then half the world's problem would be solved.

This post is for Nora Joe. (i didn't know you'd read my blog with all those news updates =p)

195 dead in Mumbai Terror including the Malaysian (she was found on the floor that was under fire. Takziah.) Lets forget mumbai for a while now. I did say politics are starting to play. Newest update, India's home minister quite after being under fire for the india terror. And possibly more will step down too. SO yeah. Not quite interested in bickering politicians. I am more for the actions. Besides, i want you to think about it "Will quitting change anything?"

Before that, Lina and i were talking about why these terrorist attacked the taj hotel, trident-oberoi when the could just attack other hotels like marriot hayatt or etc (nauzubillah) if they want to attack americans and brits. Their plan was to 'blow up the Taj hotel just like Islamabad's Marriot' but they underestimated the stone structure of this 100+ yr old hotel. My pov- hmm at the same time.. they probably want to 'blow up' mumbai's icon...hence 'blowing up' mumbai's pride. hmm

Moving over. The world is getting sick and sicker by the day.

One news headline in astro awani got me interested. "perintah berkurung 24 jam" catchy.

from BBC

"Violence flared up on Friday after the mostly Christian-backed governing party, the People's Democratic Party, was declared to have won the state elections in Plateau state, of which Jos is the capital city. ....The result was contested by the opposition All Nigeria People's Party, which is perceived in the state as a predominantly Muslim party."

read more here.

The two days of rioting resulted in over 300 have been injured and 381 have been killed (sources). Again. Blood spill due to religion and politics.

That reminds me of a short story by Paulo Coelho about the catholic and the muslim in his book- Like the flowing river

"it's a shame that people only see our differences that seperate them. If you were to look with more love, you would mainly see what we have in common. then half the world's problem would be solve."



Still. Even me. Even you. Why can't we realise that.
