listen to the words you just can't stand
It's gonna take more than a fist to enlighten an ignorant man
And don't you see how we fear the patient eyes of a lion?
And don't you see how we fear those lions in their silence?
Kareem Salama - Generous Peace
