MONEY is greater then GOD

Besides heavy political dramas (i cant help it but to compare it during Mahathir Mohammad's era, whatever you might say about it), Malaysia is becoming another drama scene of religious silver screen.


There had been quite a significant religious-based drama (actually both in the real world and on TV as i noticed many Malay dramas about religion and many actresses now donning head scarves portraying a Muslim women in hijab, to the extend that I'm rather confuse whether they'd donned it for good or just for acting) ever since the premier after Mahathir -- Abdullah Badawi with Islam Hadhari -- which of course is way down the drain and definitely down residing at the bed of the Pacific Ocean already.


The recent hullas was about the 12 Malay men and women being apprehended at the Harapan Komuniti (Community Hope) dinner of the Damansara Utama Methodist Church in Petaling Jaya. The raid which follows with incongruous actions by the Selangor Mentri Besar, Khalid Bin something (Im not bothered to remember his bapak's name), whom after the incident, announced his apology to the Christians for the raid by the Selangor authority JAIS and would promise a report shall be in order to rectify the matter (in other words he's trying to convinced the Christians not to be angry and he will be getting a complete report on WHY Jais did that...).


That, of course ensued an automatic reaction and a protest from some Islamic-based NGOs to stage resentment toward his cowardliness by saying sorry and in a way allowing the 12 persons do what they do -- of course this Khalid had to do that in order to still stay at the seat, and to kow-tow to his party Pakatan Rakyat (PKR), which consists of all races and religion although he is really stupid. He can just make things neutral by saying an investigation will be carried out before opening his dirty mouth.
Now, he got to wash his mouth thoroughly because the protesters brought along a toilet bowl with ribbon in front of the office compound. I bet they want him to know that his mouth smells foul as the toilet bowl.


There a many Islamic realisation coming to the shore for the past  decade.
Muslim ladies and teenager are seen more tudung-clad compared to during my teenage time, where we're more happy to don mini skirts and have our hair done to whatever the 80s style was.


As a personal opinion, I surely think it is good. I mean I had been lambasted for pointing out that not all tudung- clad ladies are well-behaved and pious. Some of the remarks I've gotten was ' well at least we covers our head'.....yeah, yeah....
Yeah. Of course, I wont be hanged by my hair while having river of fire under me and being punished in hell for my sins of not covering my head...BUT, at least I don't make fun of the Muslim's dress code. I don't cover my head and leave open my chest to show off my pendant, or cover my head but wearing leggings and bareback, or WORST still, wearing baby-doll gowns on top of some tight long sleeves inner, which shows so much of my bodily figure.
I mean, do YOU as a tudung-clad person, really wear your hijab as HOW you should be wearing? Loose, covers your neck right to the chin, and cover your boobies, and not forgetting wearing your head covers normally without the hump at the back of your head the Syrian style ?


Anyway, I don't want to say much about the way young and middle aged Muslim women donning  what they don the recently years. Up to them. I don't give a toot.


So, coming back to Islamic realisation among the Muslims in Malaysia, which has it's good side too -- there are also some quarters who'd politicise the matter. The so-called non-halal beer becoming  halal again, coffees with traces of pig gelatin, and now not halal, which I'm quite skeptical on the claim, to the crossed-like pictures among the masjid on praying mats to the extend of  buns having crossed-like are being watched diligently.


The up rise awareness of all Islamic things probably due to too many  Muslims converting to Christianity. One minister stated that a faith crime act be enacted as  apostasy is spreading at a rapid scale.


To me those Muslims who had accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, let them be...maybe some of you might think that by doing so, we are actually allowing sin of apostasy be free to roam among the Muslims, BUT let's face the truth. When one heart desire, they'll only go for what they desire. 
Consultation?
In my opinion, it will only be to no avail.
Once they had willing to take money and in return sell their faith -- honestly, these are morons of MORONS.
These people should be left unattended. What would a consultation produce when deep in their heart nothing is more greater than money.

