United 93

It's saturday afternoon, and I just finished watching United 93, on my laptop of course. It was really a good movie, and I would not really mind to watch it again at the cinema.
Honestly, after watching this movie, and presuming that the movie gives the true account of what really happened on the sept 11[ coz there were conspiracy theories telling that the White House was actually behind these attacks], I am not at all surprised of the reaction from the West towards the Muslim world. Even I myself can't stop cursing those cruel terrorists through out the entire movie. Shame on them!! Exploiting Islam as to justify their terrorist action, and now we, the living Muslims who would have to bear the consequences. Urghh!!

I am not someone who's emotion can easily be influenced by just watching the movie, but this one was truly exceptional. If one wants to carry out Jihad, it can still be I am saying not only towards the Muslim terrorists, but it should applycarried out through other means, not by committing terrorist acts. Studying itself could count as one, if it is done with a proper intention. Even in Islam, it never teaches its followers to commit misdeed and to have appropriate demeanour. Seriously, I am no expert in this, but I still believe that terrorist acts could never be justified, when it is committed towards the civilian. If indeed it was USA fault in waging war against the Muslim world, it was the USA leader who should be condemned, not its people!! The same goes to the West, just because there are some culprits who misbehave amongst the Muslim, why should all Muslims be generalised as the same? and then we all have to endure Islamophobia?

I happened to have this opportunity of watching this one TV program when I was in Liverpool, it was called 30 days with Morgan Spurlock, where in this one particular show, a white Christian in the USA experienced living as a Muslim, with a Muslim family in Michigan. Through out the program, it was crystal clear that the white Christian first thought that Islam is a religion which condone terrorism, and when he experienced living as a Muslim, growing beard and etc, only then he learnt of how different were the public reactions towards him. Even the people who were interviewed in that program had the same view, where they simply jumped into conclusion that Islam is terrorist, Islam is Ben Laden and blabla. Sigh.

These people really need to stop being ignorance, only then they would learn and know what Islam is all about, and stop stereotyping all Muslims as the same. While at the same time, the Muslims should also stop being fundamentalist, stop being extreme, and learn how to tolerate amongst each other. Only then How I wish it could be simple as that.

Ouh, I really got carried away too far this time, so I'd rather stop before I start blabbering more on this. Anyway, one more thing which I find very intriguing about this movie was that how the people on the ground [the Air command centre, NORAD and etc] reacted to the whole situation. The movie depicted the US administration as having too much bureaucracy that they took such a sweet time before any decision could be reached.

Oklarrr, I shall not bore everyone with my crappy talking. In short, stereotyping is NOT good. a big NO NO. Just because one government in this one country decided to spend more than 200 Million in building a mosque while that huge amount of money could be channeled properly as to eradicate poverty and reduce the income gap amongst its citizen, it does not mean that all people in that country does not know how to spend wisely, aight?
