It's been a while since I post something new.
A few days ago our nation had been astounded by the arson of three churches around KL. It all started because some of the Muslims disagreed with the court's decision of allowing the non-Muslim to use Allah's name. Well, I'm not a Muslim scholar, but I do have knowledge about this religion since I, myself am a Muslim. From my opinion, the use of Allah's name for the purpose of mocking is entirely unacceptable. The use of Allah's name to name other God is also unacceptable. Reason for this is that some people might get confused about religions. If more than one religion use the name Allah to indicate their God, does this means that all religions worships the same God?
In the context of Islam, Allah is our only God. And it is stated in The Holy Quran:
"Say O Muhammad (pbuh): O disbeliever of Allah. I worship not that which you worship. Nor will you worship that which I worship. And I shall not worship that which you are worshiping. Nor will you worship that which I worship. To you be your religion and to me my religion."
[Al-Kafirun-109: 1-6]
This verse clearly states that Islam is not the same as any other religion. And other religion should not use the name Allah to indicate their God as it might cause some of the Muslims to go astray his or her religion.
However, I am very disappointed by those fools who set fire on the three churches around KL. This is act is unacceptable and was even close to the teaching of Islam. In the Islamic teaching, we Muslims must protect any worship houses of any religion if they are assaulted. And how could some foolish Muslims burn down churches? If they call themselves good Muslims, how could they not follow Allah's teaching? Islam teaches us to respect other religion. Violence are never the best way to solve any conflict. And I am very disappointed of those who burned down the churches. They do not represent us, Muslims in any way. By them doing such act, they are sending messages to the non-Muslims especially those in the Western countries that Islam is a religion who promotes violence. By them doing so, they are actually giving bad impression of Islam. How could you say that you love your religion if you're actually making other religions think that we are terrorist?
WHAT THE F**K?
Don't you guys have brains?
As civilized people, let us all respect each other and spread peace to the world. Violence has not, is not and never will be the way to solve any conflict.
That's all for now. Later...
