Shedding light on a dark tale

"History will not judge us kindly" -former Attorney General John Ashcroft after a meeting at the White House on torture.

Most Americans are not aware of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui but it should be known that her plight is another dark chapter in America's "War on Terror". This ranks with the attrocities committed at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and numerous other war crimes all committed under the name of "National Security". For the most part the media protrays her as blood thirsty terrorist who seeks to kill all Americans. Which is hard to swallow once you meet her family

This is the time for Americans to take back their country. If they do not want their legacy to be one bloody war after another, they need to show justice in this case and others. Fear of the outside world or distrusting people with different points of view and beliefs will get this great nation no where. This day Sunday March 28, 2010, commemerates the seventh anniversary of the day that Pakistani neuroscientist Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and her three young children were reportedly abducted in Karachi.

Supporters have deemed this day Aafia Siddiqui Day. We have launched a worldwide protest for justice join us and be heard!

More woah!

I don't know this person, first time I heard of her. But...woah! I don't know why people have it in for Muslims so much. It seems no matter what 1 billion members of humanity do they are always demonized. People should not be duped by political agendas that only seek to gain more power for themselves by feeding off of the unfounded fears of others.

I feel for the sister in the clip, it times like these I wish I was back in the MSA.

Ensign Report...

Can you tell I was watching Star Trek last night? It was on SyFy, during commercials they said SGU was coming back in April. I hope they worked on better stories this time around.

Anyways you may notice updates to the sidebar. Our rupee meter feature a shiny 2 rupee coin, to commemorate over 6200 hits! They used to be bills but thanks to devaluation of the currency they had to go. Some new links in the tech biz blog roll, for you perusal. New blogs have all been recommended by the IEEE Computer Society, so you know they're good.

My game development project is coming along nicely. I only get the weekend to work on it, thanks to my day job. I should have screenshots for you when they're ready. So that's about it, leave a comment if you want to. I wont bite, some would say that I am still the same old guy you befriended.

UPDATE: We hit 6300 over the weekend so you guessed it a shiny new 1 rupee coin. which looks a lot like a penny plus it has almost the same value. Talk about working for peanuts!

UPDATE 2: We hit 6400, part of which is just me editing the site, so two shiny 2 rupee coins for your viewing pleasure. This is along the tinker bell principle the more hits the more this site stays alive. Speaking of sites Sadisoft got a boost over the weekend. I bought a nifty new domain name for it click on the logo at the bottom to explore more.

Plus UCF logo had to come down. I can no longer identify with my former online friends our political ideological viewpoints are just to far apart for any kind of reconciliation. The same thing happened in high school but I managed to remain on friendly terms with my acquaintances. In its place is a cool graphic with the shahadath on it. This serves as the first pillar of our faith as Muslims. The graphic has a very borgish feel to it which is appropriate because many westeners find the religion alien and hostile. I am just going with that sentiment to hook them in and show them the reality.

New additions to the community ring, my little sister (what if) takes you on a journey into her inner mind. She loves punk rock and being gloomy her writing reflects that. Plus an old friend from college is a freelance journalist and a blogger check her out at Afrah Jamal. Plus Yusuf Islam is cranking out the tunes once again check out what he is up to at Jamal Records (Political Activism blog roll). And who says Muslims aren't funny Baba Ali has something to say about that, check him out. Peace y'all.

UPDATE 3: We hit 6500, graphic updated in celebration. Hey it's not much but every bit counts. I attribute the last 50 or so hits to my explosive expose and my commenting on FB and other blogs here's to social networking!

Smurfs!

So get this I had a Sunday to myself. Something that I love to relish. I decided to spend my hard earned time flipping through TV channels (I paid for them and I damn will flip through them). When I happened to come across a smurfs episode. Growing up in the 80's I had a vague recollection of these tiny blue people.

I Didn't know any of their names (only papa smurf he stood out with his beard and red cap). Usually when I revisit an old show from my childhood my child memories clash with my adult memories. Usually the show is too childish to hold any water. I was fearing the worst when I settled in to watch the show. To my suprise I found myself sitting through the whole thing. Some how the fantasy world they created was interesting enough to keep my attention. Plus I really cared about the characters, so I wanted to know what happened next. I am glad that in this instance my younger self's taste in entertainment still held true.
