Hello There Van I have seen and read the article and completely disagree with your views and I don't think you have carried out a neutral research.
First of all, I make it clear that I ran is a shiite country, a branch of muslims like protestants. And they have many rules different from the majority muslims.
Secondly, muslims believe the Quran to be the word of god and though god didn't pick up a pen and write it but it is the word of god. And if yopu had done your research well Abubakar was the first Caliph and he did not write but all the great scholars who had byhearted the quran had put it in paper. Abubakar was apprehensive of doing this because the prophet couldn't do it in his lifetime. As soon as the word of god was delivered he didn't stay much long and departed.
And about the ruling that came later takes precedence over the first is probably true, but here you don't know which came first. You have to learn . And most of the aayah which talk about beheading or killing are regarding when in battlefield.
And to prove it when the prophet came victorious to Mecca , but when he came he passed the order to harm no one. He gave them the option to saty there and become muslim or leave.
You say non muslims are inferior to muslims. Thats a wrong assessment. Once a muslim and a jew had a dealing and the muslim backtracked , they quarelled and decided to go to the prophet and he gave the ruling in favor of the jew, then they went to Abubakar who again gave the ruling in favor of jew, then they went to Omer the second caliph, he said wait here. He went inside and brought a sword and chopped the head of the muslim. If it was the case like you said the it would have been the jew's head.
I can see that you are dutch and have shown the mentality by presenting distorted facts. About the great terrosrists attack, yes muslims have done them I don't denounce them neither do I approve them, but look at the muslims where they are fighting.
You know Osama was such a dangerous man then why did the CIA train him and sent him to Afghanistan. Before Saddam regime was thrown he was the green-eyed boy of US. Who provided the afghans with the weapons- Americans.
And you talk about killings, I think you don't read the news. Once a marriage party was blown and the bride and the groom were killed with several hundred realtives dead. And they say they were regrouping to attack. Atroious statement when not a single bullet was found any where near the marriage party. There was mass burial of muslims in chechenis and bosnia and how many came forward to show these pictures.
Look at whats happening at the guatanamo bay , don't you think it would anger any decent man's sentiments be it moderate or hardliner. Osama had asked the Us army to leave after the forst gulf war but they didn't and that ticked him off. You know not all of these men fighting are crazies and just want to end their life and thought a noble way. Osama is a millionare if not a billionare and he gave that all up and living in rugged terrains. WHY? psycho? I don;t think so.
Israel took hold of that country by doing the same kind of terrorists activities. And now when the people who want freedom do the same they are terrorists. Most of the places where muslims are fighting , they are fighting for freedom and when that is opposed in any way by other countries thats when the beans spill over and terrorists activities start.
Nexct time while writing I say you can do better with a well done research with neutral perspective, the you will do better. You have done the research or whatever with your on one point with your perspective and you found what you wanted not the whole story.
Its like " I am telling a lie, to save someone" but you wanted to hear the first part and went on ignoring the second part.
A truly genuine and nice poem. The content in this poem is of utmost importance. I think giving space between the lines was a good idea. The feel and the format of the poem is good and I think you have done a wonderful job here.
An inriguing and often touching story of a girl. Your narration seems good and you maintain a tight grip through out the story. In fact you tie the reader into reading the poor girl grow up.
But the best thing or stand out part of this story was its end, to be precise its last line.
NOTE: It does not have a fairy tale ending but have to read to believe how good the end was.( at least to the girl's point of view).
A really interesting and unique premise. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this post. The dialogues of the protaganist and the way she handles them is very light humored and good.
And the company she works for is another great novelty of this story and this is slightly in the wane of "guide to galaxy" .
A really perfect poem acting like a parable for todays world. This is free verse so I think rhyming was completely let go to make way the brilliantly told matter. The structure is solid and flow or continuation of the poem is consistent in its own way.
The way the preaching is done by using the examples of dogs is really unique and makes this poem much better.
"there will always
be a bigger dog come along that can mark higher"
This line in the second stanza is not right and may need change like an addition of "which comes along"
Have to give the credit to you, you will be peerefect for a newspaper who needs space fillers. You just seem to be churning out his stuff and so regularly without compremising the quality. This here to is the perfect example of your genius.
Keep writing.
A nice attempt at something different from the usual stuff. The snow and the weather in here more likely strikes a chord with the reader.
I did not find any spelling errors ( I didn't look with eagle eyes). But there is vast scope in improvement here.
First there are grammatical errors:
"... as I look at her again and my suspicions are confirmed-she’s no one who I know."
[ as I look at her again, my suspicions are confirmed. She is not someone I know.]
And there are still some errors like the one above and needs some rewriting.
Your narrative is a tad dull, even though it is cold in the story, you have to add something to the narrative so the reader is kept glued till the end.
An excellent poem with truly rich feelings incorporated in it. The format is nice and easy on the reader's mind. The rhyme is flowing and with emotions of different kind intersperced in it,we as a reader must feel compelled to hear that little voice you are talking about. The voice which we all at one time or the other must have heard but ingnored it.
Great poem. Keep up the good work.
This is a genuinely well researche and well analyzed articel from you Flower. The changing world and the more changing America the brother for democracy and freedom is doing such things knowingly or unknowingly.
Had I not been on a GP collecting spree for my membership renewal I would surely have sponsored this item.
A very good story told most brilliantly. This has to be the work of a story teller.
The story has a feel of old folk tales which is refreshing and only helps the atmosphere build in the story.
The way the story is written is good and it is fast paced. There is a kind of supressed suspense and the brisk pace makes the story for a good read.
Everyone with a thirst for old yet refreshing tales should give this one a try.
You are a master vat writing if this piece of fiction is any thing to go about. The only regret is the title, I would say dont change it until you find some thing extra ordinary beacuse this deserves it. The way you write is more or less like a movie.
A writer is a good writer when he intertwines great writing with great story telling and the content automatically takes a back seat but here even the content is just brilliant I dont under stand the 4 star average rating but surely can see you continuing this fiction in much more brilliant way and surprising the writers as you go on writing.
I had found this on the sponcered page and was very apprehensive to read mainly because of the lame title.
That has top be one of the most imaginative and well written piece of fiction I have read here at writing.com. And Mark it seems your adept at writing such stuff.
The prologue is what they call the "hook" and it does what it is used to do get the reader hooked. A brilliant idea from you because the actual start seems to be slow and going no where.
As soon as Dan gets passed out and finds himself in the quarantine the story picks up some pace. The dialogues and the realationship between Dan and Pol is shown beautifully and the charcterization seems to be very good.
This piece of fiction reads as a fiction by some of the most famous authors works. A really good writing technique with the ability of brilliant story telling makes this a winner.
