Asking the wrong questions...




I am reading a Yahoo posting about 'Jihad Jane'.

Wanna read it...it's HERE. Below is a snippet of the news.


Washington – The case of Colleen R. LaRose – also known as “Jihad Jane” and “Fatima Rose” – raises troubling questions about the ability of Al Qaeda to attract US-born women to terrorism.

Blond and green-eyed, Ms. LaRose looks more like a former cheerleader than the Western conception of an Islamist extremist. According to the FBI, she told co-conspirators in an e-mail that her appearance would allow her to blend in “with many people,” so that she could achieve “what is in my heart.”

Her US passport would also allow her to travel easily in and out of the country.

US counterterrorism officials long have been concerned about the possibility of Islamic radicalization of US natives. But generally speaking, they have focused on potential terrorist recruits that are males.




I am not at all surprised about the *so-called* terrorism experts in the US being perplexed about how a middle age woman be in cohorts with foreign terrorists. The problem with this sort of foreign experts is that...the questions they posed is made in the plush air-conditioned comfort of the offices in Pentagon where they still believe that the terrorists are against America because the terrorist hates democracy, hates the freedom that the citizens of America have and ultimately hates America because in America, women can vote and does not have to wear a veil over their faces.

The experts seemed surprised about why a woman would put herself in danger and risk herself being caught as a traitor to her own country. Why would a woman do that? Isn't it stupid?

In June, 2008, LaRose ( the woman caught by the authorities) posted a comment on YouTube under the moniker “JihadJane” saying that she was “desperate to do something somehow to help” suffering Muslims.

With the War against Terror now in full swing in Iraq, Afghanistan and soon Iran....the casualities now numbers in the hundreds of thousands of innocent women and children. It doesn't take a fancy slide rule to figure that it CAN sicken even the most blondest, blue eyed woman in America.

Perhaps it's about time the experts ask the right type of questions....

Babyface in KL.




I'm camera shy..




The show opened with a medley of babyface hits...then a medley of his writing/producing hits with the who's who of R&B in America. I grew up listening to Babyface songs sung by Bobby Brown, TLC, Boys 2 Men, Pebbles, Toni Braxton and Whitney Houston.




The guitar is upside down because Babyface is a lefty. So he doesn't strum the guitar with his right hand. I'm wondering why he doesn't buy a specially designed left hand guitar..





Encore...





My date..





At 11.45pm after the show ends...it's our twin towers...
