NATIONALIST: THE EXTREMIST?

Salam.

This entry is dedicated to the mosque incident and the racial slur incident

Its happened that for the past few months I really don't have time to sit and ponder properly whatever happened around me and let alone write about it. Many things happened which i think if I have time, I will definitely commented. It is some sort of therapy for me to ventilate it this way as many things that happen around me are just overwhelmingly difficult to just let go and let it be. Maybe nothing will happen even i write in millions of words but why not?

The last issue that comes around is one of the most worrying things that happen in Malaysia. It is actually happen almost every day but lately, even in the holiest month in Islam that majority of the people in the country observe, the intensity and frequency reaching its peak and disturbing. One way of explaining this is maybe the general election is not far away and playing the sentiment is the best way to do it.

The culture of hatred and prejudice once again become the rule of law in the mainstream and definitely most of them who use this still think that this destructive way is the best way to win again and again. Incomprehensible to think that those people can even think in the way of the extremist and have the guts to use the name of Allah to let them do whatever things they want it to be. Real politic is the way for them again and nothing is sinful or wrong in the eyes of this people who never think about the long term consequences of their action to this holy religion. I don't even care whatever happen to their organization with this kind of mindless and barbaric ways of thinking but I do care about my religion. I don't care if their organization perish because of this but I do care when people misunderstood Islam because of the things that has been done by the so called Muslim but not doing it as what Allah and the Rasulullah says.

They should stop this. Don't embarrassed and victimized others with your action. Speak with the true voice of Islam and stop mix it up with your ideology and your politics. Do the people in power, please give me the assurance that Islam is not being use as the tool of oppression because it is not the way it should be. Islam that I know is a religion of peace and freedom. The more you embrace it, the happier you are and the safer everyone around you will be. Please stop portraying the religion as you like it to be. Islam is not a tool for you to be more powerful.

If this kind of people around, Islam will always be misunderstood as religion of extremist. It will always be when people with no respect and responsible towards the religion use it to rationalize everything that they do and give different interpretation as suited to them. Islam is not to accomodate their view. They should accomodate their view according to Islam.

Are they really a true believer or just an opportunist with and extremist mindset?
