Don't jump into conclusions... And be smart.. not stupid..

Yeah, yeah... we all heard, Muslims are like worldwide known as terrorists and are trained how to handle guns and bazookas since birth... It's impossible to change people's perspective due to what's there on the news, blogs, newspapers... and all those stuff... It's tremendously ridiculous to change people's way of thinking, even though there's such a thing called 'brainwash'. Some people are smart enough to leave judging jobs to God. But it's undeniably wrong to say that each and everyone of us hasn't even once, judge anything or anyone...

I am a Muslim. Not a good one. I have flaws that are more permanant than the Hollywood walk of fame... Not proud of them, Not letting them pull me down either... But sometimes, i just get sick and tired of the attitude and behaviour of people who claim to be better thaneveryone else.

I received a forward e-mail from a friend alerting people, especially Muslims about this cube building in New York which ressembles the Kaabah in Mekah. And so, they called it 'Apple Mecca'. And my first reaction to this e-mail is "WTF??" i mean seriously how could people throw away respect to other religions and build such a building that looks exactly like the holy kaabah Muslims use to as a guide to pray. (yes note that, we dont 'worship' kaabah... it's a direction guide for prayers). And in the same e-mail it says that the 'apple mecca' is going to be a bar selling drinks and booze in the middle of New York. So i was like, "Seriously, these people are looking for another kamikaze attack..." But then, my rational side of the mind reminded me how lame e-mails like this are the ones that bought up anger and frustration in people's mind for no reason but to mess up humanity. So i looked it up... Turned out that picture was take during construction of the building. It just COINCIDENTALLY looked like Kaabah because that black plates are used to cover up the construction site. I mean, who would dumbly construct a building using black metal plates when there's cybertron technology out there...?

So then i looked for some explanation. Just to confirm things. I already started feeling stupid by then. So i found the final outcome of the building. Turned out it's is JUST a cube shaped ENTRANCE of a building made out of clear glass. And it's called Apple Store Fifth Avenue not 'Apple Mecca'. Fans called it the latter just coz it's supposedly attracts tourists... Oh and it is not a bar! Rofl... could gossip get any worse???
And yes. It was confirmed. My first reaction to the e-mail was as dumb as a donkey's butt. And i was thinking... if someone had sent people a pictorial e-mail of the Transformers cube thingy before the movie was released, saying they're insulting kaabah coz of the resemblance... would people seriously start finding ways to attack Universal Studios for it...?!
So there you go. A beautiful building in the middle of New York... What made me laugh the most is the question of how on earth do people say it's a bar when clearly (i mean crystal clearly) it's a computer store... Unless by any chance computers uses wines and beers as lubricator... Alcoholic beverages... Oh my Goodness...! People should seriously do some research before spreading forwarded e-mails just to provoke others.... I bet whoever started it is just a contractor who didn't get the contract for the building.. so he got jealous and spread lies hoping some Bin Laden wannabes to sabotaj the construction... Either that.. or someone was really bored..

So my whole point of this is to remind myself and others to be a bit more open-minded to any OTHER possibilities. Get your facts straight before you start jumping into conclusions... Religion is a very sensitive issue but don't let it make you lose your sense of humanity. The world is a big place for everyone to share. So don't make it small by being such a dumbass...
