LRTQ 2: This Cannot Be Islamic....

If I were to decide on what should be the 8th wonder of the world, it has to be the brain of a bigot. While scientists are busy fiddling with Einstein's brains, I seriously suggest the scientists do a pro bono on the research of the brain of a bigot, try to comprehend what goes on in there, or whether the act of bigotry actually is a spinal level act, bypassing the atrophied brain.

Honest to God, I cannot even begin to understand what may have gone on, in these pathetic excuse of walnut brains of the people who were responsible in being irresponsibly stupid, by participating in that regretfully imbecilic protest in Shah Alam. It could be politically related, what's not in Malaysia, but the point is ; "What point are they trying to make?"

The thing that annoys me most is that they have got the cheek proclaim the act as Islamic. Which Islam are they talking about? Is it the same Islam that teaches the ummah tolerance and liberality as evidenced in the Surah An nahl surah 90

"Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition."

Or the same Islam that encourages the spread of Islam via beautiful preaching, as He said so in An Nahl surah 125

"Invite (all) to the Way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance."

Is it the same Islam that prohibits destructive behaviour, on the contrary encourages good deeds, as what is stated in the surah Al Baqarah surah [195]

"And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your own hands contribute to destruction; but do good; for Allah loveth those who do good."

Is it the same Islam that encourages holding a counsel for the purpose of upholding righteousness, and not to impose hostility and iniquity, as we can learn from surah Al Mujadila [9]

" O ye who believe! when ye hold secret counsel, do it not for iniquity and hostility, and disobedience to the Messenger; but do it for righteousness and self-restraint; and fear Allah, to Whom ye shall be brought back"

Is it the same Islam that does not favour power abuse, like what was said by Allah in
Surah Muhammad 22 - 23:

"Then, is it to be expected of you, if ye were put in authority, that ye will do mischief, in the land, and break your ties of kith and kin? [23] Such are the men whom Allah has cursed for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight."

If what happened in Shah Alam that Friday did not tally with what God had said, as evidenced by the surah in the Quran, and many more, then by all means, stop proclaiming that it was an Islamic act. It's just shameful ,degrading and inexcusable.

God said in Al Hajj (22) verse 39 - 40;

"It is permitted for those who have been persecuted to fight. God is able to give them victory. [22:40] The ones who were driven out of their homes without justice, except that they said, "Our Lord is God!" If it were not for God defending people against themselves, then many places of gathering, markets, support centers, and temples where the name of God is frequently mentioned, would have been destroyed. God will give victory to those who support Him. God is Powerful, Noble."

If they think that this is an act of "Jihad", well then, they have something else coming their way In Al Qasas verse 83 - 84 God said;

"That House of the Hereafter We shall give to those who intend not high-handedness or mischief on earth: and the End is (best) for the righteous. If any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any does evil, the doers of evil are only punished (to the extent) of their deeds."

We may pray in different gestures, or different places we call the 'house of God' each, but at the end of the day, all prayers go to the same God;

Al Baqarah:186;

"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: let them also, with a will, listen to My call, and believe in Me: that they may walk in the right way. "

I have nothing else to say except to extend my deepest, sincerest apology on behalf of Islam, to my Hindu brothers and sisters for this inexcusable act of ......I still can't think of a word to roll "imbecilic, cruel, harsh, irresponsible, nauseating, bigotry, pedantic, parochial, misrepresenting, against the teachings of Islam" all into one.

I know this is not a laughing matter, but I thought I'd leave this video, to ease the tension.
