Sambal is Not Supposed to be Sweet

We had this so-called 'group creative sessions' in class today. Each of us has to write a sequence of a story. When it was my turn I wrote about a beheaded dog and splattering blood, and a man laughing as loud as a devil.

Then we had some grammar exercises, and the example I gave consisted of a man whose wives were killed mysteriously.

What worries me is the perception of others.

Quoting a guy from this page:

I hope every muslim in the world takes notice: This is what everybody thinks of you: That you demand respect down the barrel of a gun, that you are animals, that it is easier to exclude you than to reason with you.

It's time that the fanatics who shout "Allahu Akbar" before evangelizing themselves to pieces in a market full of women and children, learn that there is a force out there that's stronger than they, that also has unalterable values, and that can also be offended.

The fact that so many responses here say-"I don't blame the director" is horrible. Continuously treating Islam as a special case means that it will NEVER be on an equal footing in the west. It used to be that we were all encouraged to respect people. Now we are being told to respect IDEAS; That some ideas should be immune from criticism. (As if a made-up disaster amounts to a scathing indictment of Islam.)

Were I Muslim I would take note. Is this really how you want to be treated?

Every little bit counts
