Buenos Aires-based digital artist Martin De Pasquale has created some mind-bending photographs that prove Photoshop is not just about airbrushing and making people look beautiful. 

De Pasquale has used the program to place himself in a darkly surreal and quirky world created with the click of a mouse.

The result is a portfolio of work that comments on the weakness of the human body and the obsession with image and beauty. (Caters News)

Bubur Lambuk Warisan Kampung Baru Kak Sham

Today is the first day of Ramadhan and in Malaysia, ‘bubur lambuk’ is one of the most popular food for iftar or breaking fast.

There are different types of ‘bubur lambuk’ in Malaysia, and in Kuala Lumpur the most popular bubur lambuk is ‘Bubur Lambuk Kampung Baru’; which is my favourite.

Today I am going to have ‘Bubur Lambuk Kampung Baru’ for iftar so we went to Aunty Sham’s bubur lambuk stall in Kampung Baru to buy the ‘bubur lambuk’.

It was very, very hot over there and the sun was shining brightly over our heads.

I was already hungry at the time and I became hungrier as I looked at the bubur lambuk.

Aunty Sham’s ‘bubur lambuk’ is very, very tasty and the best that I’ve ever tasted.

Every year, during the month of Ramadhan, we’ll drive to Kampung Baru just to buy her tasty ‘bubur lambuk’.

Mujahid Yusof Rawa Is A Muslim Scholar?

In the above article, Mujahid Yusof Rawa told The Malaysian Insider:

“And we have also clearly mentioned that the new laws will not interfere with Article 3 of the Federal Constitution, which states that Islam is the official religion of the federation and other sections which talk about the rights of the Malays and the rulers,” he added.

Exasperated by the attacks from Muslim groups which claimed the bills were drafted to uphold the “liberal-secular” conventions of human rights and drafted by those who were anti-Malay and anti-Islam, Mujahid countered by pointing out that he was himself an Islamic scholar.

“I don’t know what is Islamic to them. I am an Islamic scholar. They are saying that they can condemn other religions but the same cannot be done to them. That is not Islamic,” he said.

The bills, he noted, are “very Islamic” as all stipulations in them were based on the teachings of the Quran.

re: “… Article 3 of the Federal Constitution, which states that Islam is the official religion of the federation … “

Article 3 of the Federal Constitution says that Islam is the religion of the Federation and not the official religion of the Federation.

re: “I don’t know what is Islamic to them. I am an Islamic scholar”.

Is Mujahid a real Islamic scholar or is he only a PAS’s scholar?

Below is what I copied from his blog:

1) Doktor Falsafah (PhD) Siyasah Syariah, UM
2) Sarjana (MA) Pembangunan Sumber Manusia, UPM
3) BA Bahasa Arab & Sastera, Al Azhar, Mesir

Mujahid also made a lot of statements against the teaching of Islam, the rights of Muslims, Muslim authorities, Muftis, Muslim scholars and Muslim activists.

re: “The bills, he noted, are “very Islamic” as all stipulations in them were based on the teachings of the Quran.”

In another article by TMI, “Let Parliament debate protection for gays and lesbians, NGOs tell Unity Council”, it wrote that in the draft of the bills, there is a clause supporting LGBT.

So how could Mujahid claimed that, “the bills are “very Islamic” as all stipulations in them were based on the teachings of the Quran”?

LGBT is against the teaching of Islam and not part of the teachings of the Quran.

I wonder what will Mujahid say about this?
