It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.

It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.

It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.

It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.

It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.

It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.

It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey

It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.

It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.

The list goes on………..

Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!

BUSKER YANG BERBUSKING

Tweet

Sejak akhir - akhir ini area Kota Kinabalu dilanda demam BUSKING.... Tiba - tiba sales ukelele meningkat naik. Sebenarnya ini adalah satu perkembangan yang sihat. Kalau dulu pemusik jalanan di pandang serong namun kini ramai yang nak jadi busker...

Tapi setakat mana, attitude seorang pemusik jalanan itu hadir dalam jiwa seseorang busker... kalau dulu setahu aku busker ini adalah pemusik underground yang menentang arus mainstream dimana kreativiti musician dikawal oleh syarikat rakaman. Namun sekarang ni artis AF pun busking... adakah industri musik kita sudah semakin terbuka?? ataupun hanya sekadar mengikut trend semasa???

Sekarang aku ingin fokus kepada konteks di Kota Kinabalu plak, setahu aku di Kota Kinabalu hanya ada seorang yang benar2 seorang busker ataupun pemusik jalanan.... aku tau/nampak (tapi tak kenal) uncle ni sejak aku kecil lagi era tahun 80'an. dari dulu hingga kini dia masih berada ditempat yang sama bermain alatan kegemarannya iaitu sebuah biola.

 

Uncle ni korang boleh jumpa dia di kaki lima berdekatan dengan klinik Dr. Suzain menuju ke arah Bangunan Wisma Merdeka, Kota Kinabalu.

Tujuan aku menulis ni bukan nak memperlekehkan para busker2 kat Kota Kinabalu, ada di antara mereka juga terdiri daripada rakan2 aku. Ada diantara mereka juga pernah aku join sekaki berbusking di salah sebuah shopping mall di Kota Kinabalu.

Persoalannya... setakat mana keinginan korang nak berbusking.. adakah setakat nak ikut trend? nak tackle ciki? nak cari duit? minat(bullshit)? apa kata sekali sekala kita busking join uncle biola tu amacam?? Kalau korang tanya aku? hehe aku tak suka busking2 ni aku lebih prefer stage performance hahahaha baru la glamer

bukan nak meninggi diri tapi terus terang la aku cakap kalau nak berbusking ni korang kena mempunyai vocab or music library dlm otak yang luas... penguasaan alat musik yang baik, suara tak payah adjust kat mixer pun sedap.... malangnya aku takder semua tu hehehehehehe tulah aku tak suka busking2... menempel kat tepi2 orang busking main kastenet boleh la hehehehehehe.

Sebelum aku ingin mengakhiri entri kali ni aku nak share ngan korang video2 bebudak kat negara jiran kita busking... boleh tahan juga drg ni.. true talent!!!!!!
