So much for “Land of the Free”
Its free for anyone else but Muslims, it seems.
Stepping into the foot prints of Daniel Pipes, Islamophobist and founder of anti-Islam and anti-Muslim forums such as Middle East Forum and Campus Watch, another pro-Israeli Islamophobist, David Yerushalmi, has established an anti-Islam group known with the acronym SANE: the Society of Americans for National Existence. The sole objective of the group is banishing Islam from the US by making “adherence to Islam” punishable by 20 years in prison.
Yeah, I am definitely not going to step my foot into Great Satan State [although I was born there and therefore that technically makes me a “citizen”] for a long time yet. At least not until Barack Obama is voted into power and becomes the next President of the United States. That monkey in the White House is responsible for all this fanaticism, hatred and Islamophobia towards Islam and Muslims.
you were born there?

Menj,
I think you should write a piece about the oppression of many non-Malays in this country as well. The “Christian evangelists” you dislike so much is but a minority. The rest of the non-Malays are being treated badly. Even the Muslims in the US don’t have to pay 10-15% more for one of the biggest purchases of their lives. Even the Muslim Saudis are allowed to buy a bulk of US ports without giving away 30% of it to white Americans.

Din or whoever that is with Din ,
I very much agree with Din that Menj should also be talking about the “oppression currently being forced upon the non Malays vis a vis non muslims in this country. Why only today in NST, there was a terrible terrible , most terrible religious oppression of religion done by the Muslims when the archbishop officiated a RM3.0 million Church of the Sacred Heart at Jalan Peel.The Muslims, with the killing machines in their hands, went on a bloody rampage at that place. There was human massacre there and it was an ugly site. I’m pretty sure Din was there to witness this terrible oppression when the Muslims were bludgeoning the poor Christians while they were peacefully having breakfast sales, jogathon, jumble sales as well as a fund raising dinner.
When the “Our Lady of Lourdes†RM Millions of dollars new church in Jalan Tunku Kelana, Klang completes by the end of this year, the new church which will boast its magnificent grandeur well equipped with state of the art gadgetries, posh construction, boarding schools and prominent location, Din can again shout of another oppression of religion by the Malay Muslims here in Malaysia as Din knows that the Malay Muslims here are barbaric because they are Muslims. After all, everyday, the media announces the burning of churches especially the big modern churches , the likes of St Francis in PJ, The Methodit churh , the famous Church of Fatima†in Brickfields and so many many other churches here in Malaysia. All these churches are now all burnt down to ashes by the Muslims who are throwing the Christians to the lions..
When Samy Vellu, in the STAR today, announced that housing estates should allocate land for Hindu temples as the reason for the thousands of existing temples built in this country is because there is no allocation for such land. Why even shopping malls , in the likes of Megamall should have temples annexed to the shopping centres but alas, this will never happen in this country because this country because the muslim majority here are very oppressive people.
Those poor Christians, Hindus and Buddhist, today, are all praying in hiding at places such as mountain caves, dense jungles, underground trenches as they fear persecution by the Muslim.All those reverends, Buddhist monks, Hindu priest are no longer visible in this country as most of them are either killed by the Muslims or exterminated. As Din described it out, just walk along any streets here in Malaysia, its like hell broke loose with Muslims killing those non Muslims like nobody’s business.
Seriously Din, just because we don’t agree with you people wanting to pry into our religious affairs, suddenly we are the oppressors. Have all the freewill to convert the Hindus and the Buddhist for all we care. Looking at the number of Indians who are now Christians ( for all the wrong reasons, maybe) , we have never stopped you so it is so very wrong for you to brand us as oppressive when we are just merely trying to protect our children and the sanctity of our religion. Open your eyes and see Bosnia, Sberenica, Palestine,Afghanistan, Singapore, US, Britain, Turkey if you want to see religious oppression on the muslims.

On another note Menj,
I saw today how Zainah Anwar, the liberal bitch, in the STAR, has injected her psychological indoctrination to the Malaysian public by potraying the evilness of Islam and yes, again hiding behind the cloak of “protecting†the religion.
Again, as usual, she has her ways into the public at large to talk about Islam, which,just like Astora Jabat, her knowledge on the religion swims on shallow waters without having her arguments being refuted or debated by Islamic scholars. She went along with the Muslims on Karen Armstrong’s viewpoints but somewhere along the line, she mindfully quoted examples that is highly refutable ,if not distorted. Notably located at the prime news section , on page 14 of the Stars today.Through a murmur from a Christian “friendâ€, she chided Islam by quoting an example of a Muslim person way of greeting Muslims and non Muslims giving the impression of how is the religion totally screwed even when it comes to the simplest things as a gesture of greeting.
Then she went on to quote instances where the inheritance laws in Islam can be put to trial and went further to talk about the Hanafi and Hambali’s school of thoughts on this issues. Then she did it again , when she concluded, at that juncture, that the public deeds that will test the place of Islam in the 21st century ignoring the fact that Islam determines the public deeds at all time in any century.
My discontent lies on the fact that her article was not subjected to any differing or adhering viewpoints by Islamic scholars who are knowledgeable or experts so as to authenticate her article before it is being made out to the public at large. A reminiscence of a classic case of blatant personal viewpoints made public by Astora Jabat which had consequently caused unnecessary confusion amongst the population.
Unless, it was deviously for an intended purpose, Allah Hu’Alam, her “where and how it went wrong, “ is only meant to conclude that the deeds adopted and outlined by Islam and practiced by the people today is grossly out of the current day’s context; maybe, her way of politely saying that the ummah should reinterpret, or perhaps to suit, the Holy Quran, the Sunnah and the Hadith in line with the day’s culture,the day’s thoughts and the expectations of the non believers.
Then hiding behind Armstrong’s ;
“any belief that makes you compassionate, kind and respectful is a good religionâ€., she simultaneously advocated the disputable doctrine of pluralism, differences and disputation but at the same time, in protecting her arguments and covering her moves, by praising the revolutionary rights given to women under Islam.
Finally, her clubbing her all time favourite sitting duck, the defenseless religious authority, was again put into the infamous limelight ,less the religious authorities side of the story on the raids made by the latter on two Indian restaurant and in spite of the Perils Mufti’s quoting “we don’t know what the real issue isâ€.
Conveniently, the article was naughtily place just beneath her article and I guess its just to prove that Islam is put to test by Deeds and not the other way around.

The malay equities is not more than 19% percent in this country.
You want to talk about opression ask The Stars not to advertise “proficiency in Mandarin or Chinese dialect is prefered”.
You people have controlled the principals many of products, softwares, intrnational books, equipments, computers. This are controlled by “badly treated” Non Malay who suffocate the so-called bumiputera traders.
If you dare, let see how many percentage of bumiputras in managerial post in the “badly treated non Malay” dominated company.
In the govt, the badly treated non Malay are asked to join military, police and even nowadays they have Skim Latihan Akademik IPTA (SLAI) which opens to “badly treated Non Malay” to continue even until they can have phD.
