Right, its law. I'm not disputing that. I'm also not going to
argue about Muslim beliefs (whether its the 72 virgins myth or
not). If you mean "grow up" to learn that pieces of papers
are more important than human lives, then I prefer to stay a
'child' (or so you imply). It simple makes one no better
than LKY using libel suits to silence opposition. The sentence
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion" is thrown around so
much, yet never practiced much. Now lets not base this on the LKY
context when political power is at stake. In this context, when a
Muslim sues a couple (incurring tens of thousands of dollars in
legal fees as well as stress, ruining their lives), it is because
he feels offended by Jack Chick's (who heads that publication)
opinion. If its just that, an opinion, and if that Muslim
really feels that his religion is the one true religion, what
impact does that piece of paper make?
Christian KKK? Christianity 101: Love thy neighbour as thyself.
If I dont expect people to sue me over a piece of paper, I dont do
it to other people. If I expect people not to riot over some
pictures I draw, I dont do it myself. Hitler professed to be
christian, yet gassed 6 million jews. Do you think he was really
christian? Anyway, Hitler and the KKK are in the same boat. Both
professing to be the master race. An ideology that stems from
darwinism and has roots in the occult. After all, the full title to
the Origin of Species is "The Preservation of
favoured races in the struggle for
life". Dont try to lump them under christianity.
I understand Muslims in SG are educated and
open-minded. So I assume you disapprove of the violent
reaction to Van Gogh's Submission (do you deny the
portrayal of women in there?) or to the danish cartoons? Well, in
SG's context, the fundamental reaction is still the same. Someone
criticised us, they will pay. Am I not right?
Why does Islam come under fire? Well, its not simply a religion.
Its an entire way of life (based on 7th Century Arabia). Do you
deny that? And of course, some fundamentalist practices have been
abandoned to be practical in modern society, but not all. If its
simply a personal thing, a matter of
personal faith, then it wouldnt pose a
problem. Why do people associate Muslim with Malay in SG? Can you
respond to this?
(1) Then go ahead and remain as a child... In the adult world,
you words holds value and you are accountable for them... you lie,
you must taken to task for spreading those lies... and by words, it
means written words too...
(2) Good, now replace Christianity with muslims and replace KKK
with Al_quedah...
(3) LOL... that's why I tell people, if you want to learn about
Islam, learn from proper sources, the local mosque or a proper
teacher... not youtube or some fuddy duddy anti-islam mongering
website...
(4) Simple... Most muslims are Malay... what more do you want?
There are a minority of Malay that are Jewish so what is your
point?
