Critical Thoughts

This was a letter written to Malaysiakini some four years ago but still remains relevant in the discussion about apostasy: Apostasy: the Prophet has spoken. Of course since then, many things have changed and certainly one may say that I have increased in knowledge, alhamdulillah. There is even a term now (not known in 2004) for those so-called “Muslims” with liberal leanings concocted from the West — we refer to them as Islam Liberal or neo-Mutazillites. An alien thought and innovation that had never existed during the Prophet’s (P) time and a heresy which was rendered extinct some 1000 years ago.

Or so we thought. In any case, the letter is still a pleasant read peppered with the necessary references, perhaps I could expand it to an updated version which takes into account recent events concerning the issue.

This is something you don’t see often…Liberal Islam hypocrites and Kafir Islamophobes patting each other on the back.

When we have less-than-desirable individuals like JHQ who arrogate themselves to the position of the “expert” (when the qualification shows otherwise) running around, I have found that the best policy is always to not take notice of them or their blogs; and to continue doing the activism that you have been doing for the past eight years or so. I find that putting these morons on the “ignore” list does a lot of good, as it frees a lot of time for me to dedicate it to reading and learning.

Two qualities that some people unfortunately will probably never understand.