No doubt as another Muslim, we, responsible people need to act and help bring these people to the right path. However, if confirmed that they disavowed Islam, then, there ain't anything much we can do -- unless the country is practising hudud law.

There are such people that claim they are Muslims, but in actual fact they've already rejected some of the basic Islamic foundation and bow to others, and these group who will doing things against the religion are called musyrik.

The fact is, apostasy in Islam in Malaysia has been taking its ground but were made widely known past five years. It is something that, as another follower, we'd be feeling remorse of their deed, yet have to accept the fact that, it has been going on for centuries...and there's nothing much we can do about it.

The raid clip

Lina Joy is joyful

Few days ago news about a raid carried out by the Selangor Islamic Department JAIS at a gathering organised by one church in Petaling Jaya created quite a controversy.
Of course, JAIS as an Islamic body has no right to enter or barred any Christians from performing any activities according to their faith. Rather their action was triggered when they received a report indicating that there was about a hundred or so Muslim people joining in the church late afternoon activities.

The action, which can trigger some religious-related bitterness is however being dealt carefully in my opinion. It is not being overblown by the media and my guess was it must be an instruction from the top.
On the other hand, the Selangor Mentri Besar, Khalid Ibrahim, who will be answerable to this matter, and who claimed that it was mere multi-racial gathering, is also appealing to the media not to 'discuss' the issue before getting any facts on the raid. He got two party to answer to ; 1- the religious head of the state; 2 - his political party PKR which champion multi racial and just for every Malaysian.

Asked me, I'd say, why,  he must claim it was a multi racial dinner in order not to bruised his other party non-Muslim members -- his hands are being tied and mouth being controlled.

The issue which was not being covered much (perhaps to respect other religion and in the spirit of 1 Malaysia), must be an ultimate expose of Muslim people going into a church and joining in their activities, which was not new but not reported.

The specification of the activities was not yet known but involves singing among others.

According to the lady who was apprehended, when interviewed, claimed she had been attending such gathering following a suggestion from another Muslim friend in order to earn an allowance. She who is also a single mother said she did so due to financial difficulties and after failing to get monetary assistance from an Islamic department when approached.

She also said that she had even been assisted financially to start her own small business. When asked about her religious stand, she claimed she is still a Muslim.

Well, if you ask me, I'd say, this lady, although not knowing whether or not she had denounce Islam, her action itself is a reflection of her 'akidah' or faith in Islam. It's a show of her faith is being compromised. What more when the activities was carried out during a fasting month and they are there near to the breaking of fast -- thus making us wonder do they fast or otherwise...

Organisations financed by Christian bodies assisting individuals, or a group are not new. They are known to help those homeless, or drug addicts with temporary shelter and food. I have also heard about Muslim people mainly those who worked in factory with low paying salary or universities students having financial problems, being 'helped' financially by issuance of monthly allowance. In return they must attend the church activities, which initially does not look religious but slowly it'll turn to be one.
The only thing most people don't know is, this issue had been going on for a very long time, but this particular news got into the limelight because now these Malays turning Christians are more bold in their appearance which answered the increasing numbers of people denouncing Islam each year.

On church giving out monetary reward to single mothers and those in needs -- I honestly don't have any comment. To say it is not good -- it is good. Just like the woman interviewed said; if she can't do any work and get money, is it okay if she had just sell her body? In other words, she's saying that; it's  and okay for her to join in a Christian congregations rather then selling her body for money...

My word for her -- is it that hard to find any decent work or it is just so easy to sell and buy religion? Is so hard to find decent work that no other thing can make do but being a prostitutes?
Doesn't she have family to ask help from?
Doesn't she have any other means or ways of finding a proper job with decent pay but instead selling her faith for  a couple of hundred ringgit?

If  seven out of 10 Muslim lives along this kind of thought, I'm guessing the percentage of Christians Malays will see a significant increase in years to come.

Perhaps in Christianity to feel the glory of God so easy. It can be bought or paid for.
So, anyone (in this case non-Christians) having monetary problems shouldn't look far.  Just pay a visit to any church nearby, and a remuneration will be in order.

Duuhhhhh....
