The innocence of Muslim and Violence in Muslim; An opinion


The Movie


By now you might heard about a 'sensational' movies which everyone talked a lot in the internet and TV news. The movies is sensational not because it was artistic, deep or just simply awesome, its sensational for being shitty and provokes a lot of hate



no, not batman and robin even if it was shitty and provokes a lot of hate

The movie that i like to talked here is The Innocence of Muslim, an anti-Muslim movie that published in youtube not so long ago. The movies really makes every Muslim in the world burned in anger because the way it shows the prophet Muhammad, a man that every Muslim in the worlds hold dears in their heart, in such a disrespect manner.


First of all before i sprout all my hatred to this movie, let me tell you about Some facts around the movies.


The Innocence of Muslim is supposed to be a movie called Dessert Warrior, a story about "tribal battles prompted by the arrival of a comet on Earth." but then the movies dialogue is heavily dubbed and changed with an anti-Muslim dialogue by the producer. The actor and the crew who involved in the movie production said that they never knew that the movie dialogue will changes into such atrocious dialogue.


Our jackass of the month who responsible for this movie is a man called Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, a Coptic Christian immigrant from Egypt living in Cerritos, California, near Los Angeles who had a criminal records from manufacturing methamphetamine and doing some fraud.



 also a part time filmmaker and a full time anti-Muslim asshole


The premiere of the movies was held at the Vine Theater in California, advertised as The Innocence of Bin Laden with a poster written in Arabic which said something like Osama is innocent and America is the real terrorist (sort like that). It was sucks so only ten people watched it. Since the premiere was a fail, then Nakoula had  a bright idea to put the movies in youtube, dubbed it into arabic and there, he got what he wants. Rage and hate.

The Reaction

Every Muslim in the world enraged by this movie because it really insult their beloved prophet by showing Muhammad face (which is forbidden in Islam) and saying that he was a child molester. The movies cause a lot of Anti-America demonstration across the world as the US is the one accused for being the one behind everything despite that they actually had nothing to do with it.



yeah, America is the most cliche villain to date next to James Bond villain.

The violence in the demonstration caused The US ambassador in Libya murdered in response to the movie by Al-Qaeda member and some of the violence demonstration around the world caused major property damage and thousands of injured peoples between the police and the mass.


 ah, violence. Getting things done since...ever

The Opinion
 
If you haven't watched it yet, let me give a quick review for the movie in one word.
 
HORIBUFUCKUS


Don't bother to search that words..... 

I watched the 14 minute trailer version in youtube and all i can say is it is like watching porn but without sex in it. The movie didn't had any kind artistic element, the dialogue is horribly dubbed, the effect is like a porn movie at worst and so does the acting. Well, one of the actor is a porn actor so its kinda make sense.


 to its credit, at least there is no tentacle involved
 
As a non-religious man (check out my older blog entries about religion here), you might be wondering why i really hate this movie? Well, Even if i don't believe in religion like any other religious peoples, i do have a believe in human compassion and peace. I do believe that even with all the different we had in society, we could still live in harmony and peace and this kind of movies is an attack to what i believe. It just a tool to spread hatred both to Muslim and non-Muslim. Add it With some spotlight from the mass media you had a recipe for great religious conflict disaster.

I had to said that i am so disappointed with the Muslim around the world right now. The movie wanted the Muslim to be in rage so the world can see how violence they are and Sadly, the Muslim gives what the movie want. I guess we all heard about how violence and immature the Muslim in this world and the way they response to this movie didn't help to fix that image at all. It just making it worst.

When the non-Muslim peoples of the world say Muslim this is what mostly came into picture



Yes, its An angry bearded Arabic guys and a ninja woman, that is what most non-Muslim in the world think about Muslim.

I'm currently living in the largest Muslim country in the world. I know a lot about Islam and Its teaching so i could say that it is really shallow to say that Islam is the religion of the violence and barbarian. Yes, even though so, i do realize that some of the Muslim could be violence and barbarian and sadly that is what most people saw.

