Colin Firth: The Biography
June 11, 2014
I haven't finished reading this book yet but for the most part, am enjoying it. I'm a little skeptical about everything I am reading though..........because of some geography facts.........I don't know the exact location of the five acres where Meg Tilly's Canadian log cabin was.........you know the one in the cold remote BC wilderness........but I do know that it was somewhere around the city of Maple Ridge, which is less than an hour from the city of Vancouver, BC. And while five acres of treed property in this area could be rustic.......it would not be as dire as written about in the book. Maple Ridge is a city with subdivisions and malls.......yes even electricity & television sets! Colin Firth, in fact, tried to get involved with the Vancouver theater system during his time in Canada - something that would have been a bit difficult if he lived in such a remote area as indicated in the book. In addition, I would like to report that the climate is not frigid.......it is more rainy than anything - the year round weather is very similar to Seattle, Washington, USA, which is only about 2 1/2 hours due south. Last I checked, Seattle was not a frozen wasteland. Oh, and the next stop due north would most certainly NOT be the Arctic Cir

Muhammad: Riwayat Hidup Berdasarkan Sumber Terawal
February 9, 2016
Dear future me:
If you are told by someone that Muhammad was a peaceful man, consult this review or book immediately. Of course, you should remember that there were many instances when Muhammad's acts impressed you and made you think twice about him. In case you have forgotten the instances, remember when he wept while embracing a child of his dead companion, who had recently died? Also remember his patience and nonviolence while he was in Mecca and was vulnerable. Remember the restraint he showed at times while being mocked and satirized. Do not forget how he freed some enslaved people and do not forget the mercy he showed towards some of his bitter rivals, after he had conquered Mecca. Those rivals included Hind, a woman who was a stern critic of Islam and who had eaten the liver of a dead companion of Muhammad.
However, don't forget to remember the acts of barbarity committed by him: the exiles of Jews, followed by the massacre of all the men of an entire tribe named the Banu Qurayza; the way he and his companions divided up the women between them, as if they were mere objects; the words he had spoken in favor of military actions against nonbelievers; his insatiable thirst for wives; his even greater insa
