Calling It a Day
God: "Whew, I just created a 24-hour period of alternating light and darkness on earth."
Angel: "Oh yeah? What are you going to do now?"
God: "I think I'll call it a day."

Welcome to My Queerific World
Greetings!
My Queerific World - A blog featuring the interests, desires, thoughts, rantings, deliberations, ideas, opinions, philosophies and reflections of a cynical (yet idealist) queer Muslim.
A jaded and "recovering" social justice activist, I have learned that humor, laughter and comedy are often the key to keeping sane in our crazy world.
I hope you will laugh, cringe, cry, be amused, share your thoughts, be hopeful and celebrate life. Let this be the place where you come to take a quick break from your hectic life.
In our day-to-day lives it is easy to forget the beauty in this world - our queerific world. Read, enjoy and reflect. Once you leave, my wish for you is that your world will be a little less insane and a little more hopeful and happy.
Enjoy!

The Beauty of the World & Many Tangles of Life
"The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder."
-Virginia Woolf
"So many tangles in life are ultimately hopeless that we have no appropriate sword other than laughter."
- Gordon W. Allport

Laughter is the Best Medicine
Commentary on laughter by Abu 'Uthman 'Amr ibn Bahr al-Jahiz (born in Basra, Iraq in 776 CE) - a renowned writer of Arabic prose and master of the adab style of literature.
Now, it is my contention that crying is beneficial and good for the constitution, as long as it is not inappropriate, out of place or excessive. It is a mark of gentleness and remote from cruelty. It may be considered a kind of redemption and akin to the intensity of feeling we experience towards those whom we love. It is one of the things that brings people closer together and by which those who live in fear seek mercy…
If such is the case with tears, what do you think about laughter, where the laugher experiences such boundless pleasure that he quite forgets why he is laughing? If laughter was something offensive on the part of the laugher or of its cause, why should a flower, a pretty dress, jewellery or a fine house be said to be ‘as if laughing’?
The Word of God says, ‘He it is who maketh laugh and cry. He it is who giveth life and death.’ [Quran, 53:33-34] thus has the Lord linked laughter with life and coupled tears with death. He does not ascribe unto Himself that which is repugnant or bestow imperfection on His creation. How can laughter fail to play a major part in human happiness and physical well-being when it is something in the basic fabric of temperament and character?
Laughter is the first fine thing to appear in an infant. It delights the child’s soul, puts flesh on his ribs and increases the blood supply, which is the cause of happiness and the substance of good health.
