The JSPrice Perception

Protests in Palestine over the film "Innocence of Muslims" (Image: The Guardian) It has been another bizarre week where I have drawn to a conclusion that the world has gone mad. As the Olympic and Paralympic Games finished almost a month ago, our positive mood about life has turned to negative while societies and cultures which came together in harmony during London 2012 have now been detached. Unfortunately, Olympic fever is a thing of a past and the "legacy" and "inspire a nation" is now forgotten. What went wrong? I guess you can point fingers to the incompetents who like to alter others' interests for the fun of it imposing negative reactions. In America for example, a series of filmmakers have created this film courtesy of Media for Christ, " Innocence of Muslims ", an Arabic language dubbed 13.51 minute trailer which represents Prophet Muhammad as a " thuggish womaniser ", according to The Daily Telegraph .

The relationship between the media and the British royal family has taken a fresh turn for the worst in recent days. As soon as we thought we moved on from The Sun and Prince Harry fiasco a few weeks ago, there has barely been reason to suggest the media would stop there.

Not only does Britain have something to celebrate, but the whole world can share their sentiments. The Olympic and Paralympic Games has been a superb spectacle for the globe to see and pride is at its highest pulsating rate. I have personally never seen Britain so happy, hashtagging on Twitter and talking in the streets of their delight over the success of their home-grown athletes and the overall hosting of the Games. I have written before that the Olympics has inspired many generations, exceeding Lord Sebastian Coe's expectations of it inspiring just "a generation". Now, as the Paralympics have concluded for another four years, we wonder to ourselves how much influence and effect this particular Games will have on people and to the future of funding sport for those with disabilities.
