Why do people fight and go to war? We tell our children that there are two reasons why people go to war;

* to better their way of life

* to protect their way of life

I would, however , add in one more reason. - Because despite claims of human being evolved, we are, some of us, primarily,ANIMALS.

Otherwise, we can have better way of lives, and/or protect our way of lives without having to go to war. In civilization, war and violence is not an option.

The same applies to people who uses violence as a method of resolving issues. People who enjoy violence, are useful tools for those who prefer to use brain mass rather than muscle mass to achieve personal gain. How do you think the handful filthy rich oligarchies of the world have managed to maintain their lifestyles if not for creating new wars to boost sales, namely firearm sales, to sustain them?

I was reminded by this when my eyes were feasted upon today morning's news whereby 3 churches have been attacked. This quote may give you a general idea who did it;

"Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan confirmed the attacks, saying the first attack was by motorcyclists who threw a helmet filled with flammable liquid at the Metro Tabernacle Church in Desa Melawati, causing a fire that burned books and chairs near here, at midnight. Its administrative office was gutted in the attack."

Judging by the method of other attacks apart from the one mentioned above, it may have been executed by bored Mat Rempits who cannot afford to merempit the extra mile due to the rise of petrol, for all I care. It could be punks hired by the "brains" hiding behind their muscles.

One thing remained evident, that those people who attacked the churches are DEFINITELY ALL MUSCLE, because they cannot be having that much content of brain to execute such act and not even be able to get a basic home made bomb like Malatov Cocktail to blow up.(which is a great blessing of course). It sound very Malay indeed, can never get something done with 100% achievement at first attempt, no need CIA or Interpol to aid investigation in this one. Buy a Proton car if you dare disagree with me.

The main question remained to be answered is, WHO IS THE BRAIN behind the muscle? You're looking at the wrong blog if you're looking for this answer. I'm merely pointing out that this may be a political issue more than it is, a religious one. My suspicion is that there are certain parties who would love to make ISA so very relevant due to this incident. Just an intuition....that and past history..Sadly, there are still people falling for this tricks it's no wonder politicians remain corrupted politicians and civilians remain screwed.

My job is to hail every Malaysian to realize that we don't have to fall for the same trick over and over again. Let's not be the pawns in their chess game. Let us not allow them to use our sentiment on religion and race, to get what they want. 13th May was nothing but a coup to out-stead Tunku Abdul Rahman because he was getting too cozy with the idea of a sincere One Malaysia.Haven't we learned anything from history? (actually, history was distorted.....so I take back my question)

I will start by offering my deepest and sincerest apology to my fellow Christian brothers and sisters for the sacrilege act that is clearly against true Islam or any religious teachings. The Quran clearly stated;

[2:114] "And who doth greater wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach to the sanctuaries of Allah lest His name should be mentioned therein, and striveth for their ruin. As for such, it was never meant that they should enter them except in fear. Theirs in the world is ignominy and theirs in the Hereafter is an awful doom."

In simpler English ;

2:114 "Who are more wicked than those who prohibit God's temples; so that His name not be mentioned in them; and they seek their destruction? It is they who should not be able to enter them except in fear; they will have humiliation in this world and in the Hereafter a painful retribution."

Again, in Surah al-Hajj: 39-40,Allah said;

“To those against whom war is made, permission is given (to fight), because they are wronged – and verily Allah is Most Powerful for their aid – (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right – (for no cause) except that they say, ‘Our Lord is Allah’. Did Allah not check one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid his cause, for truly Allah is full of strength and might.”

Yes, Muslims are encouraged to retaliate when oppression stare them in the face, but never to INSTIGATE violence. Islam establishes a relationship with the people of different faiths on the basis of tolerance, justice, benevolence, and mercy.

[Surah al-Mumtahanah: 9-10]

“Allah forbids you not with regard to those who neither fight against you for your faith nor drive you out of your homes from dealing kindly and justly with them, for Allah loves those who are just.”

Unjust have been committed by these hooligans powered by, well, we have yet to establish this entity. But for now, I plead my fellow brothers and sisters, be you Muslims, Christians, Buddha, Hindus, Jews, atheists who believe in justice and humanity, let us stand together to condemn this act of treason towards humanity!!!Let us say a prayer, in our own ways, a prayer to our God, the same God, to give us strength and patience to overcome this ordeal, and for God to unveil the truth of who are behind this barbaric act.

I'm sure there will be similar versus in the book of all religion, something similar to that of that stated in our Quran

(Al-Ma’idah 5:8) ;

"{O ye who believe! stand out firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the hatred of others to you make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear God. For God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.}"

The cause, or rather, excuse for this whole mess is "the usage of Allah in Catholic context", but why resort to violence when there are other civilized grounds that can be utilized? It all comes down to this:

[Surah al-Ankabût: 46]

“Argue with the People of the Scripture in the best manner except those among them who act oppressively. Say: We believe in the revelation that has come down to us and in that which came down to you. Our God and your God is one, and it is to Him we submit ourselves as Muslims.”

*** For the record, "Islam" simply means "submission to God, the One and Only", so basically, "Muslims" are "submitters"

Let us stay together, make One Malaysia ours, not theirs.....
