Najib had made a big mistake in the “Allxh” controversy. Since Najib himself was not really having a high score on the degree of religiosity, he could have taken a much tougher stance on 7 Jan 2010 about the illegal assemblies which were called up by several Islamic organizations to be held in the National Mosque at Kuala Lumpur on 8 Jan 2010 after prayers session for doing demonstration and protest against the Catholic Church over the “Allxh” usage issue.

Why must the Prime Minister Najib and the Home Minister Hishammuddin attempt to soften their political stance when confronting an interested group of Islamic Faith which tried to create troubles to disrupt the peaceful and tranquil situation of Kuala Lumpur? Would the chaotic and anarchical situation which might possibly be caused by the emotional demonstration and irrational protest bring any good thing or personal gain to Najib and Hishammuddin? Do Najib and Hishammuddin forget about the fact that they are still the power-that-be till todate? By saying on 7 Jan 2010 that the Government had no control over the people who tried to gather in the mosques for doing demonstration and protest, Najib had indeed postured himself as a weak and useless national head of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. What was it so good for Najib and Hishammuddin to implicitly suggest their quiet consent for the starting of an anarchical situation with violent attack on the innocent by some irresponsible persons?

And today Hishammuddin posed an intimidation to the public that he would not hesitate to invoke the draconian ISA to arrest those so-called trouble-makers who might want to try holding illegal assembly for doing demonstration and protest against the other religious group. Why must Hishammuddin come out with the lousy idea of invoking the draconian law to arrest some alleged law-breakers without going through a fair trial in court when there is availability of other legitimate law permitting him to detain the alleged offenders in accordance with the due process of law? Hishammuddin, like his late father Tun Hussein Onn, is a trained legal practitioner. He must learn how to honour the due process of law and not to irrationally consider invoking the draconian ISA to arrest the civilians since the ISA was a law made specifically for serving the purpose of anti-terrorism and preservation of national security! The ISA should be taken as a last resort that is to be invoked only when there is genuine threat being posed by some armed terrorists whom have posed obvious threat to the national security of Malaysia. The ISA should not be abused by the Home Minister for detaining the Opposition politicians due to the self-interested intent of the power-that-be for curbing the dissenting voices or dissident voices!

In the Old Testament of the Holy Bible, there is a verse saying that God is the flare of revolving consuming fire! Just try to recall our memory on the 911 attack on New York’s World Trade Centre in September 2001 and note that the towering inferno was the reflection of the wrath of God.

To most Christians, it should be the time now for us to say prayers in order to ask God to have mercy on all Malaysians. We don’t want Malaysia to be turned into a war zone like Western Bank of Jordan River or Beirut of Lebanon. Perhaps we should pray hard to ask God to intercede and deliver us to the realm of eternal Peace and Harmony. Perhaps it is also time now for us to try to understand why all these while DAP has insisted on a political stance of Secular State for all Malaysians. A belief in the Secular State seems like the only viable way which will lead all Malaysians, regardless of their religious backgrounds, to the smooth path for setting aside our self-righteousness and anger and come together for the common good not only of ourselves, but of all mankind.

Please read the following poem and tell ourselves assertively that we will never allow the sorry state of “GOD eats GOD” be happened in the peaceful land which we live on, that is, Malaysia — a nation we love.

GOD eats GOD
MY GOD IS BETTER THAN YOUR GOD
MY GOD IS BIGGER THAN YOUR GOD

the bullet has no eye for beauty
it does its duty
the bomb has no respect for art
it does its part

from London to Dresden
from Saigon to Tehran
MY GOD IS BETTER THAN YOUR GOD
from the Vatican to Jerusalem
from the Taliban to the Pentagon
MY GOD IS BIGGER THAN YOUR GOD

this ain’t about who’s right or wrong
so figure out whose side you’re on
this ain’t about who’s wrong or right
just pick a side and join the FIGHT!
MIGHT is RIGHT

if you don’t agree with me
you must be the enemy
if you don’t see what i see
you must be the enemy

GOD EATS GOD
from Belfast to Belgrade
GOD EATS GOD
from Beruit to Baghdad

MY GOD IS BETTER THAN YOUR GOD
MY GOD IS BIGGER THAN YOUR GOD

i have a dream
no being is supreme
i have a vision
a world without religion

every day i hope and pray
all these gods will go away

DOG eats DOGMA
from Kuta to Kenya
DOG eats DOGMA
from Mecca to Hiroshima

Perhaps this is a tough trying time for those Malaysians who really love God.

1 Pet 2:20-23 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” 23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.

Trusting God means being willing to suffer, even unjustly, when the greater good of honouring God is at stake.

Therefore, what is most appropriate thing for the Church members to do now is to pray hard to ask God to intercede so that the arson criminals can be detected and arrested and be convicted and punished by the relevant authority which has been appointed by God!

Mr gofortruth,
However, to have faith in God does not mean that one must follow the pacifism which was the attitude being adopted by the Christian Church during Nazi rule in the Germany. History proved that pacifism would not solve the basic problem of religious intolerance to a large extent but instead it encouraged more crimes like massive scale gas poisoning on the Jews by Nazi devils during World War II.

Therefore, we must also be careful enough not to indulge ourselves into pacifism even though it is also important for us to place high value on religious tolerance!

The typical religious doctrines proclaimed by the psedo-Islamic Malay Racists are as follow:
1) It is a big sin to allow non-muslims to use the name “Allxh” for the worship purpose of other branches of Abrahamic descendants’ Faiths, such as Judaism and Christianity.
2) It is a big sin for any two persons to commit the adultery of sodomy but it is not a sin for the Cabinet Ministers to commit fornication.
3) It is a big sin to buy British made imported goods but it is not a sin to covet from the national wealth through the twist-and-turn way of overstated transfer pricing in the contract sum of the national infrastructure projects, such as PKFZ projects and Bakun hydroelectric Dam projects.
4) It is a big sin for people like Lina Joy to abandone Islamic faith but it is not a sin for a muslim man to divorce his wife without showing mercy unto the helpless wife who has been divorced by her husband mercilessly!