Even if I always told the people in the internet that Islam isn't all about violence and their teaching is really a good teaching, all my good deed won't help much if the Muslims themselves is still screaming about beheading someone when their religion is insulted.


No flower? aww....

But before you think that every Muslim is a mix between Genhis Khan and Adolf Hitler, There is still a lot of Muslim with a really good heart who just wanna do good things to peoples. For example, let me tell you a story that i found in this site

In the rise of terrorist attack in Egypt, being a Christian in Christmas Eve is pretty much like wearing a big neon sign on your back saying "Place your bomb here" because there is a big possibility that every Christian gathering will be targeted by the terrorist. So, when the Christian go out from their house with fear to do the Christmas Eve service, they found mob of Muslim peoples waiting for them.

The Muslim were there to send 1 clear message: "If the terrorist want to kill you, they will have to kill us too".

Yes friendo, the Muslim gave themselves to be a human shield to protect the Christian from the terrorist.

Now that's what i called harmony
 
This is actually a movement to protect the peace in Egypt again the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife. Among those shields were movie stars Adel Imam and Yousra, popular Muslim televangelist and preacher Amr Khaled, the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak, and thousands of citizens who have said they consider the attack one on Egypt as a whole.

I gotta be honest, this story really touch my heart (or whats left of it). It kinda restored the faith that i almost lost from the Muslim and humanity itself and i do really hoped that the Muslim can show this kind of good deed more often than their brutal side.

Peace and harmony for everyone.....

5 scary tourist spot that you have to visit to believe

Life could be sucks sometime. Just when everything seems to be so beautiful, some bad luck may happen and you died with a lot of regret because there's just some place that you should have visited before the angel of death took your soul and throw it to hell. Ok, maybe the hell part is only for me and some jerk who read this but the point is the world is full of strange place that you have to visit to believe. So, why don't we see some of the strangest creepy place you could visit in this world.

 5. Aokigahara, The Forest of Dead.



There is no place in the world that could surprise you better than Japan. With such a 'different' culture from us, they also had some 'different' places that we could go and visit there. By the way, how silly "Aokigahara, the forest of death" sounds? Did it sound like it came from Japanese cheesy horror movies or did it sound like the first level from a Playstation game you used to play when you are a kid? Despite how silly it sounds, Aokigahara forest got it names not because it just look scary but because its actually attract death, a lot of deaths.



not so silly now, eh?

Aokigahara is located at the northwest base of mount Fuji and it also known as the worlds second most popular place for suicide next to San Francisco Golden Gate. The forest had About 100 suicide/year with total of 500 death since 1950.

There's 2 origin story on why this place attract so much desperate peoples who wants to end their life. The first origin story came from a novel Nami no To (tower of waves) from 1960 where it ends with the two lover committing suicide together which makes sense because everybody wants to die in  romantic way, right? 


The others origin predate the novel and even more disturbing because it had something to do with an old custom called ubasute which meant, if you translate it literally, abandoning old woman and refers to the custom performed in Japan in the distant past, whereby an infirm or elderly relative was carried to a mountain, or some other remote, desolate place, and left there to die, either by dehydration, starvation, or exposure.

 
why don't you just send me to nursing home,son?

So yeah, Aokigahara used to be a place where some Japanese who thinks that they could have some expense cut in their family left the old family member to die by starvation in the middle of nowhere. Sure, as a ghost i'll be pissed off and hungry for some revenge if that happen to me.

Whichever story you believe (i prefer the ghost story, by the way), the Aokigahara Forest is still popular as tourist side and suicide spot eventhough nowaday the Japanese government never published the numbers of suicides happen per year in a hope to decrease the suicidal popularity and they even put some motivational heart lifting sign in the forest like "your life is precious" and "remember, your family is waiting for your return in your home".

 
or my personal favorite "try it. i dare you! i double dare you motherf*cker!"

