hah! i remember what to write jor!!!

alright. now i remember what to write. this is the 'forgotten' topic that i mentioned in my previous blog. in the end, i forgotten the topic but i was actually with me all the time. in fact, just beside me. without further ado, let us begin.


Remember April Fool's Day? well i would dare to say, 98% of us would says its a prank day where we can fool our friends or family or people we know around us, without worrying they will get upset cause its fool day!
most likely, another normal prank day like halloween etc etc.

here is the true fact about april fool's day.

http://irwan007.wordpress.com/2007/04/01/april-fool-rai-kejatuhan-islam/

i know you lazy to read it. conclusion i shall write. well i am interested in this story cause, i was included in that 98% people that did not know the true behind 'april fool's day' . it happens i bought a Mastika magazine. a malay magazine that published since 70 years ago without failed. to the malay community, this name is not strange to them. i used to buy this magazine every months last time when i was still small. then stop for long time. then i just buy it occasionally just for the sake of reading as i love reading especially i did not have anything to do now. just like now. no intern no exam no nothing. back to topic.

back in the age, i mean long way back in the 8th century AD. the date, April 1st is when something terrible happened to Islam. accordingly to the link above, and also according to Mastika, this date is where the time observed the fall of Islam in Granada, Spain attacked by the Christians. well, during this time, the Christians, or the Jews i suppose, are highly dangerous and violent. they wanted to vanish all the Islam people from the earth at one shot. they did all they could, include all the killing and cruelty. until one day they came across this place call Granada in Spain, the last state that contained Islam people that still alive. the Islam people stay indoor and avoid going out so that they wont get kill. what there Jews did is they lie to them by saying there is a big ship coming over to fetch them, save them. so these Islam people came out and proceed to the harbor.

next, the Jews burn down all the houses, as well the ship. the Muslim can do nothing but to see everything down by the fire. and in the end, everyone got killed by the Jews regardless man, women, child, young, old. this is how the Muslim vanished from Spain. so april 1st is know for the success of the Jews vanished the Muslim. here i would like to acknowledge that i am not sure whether it is the Jews who did so. i mean, the story is proven. it just that, in the blog and magazine, they call them 'orang kristian' so i suppose its the Jews.

and so, 1st April 1847 is the day the killing spree happen in granada Spain done by the Jews. it is suppose to be the day where muslim mourn about. but seems like the westerns culture has been in our blood until we forgot such cruel incident that happened. however, according to wikipedia, 1st April is a day to prank people. meaning, the westerners didnt change the fact. it just happen to be coincidence on the same day. although april's fool can date back to the year 1392, i do not know if the westerners has anything to do with the 'coincidence'

anyway, since you guys are now aware of this, besides fooling people on this date, remember the truth fact behind the date. if you have any muslim friends that enjoy april day, advice them. and tell them the truth. they deserve to know the fact. in no time, when the malaysia gov realized this, they will, again, yes again, HARAMkan this april fool day for muslim, just like what they did for Valentine's Day. it just matter of time before they haram everything. hahaha.

talk about valentine's day, i got something to share with lucky readers of my blog. i knew this long time ago, when i was still in form 4, during one of my history class. this story told by my favorite tutor, K.Siiva and i remember this today, and forever. here is the fact:

"Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius the Cruel was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. The good Saint Valentine was a priest at Rome in the days of Claudius II. He and Saint Marius aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Saint Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. He suffered martyrdom on the 14th day of February, about the year 270. At that time it was the custom in Rome, a very ancient custom, indeed, to celebrate in the month of February the Lupercalia, feasts in honour of a heathen god. On these occasions, amidst a variety of pagan ceremonies, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed. "

Quoted from http://www.pictureframes.co.uk/pages/saint_valentine.htm

meaning, someone good, by the name Saint Valentine, a priest in Rome, despite disallowed to aid marriages, he secretly help a couple. end up, the Rome found out and order him to be kill by the stated method above. so this date, 14 February should be the day we, the whole world, mourn about this great passionate priest. but how the heck we are celebrating it? BIG LOLZZZZZZ

well, young generation, wait! this valentine's day has been celebrate loooong time ago before even Y2K. here is another clearer fact about valentino :

"Alongside a woodcut portrait of him, text states that Valentinus was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius the Goth [Claudius II]. Since he was caught marrying Christian couples and aiding any Christians who were being persecuted under Emperor Claudius in Rome [when helping them was considered a crime], Valentinus was arrested and imprisoned. Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus made a strategic error: he tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't do it, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate [circa 269]. "

fully quote from http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=159

haha an online christian web :P

well i guess its clearly stated the reason here. and i hope, you people can at least pay some respect to this great man. a man who died for truth. for peace. for family. for love. i did not haram you guys from celebrating it. but, since you know the truth, what you gonna do? tak percaya, boleh pergi google :)

anyway, since the day i knew this fact, yea when i was 16 years old, i didnt really celebrate valentine's day. or i should say, i didnt had gf during valentine's day XD

well actually got la but just that, i 'had' to celebrate cause my ex, or current gf wanted it to be special. i guess if she knows the fact, she still want it to be special. well if i was single, i definitely wont celebrate it. NOT BECAUSE I WAS SINGLE! because i know the fact. if i got gf, i would tell her about the fact. and.... hopefully she can understand me. further more, during this day, everything double the price for couple. why spent more?? LOLZ
