The Word GOD

There seems to be a lot of unnecessary happenings going on in Malaysia that can be regarded as stupid yet disturbing. I guess there are just some people who have nothing else better to do... As civilized as we claim we are nowadays, there are still those barbaric people amongst us - primitives???

Now, with a total of 6 (some may say 8?) churches in Malaysia attacked (the pic above is the pic of burnt Metro Tabernacle Church in KL), people are getting emotional and some may be scared. I am amazed that we still have this sort of behaviour in our country. Where is the 1-Malaysia concept now? Do they know that we are living in a multi-racial, multi-religion country? I thought that people should be sensitive enough to acknowledge and respect other's religion.

ALLAH is a standard Arabic word for GOD or The Creator. It has been used even by the pagan Meccans to refer to the superior creator. Therefore, the word ALLAH does not belong to any religion. It is widely used by all Arabic speakers, including Jews and Christians. It is not associated to any religion and it is ridiculous for any religion to claim that the word ALLAH can only be used by their religion. Only UNEDUCATED people will claim such a thing!!!

And what's with the government trying to make an appeal on the court's decision? I think that the Government should represent the whole nation instead of a particular religious segment. I just don't understand why can't they be professional and separate their own personal view to the decision that they make for the country. I guess that we have a lot to learn on how to run a country...

Attacking churches is just an act of desperation from the weak and it is so childish too. What do they gain if they attack the churches? The judgement made by the court will not change, for goodness sake!!! 'Barking' at the wrong 'tree' will not help, right? Gosh, some people just do not have brains in their heads, I guess... I admit it that I am very angry when it comes to this matter as it is something that may cause unnecessary religious tensions in the country. Why do we need to devote our time and effort on something unnecessary like this as compared to a more productive issue like the high illiteracy rate among the children at the rural and village areas? Like I've said before and would like to stress again, only people with no brains in their skulls who will dwell upon this issue - so, let's just move on and focus our energy on something fruitful for the society and country.

Till my next post, peace to the models and mortals out there!!!