4. Silent Hill, In Real life



Even if you are not a gamer, chances are you already heard about Silent Hill because it was one of the scariest video game ever made. In the game, Silent Hill used to be a nice little resort town for human until some cult blew it all up and turned it into the foggiest resort town for demon/monster/things that will haunt your dream. The games delivers a really disturbing feeling to the gamer with a psychological scare and it introduce us to our well known favorite lovable rapist in the internet, pyramid head.

 
we adore you P-head

The town itself is one of the defining factor that creep so many gamers with its atmosphere which create the feeling of loneliness and the feeling of claustrophobic in a wide place which is brilliant  for a horror video game but how could such a scary place could exist in reality you asked?

Reality provide you with with Centralia, Pennsylvania. Don't believe me? lets see the similarity

 
is it an abandoned town?
check
 
The thick fog that gives you the claustrophobic feeling?


check

The huge 'what the hell' crack on the street from the game?


check

A rapist with a huge knife and a triangular helmet for a face?
cheee...well, it wasn't officially found yet but i'm sure it was there. waiting...

A short history about Centralia, It was actually used as a coal mining town with over 1000 peoples lives on it but nowadays its only 15 peoples left on it. After an incident involving a mine fire burning within the borough which cause the massive, smoldering hellblaze that opened up sinkholes, steam pits and carbon monoxide vents all over the town then the local government orders everyone to evacuate from the town. Even until now, the fire from Centralia mine is still burning...for 50 years that is.

Centralia itself is actually a references for the Silent hill movie so the similarity is not a coincidental. The director of the movie really visited this town and created the town in the movie based on this city. One similarity that you could see is the Centralia church is actually looked alike as they showed in the Silent Hill movie.

 

So If you want to see the real Silent Hill you could always visit Centralia but do bear in mind, i will just waiting in the car.
 
don't forget to send my regards to P-head

3. The Penis Museum


Penis.

Also known as dick, johnson, cock, love rod, manhood and many more. A penis is a well known body part of a male homo sapiens body that spawn many sexual themed comedy, deviant behaviour and life disaster. Its also one things you need to mate with female homo sapiens and make baby.

Yes gentleman, its our lovely genitalia we're talking here. I know some of you is really proud with this specific body part that you think it should be put in the museum after you died for what it achieved. If you does happen to think so, you could always travel to Husavik, Iceland to visit the Icelandic Phallological Museum to see 280 penis specimens from 93 species of animals includes 55 penises taken from whales, 36 from seals and 118 from land mammals. They always need some extra human specimen so you can always be a good man who donors his penis for science and be proud for it.

 
just don't get too proud about your size here.

Sadly (or happily depends on how you see human penis), there is not much of a human penis in this museum. there's only a handful of human penis specimen like the penis of the Iceland national handball team that donated fifteen casts of their penises, now displayed in a museum cabinet as a donation. Because the team had won the silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the casts were made from a silvered material. They are not displayed in the same order as the individuals shown in the picture that accompanies them but, as the owner of the museum said, "their wives would recognise them."

 
honey, i think the smallest one is yours, isn't it?

The museum exhibit isn't restricted to only show penises inside showcases or hang its in the walls. It also shows how penis can be used in our daily life.


for example this lamp is made from testicel.

 
 balls on!

 and if you think normal phone is too mainstream, try this phone


 hello, may i talk with Dick?

The museum is founded by an retired historian named SigurĂ°ur Hjartarson (the man above), who had a healthy obsession with penis since his father gave him a bull penis (or a pizzle) for a cattle whip. After he told the story that he used a penis to whip his cattle, his friends give him more penis to collect and it became his hobby until he thinks it times to open a cock themed haunted house then named it the Icelandic Phallological Museum to terorrize every male homo sapiens. 


This place isn't actually scary because it was abandoned, ghost or death related tragedy like any other scary place we knew but Still, it was scary because it had to do with all those hundreds penises scattered around the museum. Call me insecure but, as a man, when i saw all those penis scattered around, i feel really unease and i keep holding my crotch in fear, for some reason.

