So here’s another ‘hot topic’ of good old backward Malaysia…
Background: The Malaysia Courts have lifted a previous ban for Non-Muslims to use the word “Allah”. This has caused havoc in Malaysia’s approximately 60% Muslim population even resulting in Churches being burned etc.
The Losers’ Way: Limit Growth of Intelligence
So the big hoo-haa is because a previous ban of non-Muslims using the word “Allah” has been lifted. So now it’s perfectly legal for any religion/person in Malaysia to use “Allah” to describe “God”. Whilst many Muslims in Malaysia get vexed due to the uplifting of the ban, let’s take a more comprehensive approach to the issue. I mean, should it have been banned in the first place?
Let’s be frank here. Islam is a way of life that is based on intellectual conviction. That means there’s intelligent reasoning as to why Islam is the correct way of life. Therefore there’s no need to hide behind banning thought, rather we should encourage thought so that the truth eventually comes out.
The problem with the governments of today is that their intelligence falls so low that they have to result to the ‘Losers’ Strategy’ i.e. if you’re too dumb to beat them intellectually, then accept that you’re a dumbass and try plan B [ban them from intelligent discussion instead..or in this case, a lower level of thought has been applied by the government – ban them from using certain words!]. I mean, this takes me back to that fool Ex Prime Minister of Britain Tony Blair when he tried to ban the largest Islamic political organisation in the world to operate in the UK – Hizb ut-Tahrir (August 2007 right?) – purely because he was out of ideas on how to challenge true Islamic beliefs..of course, he wasn’t able to ban them as Islamic ideas are much stronger than the remnants of defecation that constantly falls out of his mouth. And what a fool his proposed ban made him and his government become.
So here we go – another classic example of how Malaysia has adopted the disease of the farcical West i.e. ‘dumbass-ism’…or to put more accurately the farcical Kufr nations – The Quraish put a ban on trading/interacting with the Muslims during the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) time as they ran out of ideas how to stop other Idolaters from intellectually being convinced that idolism was incorrect and that rather Islam was rationally correct… well, shouldn’t Malaysia’s Brand Spanking New State of the Art ‘Islam Hadhari’ have embraced the ‘Hadharah’ (Culture) of Islam properly and learnt from the Kuffar’s mistake – i.e. that banning thought is a strategy for fools and the rational truth shall always prevail? – Of course not – It’s Malaysia remember?! Truly Asia, Truly Kufr!
Anyway as Malaysian society gets more and more corrupt each day, there’s natural concern on keeping up the morals in society (i.e. the Islamic principles). But since Malaysia’s already applied a banning on intelligent thinking (aw man, I can’t remember what the ‘thinking ban’ throughout Malaysian universities is called) and political dissent (e.g. ISA and banning of Al-Hizbul Islami in the UK) for decades (only in the past few years this has become a little more relaxed), then what’s happened is you get a society of people (inc government officers) who generally are not used to thinking outside of the box. So as a result the government – out of it’s concern that Islamic morals are being lost in society – applies things such as bans on non-Muslims using the word “Allah” – instead of for example, launching public discussions between differing beliefs to conclude on the correct and incorrect ways of life (hence elevating the level of thought in society – for Muslims and non-Muslims). Let’s face it, if the Muslims in Malaysia are all confident in intellectually presenting to others that Islam is the correct way of life, there’s no need for a puny ban on the word “Allah” as no Muslim would be able to be tricked into Kufr by a non-Muslim who merely used the word “Allah” as a ‘technique’ to confuse the Muslims..
The Issue with Words
So seriously, what’s the issue with these Words? I mean, Christians in the Middle East have been using the word “ilah” for time, yet there’s no problem here..I mean “Allah” derives from “Al – ilah” i.e. meaning “The God” as in Islam we only believe in the One God. If someone else wants to believe there’s only one God as well – how can that be a problem? Surely that’s one step closer to Tawheed (belief in Oneness of God) and hence also towards Islam right?
