Bloggers Unite For Human Rights.

Yes..today is Bloggers Unite For Human Rights Day..organized by Blog Catalog.Why today?Because this is the date one Chinese journalist was detained by the Chinese Government.People lambasted at what China did to this journalist,to people in Tibet,the Dalai Lama especially to the extend it can jeopardize 2008 Beijing Olympic.

What is Human Right?The right for all human to live as free as possible in this World.But most country have rules,have law?We have to abide to this law,this rules,even though it was created by other human,like us.Law was created to upheld stability,if there is no law,there would be chaos.We always look at things happening in a far away country,to people we don't even know.What about things in our own country?

China is being condemned for having the worst case of human rights issue.Is this true?In what sense of human rights are we looking at here?Human with rights..all human must certainly have rights..What about the rights of the people of Iraq to run their country,not by American army..who gave them the right in the first place to attack Iraq?Aren't this violating human rights?What about their soldiers who are against going to Iraq?Do they have their right not to participate being violated?Torturing prisoners,against human rights.Detainees in Guantanamo Bay..what about their rights?

People of Palestine..what about their rights?living in refugee camps..why?They have their own country,how can someone else just take it away from them?What would you do if this happen to you.Discrimination against Muslims since the 9/11 incident..and lots of other things.

We want to champion human rights..but only do it when it coincide with major event,so more people can relate to it,it has become some kind of promotion agenda..Everybody wants to champion the jailed journalist,the Tibetan people,the Dalai Lama..because now is the best time..all eyes is on China because of the coming Olympic..I think all this is disgraceful..taking opportunity of this big event to make China look bad..some even have boycotted it..We open our eyes to petty things like this,and closed it towards much larger and major issues.Iraq,Darfur,Myanmar,Palestine..there are bigger human rights issue here.

Are we actually doing the right thing?Or just taking part in someone carefully initiated agenda?

I certainly will fight for the rights of my Brothers and Sisters in Islam!It will be more meaningful and more righteous for me being a Muslim.
