I wonder whether there is such thing as a "moderate Muslim".....maybe Mariam can give a better definition of one. Are you considered a moderate Muslim when you dismissed the basic teaching of Islam such as discard the use of "tudung kepala" or expose your "aurat".
I wonder who is sowing the seed of hatred, if none other than your reader itself Tetraigrat and Steven, by picking Tun Mahathir to fully vent loathsome, angry and hatefilled opinions....this type of opinions is typical of Limkitsiangism, Karpalsinghism, DAPsim, Anwaribrahimsim.
Anyway I see only such names as Jimini, Patrick, MissHuang, Thomas, Francis Preira, Anthony David, Brian Wong, Raymond, Steven, Emmanuel, Ragunathan etc. supporting this article..... Guys, why don't you open up and emulate Datuk Clarence Bongkos Malakun, President of Sabah JP Council.

By starting off with her religious teacher screaming death to the infidels Mariam had manouvered the readers on the obscurity of Muslims when it comes to thier views on Islam and by potraying her utter disgust and disagreements, she potrays her role as a savior to the dignity of Islam against who she brands as extremist , as if such terminology do exist, in the very first place along with liberal minded Muslims.

I too , went to a very strong missionary school and likewise, we too had catechism classes as well as kelas agama islam.

Now, I'm not calling Mariam a liar but my kelas agama is very much into teaching us the basic tenets of Islam. Islamic history, fardhu kifayah, fardhu ain etc. By the way, with me saying all these ,am I now an "extremist". The thing is, we were taught to be respectful of people of other race as we had been glazed with verses from Al Quran on how god created humans not as one but in many , so that we learn diversity and we were also taught on respecting other religion by virtue of verses from Al Quran too. So , my prediction was that, Mariam's teacher is not one that you can rubber stamped Muslims to her likings across the board nor can Mariam conclude that religios education needs a total revamped by the action of one twisted teacher. Does her bad experience gives her the license to do all of that.

I too , had a fair share of discrimination when I was in that school. especially amongst radical missionaries who came from developed countries treating me like orang jakun or even infidels, in the eyes of christianity. But my ustazahs and ustads, had always explained that we shoud not reprimand them even in the smallest way as the koran had specified on how we should administer ourselves when confronted with such circumstances and the cry "death to the infidels" is definitely not in the dictionary. Too bad for Mariam for getting a lousy teacher just as it was too bad for me to get a lousy christian missionary who screamed"death to the infidels" for my math teacher. Difference is, I know when to rubber stamp and when not to rubber stamp. Mariam needs a few lessons on this.

I had raised eye brows when Mariam ranted about how Muslim NGOs and MAIS cried foul over Gunasegaran's article on seveity of punishments. Mariam resent the Muslim's reaction by a non Muslim and gave all the bla bla bla about this and that. Well, on the same note , dear Mariam, and with your endorsement, can I now, as a non Indian, non Hindu and a Muslim, tell the Indians, how erratic, irrational and down right stupid for them to carry the kavadi or even confine thier thaipusam procession within temple grounds?Can ?I now ridicule them for the fact that their religion does not even have familily laws let alone comment on how one punishment is more severe than the other in the Hindu religion. Perhaps Gunasegaran should comment on this since he has given us , the non Hindus, the green light to present our views in public.

Mariam,
For your information I'm a practising MUSLIM according to the Rukun Islam and a staunch believer of the Rukun Iman. My question is am I an extremist fundamantelist?
In my golden years of being a MUSLIM who subscribed to the religion of ISLAM never have I heard of a religion called MODERATE ISLAM!
Correct me if I'm wrong because I've never been to England or elsewhere other than TANAH MELAYU. Maybe some other religions exist elsewhere that I know not or heard not.
By the way I never was ever taught to say the phrase "kill the infidel!"
It is not wrong to correct a wrong but it is wrong to wrong a correct!!
Some people have all the knowledge but not the needed wisdom.

Hanipa Maidin mentioned the HKL report findings even before it has been presented in court. I trust he would also be just as ready to accept its findings if it said that Anwar's semen was found in Saiful's anus. On the (purported) lack of injury to Saiful's rectum, it is well established that anal penetration, even when forced, may not necessarily result in injury. In fact, it is quite common that no injury is found on victims of anal sexual assault. Try reading pages 106-107 of "Clinical forensic medicine: a physician's guide" by Margaret Stark. It is available online on Google Books. Furthermore, Saiful did testify that a lubricant was used.

On his complaint of selective prosecution, that may be true, but as a citizen I think I have every right to know if someone who may well be my next Prime Minsiter is a gay sexual predator.

The only comment that I have for this is that use the proper channel to change the constitution...ie 2/3 of parliament... because that is the only way that it can be change... and trust me, as long as the Malay is the majority race, this will never ever happened.

2010-02-05T23:44:47.912+08:00

Dear all,

for this topic above, it is close to my heart because of my personal experience in having to serve in the airforce and also F-5E/F was the aircraft that my father flew and was the squadron leader in the 1980s.

I was there when the 2nd batch arrive in B'worth airbase in 1980. The Malaysian govt paid about USD 2.11 million per aircraft in 1974 and not USD 50.0 million per engine as reported in the MSM. This was however been "politicize" by the Opposition to make the present Govt look incompetent. Well, it could have happened to anyone, it is just happened to be during their watch.

It was reported that the engine initially was bound to be sent to a local aircraft maintenance facility where I used to work after leaving the airforce but it never arrived there. The engines however found there way to Argentina, and later was transported to Uruguay.

Well done RMAF, let us close this chapter and never let this happened again that would tarnish our impeccable record in defending the nation airspace.

2010-02-05T09:28:35.397+08:00

Dr Halen Ting is trying to established and reasoning of Malay or Melayu true identity but one thing she fail to understand is that the Malay, as it been defined in the Reid Commission, which later translate to the initial draft of the Malayan Constitution. It was crafted such a way based on the current socio economic situation at that point in time.

As you probably know, our constitution maybe alter by having 2/3 majority in the Parliament as provided by the law. That is the best solution for the non-bumi(s) if they think that the constitution is no more applicable to the current time.

The problem that they are having is that it is almost impossible for them to get 2/3 of the parliament because by the sheer fact that Malay are the majority of the population of Malaysia.

actually, something good came out from this incident...

The ministry of defense has agreed to prolong the usage of the Malaysian MiG-29... the numbers of unit is not known but this is the best step that they could have done instead of buying new aircraft, they actually study the way the business been done... kudos to you Minister Zahid...
