Critical Thoughts

Begrudgingly I have to accept the fact that yet another person had decided to leave the body of the ummah and while I agree with the conclusions on why the Shariah Court in Penang approved the application of apostasy in the aforementioned case, I lament the fact that we still do not have any proper legislation to deal with apostasy and apostates from Islam in particular. In this particular case, there is evidence that she was never exposed to the proper teachings of Islam (which is where the sole blame lies with MAIPP, PERKIM, MACMA, etc., and no one else) and thus this judgement is correct. But there is, of course, the issue of another “Siti Fatimah” in Malacca who was raised as a Muslim and of course, Lina Joy who was also a born Muslim in the first place.

Let it be clear that there is no way the Muslim ummah should ever accept Muslims committing the heinous sin of apostasy and there is only one punishment for that: Man badala deenahu, faqthuluhu!

Today, we see in the Muslim world that the ummah is slowly making this prophecy come true.

Muslims are now officially more numerous than the half-naked man worshippers from the Catholic sect.

Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world’s largest religion, the Vatican newspaper said Sunday.

“For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us,” Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican’s yearbook.

He said that Catholics accounted for 17.4 percent of the world population — a stable percentage — while Muslims were at 19.2 percent.

Good. That’ll teach ‘em. So much for the recent Fitna….it sure didn’t stop the tide.
