I didn't what to say more about the Denmark Cartoon row But some people do have something to gain by stirring it up. Unfortunately the are some malicious people who are manipulating people and the media to cause division, hate and violence between Muslims and non-muslims. And there's credible evidence to support that there is a highly organised campaign to stir up division. things are not always what they seem on the surface (though things could get deeper still) this a manufactured crisis I have no wish help "the devil" by fanning the flames the manipulators have ignited. I will not play their game.

We should drop the matter. It was done in September, it's finished. If it hurts muslims then we should not hurt them more by causing them to think about it. Instead we should concentrate on what we can do to make the life of Muslims in Denmark better maybe by getting them to meet more often with Danish authorities and educate the Danish right wing people so that they are not afraid of the Muslims Why are there so many muslims in Denmark ? Aren't they largely there cos they are refugees fleeing nations oppressed them.. cos no freedom of speech etc ? OK drop it

Crowds at Batu Caves Festival	Sat - Went to Batu Caves crowded and did see people with the cheeks pierced etc, Sennu took some good more Batu Festival photos Plaza Merdeka - Malay singing a bit boring Sun- Prep work - Genting Highlands , turns out to be a clump of huge hotels perched on top of the summit... couldn't find any countryside to visit couldn't find any though it looked good from the cable car. I would like to go back and visit the Genting Tea Plantation sometime Nice countryside, but difficult to get to, huge hotel complex with secret tunnel to China, good view, but cloudy. Mon- took Pablo the Puerto Rican who lives in Pusan around

Vengeance by George Jonas- After 11 Israelis were killed by Palestinians the Israeli intelligence amazingly stupidly comes up with a vengeance plan to set up a team to assassinate people connected with the terrorists. Of course though largely successful there are botchups. (the book doesn't mention the innocent Norweigen waiter killed in another incident.) Then members of the team start to get assassinated. So then they have to kill the assassin. Finally it seems Israeli intelligence threaten the resigned team members daughter. (There were 3 remaining targets, maybe killed later) What did they achieve ? They put 9 terrorists out of action. Killed civilians, KGB, Palestinian guards, lost 2 israeli agents and an assassin. Made things more difficult for future terrorists ? Made Israel safer ? Caused more future terrorists. Probably made Iraelis seem bad. Unquantifiable.. Still holding out an olive branch to peace would have been more productive. They perpetuated the cycle of violence instead of working towards peace. What's the endgame ?How can you ever be reconciled with your enemies unless you you do "the Christian thing" and forgive instead of doing one bad thing cos someone did something bad to you. Violence breeds violence ..live by the sword die by the sword etc

Larry Elder - 10 Things can't say in America- black guy telling blacks not to be racist etc. Tues - Internet Wed - internet Bangsar Thu - Internet, Orang Asli Museum - OK - would be best to visit on weekend when shop open etc, video interesting .. found a good place for swimming in the river valley up the road Saturday - Went on a MNS guided walk around Damansara Forest Rserve that they are trying to conserve.I was disappointed. It's not so impressive, just a walk in the woods, but worth preserving". ( I only just made the 8.45 start after an almost 2 hour bus journey.) The forest story is in Todays Star metro Central Terrible photo ..she looks as if she's telling me off or something in fact thwe woman in the middle is the guide. Newspaper story Actually i was quite disappointed by that walk, but yesterday I saw something we could copy. I went to Kent Ridge canopy walk and then Bukit Timah Hill. At Kent ridge the road goes to the top of the hill then the path begins. What they have done is built the path out from the top of the hill using piling on the slope so you are actually walking through the top of the trees. So 1. you have a great view. 2. you see the canopy 3. you are not disturbing the forest floor which is the normal problem with forest paths. That would be a great thing at Damasara (if you know someone who can do piling !). Their path is 2m wide, but 50cm would be enough.