The thing with Malaysians – if fact, the thing with Malays – is that we as a culture adhere to a lot of backwardness. It’s like for decades we just can’t seem to accept the fact that language is merely a communication tool – and not a solution in itself. What next? Are we gonna get mad when other cultures start using specific Malay words? Or start taking anything that’s ‘Malay’ as their own ‘culture’? Just like a few months back when there was a big pointless hoo-haa about Indonesia getting mad because a tourism agency accidently claimed that a traditional Indonesian dance was actually a traditionally Malay dance? I mean – have you seen that dance – I’d say it’s a effing embarrassment, so why does anyone even want to claim it as their own?
Malaysia’s reputation of stealing other people’s or nation’s culture/work works into a very long list. Take the embarrassing car brand ‘Proton’ – not only is it one of the ugliest and worst cars in the world – but Malaysia didn’t even change the car…I’m not sure of the newer models (cos I can’t be bothered keeping up with such a lame company) but the initial models are all based on other branded cars – mainly Mitsubishi – in which Malaysia rips of the badge and puts on a Proton badge in its place..or Proton purchased a load of messed up Citroen AXs and just slapped on a Proton Tiara badge on it…anyway, let’s get back to the main point again..
The thing with Malays in general is that rather than understanding the root of a problem and treating that root, they prefer to be impatient and take shortcuts. So rather than doing the much needed ground work in Malaysian society i.e. elevating the societal intelligence of Malaysia to a level that Muslims in general are able to discuss issues regarding correct/incorrect Aqeeda with a non-Muslim and triumphantly convince the latter of the rational Islamic viewpoint, Malays instead prefer to keep the intelligence as child-like and try and patch each problem –one at a time- that comes out of this child-like mentality – which of course – is never ending…until the child grows up (if it ever does)!
That’s right – that’s the M-Factor (Malaysian Factor) in conclusion: Don’t treat the cause of the disease, treat the symptoms of the disease…no wonder Malaysian society gets more and more corrupt each day…the ‘doctors’ of the society are a bunch of fools with no real dynamic intelligence.
So what the heck is the short term solution?
There is no short term solution… Malaysia’s been a messed up country for so long …you can’t expect it to magically become OK again by a click of the finger! In fact the whole world’s been messed up for so long, so it takes time to heal. But the correct healing potion must be used with immediate effect. As previously mentioned, step one is for us to understand the root of the problem…why is it such a threat to Muslims in Malaysia that a non-Muslim uses a particular word?
Smart-Ass Snitch: What’s the root?
The root’s simple and was touched upon earlier. The Muslim ummah in general have no faith and confidence to discuss with non-Muslims such that they put an imaginary barrier in their own capabilities and just end up doing nothing but hoping someone else (i.e. the government) will help them do their work. Well, let’s be honest, the Malaysian government – like all governments in the world – is a government that rules by Kufr. It’s a government that ultimately commits shirk by stating that their law is higher than Allah’s law …fine there’s a so called ‘Shariah’ law in Malaysia, but what’s the point of having it when in the federal constitution it states that if there’s a contradiction between the Shariah law and the Federal law, then the Federal law prevails? In simple terms, what’s that called again, boys and girls? It’s called Shirk (associating partners with Allah) – in this case, it’s associating the Government of Malaysia with Allah – where they make an explicit claim that their law is superior to Allah’s law. We therefore say “F the Malaysian government”.
So tell me the solution babe
Well, for all of you who know me personally – you know exactly what kind of angle I’m coming from…for those of you who don’t..then in a nutshell, I’d say it’s high time we as an ummah explore the true systems of Islam (in order to implement)..the intricate details – e.g. how to prevent inflation, how to ensure a stable currency, how to ensure fair-trade, how to ensure religious tolerance, how to protect the non-Muslims of the Islamic state, how to achieve technological advancement etc… all these solutions are in the Quran and Sunnah but can I detail all this in one Facebook rant? – Nay my friend, however my email address and house address is always open for more in-depth discussion… and also some of the books of Islamic systems can be downloaded from here:

Peace out – and I hope I offended the Malaysian government – at least a little..LOL.
