Should Different Countries limit the number of muslims going to Mecca?

A pandemic strike the world this year. It is the Swine flu. Hajj is the world's largest pilgrimage. Millions of Muslims gather in Mecca for a submission to God. Since Muslims all around the world are gathering in one city, the swine flu might spread faster in Mecca. Should countries limit the number of people going to hajj? I believe that different countries should limit the number of people going to Mecca because a disease moves from person to person faster when you are in a crowded area. I also believe that the number of Muslims going to Mecca should always be limited because many people die in Mecca every year during the pilgrimage. I think that the people with weak bodies and unhealthy conditions should not go. Senior Citizens should not go because they are getting old and their bodies are not meant for an intense walk from one place to another. Younger children should not go either because they are too young to understand and the walk is too long for them.

The Muslim community may not like it , but I believe different countries should take action for the safety of the Muslim people. Just for 8 days during Ramadan, Saudi Arabia could spend up to millions of dollars. They have to hire more and more police to patrol the tented area. Saudi Arabia has to provide the white bath robe for every Muslim. ( tradition of Hajj) Saudi Arabia is also responsible for hydrating the Muslim people because of the peninsula's hot climate. They have to provide sanitation to prevent the spread of disease. They have to provide sanitary food and water. The country has to provide alternative foods for people for food allergies.

If the Muslim people disagree with my thoughts. Just think about your safety. Religion is a faith and faiths are good for the soul, but they should not be taken too seriously.

Hajj Pilgrammage to Mecca

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Romance is the third element in the new Harry Potter movie. Filmmakers decided it was time to show teenage romance. At the very beginning of the movie, Harry did not stay at 4 Privet Drive. Instead , Harry Potter waited for Dumbledore in a cafe. We saw Harry reading a newspaper and talking to a waitress. The waitress invited him to talk with her after her shift. After the waitress left, Harry blushed a little. After Harry's prophecy was revealed to the media, everybody called him the chosen one. (The person that can vanquish the Dark Lord.)Remilda Vane decided to slip him a love potion because she thinks Harry is the Chosen one. Harry's Best Friend, Ronald Weasley has Lavender Brown crushing on him. This made Herminone Granger upset and jealous. After seeing Ginny with other wizards, Ginny finally revealed her true crush. It turned out that Ginny always loved Harry.

Filmmakers made the romance fit in with the action and the adventure. Shortly After Ron had consumed Harry's love potion from Ramilda Vane, Ron also took a sip of the poison mead . (A stranger (malfoy) gave the mead to Professor Slughorn to be delivered to Professor Dumbledore.)Once again Harry saved the life of another wealsey with the beazor. He stuffed it into Ron's mouth, so that the poison can go away. Harry saved Ginny's life, Mr. Weasley's life and Ron's life. I guess it was good thing Ron decided to sit next to Harry in his first year.

Draco Malfoy has a task to complete. If he does not complete it, then the Dark Lord will kill him. Severous Snape has vowed to protect Draco because of the Unbreakable vow. He was forced to do it because Narcissa and Bellatrix persuaded him. Malfoy has sent Dumbledore a cursed necklace and a poison mead, but the delivery was never made. First , Angelina opened the package and got cursed herself. Then Horace Slughorn served the mead to Ron. Malfoy was devasted because if he failed he would be killed. If Malfoy got killed , then Snape would die with him. (If the unbreakable vow was broken, the person that vowed would die.)When Angelina returned from St. Mungo's hospital, Malfoy ran to the bathroom crying. Harry chased him and used the curse he learned from the half blood prince.

This movie is no longer all about spells, wands, and fighting evil, the movie has transformed itself. Must watch movie of the year.
My grade: A-.

Uigurs protest (contiued)

The Police did not stop them. The Muslims chose to fight and kill. They chose to kill bystanders and ordinary citizens. The Police did the right thing at the right time. When a person is killing another person, the police has to step in. This was never a peaceful demonstration. Murdering someone is a state and federal crime. Protests and demonstrations are legal in the United States, but murder is illegal. In the United States , protests and demonstrations need permits.

