Male Abuse..!


Most people recall women whenever the issue of domestic violence is open.. Yet, it was surveyed that 40% of the reported victims are men..
We have a moral issue here..!!

Despite how the common legacies of Mankind are dominated by masculinity rather than equality; the ruling cultures and folklores had always hidden the cases of Male-Abuse.. Simply, this phenomenon does not fit with all inspiring images of Cavilers, Savors and Heroes..
Since the publically accepted Feminism concepts, the public gradually became ready to digest the changing morals and codes..


Generally, Male-Abuse is an urban phenomenon, with rare cases in rural or nomadic regions, despite the fact that women is such terrains are more "masculinized" by nature of participatory and culture of hardship.. Yet, and across the world, only few cases are there marking the male abuse.. The famous one is that Indian group of women, armed with wooden sticks, who would travel to villages to "punish" the men who are abusing their women.. Apparently, it is a unique Indian legacy..

Polygamy vs. Polygany



Despite how the terms are controversial and debatable among all humans; my exploration for the reactions had taken me to many web groups.. There, I had read for both enthusiastic and opponents; whereas each had exercised all intellectual tools to advocate for their views.. An example is the Facebook group: Islamic Polygany (Ameican Muslim) https://www.facebook.com/groups/IslamicpolygynyMuslimAmerican/

Basically, the misconceptions between polygamy and Polygany are considerably great.. This would describe the greatness of both epistemic divide and intellectual spiral as well.. It was notable that the general public can't absorb the different terminologies, and accept what the media had accustomed for; which would shake the religious content and faith.. Thought-Leaders are generally short to understand and adequately comprehend or react..

There is a great deficiency in understanding the Polygany concept, code and regularities.. With no need to walk through Shariah details, attempts to insert the practice within the legal code is likely a failure.. Therefore, enthusiastic would counter any critique by plain Quran verses or Hadeeth, with almost no understanding of the given words..
Kindly refer to my earlier post on legitimacies of Polygany

Putin on Minority Rights

 
On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:

 "In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live  in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need  minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians."

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation.

I'm Black, I don't Bite..!

LONDON

A diner owner has triggered soul-searching about racism in Britain after putting up a sign informing customers she is black and doesn’t "bite."

Martha-Renee Kolleh, 46, said she was so fed up with people walking out of her restaurant when they spotted the color of her skin that she put up the notice in the establishment's door last week.
“I am a black woman and always will be,” it reads. “If you are allergic to black people don’t come in. But if you prefer quality wholesome meals come in. I don’t bite!”

The mother of three said as one family of potential patrons turned around to leave her Yeanon Café in Wakefield, Yorkshire, she heard them say: “I think we’re in the wrong place.”

“I thought I’ll just put this there and then they don’t have to look at me and go, ‘oh no, this is a black woman,’” she said. “My children and I were joking about it.”



Kolleh, who moved to Britain 11 years ago to escape the war-torn west African republic of Liberia, admitted she was trying to make a serious point about racism in the small town in northern England.
“My frustration built up over a long amount of time,” she said. “It upsets me. I don’t want to move. I just want them to accept me for who I am and give me a try. I mean if they say the food is not good enough, fair enough, but I think that a lot of the time they are leaving because of racial prejudice.”

She tested her theory by employing a white member of staff to serve customers, while she waited out of sight.
“She did really well,” Kolleh said. “One Saturday when she was serving we made almost £100 ($150), but then the next week when I was on my own I only about £20 ($30)."
She added: “I can’t be running a business like this. My family try and make our customers welcome but none of them deserve this kind of behavior towards us.  I can’t see any other reason for people deciding they don’t want to eat here. I’m a businesswoman, I pay my taxes. I need local support.”

Kolleh's member of parliament said she was “shocked and dismayed” to hear of her experiences.
“There is absolutely no place for any form of racism in Wakefield,” lawmaker Mary Creagh said. “I am sure the local community will rally round to support her and her business.”



Kolleh's sign was front-page news Thursday in the UK's Metro newspaper's with a headline reading "I don't bite! Sign in a cafe that tells a sad story about racism."

The Independent's coverage was headlined "England 2013: Cafe owner puts up notice for customers who may not like her race" while the Daily Mail opted for "I'm black, get used to it!"
Hundreds of people offered support on the cafe's Facebook page, according to the Independent. One local customer said that she would spread the word about the “wonderful food” served there.
“Was so saddened to find out about your troubles and the need for the notice you’ve put on your door,” she wrote.

In the wake of the response, Kolleh said Thursday that she plans to take down the sign from the door and store it inside her diner, which serves English and Afro-Caribbean food.
“I think I’ve made my point,” she said. “I don’t want it taken out of context, but I hope people get the message.”

Same Sex Marriage..

Celebrated as The Best Marriage Equality Sign..!
 
Same Sex Marriage..
Blindness of Hearts..
Darkness of Minds..
End of Times..!
 
It only took the "Globalization & Privatization" 20 years to flood the world..
How swift this new illusion will take..?
Thankfully, I don't have kids to watch the “Epidemic” snaking in my own household..


Be Careful Parents..
Watch out the “Violet”..
Search for the “Arch”..!!
 

"Sin” became a controversial term since early 1900th.. This had produced Radicalism, Extremism, Anarchy, Scientology and later LGBT..
When “mind” goes uncontrolled without referrals; claiming freedom to think, innovate and express; we simply prove principle dumbness as freaking species with intelligence..
 
Only “enlightened” minds can find the path..!
Yet: What is the Path..? and leading to Where/What..?
 
As per the Sudanese proverb: “Learning Not often eliminates Dumbness..”
 
It seems our “brains” are sinful by default.. Therefore, thousands of Prophets and Messengers of Allah were needed to restore sanity and brightness.. with no much gains..!!
