Protesters threaten bloodshed over Hindu temple
Now, the question is this….should I get all riled up when a bunch of idiots march down the street carrying the severed and bloody head of a cow?
1. If I support freedom of expression and democracy, I have to say no, on the basis that freedom of expression forms the foundation of democracy. But I am a monarchist.
2. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens being slaughtered everyday to serve our tastebuds. So regardless of whether the idiots were going to march or not the cow was as good as dead anyway. Lets call the cow “Daisy” and the idiots that carried it as the “Idiots”.
3. What is the purpose of the Idiots? To raise tension between Hindu’s and Muslims? Perhaps. Should I fall for it…..no. Because most of the Muslims I know will balk at this sort of thing, even if its for nothing more than the fact that it has no class at all.
4. What about the threat of bloodshed? This has to be taken seriously. I am as religious as a papaya tree, but I will defend the right of my fellow citizens to follow their respective religious beliefs. Whether it be a mosque, temple, church or vihara whose construction is being blocked, then I will stand with those that the place of worship belongs to.
5. Is there a ‘hidden hand’ behind tha action of the Idiots. Probably, because even stupidity has its limits, but greed is always limitless.
6. Will I care much unless this escalates? No. And even if it escalates, I will rate this as lower than the betrayal of the Kg Buah Pala residents by PR. This is just idiocy, Kg Buah Pala is pure daylight robbery.
7. So what now? Nothing I guess. I never get riled up by Idiots, it takes a genius to piss me off. I will just keep my focus on what happens to Kg Buah Pala’s residents and all of Daisy’s living cousins over there….unless of course…………..
So, Daisy, God Speed i guess. May you be reborn as anything but an Idiot.