Protests in front of the Chinese Embassy in London

I have recently heard on the news that the British have protested in the Uigurs defence. They have been stupid enough to believe that the Chinese government is hurting the Uigurs. The Uigurs chose to attack the Han Chinese. They killed Han Chinese. They destroyed public property. (buses and other public property) The Chinese government arrested the people who were responsible for murdering 139 Chinese citizens.

Murder is a one way ticket to execution. Killing people is not the right way to carry out a point. Killing people makes the situation worse. The Uighur people chose to fight and kill. When 139 people have been killed in a protest, the government should step in. There were more than 1000 people injured and 139 people killed. This is the government's responsibility to step in. The British protesters spoke too soon. They didn't even get the whole picture.

The British needs to learn more and speak less because they are idiots. Great Britain is terrible.Shame on you.
Not all news are truthful. Some news may make up stories. CNN, Fox, BBC, CCTV, etc, have all made up news before. The truth can only be found if you look for it.

Xinjiang Protests and demonstrations

A peaceful demonstration in China's Western providence turns bloody. Xinjiang is China's largest providence in the China's Western region. It has a low population density per square mile. Xinjiang is filled with oil and gas reserves. On the Morning of July 6,2009, a group of High School and college students started attacking the Han Chinese. Three Thousand ethnic Uighurs attacked the Han Chinese living peacefully in Xinjiang. Sources say that at least 156 Han Chinese were killed in the riot. More than 1000 Han Chinese were injured.The true story may be different because the world is unable to know the whole story because of China's information firewall.
The protest got really bloody because protesters started killing innocent civilians. They set cars and buses on fire. They ripped the windshield off of the vehicles.
I completely understand that the Chinese Communist Party can give the Muslims more freedom, however destroying public property does not help their case.

Imagine if protesters came through Time Square in New York City and people destroyed the square. What if the American people killed police men and civilians? What would the US Government do?
In the 1992 Los Angeles riot, the LA Police was shown in a videotape beating African Americans. The riot became worse and the National Guard was sent. In addition to the National guards,the US Army and marines were sent to LA.
The US Government always say that the Chinese government's method of dealing with these riots is wrong, but it's the way the Chinese people protest. It is always obvious to sent the military when a riot turned bad.
Burning buses and cars is not a peaceful protest. That is violence. This is not a peaceful protest.
If you think this is using freedom of Speech, then you're wrong. I want to see somebody protest in the US by burning buses and cars. Try that and see what's going to happen.

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen

In the second Transformers film,there was twice as much action compared to the first, but the movie is a big mess and a half.

When I sat in the auditorium of Multiplex Cinema 15 , I expected a decent film with a good story and plot line. I started watching the beginning and saw fighting at the very beginning. Usually , films begin with a introduction of the problem and main characters. I enjoy action and special effects in a motion picture, but I think Michael Bay overdid the special effects. Overdoing special effects is a bad sign because a good movie is determined by the quality of the acting, story, action, and direction.
In the Dark Knight,Heath Ledger was a wonderful actor as the Joker. Twenty years later, I will remember the Joker. Heath Ledger really acted wonderfully because he made the Joker come alive and be the character that was created by Marvel.
Shia LaBeouf was a wonderful actor , but he didn't put his true feelings into it. His true emotions in to the film. Twenty years later, I will say, Who's Sam Wickwicky? Nobody will know because Shia Labeouf did not do a fantastic job at acting.
I was most disappointed at the lack of a good story because Michael Bay obviously think that Special effects are more important than a good story and plot line. It is because of this notion that the audience got bored. I give Transformers Revenge of the Fallen a C. It was very mediocre in the acting and story.

