Q. Comments on Jerald F. Dirks's books?

Salaam to all,

Dr.Jerald F. Dirks is coming to Singapore in 2009 ! Well, according to Darul Arqam and I hope (God-willing), I will be able to attend to the occasion when the day comes.

Has anyone read his books before? Honestly, I have not, though amazingly he already wrote many books on Islam.

Salaam ahxuan,

Well it is, what is much sadder I guess was that the Palestinians were already the victims of both sides from the start. It's either you support the Hamas or the government which you end up being prime suspect of 'terrorist activities', or die as victims by Israel's offensive or security countermeasures.

As Palestinians, I pity that they may be well, angry and also confused at the state they are in. They want to chaange and rebuilt their future, but the so-called 'the world' is turning their backs on them. Israel is not doing a good job on their hand, especially when history with Muslim nations were always at all time low. We Muslims, should pray, and most importantly, stand u against violence and breach of human rights and compassion to those who are innocent and importantly in need of greater attention.
