A Little Folk Tale

Dear ladies and fellas

I thought a new series here on my blog would be great, in said series I will share some folk-tales I know. Let`s start with this one, that my grand-father told me long ago:

Once upon a time some demons, who were fed up with their duties in hell, choose to flee the hell and escaped through a deep, dark cave into the human world. Once they reached the human world, they offered their services to a young and unexperienced prince. First the prince hesitated to recruit demons, but finally he gave in, mainly because he was desperate since an empire with an army, like nothing the world has seen before, was about to invade his little realm. But first the prince let the demons take an oath, so they will follow the law of god and the righteous kings, of the country, that was torn apart back then. The demons also should always protect said country and never ever raise a hand against any righteous ruler of said country. The demons agreed and took the oath. So the demons joined the ranks of the army of this little realm and they were succesful, the attempted invasion of the empire failed, which led to the fact that Mingrelia, the realm of this folk-tale was the only region in Georgia that never fell to the Persian Empire. Some people say, it were the Persians themselves, who spred the rumour about the demon-army of Mingrelia, to discredit the rule of the House of Dadiani. Other people say, that the Krubera cave, the deepest cave known to mankind, is the cave from which the demons escaped from hell and that the descendants of the demons live among us today, always ready to raise their swords against all enemies of Georgia.

My two-cents On The Current Events In Rakhine/Burma

Dear ladies and fellas

First things first: I am not an expert by any means on Asian countries, but I can sense sheer hypocrisy very well. That`s why I write this piece. Although the current events in Burma are quite complicated there are certain things, that make me feel unwell about the criticism of Aung San Suu Kyi and her goverment.

In my humble opinion it is quite ridiculous, when countries like Turkey or the Islamic Republic of Iran bash Burma for alleged human rights abuse or even a genocide. Countries like the Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey have a long record of human rights abuse and oppresed minorities as well. So they are not in a position to criticize somebody who fought peacefully for so long for basic human rights as Aung San Suu Kyi. But again, let`s be as blunt as purple haze: Countries like the Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey are engaged in human rights abuse and are keen on bashing non-muslim countries for alleged human rights abuse. Also countries like Turkey and the Islamic Republic love to use Muslim minorities as pawn sacrifice for their very own political gain. If they really would care about people like the Rohingya, they would take them in, bring them to safety on their own soil, in their own homes, like Israel did in 1948 with the expelled Jews from the Arab countries. But they don`t. Simply because they only care for their very own „Muslim brothers and sisters“, when they can use them as pawn sacrifice, as said earlier in this piece.

Also, I want to adress the useful idiots here, who are quick to condem and even demonize Aung San Suu Kyi and are even keen on stripping her from her Nobel proze for peace: Does anybody remember Yassir Arafat alias. Abu Amar?!? Well, unlike Aung San Suu Kyi, who has so far never called for physical violence against the Rohingya, Yassir Arafat actually engaged in terrorism against Jewish civilians after he won the Nobel prize. Notably in the first and second Intifada. But till this day nobody stripped Yassir Arafat from his Nobel prize.
