Today is kalimah Allah, tomorrow is GAY RIGHTS and the
next day GAY MUSLIMS can have their own mosque like GAY CHRISTIANS in Western
Countries, this doesnt make any sense. The way our country going in
liberalising and allowing things are on the wrong path.
Even though it sound a bit ridiculuous, but this sort of stuff does happen in
the west. Especially the latest whereby man can marry another man, and have a
marriage certificate. And this sort of stuff starts from somewhere or issue
like liberalising kalimah Allah to be use by all religion.
As a one of the leader that have their own supporters like Anwar Ibrahim, he
should have other better things to do rather than playing around with theologies
and translations such as fulfilling his promises like "Merakyatkan Ekonomi
Negeri Selangor" which have shown nothing significant until this very
moment.
The point or angle I would like to bring across here is
that is not about Malaysian Muslims being intolerant not allowing the Allah
word to used by all religion or gay rights but the problem making involve the
technicality aspects which is the civil courts in dictating or mendling with
standard and spiritual aspect of each religion. Actually at the end might make
the Christians who requested this shooting their own foot. Let me tell you all
why:
1. The issue argued was only on the translation which God/Tuhan in Arab means Allah which is more on technicality. Ok, now
what if 1 day, a Christian kid asked his mother, “Why our Allah and my Muslim
buddy Allah different but they got same name?” Does it sound a bit
confusing/tricky here? This does not include yet other religion like Hindu or
Buddha, what if they choose to go to court and request to use the word Allah
which means Tuhan and translate all
their scriptures and books to Malay/Arab? So does it make any sense here? How
many Allah going to be?
2. We have seen in the west what happened when technicality/translation were
brought in to justify some gays the rights to be part of Christianity and
having their own churches. For more than 2000 years since the early days of
Christianity, one of their primary doctrins that gay hood are totally
prohibited, not just that, the Bible also indirectly prohibited it through the
story of Sodom and Gomorrah (correct me here). So somewhere in 2001/2002
somewhere in US, the court has approved the same sex marriage and they have the
right to be a fellow Christians and at the same time can still continue their
acts. Not just that, even porn stars also can have their own churches. For 2000
years, Christian, whether it is Catholic/Protestant or whatever have remain
solid to this prohibition of gay acts or any morale misconduct doctrin, but
they end up those central core doctrin being tested/challenged due to 1 simple
technical aspect. The sentence is "Jesus sacrifice for the love of all
mankind". And in the court the word "all mankind" does includes
gay guys and porn stars and whatever. I’ve learn this issue from a Philipine
friend of mine which is a Chatolic Pastor at his hometown which having a hard
time accepting the Christian gays or churches in their fold. It is total
nightmare for him. What can he do or even Vatican do? The court says so. And I’ve
even gave him a straight question "Who’s the boss now? Is it the Vatican
or the US Justice?" Which silenced him and after that I seek his
forgiveness not intending to joke about it.
3. I have no intent to mock or humiliate the Malaysian Christians, I do have a lot
of Christian buddies and I do respect them all and what they believe in. But I’ve
seen the issues they had in the west, it is a total nightmare and confusing.
The primary problems here letting human courts making the decision in terms of
each religion theologies and standards from the technical aspect point of view.
The best here is start to limit the jurisdiction of the human court just to
individual cases not overall if it comes to religion. If this stuff can happen
to Islam in this country what makes other technical issue don’t happen to other
religion like Christian, Hindu, Buddha or others?
Instead of opposing the utilization of kalimah Allah, we
should go to the source of the problem which is the court involvement in
meddling or setting the each religion theologies, standards or even
translation. Its time for us to limit their powers to individual cases only.
If today this technical screw up happen to Islam today, what makes it won't
happen to other religion too? We have seen what happen in the west and we
should have learn something about it by now. As I said earlier, today is
Kalimah Allah, tomorrow is GAY RIGHTS and the next day GAY MUSLIMS can have
their own mosque like GAY CHRISTIANS in Western Countries, this doesnt make any
sense.