As I enter Quebec City through a bridge, I saw the hotel I was going to stay in. It's called the Hotel Gouvenor. On the first night of my arrival at Quebec. I travelled to the Sugar sack which was 45 minutes north of my hotel. It was in the rural parts of Quebec , but the farmland was huge. There were trees specifically marked by rope to symbolize the fact that they were harvestin Maple Syrup. The owner and his family gather maple syrup everyday and boil it to make it syrup. If you don't boil it, it's maple sap, not syrup. I first took the owner's train/bus tour of their large farmland. It was amazing;trees everywhere and the view was awesome. After our little ride around the estate, I went into the sack and drank Maple sap. The guide explained how they make it, who first discovered it and how they make it. They have to place a pipe on the tree, take out the sap and place it in a bucket. Then they boil the sap like we boil waater. They boil it until the sap is sweet and sticky. I drank the sap/syrup in a cup. It tasted really good. It was sweet and pure sugar. Then I enjoyed a nice rural Quebec dinner. I had soup , and everything Quebec. I was entertained by the music that was played. There was singing, dancing, and guitar playing. I had a wild and fun night. The dancing was western style dancing with do-si-do and Wild west style.
For a final dessert at the Sugar Shack, I got to eat fresh taffy. The Taffy was pure sugar and delicious. The owner has to first pour fresh,boiled maple syrup on the snow and we collect all of it on the popisicle stick by rolling the stick on the syrup. I ate the taffy 3 times and had a sugar headache because of its sweety goodness. I had a great night and the owner was really nice to his customers. I brought back two bottles of maple syrup. They have the cheapest maple syrup. It was 10 dollars a bootle. Seven dollars cheaper than the Chateau Fortnac maple syrup.

Montreal has great sites, tall skyscrapers and a great Olympic village. It has everything from 18th Century resturants to the Tallest leaning tower. Quebec City has the sugar shack ,old buildings and great 400 year old architecture. The Chateau Frotnac is one of the many unique archiectureal achievements.

Montreal has great sights on the top of the tallest leaning tower. You could see the entire city of Montreal on the top.Did you know that Montreal is on an island? To get to Montreal, you must come into the city through bridges and tunnels. When I arrived by Amtrack ,I went through a dark Tunnel. One of the bridges is the Pierre Lapont Bridge. This bridge is the longest spanning bridge in Canada.

Travelling by Amtrack is great but the travel time is 11 hours. Eleven hours on a extremely chilly train with uncomfortable seats is torture.The only good aspect of Amtrack is that they have a snack cart. On the snack cart, you can play cards, board games and eat snacks purchased from the snack cart.
Montreal has several man made islands because they were for the World Expo. Different countries needed space to exhibit their technology and progress. So they built man made islands just for the purpose of display and exhibit during the expo. On another island is an amusement park with exhilerating rollar coasters and rides.
Did you know that in Chinatown at Montreal, there is a building where the fortune cookies were first invented and manufactured? It's true the fortune cookies were first made in Montreal and they ship the fortune cookies to New York and all over the world. Then on the opposite side of the building where the fortune cookie was first made, is a sign with chinese characters. I travelled to Montreal at the right time to watch the people set up for the Jazz Festival.Every year Montreal has a Jazz festival celebrating jazz, musicans all around the world come to play their Jazz music. People can watch and listen with free admissions. Cirque du soleil will be there and the Circus under the Sun will perform their world famous talented circus acts. They have special decorations at the festivals just for the Cirque du soleil. The lights are decorated to represent the sun.
After you have taken the tour of Montreal with a tour guide, you can go at night and listens to ghosts. These ghosts haunt the city of Montreal with stories of their past. They have been rumored to be scary beyond belief. They tell their story wth blood hanging from the side of their face and rags as the remainder of their clothes. They are just actors that try to tell a story about their past and what they did for Montreal in the 17th , 18th and 19th centuries. There is the founder of Montreal's ghost screaming and looking up all the time. He discovered montreal and thought he brought back diamonds back to Europe, but they were quartz. They were worthless, so he had to deliever the bad news to widows about their husbands being killed by a disease in the new world. The founder and the person who discovered Quebec was furious that his crew died of disease and that he brought back worthless quartz.
As I drive 3 hours north to Quebec City, the capital of Quebec Provinence, I saw the many acres of arable farmland on the drive to Quebec City. They had tons of farm land with many good crops.
