1535 HRS JULY 26TH 2007

Headlines in TODAY paper,

NOT IN ISLAM'S NAME.

It detailed how the vast majority

of Muslims in the world

are actually against suicide bombers.

90% of Muslims in Indonesia

74% of Muslims in Malaysia

71% of Muslims in Palestine

66% of Muslims in Lebanon.

These are what I call

the Silent Majority.

In this society of ours,

our lives are almost

always ruled,

our thoughts are almost

always dictated,

by the Tyranical Minority.

Just look at Swingabore.

How many of us actually approve

of how this government controls us?

But it is always the tragedy

of the Silent Majority

to let things happen.

Reminds of my darling's

favourite song,

"Fools said I, you do not know,

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you

take my arms that I might reach you

But my words, like silent raindrops fell,

and echoed,

in the wells of silence...."

So I don't know what

the journalist was trying

to achieve by writing

the headlines.

It really does not matter,

if the majority of Muslims

in this world

disapprove of suicide bombing.

The fact remains,

that as long as they remain

the Silent Majority,

we can hope

for no change

in the incidences

of suicide bombing.
