		<description>With the way things are going, it may already be a little too late. Playing the 'Islamic card' began with Mahathir but the good doctor was pretty good at balancing this card on its edge, neither dismissing it and therefore giving Islamist champions fodder to roast him, nor going the whole hog (oops, am I being insensitive here?) to allow theocracy to peep it's holy head. But unfortunately, his successor is no doctor and having no real intellectual ability to follow on the footsteps of his much more brilliant predecessor, has chosen to introduce 'Islam Hadhari.'

With Malays making up just 60% of the population, Islamists have already begun to make a mockery of our Constitution, giving the Syariah Court a status it does not deserve and forcing upon non-Muslims actions that are at heart unIslamic. By 2050, a mere 43 years away, Malays will make up 80% of the population. By then, through sheer force of numbers, Malays will change the Constitution and proudly make this an Islamic State that no-one will have any right to question anymore. Give this country another 43 years of playing the Islamic card, I think we are staring at our own Pakistan in our country. Non-Malays are already actively working out ways to re-locate. Talk to the average non-Malay on the street and broadly speaking there are those who have resigned themselves to living out their fate and that of their children's in this country. Then, there are those who do love this country of their birth but have akcnowledged that with the way things are going, their children and their children's children should be given the option to re-locate. That was what our forefathers did anyway - when circumstances created the need and forced the hand to migrate. That is a given with non-Malays. What will be absolutely interesting though is to see how our Malay brethren (the majority of whom are decent people and Muslims we can share a meal with anytime) prepare themselves for our own little Pakistan where you never know when you will be blown to smithereens. Come to think of it, this 'you never know...' is also happening in places where the Islamist abounds...so, time to go, the clock is ticking, tick-tock,tick-tock...</description>

		<description>well, looking at how this Islamization is progressing, there is no guarantee that our next generation will be living in a total Islamic state. any new leader will come out again in the future to fully declare it and may command that the whole country be fully controlled by Islamic laws.

therefore, we should plan for the worst. it is time to prepare ourselves. if there are any chances to leave the future Pakistan or Iraq, we have to work hard to open the road before it is too late. for freedom sake, for your next generations sake, for your children's sake, for your race, for your religion, for your clan, whatever it is that is not protected by the new laws of the land.</description>

		<description>Heyyyy!  Why are you knocking that?  If people can get freebies, they are smart.  Get money for nothing!  Thats basically the bumi policy concept what?

Its to create a middleman class with no skills.  Who is always dependent on handouts.  I dont think its the Islamic way though!</description>

		<description>Are we a successful nation? That is more important than whether we are Islamic or not. Thus far we have been successful for the last 40 odd years. But this quest for Islamic state worries me cos that seems to be the only goal, houlier than thou.An really there is no Islamic state that is a model of success. Malaysian politicians from the ruling party are taking the country towards a dangerous path since 1998 and more so since Pak Lah became PM. 

Malaysia is a successful secular state with a multi ethnic people. We should keep it that way with Islam as religion of the state for the next 50 years. Respect the true meaning of the constitution, not the self interpretation as and when needed. If not Sabah and Sarawak have a say going forward cos they are partners not merely states.

Sorry unless someone can show me an Islamic state that is successful and no need for a multi ethnic one, I'm sceptic about it. Prefer the model that has made us successful thus far!!!!</description>

		<description>Najib is merely stating the obvious, the reality. 

"Secular", "Islamic". "religious" etc etc are merely playing with words, symantics. Argue all you want but the reality is all there for all to see.

We have been walking down the road towards becoming a totally Islamic country. It is only about the speed, sometimes it is faster, sometimes slower. 

Just merely 30 years ago, the Malays were dressing much, much more differently. So were their lifestyle, thinking and speech.

But after Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah and radical and conservative Islam took strong roots, we have changed and followed them.

Call it whatever you will but the reality is that the Islamic way of life is becoming more invasive, intrusive and prevalent in our daily lives. Even the secular courts now shy away from any case that has been given some "Islamic" flavour, and they quickly bow to the Syariah. Government policies and administration is now more religiously dictated. The education process has taken a new direction. So has dressing and behaviour in general. What is there more to say?

But the sad thing is that these trends seems to be irreversible. Once given or put in place, it is difficult to change the trend or to take away. Just like NEP.

Who now dares go against the mullahs even if they are wrong?

So it is likely that full Islamisation will be in place in the next 50 years.</description>
