This is an old picture taken in Najaf, Iraq on March 31st 2003, by Jean-Marc Boujou, exhibited on World Press Photo 2004;
I've emailed this to my friends in 2004; Looking back in 2005, I've still couldnt contained my emotions as a father looking at the prisoner and his son..thus the reason why I'm reposted it in my blog.
Pasted below the picture description:
An Iraqi man comforts his four yearold son at a holding center for prisoners of war, in the base camp of the US Army 101st irborne Division near An Najaf, southern Iraq, on March 31. The boy had become terrified when, according to orders, his father was hooded nd handcuffed. A US soldier later severed the plastic handcuffs so that the man could comfort his child. Hoods were placed over detainees' heads because they were quicker to apply than blindfolds. The military said the bags were used to disorientate prisoners and to protect their identities. It is not known what happened to the man or his son.

Last night around 9:00 pm.. managed to view channel 52 National Geographic Special: DNA Mystery: Search For Adam, fascinating a DNA investigation to ascertained the existence of Adam..(or Prophet Adam a.s)..
Who was he, where did he live and what did he look like? This program attempted to visualized his face..his origin..etc..interesting.
Contrary to popular belived of Adam a.s as depicted in Vatican drawings by Michealangelo (where Adam was drwn as a italian white man), Adam facial was found out to be similar of african race and existed 60,000 years ago!.. 60,000 years ago..if verified and confirmed..the theory of peking..african men..evolution all those mumbo jumbos are crap.. because conventional evolution theory depicts men as started walking at about million years ago; approximately 4 million years ago by evolution theory (peking men was estimated to be between 500,000 and 300,000 years old)..link for human evolution
The place estimated as a living place for Adam a.s was in Africa between Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya a.k.a the safari
Just imaging 60,000 years ago..not much of the landscape chnaged..so we can anticipate Adam lived in the same landscape that we see African safari today!
This place is suitable because of numerous resources available!..
Most impressive the conlcuding statement by the narrator All humans have a common and recent bond—a family bond. We are all cousins!!!
Actually this was the same conclusions we had few years back..when i was an engineering student, few of us went for a private tour to planetarium in early 90’s; planetarium was just recently opened, with two permanent staffs.. Dr. Mazlan (now Prof. Mazlan a woman) and Dr.Nurul (a man).. (aeab, yusran,liza, safarina etc..) we met Dr.Nurul and engaged in hours long conversations on space then tresppased on human evolution etc. We came at morning 10.00 am and went back around 6.00 pm..
One of the interesting conclusion that we got was..there must be a parallel process..a divine species i.e Adam a.s sent down to earth and does not involved in evolution process et.al whereby existed another being similar to human being but different in form (ape like) already existed in earth.. not creative, intuitive enough like Adam but yet physically resembled..and end product?.. our conclusion is the other formed of human like ..existed in nowadays world in the shape of yeti, bigfoot etc.. of which no one is able to proof their existence..but..then again this all another sotry which i am menyimpang from tajuk asal…

Yesterday after maghrib.. chanced upon an IKIM Radio on air..and it was playing a song of tetamu senja by kopratasa..originated from a poem by A.Samad Said 1955.. i thought the word was beatifully crafted and offcourse the profound meanings in it..
Kita Ini Tetamu Senja
Kita datang ini hanya sebagai tetamu senja
Bila tiba detik kembalilah kita kepadaNya
Kita datang ini kosong tangan kosong dada
Bila pulang nanti bawa dosa bawa pahala
Pada tetamu yang datang dan kenal jalan pulang
Bawalah bakti mesra kepada tuhan kepada insan
Pada tetamu yang datang dan lupa jalan pulang
Usahlah derhaka kepada Tuhan kepada insan
Bila kita lihat manusia lupa tempat
Atau segera sesat puja darjat puja pangkat
Segera kita insaf kita ini punya kiblat
Segera kita ingat kita ini punya tekad
Bila kita lihat manusia terbiar larat
Hingga mesti merempat ke biru laut ke kuning darat
Harus kita lekas segera sedar pada tugas
Kita datang ini satu roh satu jasad
Bila pulang nanti bawalah bakti padat berkat
