Campus morning..........

Haven't known any new person's into my new year's life arena, but I bet its going to happen soon. Hopefully sooner than later, this player got to play. Anyway, another one of my uneventful weeks continues to unfold, I don't know why it is this way though. Especially with the Gaza thing still going on, and by going on I mean, taking away 700 plus lives.

I think it is just selfish among other things that Israel gets to do this. Someone with some might should be condemning this. However righteous their pursuits are. It is no excuse to go hunting for a dog, while obliterating every cat that's residing in the pound. However apparent the cats don't belong in a pound, it gives no one any right to take nine lives just because a dog *%$#@ on your front yard.

Just to show how global this thing is, I was headed for class at my campus some Monday morning, the Opus Dei types but who have shown a lot of tolerance on the variations of religious and non-religious students storming on its corridors. When the same restraint was however far to be seen, when a class mate of mine was denied entrance to the premises over a 'Kanzu'(read Arafat and Muslim robes) he had worn.
It is one thing to discriminate against someone's attire when that attire proves offensive. But it is down right uncalled for, to discriminate against religion. Sure my good fellow, had track pants, sandals and a t-shirt behind the religious apparel, which are clearly offenses on our campus' dress code. But the point is, some of us should be a little sympathetic if not tolerant with a brother expressing his distaste over Israel's bombardment of the Gaza strip with civilians in it.

I could have done something, but the world is a cruel b*#$% and I surely do not want to go down that road. More so, I would rather do it the easy way, just like the world's doing it. Look away like I can't hear or read the signs of danger, if we let this go by.

So, like my agitated self through most of my lecture, I will fester and froth at the mouth if someone steps on my religious rights, and I will definitely speak about it.
