Ijtima Bashing indicates Intolerance toward Cultural Relativism

Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012, for allegedly promoting girls education has just signed a book deal reportedly worth $3 million. Her Nobel peace prize popularity, including conspiracy theories leads to ripple effect discourse about the archetypal creation and manipulation of everything related to ‘saving Muslim women.’ An offshoot of this discussion would also attend why Muslim women increasingly feel the need to be saved. If not saved, then being armed sentry at such insultingly homogenous and staged fights.

Malala’s activism began when she was approached to write a blog for the BBC Urdu service under a pseudonym about life in the (‘oppressive’) Swat Valley in 2009. It is unknown whether it was Malala’s own narrative or the reporter eliciting and later manicuring something to pass for a child’s narrative. Further, that her father was willing to risk her safety to fund his school have raised the eyebrows of many. Yet others have questioned the timing of the attack. It is rather opportunistic that it occurred as Imran Khan toured with internationally acclaimed journalists and human rights activists to protest against American drones that attack 1000+ Malala’s monthly. This gave Pakistani’s and the world the impression that drones are still needed against the Taliban who are ‘ruthless’ against women and innocent children. The Americans would thus placidly bully the Pakistani army against the Taliban in Waziristan. read more

THE STORY

THE MOTHER
--------------
For those who are lucky to still be blessed with your Mum, this is beautiful. For those who aren't, this is even more beautiful.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life. "Is this the long way?" She asked. And the guide said: "Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning." But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children, and gathered flowers for them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and the sun shone on them and the young mother cried. "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this."

Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said, "Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come."

And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children," A little patience and we are there." So the children climbed, and when they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you." And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and said, "This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage. Today, I have given them strength."

And the next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped and stumbled, and the mother said: "Look up. Lift your eyes to the light." And the children looked and saw above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the darkness. And that night the mother said, "This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children Allah." And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill, and beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide.
And mother said: "I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and their children after them." And the children said, "You will always walk with us, mother, even when you have gone through the gates." And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates closed after her. And they said: "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence."

Your mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow, with every step you take. She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you. NOT TIME, NOT SPACE... NOT EVEN DEATH!

PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MOTHERS AND CHILDREN YOU KNOW. MAY WE NEVER TAKE OUR MOTHERS FOR GRANTED.

WEBLINKS
THE SMILE
WELL! I DID NOT SEE
--------------------
Two vampire bats wake up in the middle of the night, thirsty for blood. One says, "Let's fly out of the cave and get some blood."

"We're new here," says the second one. "It's dark out, and we don't know where to look. We'd better wait until the other bats go with us."

The first bat replies, "Who needs them? I can find some blood somewhere." He flies out of the cave.

When he returns, he is covered with blood.

The second bat says excitedly, "How did that happen to you?"

The first bat takes his buddy to the mouth of the cave. Pointing into the night, he asks, "See that building over there?"

"Yes," the other bat answers.

"Well," says the first bat, "I didn't."
