Intelligent Design

The earth is blessed with an atmosphere to accommodate life and nurture the natural habitation of intelligent life. Why do scientists still go to extremes and strive to uphold the failed and utterly stupid Darwin's theory of evolution?

The best proof for pro-God in this controversy is the recent phenomenon that was observed on the surface of the moon. It was reported by NASA a blast, equal in energy to about 70 kg of TNT, occurred near the edge of the moon, an area named as Mare Imbrium (the sea of rains) on November 7, 2005, when a 12-centimetre-wide meteoroid slammed into the ground travelling at 27 km/s.

Needless to say that 'We' on Earth, are protected against zillion objects in the space with our atmosphere and magnetosphere. Media reports from NASA points to a massive blast in moon that is avoided in case of earth on a regular basis based on the existence of the terrestrial atmosphere.

The moon was peppered, too, but unlike the earth, it has no atmosphere to intercept meteoroids and turn them into harmless streaks of light. On the moon, meteoroids hit the ground - and explode.

Cooke estimates that the impact gouged a crater in the moon's surface "about 3 metres wide and 0.4 metres deep." As moon craters go, that's small. "Even the Hubble space telescope couldn''t see it," notes Cooke. The moon is 384,400 km away. At that distance, the smallest things Hubble can distinguish are about 60 metres wide.

And for those who deny Quran as the word of God, should read the following verses. Which man in the seventh century had the scientific data to even imagine this??

O mankind! worship your Lord, Who hath created you and those before you, so that ye may ward off (evil). Who hath appointed the earth a resting-place for you, and the sky a canopy; and causeth water to pour down from the sky, thereby producing fruits as food for you. And do not set up rivals to Allah when ye know (better). - Al-Baqarah 2:21-22


Allah it is Who appointed for you the earth for a dwelling-place and the sky for a canopy, and fashioned you and perfected your shapes, and hath provided you with good things. Such is Allah, your Lord. Then blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds! - Al-Mu'min 40:64.19


Once the most potent weapon in the hands of evolutionists/atheists to deny the existance of God, has now become an intrument out to annihilate all those who doubted it's existance.

There is no other fact but that...the existance of the very Earth we inherit amd universe we live in is a glimpse of MOST INTELLIGENT DESIGN man has ever seen or can comprehend.

An open letter to Osama Bin Laden

An Open Letter To Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri (Whoever and Wherever You Are)

Excerpted originally from An Open Letter!

Aslam-o-Alaikum!

Do you know what degree of shame, abomination, misery and wretchedness is being heaped on the innocent and peace-following Muslims all over the world because of this so-called and self styled Jihad of yours?

Do you know how many innocent, unsullied people are being daily butchered as result of this professed Jihad of yours? How many children are being orphaned and women being widowed precisely for the same reason.

And do you know, killing one faultless human being is like killing the entire humanity. You must definitely be knowing that you will surely be held accountable for this all bloodshed. Will you, then, be able to face your God? I challenge, no!

Then, why have you become an agent of some hidden hand. Why are you taking the responsibility of the murder of entire humanity to yourself on his behest. Why are you dragging the Muslims down? Why are you demeaning Islam by presenting it as a terrorist religion? Acting like this, which religion are you rendering a great service to? Are you raising the standard of Islam high or you (if you reflect on it) are causing the heads of the followers of the path of the righteous bow down with shame in-front of the entire humanity.

Today most of the Muslims believe that you are not a true Muslim but planted by the enemies to destroy the image of Islam.

For God’s sake, take recourse to sense, and announce a CEASEFIRE at once so the inhabitants of world may be introduced to that divine aspect of the Muslims at whose hands no soul suffer, whose words and actions bear no tinge of dichotomy, whose speech, when uttered, conveys to others the message of love and protection, whose thoughts, when thought, are devoted to the well being of others. Herein lies the true success, and herein lies the victory of the true religion of Allah.

Copies being sent to Muslim Brothers and Sisters for information and with a request to pray for an earliest end of the war.

Of bribery and 12/13

Parliamentarians were supposed to meet in the afternoon of December 13 to honour those who died saving them five years ago. Instead, they woke up to the stupid acts of Eleven amongst them, caught on camera, accepting bribes for agreeing to do something they were in any case elected to do — raise issues in Parliament. It is ironic that the exposé took place on December 13. I mean..they must be wondering, who elects these bozos who don't even know the basics of taking bribes.

Anyways..when was the last government that tried to measure up itself on the integrity scale? All hopes of change with manmohan at the helm have dashed too. He was considered as 'someone who was in the politics but not of the politics'. But can a lone man change the system these days?

According to recent figures quoted in HT sometime ago, 99 per cent of the people perceive the police to be corrupt, 98 per cent think similarly about political parties and 97 per cent feel likewise about the judiciary. All three need a massive image makeover. This is an unfortunate commentary about the two main arms of governance that give security and justice to the average man and woman.

Moreover, the pattern in India today is to let a local thug evolve into a national don or let a problem fester and when ultimately forced to take notice, then grant some concessions — allocate funds or carve out a new district, a new state, or more reservations but skirt the main issue. These dons fight elections and give themselves a legal acceptance for existance. This only encourages regional and sectional truculence of various hues. Populist promises and actions ‘ghettoise’ us into Marathis, Brahmins, Rajputs, Jats, Kurmis, Yadavs, OBCs, Dalits, Hindus, Muslims, Bengalis, Assamese, Tamilians, Punjabis or whatever.

But isn't a 'hindustani' lost in all this?

When you hafta rule a plural society democratically..

Even a hard-boiled Indian like me, used to cyclical bouts of Hindu-Muslim rioting, was shocked at the entrenched hatred between the two communities in Northern Ireland. The last population survey put the number of Protestants at 54 per cent and Catholics at 42 per cent. The Catholics tend to be visibly poorer and disaffected. But some Protestants feel under siege as the Catholic birth rate is higher and it’s only a matter of time before they outnumber the Protestants. Sounds so familiar to us Indians. Remember... soon 15% Muslim population of India will outnumber 75% Hindus??

Just before visiting Northern Ireland I had attended a brilliant lecture in Oxford—‘Partition: comparative lessons from Ireland, India and Palestine’. The fundamental argument was that Northern Ireland was the laboratory where the British empire-builders perfected their policy of divide and rule. All three countries were hastily partitioned and left with imperfect arrangements that would cast long shadows and sow the seeds for the most intractable problems of the modern age. I saw several other parallels between India and Northern Ireland. The deliberate instigation of violence to polarise communities before elections is an old Indian political trick. The Orangemen’s insistence on taking their parades through Catholic strongholds is eerily similar to chest-thumping Hindu religious processionists triggering a riot while passing through Muslim neighbourhoods and from the provocatively through vacinity of mosques and Lo and Behold!! A muslim always throws a stone on the procession and all hell breaks loose with Muslims businesses and houses targeted almost like clockwork and pre-marked precision.

And after what has happened in Ahmedabad, is it a bizarre flight of fancy to imagine what would emerge if poster painters and other such artists were given a free rein in that city? Standing in the Shankhill-Falls area, I saw Ahmedabad in my mind’s eye. Saffron-hued paintings in middle-class neighbourhoods depicted trishul-bearing youth threatening Muslims with death and eternal punishment. In the Muslim heart of the old city, the graffito depicted rape, murder and pillage at the hands of the state.
