Brand New Year Same Old Story
approximately over a week ago, all Muslims entered the new year of 1430 Hijrah from our lunar calendar and in the next few days, all people in the world will celebrate the coming of 2010 AD year from our solar calendar... and perhaps this post will be my last post for the year 2009... from the solar calendar, we are about to enter the 11th year in the new millennium and what a decade it has been for all of us... the last ten years maybe one of the most turbulent decades we have seen... it started with the Y2K phenomenon which was not as destructive as it was predicted... then a year later, we were shocked by the utmost incident that much caused the huge change all over the world and redefined paranoia to the next level... the terrorist attack on the WTC New York in 2001... since then the world is not the same where Islam has been prejudiced and blamed and being accused as a religion that promotes violence... Muslims who live in Europe. America or any non-Muslim countries are threatened and treated with no respect... hate crime is on the rise and to me this is the new form of Holocaust only that it abuses the mental and psychology of the Muslim people and not genocide as what happened to the Jews during the Third Reich... then there was a tragedy that really touched the heart of all mankind, a tragedy so disastrous that it still leaves a huge scar until today for the victims and no one wants to remember it... the tsunami of 2004 that claimed 300, 000 lives and instantly in seconds destroyed the land of Acheh... a year later, the arrogant America came to Iraq and invade the country in the name of justice or whatever they presumed claiming that the Iraqis were developing nuclear weapons and they were a threat to the world peace and they came as the world police and dethroned Saddam Hussein but in the end they havent found any solid or concrete evidence that proves Iraq were developing such weapons... until now, the Iraq nation is still in unrest and chaos is everywhere and there are no signs of stability for the next few years for the Iraqis... the conflicts in the Holy Land in the Middle East is yet to find a solution and i expect that they wont find any in the near future... as for Malaysia, the past ten years, nothing much has changed only that the political situations are the one that get the most highlights these days and im kinda sick of Malaysian politics...
