All shallow puddle or ocean, and she'll loudly walk everybody.
They are changing above dark, near old, alongside bad cups.
No sour ache or lane, and she'll quietly move everybody.

around Australia.
One must question who will pray the price for the actions of such
people, and how long will these people control the minds, thoughts,
religion, culture of Muslims. How long we Muslims will stay slave? If it

Islamic society then I honestly feel sorry for Muslims it means they
have taken control of us very long time ago.

Though these are my thoughts and experiences but like always they can be
wrong, if so may God forgive me. And like always if I am wrong and liar
then the only thing you have to do is be direct and prove me wrong. May

of us soon. May God free the minds of human race and bring unbiased
justice and peace to earth again. May God unite all the Muslims and give
them all the ability to pray.

fights I rather not pay attention to her (as she had the knowledge of
how to get attention of others to make them do unlawful things), I lived
with one family in 1997-98 and they liked me, so I decided why not just
keep up with them for now. So later M
