I brought up in a rather conservative family, we don't or never tell my parents (even the other way round) how much we LOVE them, or huge them as we feel like it anytime. How I wish one day I have a chance to tell me mom just like my cat "Mama, I need a hug..."

Open Question: Fellow patriots. Why do some of you think that all Muslims are anti-American? That is just B.S and ignorant..?

Questions & Answers - Thu, 2010-08-26 04:54
First of all why are there so many misconceptions about Islam in this section? Holy Bible : - Deuteronomy 22:21-23 - STONE TO DEATH - ADULTRY PUNISHMENT 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you. 22 If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel. 23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you. NEVER SAY MUSLIMS ARE ALWAYS WITH "PUNISHMENTS", RATHER IT IS IN 'YOUR' BIBLE (CHRISTIANS), WHICH YOU CHOOSE NOT TO FOLLOW!!!! If you think that Islam is oppressive to women than why are more women converting to Islam than men? Go to the link below and look at this NBC news report of Christian women converting to Islam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfx4glTU5JQ I even had a girlfriend once who was a Baptist Christian and later after we broke up shortly before 9-11 happened she wanted to learn about the misconceptions there are about Islam that was on tv and she became a Muslim. We are still friends and I have never seen a happier woman than her. She tells me that Muslim women are not what we see in the media. I myself have traveled to Kuwait, Malaysia, and Turkey and none of those Muslim countries are oppresive to women and none of them were terrorist supporters. Whenever the media reveals unconscionable stories about honour killings, genital mutilation, forced marriage, the punishment of rape victims, women being confined to their homes or women being denied education they are revealing a tale of men and women who are ignorant about the status of women in Islam. Please learn that al-Qaeda is not truly a Muslim group. 300 Muslims were killed in the September 11 attacks. Al-Qaeda has killed more Muslims than any other religious group because true Muslims know that what al-Qaeda does is against Islam. There are thousands of Muslim Americans serving in the U.S. Military to help protect this country. New York's Mayor Bloomberg and many other Jewish groups and others along with the Muslim Americans are hoping that by building this Islamic community center which includes a pool will help clear misconceptions about Islam and Muslims. They are hoping that when people come to this community center they will learn the difference between true Islam and what Al-Qaeda calls Islam. You can call Ground Zero sacred ground but why would you call an old Burlington Coat Factory that is two blocks away from it sacred ground? That old Burlington Coat Factory is where the mosque is going to be. I have been to Malaysia and Turkey and both of those Muslim countries allow Christians to unquestionably build churches. If you really want to know what Islam is, go to the link below http://www.islamreligion.com/ I know a lot about different religions including Islam. I have a degree in comparitive religion. The Quran says "if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind."(Quran 5:32) Yes there are some hypocrites who may not be following what they should be just like there are Christians who are not following there religion correctly. Haven't you heard of the IRA Catholic terrorist group? and the Baptist KKK? I am American, I have been working with many Muslims at work for a long time and none of them are American hating terrorist supporters. Muslims make up 1/4 of the world's entire population. You cannot blame every Muslim in the world for the acts of a few bad ones. But I keep seeing in this section that some people think that all Muslims are anti-American. Why be so ignorant? Go to the link below and find the truth about what religion is Obama is from Collin Powell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYELqbZAQ4M&feature=search

'Segara Ninda', Penang Road (upper), Penang

Segara Ninda, often referred to as the Ku Din Ku Meh Mansion, is a charming Straits Eclectic-style double storey house that dates back to the late-19th century. It once belonged to the late Ku Din Ku Meh or Tengku Baharudin bin Tengku Meh, who purchased the property from Segara Ninda in 1901.

Ku Din Ku Meh was born in Anak Bukit, Kedah around 1848. He started his career at 14 as Head of Kedah Prisons. Ku Din was a literary man, fluent in Malay and Thai. He was known to have transcribed a book of laws in 1894. His diary and some jawi records pertaining to his administration in Setul (Satun) are now kept in the Thai National Archives in Bangkok. In 1897, Sultan Abdul Hamid Halim Shah of Kedah appointed him the High Commissioner of Setul. At the time, Setul, Kayang and Phuket were provinces of Kedah under the domination of Siam. Setul later became a part of southern Thailand under the Treaty of Bangkok in 1909.

Ku Din was highly regarded as an administrator for the various advances which he introduced to Setul in the areas of administration, agriculture, trade and commerce, and education. In 1902, Ku Din assumed the title 'Raja of Setul' and used the name Tengku Baharuddin bin Tunku Meh. During his time, the local ports of Setul traded actively with Rangoon and Penang.

Ku Din himself owned several shipping vessels exporting goods such as birds' nests, timber and coconuts from south Thailand to Penang. Ku Din married a woman from Penang, and had his trading office in this town house on Penang Road. The Siamese government retained Ku Din Ku Meh in his position until he retired in 1916. He passed away in 1932 and was entombed in Setul.

'Segara Ninda' has now been taken over by Tengku Yahaya, the fourth generation descendent of Ku Din Ku Meh, and restored to its original state.

Currently open to the public and operating as budget hotel: www.segaraninda.com/
