why?

Hello! Hello! Hello! Is anybody out there? I'm going to be very frank here. I’ve to say, I’ve nearly forgotten about this blog, until last night. I received an email at 11.42pm notifying me that someone has posted a comment on my last entry. The comment goes like this “when will you post again? Been looking forward to this!”

Then, I clicked the link to view it on my blog, lo and behold, it was gone! 0 comment, in split seconds. It takes only seconds for her/him to realise the mistake, haha.

Anyway, thanks to this anonymous (^_^) for the wake-up call even though it might not meant for me. Today, I’ve decided to write my first entry for 2011. I’d like to share a story with you. A real story.

As scheduled in my timetable, I attended a CDAMS clinic in *** hospital. That day, I got the opportunity to sit with a psychiatrist. There was a middle-aged man who has been referred by his GP to have his cognition and memory tested.

What I want to share here is some pieces of his opinion about the world. He has many negative thoughts of almost everything - including the Gillard’s government, health system, just name it. But the one that concerned him most is “us”.

“I’m most worried about Muslim community in our country, more than anything! No offence to you young lady. As far as we know, everyone is welcome to Australia, either to work, to study or etc. But, day by day, the Muslim community has becoming larger and larger. And one day, they will take over our country!”

I was struck by this!

Why are non-Muslims afraid of Muslims? of Islam? They know from the fact that, Muslim population is growing and to date, there are 1.6 billion believers all over the world.

And I wonder why non-Muslims do believe that “we” can conquer the world and poise to become the planet’s largest majority? That’s interesting, isn’t it?

Why aren’t they concerned about the surging population of other religions of Vietnamese, Koreans, Sri Lankans, and Chinese?

So, there's something for us to ponder.
