Qistina Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I think it is now the time where Europe must changed...for a very long time eastern peoples have adapting and resisting westernization, now it is Eurpe turn to accept and resist easternization...it is just normal, it is a cycle of history, or some may call it "karma"... You guys western know how hard for us in the east to maintain our culture and traditions from all western attacks? It is a struggle...like me for example, i was westernized but i don't want to loose my identity, i hold up what i know about being a Malay people and a Muslim...it is an internal struggle, endless struggle, i must keep balance of all influence i got... So now i think it is western turn to feel what eastern people feel all these time....maybe in 5 years we can see western women with hijab and western men with turban and beard walking on the streets of Europe...

When you make posts like this I think you are trolling because this has been discussed at length The West allows Muslims to practice freedom of religion and be Muslim . Why would you battle to maintain to be Malay or Muslim, do you mean living in Malaysia ? The West won't force women to wear a hijab ...we have no codes around dress and that will stay like that unless Western governments lose elections to conservative ones "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Meshugger Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 And BBC calls them Islamophobic In Muslim-majority countries, they are often being lashed and imprisoned for blogging, hacked to death in open daylight, or sentenced to death for writing poetry. Here in the West, they are often being disowned from their families, ostracized from their communities, and even murdered by their own families in "honor killings." There are thirteen countries, all Muslim-majority, where atheism is punishable by death. And Saudi Arabia has declared that all atheists are terrorists. Maryam Namazie's Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain started the #ExMuslimBecause campaign last week, encouraging dissidents from across the Muslim world to come out and say why they left Islam. The response was tremendous. By early Friday morning, #ExMuslimBecause was the U.K.'s top trending hashtag. We heard from secret LGBT Saudis; women who had been forced into marriages; closeted atheists in Egypt and Pakistan tweeting under pseudonyms; young women disowned by their families in the U.S.; and more. Being part of Muslim families and communities, ex-Muslims not only receive the same bigoted treatment as other Muslims, but are also persecuted (often severely) by Muslims who consider them heretics and apostates. Ex-Muslims often find themselves caught between the anti-Muslim bigotry of the far right that demonizes all Muslims, and the apologism of the far left that conflates any legitimate criticism of Islam with "bigotry" or "Islamophobia". Many ex-Muslims feel betrayed by their liberal counterparts in the West. The fight against Islamic jihad should come from a position of moral strength, not xenophobic bigotry. This is a fight that liberals should take on themselves before it's hijacked by the far right. Some of the tweets are: >#ExMuslimBecause I was told I was a Muslim. But then I learned that religion is not a gene and being born to believers doesn't make you one. >#ExMuslimBecause No REAL God should need protection from bloggers & no REAL prophet should need protection from cartoons. >#ExMuslimBecause my being unveiled is NOT the cause of earthquakes or other calamities Many of those brave enough to speak out about Islamic apostasy taboos via the hashtag risked threats, intimidation and even violence. Yet the BBC chose to defend Islamists and attack the hashtag as “hateful”, “Islamophobic” and “bad timing” due to the Paris attacks. The BBC’s program featured presenter Anne-Marie Tomchak talking with two male Muslim “community experts”, almost exclusively about how the hashtag was “problematic” and “hateful”. The words “Ex-Muslim” were put in quotation marks, as if to suggest ex-Muslims did not really exist, and there was little discussion about the bravery of the participants and the positive message behind the campaign. “Community expert” Mobeen Azhar appeared to think that the real victims of the Paris attacks were in fact Muslims. The presenter also asked Mr. Namazie: “Can you speak is one thing. When you speak is another. And if you look at the recent new events—say for example what happened in Paris, lets look at the refugee crisis around Europe—did it occur to you that this is possibly not the time to put out a hashtag like this?” Maryam responded by explaining that killings and persecutions have been going on in the Muslim world for centuries, and to view this whole debate through the prism of the recent Paris attack is wrong. “People are saying #ExMuslimBecause is “hateful”. How can telling people why you left a religion be “hate”? By what bizarrely twisted logic?”, tweeted Richard Dawkins. To see Islam as the victim in the Allahu-Akbaring of 130 mostly non-Muslim Parisians is vile”, tweeted Canadian ex-Muslim Ali A. Rizvi at the BBC journalist. https://archive.is/NLyAd https://archive.is/YP2A0 "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah you were 'conquered' by power which was more evolved, and that power left 60! years ago and you still whine? If you would like return to your origins you can throw that PC you are writing on out of the window and go on rice field, no-one is restricting this to you, that is that bad 'western' value UK left here - freedom. But immigrants to EU are quite opposite, using our good will to destroy something they are unable to achieve themself from jealousy? Or 60 years old grudge? That way czechs would be still killing germans and russians would be throwing A-Bombs on USA now... I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read.

I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

This is the new identity of my people...we have no identity anymore...we have lost it, the west took away everything...our wealth, our land, our identity...we become a people with no face....we only assume our face look like what we are now...look at this below...my people are not like this before westernization...the west changed us into this....into your clone...

Qistina Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) When i say "my people" this Malays, i don't mean Malaya or Malaysia, i mean the whole original SEA people....we called ourselves "Nusantara"...you know what is Nusantara? That is what you called "South East Asia". We are one people no longer...for 600 years the west divide and conquer us...like what you did to American natives.... This is Nusantara...

BruceVC Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Your face is same if you wear burka or cylinder. What you cant take is that its not 'west' what influence you, but progress. Do you think that Poles wear same cloths 100 years ago as now? Everyone 'lost' something but you cant blame 'west', whatever you think it is, geezChillloutman what she is saying is complicated but also true ....but its hard to understand if you didn't live in country that practiced Colonialism like me I know what she means I live in country that was 40 years under communist regime of different state, we get out in 1990 from it, I think I know what I am talking about No its not the same I'll try to explain because I can see how you may think it is Colonialism stripped people of any identity or feeling of purpose. It was also implemented initially against nations that were living very simple but happy lives Communism was forced on you and it was terrible but it was suppose to be about equality ... it was not a reality where you were treated as not even human "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were part of HRE, then Austria-Hungaria, then SSSR - choose what you like. Well I can do it for you: Ohh those evil Islamists. We were part of our beutifull HRE and then Ottomans come and break it and now I am no longer HRE, bee, I want to be citizen on HRE again, evil Ottomans bee I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.