 

 2. The Hell Themed Park in Singapore and Thailand




Is there any kids who doesn't like to go to the themed park? i think We all had those Sunday morning where we jumped into our parents bedroom and yells "mommy, daddy lets go to the themed park!" over and over until they woke up with pissed off mood and wished that you were never born. In some cases, when the parents in Singapore and Thailand is so pissed with their child, they will take their child to a themed park that will teach their innocent children a harsh truth about reality. Life is a hell.

mommy, did you bring me here because i am adopted?

That picture where an adorable doll being dismembered by demon, a scene that looked like it came from SAW movie and someone drowning in the filthy blood pond (because clean blood is too nice) is one of the Tiger Balm Garden main attraction called Ten court of hell. Tiger Balm Garden itself is actually an ancient Chinese mythological themed park in Singapore founded by Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par as a venue for teaching traditional Chinese values. 


since this is a Chinese Mythological themed park you might be wondering about the other attraction that didn't consist hellish image which could scare a child psychology for his/her entire life. Sure, there is some family friendly and harmless attraction like the crab woman and a woman who breast feeding her father-in-law.

 
eh?
Errm...ok. For someone who understand the Chinese folklore this might look just fine but for someone who are not well educated with Chinese folklore like me this is quite.....confusing at best, disturbing at worst.

But wait, what about the hell themed park in Thailand? can it top the Singapore version?

this is a good start
 
So for a quick info first, The other hell themed park is called the hell garden which located in Wang Saen Suk Monastery Bangkok. This themed park is created by the monks who wants to teach the sinner about what is waiting in the afterlife for them. Since we all know how every sinful person is a stubborn and ignorant human, they have to make sure that the message is clear and reachable so the sinner will know the consequent of their sin. 

Now, how did they do it? by creating a statue of naked bloody tortured man and women then make it as a tourist spot.

 
because being a tourist is a sin, i guess

There is a lot of torture that you and your family could see in this themed like dogs biting some guys giant nuts.

Being gifted with a skull as the head of your penis only to have some demon immediately slice it in half with a hatchet. 



And you shouldn't forget to leave some donation to the monastery in a demon dog shaped donation box before leaving the park.


100 US dollar will do, sir.

1. The Island of the Dolls


The island of the dolls sounds like the best place you could go with your daughter because we all know every little girls loves dolls. Can you imagine the gleeful expression in her face when you told her that you were going to take her to an island full of cute dolls and how happy she is when you get back to your home after she saw this? 

she would probably call the social service office

Yes, its an Island with thousands of decaying doll hanging around in the tree and if that didn't scare you (seriously?), then maybe you may want to hear the origin story of why this island became one of the scariest places in the earth.

The island of the dolls is located in the middle of the swamp of Mexico. To get there, you need to hire a guide an take a boat through the canal of Xochimilco while hoping that the guide will never leave you in that island alone.



Isla de las Munecas, as it was called in the Mexico, isn't always used to be a creepy island. It was used to be a normal island just like any other island around it until the caretaker of the island, a hermit named Don Julian Santana, found a doll floating in the canal where a little girl drowned. Don  then takes the doll and hang it in the tree because he said it will appease the spirit of the dead girls. 

But it didn't stop there with only one doll. Don said that he always heard a voice coming from the water where the girls drowned, inviting him to come back home and he even said that the dolls is possessed. So Don did what every human will do, hang more dolls in the three and make a shrine full of dolls to keep the evil girls spirit at bay.

sounds logical enough.

Sadly, even all of it isn't enough because at 2001 Don Nephew found him dead, drowned in the same canal where the little girl drowned either it was an accident or he was murdered Chucky style.

i believe in Chucky

It is now a dark tourist spot in Mexico for someone who likes to have some sleeping trouble for a months. If you are planning to go there you had to bring an offering of a doll and hard candy in the shrine because if you don't...

you know whats gonna happen.
