Al-Kitab issue?

Big hoohah lately about the bibles that are printed in Bahasa Malaysia.. decided to write a little bout it after i read what a Perkasa rep said..

Apparently, printing bibles in BM is making an "unreasonable demand".. he said "they are not the majority of the country"...."we have not brought up the issues of our rights"

hmmmm.... sounds like a shallow man in a heat of anger.. no maturity to voice out dissatisfaction..i really do not understand what the issue here is.. if the Al-Quran can be printed in so many different languages including English, why cant the bible? and, why dont the non-Arab-translation Al-Quran need to b stamped for Muslims only?

Putting myself in some of their shoes, mayb its cos "they" are afraid that Muslims in Malaysia will start believing in Jesus.. or mayb, "they" are not confident that Muslims in Malaysia are really grounded in their faith (now whose blame is that to be).. or mayb on the other extreme, Muslims who touch the bible will go to hell.. i doubt that one though..

I have a translated Al-Quran in my room.. does that makes me a less devoted Christian? NO! i also have it as an app in my ipod! but i still believe in Jesus wholeheartedly.. My question is this.. how can one be more sure of their faith when they are not given the chance to read up on other people's religion? My history teacher for example, she teaches us about Islam civilization and sometimes bring the bible into comparisons.. Though i do not agree with her view, i still respect her for not having that "myopic" thinking many do..

To hit on some petty issues, bibles in BM.. Isn't it in tangent with our government's move to apply Bahasa Malaysia as the bahasa kebangsaan? They should be, "Bagus! Bacalah buku agama anda dalam bahasa kebangsaan". The streamers are still up in my school -Bulan Bahasa Kebangsaan- 1 Bahasa 1 Bangsa 1 Negara.. Apparently it's a NO NO in some cases. a conspiracy campaign we are spreading in school! wasted the "perhimpunan khas" the school had to hold..

Some ringing thoughts in my head about Datuk Ibrahim Ali's words.."they are not the majority of the country" and "we have not brought up the issues of our rights".. I'm hurt.. firstly, whether or not i'm a "majority" in the country, I STILL BELONG TO MALAYSIA! i am as Malaysian as any other Malaysian here! and i love MY COUNTRY as much as any other citizens do, or mayb more. To know this for a fact, u just have to noe me in person. Is it so hard to comprehend that i as Malaysian though a Chinese have every intention to make Malaysia a better place and to contribute in the growth of Malaysia?? Common.. i deserve some benefit of doubt here.. and about "NOT" bringing up "OUR RIGHTS", i out rightly say its a lie! dont believe me? go buy any BM newspaper tomorrow.. bet u ur inheritance u will find at least 1 article that talks about "Malay Supremacy".. (i always say that i dont gamble/bet, but this is no gamble.. i'm sure i'm right, and so its actually earning money :) )

was reading on Perjanjian Hudaibiah in my reference book.. in that Perjanjian, there was an issue on fairness towards the Quraisy tribe and the Muslims.. and it states in the reference book, "para sahabat nabi tdk bersetuju dgn isi perjanjian ini. Mereka menganggap bahawa Rasululah SAW terlalu lembut dan bertolak ansur sehingga merugikan org Islam. Sebenarnya tindakan Rasulullah SAW ini ternyata mempunyai pandangan jauh. Perjanjian ini bererti org Musyrikin Makkah secara tdk langsung mengiktiraf kerajaan Islam Madinah. Hal ini demikian kerana inilah kali pertama pembesar-pembesar Makkah sanggup mengadakan rundingan".. Well, just wanna tell u guys out there.. The same applies to Christianity in Malaysia. It may seem unfair to the Christians in area of evangelism and "freedom of worship". but in the same case as Prophet Muhammad, they "secara tidak langsung mengiktiraf KERAJAAN YESUS!" hahahahaha.. oooops.. did i just turn one of the biased history move in our syllabus to back fire? ouch..

to all my friends out there who are open minded, u have my "angkat topi".. read up other ppl's believes if u really BELIEVE in ur holy book. compare them and make ur faith stronger if it works for u. Dont just shut everything out. In that way, u dont earn the right to say that u believe ur religion is the right one..
