Blasphemy

Ramadan is a holy month for the Muslims, full of blessings. But a few of us do not care for its sanctity, and cannot avoid indulging in evil ways just for one month. I happemed to witness an incident which made me think as to what level we have fallen. A young man was walking on the road when when two other young men on a motorbike came from behing and snatched away his cap, leaving him quite stunned. It reminds me of what Bernard Shaw once said, "Whereas Islam is the best system, Muslims are the worst people."
