Critical Thoughts

A lot of people are pinning their hopes that the new American President will bring change, especially to the destructive foreign policies initiated by his predecessor. His inauguration speech was no doubt very inspiring, it was like a breath of fresh air listening to it compared to the donkey that inhabited the White House before him. People are focusing on the colour of his skin as the impetus for initiating change but before I throw in full support behind him, I want to see what his actions are.

I thank her for addressing me directly in her post here but to be honest, she had done a “tembak sebelum semak” (to borrow the words of Tan Sri Dr. Koh during the Guan Eng-Tsu Koon debate) and assumed that I wanted to debate with her on the issue of Islam & Christianity. So in short, I think you have misunderstood the intention of the debate and even the topic of the debate that I invited you to debate me on. I wasn’t going to ask you to debate with me on the issue of Islam and Christianity (I could do that, but not at this time), but I want to challenge you based on the topic of this post. To be specific, it will be about the Jews and the Muslim attitude towards them, as well as whether Muslims really hate the Jews or otherwise. In fact I want to debate you based on these questions you have raised in your post:

“Why must ask Malaysians of a certain faith to stick together to be wary of the Jews? Why need to warn them? Like we have not enough problems of our own? Smaller, daily routine problems.”

So there is no need to “chicken out” on this. The debate (or if you prefer, discussion) can be conducted in a peaceful and informative manner and there is no need to go in a huff about it either.  So what say you? The offer is still open. I find you an intelligent person and that is why I made the offer because I don’t discuss with stupid people.

As for where Shadowfox is concerned, don’t even mention that bastard’s name to me. He is not even worth the speck of dust under my feet.

Today is Nomination Day and for the next 13 days, we are going to see intense fighting, media spin and bickering of Bee Ann as they turn up the volume of their massive control of MSM (mainstream media), fortunately no search engine marketing firm would be campaigning for them. The victory of the PAS candidate for DUN Kijang due to the bankruptcy status of the BN candidate, however, speaks for itself on how low the general quality of BN candidates really are.

In other news, this blogger will take the time off blogging for a few days as he goes off to entertain an important guest who has just arrived in Malaysia with his family. That guest happens to also own and is founder of a major Islamic counter-missionary website. Insha’allah I will discuss with him about the issues regarding the Christian missionaries, as well as plans and suggestions for counter-missionary efforts.

The position of inheritance in Islam is a fundamental aspect of the religion. The Prophet (P) was in fact reported to have said with regard to the issue above, that “Learn the laws of inheritance and teach it to people, for it is half of knowledge”. It has been referred to as such because it involves various aspects of knowledge such as distribution of wealth, economics, mathematics, etc. as well as involving whether directly or indirectly with all forms of worship. Therefore an inheritance advance is certainly provided for in the religion, as the Qur’an and hadith literature contain abundant information on each family member’s share. Thus this ensures that everyone receives his or her fair share and justice in distribution of an inheritance is preserved.
