Swastika On Hindu Temple

In the news, a group of vandals painted racist graffiti on the wall of a Hindu temple in Bothell,Washington State, U.S.A. It seems that the stupid racists did not understand the difference between Hinduism and Islam, as the graffiti included not only a Swastika, but also the words of  'Muslims' and 'Get out'. As Cenk of TYT in Youtube suggested, they were idiot racists who hated brown people.  
 
The Swastika is offensive to people, more particularly to the Jewish people, because of the Holocaust, and that the Nazi had stolen this old peaceful symbol and turned it into something bad in modern time. On the contrary, the Swastika is not a symbol of evil. It has always been used as a peaceful symbol with much good will and positive meanings for thousands of years. You can find the Swastika used in many religions and cultures, including Buddhism, Hinduism, Raelism, Aboriginals and Native Americans, even in old Jewish temple. Just do some searching in Google and Youtube, to learn more about the Swastika.

It is an irony, even stupidity, to write a Swastika on the wall of a Hindu Temple and tell the temple goers to get lost, when it rather means 'good wishes to you'. Racism is ignorance. It grows out of fear, not love. Writing a Swastika on a Hindu Temple is like drawing a Cross on a Christian Church. Stupid racists !!!

Unity Rally In Paris

Je suis Charlie. Où est Obama?

Unity ? The world leaders were not even with the crowds. They only had a Photo Op holding hands at a separate location. A good number of these world leaders showed support to freedom of speech in France, while banning or censoring free speech in their own countries, even harassing journalists and putting them to jail.

This is my guess why Obama did not attend this so-called Unity March: 

The world of Islam is huge. There are billions of Muslims just as there are billions of Christians in this world. The Muslim World is not only one small country like North Korea that Obama could easily pick on. Obama himself has a Muslim family background and spent some childhood years living in Indonesia, the country with a very large Muslim population. Some people even believe that Obama is a closet Muslim, although he claims that he is a Christian. 

The point I want to make is this: Obama understands that one may not create an image or picture of Mohammed, the Muslims' prophet. While freedom of speech is a fundamental right available in most countries in the West, creating an image or picture of prophet Mohammed is an unforgivable blasphemy to the Muslims. Obama is not a stupid man. I believe he decided not to attend the rally. Had he gone to attend the freedom of speech rally in Paris, that would have offended the Muslim world, and be seen taking side with France and the West against Islam and  the Muslims in the world. Instead, he just sent his spokesperson to issue sort of an apology or excuse afterwards. Well, it is only my guess. 

All said, it is my opinion that all violence, killing, war and terrorism are wrong. Love and Peace are always right. Unfortunately, in the name of God, Religion, Democracy, Nationalism, or Whatever, some people would justify the use of violence, killing, war and terrorism. And then some others who are against terrorism are ironically terrorists themselves. Oh, so much hypocrisy, so much failure ! Yes, we still live in a messy and 'uncivilized' world ! What do you think ? 

Burn the Koran

Pastor Terry Jones of Florida is chickened out. He will not burn the Koran, not ever, he says. Prime Minister of Canada Harper says " My Christ is a tolerant God ". USA President Obama is an eloquent man. He says one nation, one people, under one God.

Jones is really stupid. How can a person like this be a Christian pastor ? This is the time to hire Donald Trump to tell Jones " Terry, you are fired ! " Jones needs to have his head checked. His daughter is concerned about his mental health.

Harper is sincere, but tolerance is not good enough. Jesus teaches people about love, not just tolerance. His standard of love is very high. Love includes the love of our neighbors and enemies. We should not only tolerate people of other religions and beliefs. We should love them all.

Obama is the smartest, but he leaves out the atheists. One people, one nation is fine, but under one God is not fine, because that one people and one nation, USA, includes American atheists, who do not believe in God.

Dear friends, this is our world today. Are you laughing or crying ???

Love and Peace to all !
