Me : Where are u?
Him : Starbucks. Having some nice ice blended to get my minds off work.
Me: Lol!! Why Starbucks? Boycott US and Jewish joms.
Him : OMG!! That is so nonsense. If u want to boycott them, stop doing works at ur office la then. Don't u know u should also boycott Intel and IBM then? What crap again in boycotting all these stuffs. I don't beleive in it.
Grr.. What is that? He's a Muslim, u know. Of course, in the case of Intel, 100% of the computers in my lab are using Intel Pentium processor. That is what we can't avoid. About the things that we can easily avoid, what harm can we make not to have them? After all, it's the smallest, tiniest help we can do to help our sahabat in Gaza.Remember when the Dutch insulted our Prophet. My Dad banned most of their products from entering our home. No more Unilever, we changed from Sunsilk to Himalaya, from Lux to Shokubutsu. No more foods from Danone, no chipsmore, no Tiger.. nothing that we loved before. It's that drastic until we changed from Lady's Choice mayo to Kimpball. And we managed to maintain these things until now. It's a small contribution from my family. And, I bet there are many families who have come to this stage also. Who said it's crap? Who said it's nonsense?
I believe it's possible for us to boycott these products. If not all, at least some. My Dad is 51 this year. More than half of his lifetime, he was using Lux and he was not fond of changing to some new stuff. In fact, he really hated changes. But, owh well he did. And he's not the most religious person or anything. He's a normal ppl just like me. I dont believe that u have to be a saint to do this. Okayy.. Starting to get emotional. Hehe.. Sorry. Well, I better stop here.
So, here goes the list of products found out to contribute money to Israel:
- Coca Cola, Perrier, Nestle, Sprite, Fanta
, Sunkist - Danone, KitKat, Maggi
- Huggies, Kotex, Kleenex
- Starbucks, McDonalds
- Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lancome, Garnier, Loreal, Revlon, Maybelline, Johnson n Johnson
- Disney, Timberland, GAP, Marks & Spencer, Clavin Klein, Boss, Giorgio Armani, Wonderbra, DKNY
- Jo Malone, Libbys, Tchibp, Sanex, Vittel, River Island, Nokia, Kiwi, AmbiPur
- The Sun, Time, 20th Century Fox, National Geographic

Yeah..undeniably ikeen to be doing that, we don't hv to b saint. it's just a tiny portion of what we cud do to help our muslim brothers & sisters out there. Let's do our part - remember the 'little bird' story. Read: http://muhtarsuhaili.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/bagaimanakah-syariat-islam-menjelang-2020/
Btw, this hadith below is enuf to make me ponder upon my contributions..
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w:
‘Sesiapa yang tidak mengambil tahu tentang keadaan orang islam sesamanya,maka dia bukanlah sebahagian dari kami…’
