As Salam alaikum
I am waiting for them to declare a Micheal Jackson holiday. I am not surpirsed by this response in the least, though. Anyone remember how the media reacted when Anna Nicole Smith died? She couldn't sing or dance so I know we are for the long haul here.
As muslims, we sometimes forget that this is their religion now. They have secularized everything to the point where religion is a weekend affair and even the deeply religious believe that it has no business in government.
People have been created to worship. When they don't worship Allah, they find others. Celebrities are the new gods. People call him a "pop idol." There is also the American Idol show where the people actually get to vote on who to worship next. It reminds me of the polytheists who would carve their gods out of foodstuff like oatmeal, worship it, then eat it. Subhanallah. What is scary is that we all know it is only going to get worse.
There will be a time when the best of men will be the guy who upon seeing a man fornicate with his mother in the open, will ask them to at least go behind a wall. We are in the transition to those times. Evil and deviance seep into societies like an infection, not just one big "boom," and we are now in the middle of that increasing sickness.
At least we know the cure and insh a Allah we will be able to protect our families.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
