Something I’ve never noticed before:

Snape not only deflects McGonagall’s attack but uses it to take down Alecto and Amycus in a single armwave behind his visual field. Like they both had their wands out too but BOY they did not see that coming. Snape knew that he needed to get rid of them before being driven out of the castle so that they wouldn’t harm any of the students GOD what a badass motherfucker

Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS, shall we?

Without Muslims you wouldn’t have:

Coffee

Cameras

Experimental Physics

Chess

Soap

Shampoo

Perfume/spirits

Irrigation

Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons

Combination locks

Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.)

Surgical instruments

Anesthesia

Windmill

Treatment of Cowpox

Fountain pen

Numbering system

Algebra/Trigonometry

Modern Cryptology

3 course meal (soup, meat/fish, fruit/nuts)

Crystal glasses

Carpets

Checks

Gardens used for beauty and meditation instead of for herbs and kitchen.

University

Optics

Music

Toothbrush

Hospitals

Bathing

Quilting

Mariner’s Compass

Soft drinks

Pendulum

Braille

Cosmetics

Plastic surgery

Calligraphy

Manufacturing of paper and cloth

It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.

It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.

It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.

It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.

It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.

It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.

It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey

It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.

It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.

The list goes on………..

Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!

What you said: I want to be an artist.
What your parents heard: I want to throw my life away, I hate you, I don't care about your struggles when you came here to give me a better life. I'm dropping out of school. I just started worshipping satan last week.
What your parents tell their friends: My son/daughter is going to study medicine, you know become a big doctor.

“Your 20’s are your ‘selfish’ years. It’s a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker with shit, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground.”

News Update: I lost miserably at the Election of Top Achiever Students in my faculty. It was not unpredictable because I have the lowest GPA, less attractive activities track record, and the lamest presentation. I want to write in my own defense and list all of the technical problems during my presentation but it will make me a coward. Well, I am a coward so I’m just gonna list it:

1. Laser pointer and presentation slide remote that was not working properly

2. The microphone died

3. The air conditioner died in a room full of people

4. I haven’t had my breakfast so I was delivering my presentation in hypoglicemic condition causing hyperventilation, tremors, and I couldn’t think on the stage

I actually think that my paper was really good but I couldn’t deliver my idea to the audience so I have every right to lose. I had already prepared to lose in the beginning, but then I got a really kind, supportive, and dedicated paper counselor; my mom suddenly got interested on what i’m doing for the first time in my life and actually said “love you” for the first time in my life also; my boyfriend and his mother, also three friends who put their faith on me (I have no peer group so a friend’s support means a whole lot). And I let them down. I’m most afraid, in this world, to let someone down. I didn’t just let someone down, I let SEVEN people down. That’s a huge sum for me whom not able to maintain a good relationship with people.

My preparation to lose had gone away the moment my paper counselor wishing me luck before I presented my idea. I’m so afraid to let them down I was also afraid to speak, so I stood there silent, catching my breath as if I had been running marathon. The judges tried to cheer me up by saying “it was a quite good presentation” but I know it was not. I have this huge weakness/strength of unable to think or deliver speech orderly. My mind always jump from one idea to another. From politics, to art (I even created a choreography when the other contestants were presenting their paper, to research ideas, and so on. The strength in it is that I never run out of ideas, that if I took action on it I probably have become a billionaire.

So when the event had ended, and everyone was congratulating the finalists, I began to cry. But I have to make it clear here that I don’t hold any grudge to the winners, I was just disappointed at myself and afraid to go home. Why? In my earlier years, my grandparents had raised me really tough. If I did something bad or just not doing well at something I would get locked up in bathroom and then given yesterday’s food to eat for the whole day. If I said something bad, they would make me rinse my mouth with soap. If I don’t understand the subject they taught me, I would get slapped. I was not allowed to make friends not to mention playing with them, because they said it will give me bad influence. My parents were busy working and if I complained, I was only told not to be a crybaby.

I knew it won’t happen anymore because I have lived separately from my grandparents for two years now, however I just can’t seem to get rid of the past. And the pressure got overwhelming because my mother was the nation’s Exemplary Doctor on 2009, and I feel forced to win it. The thing I did just to help my friends with hope that I can gain a closer friendship bond with them (because the contestant was only 6). If only, there had been honorary award for dedication in art, I might be able to win it and actually bring home something that can make my parents finally say “We’re proud of you”. The only thing that I want.

At home, I could not stop crying until the next day, even in my sleep, because I could barely sleep. The stupid moment where I stood like a statue, not having any words to say, was one of the worst moment in my life keeps coming back to me. I got anxiety attack, I was restless, panic, paranoid, and become a huge burden for my boyfriend who already suffers from my unstable psychological condition since the beginning of our relationship. At random times, I might scream, cry, faint, without anybody able to help me.

I thought, if only I can gain from my passion which is dancing and drop out dentistry. But I know in Indonesia it is not likely for the glory of art to bloom because of the religion doctrine (a good thing actually). But if I had become a dancer, the income isn’t fixed, and my boyfriend’s parents might not accept me because I don’t have certain future. So I will just stick to it until I become dentist, work my ass off so I can give back to my parents and then continue schooling in another faculty, law or art perhaps.

The same thing may apply in different condition, such as when you have to hold yourself back when you’re talking to certain people. Because being yourself might make them go away from you. I have always envy the people who have friends who let them be themselves. Because for me, being myself drives everyone away. Feel lucky, feel blessed for it, I might look like I have everything, but I am not able to maintain relationship, I am solitary, and it will drive you nuts eventually.

In reference to “Trust God, but tie your camel.” We have brought to you, “Trust God, but see a Therapist.” For those who are suffering from a mental disorder or episodes that are recurrent, see a therapist. Islam recommends that you seek the help you need (as long as it is not haram) to improve your health. Your emotional well being is just as important as your physical well being. Trust that God has put you in good hands with the therapist you have selected. Trust God, but see a Therapist.
