yah..my new blog with a new layout. actually i don't really like this layout. it's the picture above that's bothering me. maybe i'll change that later. i don't have much to write, so i just paste what i've written currently in the journal section at myspace..

i've just finished reading a book which, as usual, i borrowed from syikin entitled 'Forbidden Love'. it's a story about how a muslim girl, fell in love with a catholic guy, in a country which still practice honour killing. this book surely have a lot of feminisme inside but what the writer trying to potray is the honour killing, which a killing that 'can' be done in the name of the honour of the family, when any female members of the family brought disgrace to the family. the punishment is done without any questions, further investigation or not even any witnesses. this 'code of honour' is a practice preserved from even before islam and christian emerge. in fact, this honour killing is practiced not even by muslim, but even christians, who realize that they're arabic.

even islam oppose the idea of punishing people without the presence of 3 witnesses during the act of guilt. and moreover, claiming an innocent women of adultry, (which they surely didn't do it as i already mentioned the word innocent) is considered one of the biggest sins in islam, and i'm sure about what i'm saying.

back to the book i'm talking about, the father of this women killed her by stabbing her 12 times to her body! that's really sickening man! her own father killed her without even investigating the truth. just grab one of this book or try to borrow it from anyone who had bought it. go to the link below for more info (maybe it will have some more info soon):
