Welcome to Spirit21
They say that there is a glass ceiling for me because (as Michael Moore would put it) I am not a stupid white man. Another they says I should temper my passions and desires, my dreams and ambitions because I am not a brown be-turbaned man. Some Theys say that I should fight my oppression, that I should rout it and defy it. Some say I face no oppression, that I should be happy that I am blessed and should accept my fortunate and happy lot. If you are not with us, they say, you are with the others, and they are wrong.
Spirit21 is a space to bring colour to this monochromatic world. I don't believe that black or white are the only options. Why not pinks, blues, yellows or browns? I am not us, nor am I Other.
I am me

I have tried posting a comment several times already with some questions that I would have liked some answers to. But clearly you have recently started censoring your little blog ey? Are you just too good to answer the questions? Or do you just not allow for any comments coming from Israel? As it is you leave me with no other choice but to assume the worst of you, ie that you CANT asnwer the questions because you refuse to be even slightly self-critical. I guess its always easier to blame the Jews ey?
One more thing....why post these pictures exactly? Thousands of tragedies exactly like this one occur every day in every part of the world. What is your point? I have yet to find a single religious Muslim to post pictures of Jews suffering like this or, even worse, the people in Darfur. Remember, there is an actual genocide going on there???!!!
Brutalities that make this look positively pathetic are occuring there every single day. But who gives a shit about black people or what exactly is your attitude?
Nope I guess you just dont care about non-Muslim blood. If not you might want to at least mention the tragedy of the situation in Iran or Saudi Arabia where innocent women (and men) are executed due to Sharia law regulations?
But hey, blaming the Jews or foreign policy is always more convenient than a little bit of self-criticism I guess...
this is so stupid and pointless
u r soooo wack!!!!
What can i possibly say to someone who looks at pictures of death and says "you are so wack". Manners, please! We're British!
omg i cant believe someone would look at these images and critizes them and say they aren't important. that is the most trajic thing i have ever seen, and you call it nothing!!!! get real.
"If not you might want to at least mention the tragedy of the situation in Iran or Saudi Arabia where innocent women (and men) are executed due to Sharia law regulations?"
now i'd like to kick the ass of whoever made such a stupid generalization.
you talk about different kind of situation.
I think before you judge Shariah you have to read about and look to history, by the way since 1400 years when they implemented in a good manner not as no a days.
also its not acceptable to see this kind of killing then say it doesnt matter I always say if people put them self of other choose they feel of them for sure!!!! I am right?
