 Malaysia
Blasted For Dhimmitudeby Pete Fisher
One of my readers sent an article from BBC that details the blatant
discrimination against non-Muslims within the country. Abdullah Badawi
rebuffed
the article as completely in error. Yet the opposition shows facts
that though non-Muslims comprise more than 40% of the population, none
have held a senior ministerial post for over 3 decades.
The funny thing about this, though it is no surprise to myself or
others familiar with Islamic governments conducting affairs like this,
is that after my last article I went back and forth with a young lady
from the UK who disagreed with my article, was Muslim, and had no
problem debating. Her mother, who deemed my emails dangerous to the
child, cut the exchange short. All I did was ask questions about
governments like this who keep non-Muslims "in line" by allowing
discrimination and suppression of faith to exist within their laws and
culture.
With the worlds’ eyes on incidents like this, of course there will
be some façade of multi faith cultures and activity. Yet when one
looks closer, they will see the imbalance of power and the inequity of
treatment in some of these places.
In this global economy it could spell great economic doom for some
of these countries if the truth were known. Which is why the façade.
Ethnic Malays by law are required to be Muslim. Yet we all know and
have all heard that Islam is not a religion of compulsion, yes? Of
course. And we are all expected to accept this as fact and turn our
heads away in ignorance.
I have friends from Jordan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iraq, and Iran
who fled their homes of generations due to similar oppression. Yet
according to these governments, this activity is non-existent. Tell
this to the Sudanese. In one Hadith, Mohammed referred to Blacks as
Raisn Heads (Sahih Al Bukhary vol. 1, no. 662 and vol.
9, no. 256), and as pug nosed slaves in Sahih Moslem vol. 9 pages 46
and 47.
How then can we expect to see his followers view them differently?
After all, according to Islamic tenets, Mohammed was given words
directly from God, though he never wrote the Koran himself. How can
God despise the creation of His own hands by demeaning them and
basically claiming they are good enough only for slavery? Yet even
stranger is that Islam is growing among Blacks. Personally, I would
never flock to a god who had already made fun of my race and demeaned
my position in life.
It is one thing for a society, government or individual to take a
stance as such. But a religion, and most importantly their revered
prophet, to take that stance is appalling at best.
And yet we see genocides at the hands of Muslims all over Africa
due to this mind set. And we see the oppression of other faiths and
people because Mohammed said to basically submit and pay tribute, or
die. For someone who supposedly heard straight from God Himself, this
seems quite contrary. And for a religion of peace, this also seems
quite contrary. Especially when there is supposedly no compulsion.
What one is to believe, and what one sees, seem to be a daily
contradiction not to be reconciled with common sense or religious
tenets elsewhere.
We see where the building of churches and temples is prohibited or
severely controlled. We see where teaching or preaching other than
Islam is outlawed or punishable in some way or another. Where it is
seen, it is seen simply because the Islamic institutions want it to be
seen. It is tolerated for the purpose of politics, and nothing else.
We see the tearing down of temples, the burning of churches, the
building of a Mosque on the old site, and who from Islam protests or
complains about the inequity? Let a man speak contrary to Islam, the
Koran, Mohammed, and Fatwah is issued and death is commanded. No
compulsion or freedom to choose god or religion here. Laws that
protect Muslims and do not apply to others. No compulsion here. Social
rights and status not to be obtained by non-Muslims. No compulsion
here.
Genocides and slavery to those who refuse to become Dhimmis. No
compulsion here. Families outcast and slaughtered because a man
decided to change faiths. No compulsion here. No discussions are
allowed with other religions or are immediately cut off when questions
are asked that cannot be answered. No compulsion here. And I can go on
and on. It resembles more brain washing than true religion. No debate
or disagreement is allowed to continue. Any refusal to believe that
Mohammed is Gods’ prophet, or that he may have been in complete error
is immediately met with refusal to talk further. No compulsion here
either.
I look and I look, and I see this no compulsion being practiced
everywhere. If my child decided to change faiths, I could only talk
with them and let them decide. I cannot force them to believe what I
believe, even if it breaks my heart. Each man must be accountable to
God by his own choice, or it is simply brain washing. We see some of
the highest poverty and illiteracy rates in the world coming from
Islamic society, with few exceptions. By keeping them ignorant and by
enforcing mandatory religion, we see they can keep tight control on
what the denizens believe and how they act upon it. When an Iman in
Afghanistan told a mother her child was ill because Allah had placed
an elf inside his head and nothing could be done to heal him (she was
not allowed to take her son to a male doctor unescorted), her son died
several hours later of a brain aneurysm. Of course, Mohammed himself
believed that sleeping during a sermon allowed the Devil to urinate
into ones ear, and that while one slept at night, the Devil took up
resident in ones’ nostrils and mandated blowing ones nose 3 times
every morning to rid their nostrils of the Devil.
But she, not being allowed or able to read, could not debate with
this cleric. First it was not her right, secondly she had no way to
read the Koran herself and test his words. Again, no compulsion there,
if one is kept ignorant to the point of not being able to make any
other choice, even if the freedom were there to allow it.
Yes, Minister Abawi, we really do believe you. We see Malaysia as
an all-encompassing aura of peace and equality, coupled with religious
choice and the same rights for all citizens. We see that it is only a
select few who commit atrocity, persecution, and that all Muslims are
open to debate, as long as no one claims that perhaps Islam or
Mohammed had perceived flaws. We see the light. We are all in
agreement with your assessment. We are all ignorant and uneducated and
will buy into anything we are told.
We will allow you and many others to dream your dream, and turn
your eyes from truth, and lie to the world. After all, does not the
Koran condone lying for the furtherance of Islam? So your prophet and
your god justify you. This makes everything just and true, and I am
sure you will be rewarded on Judgment Day for your holiness and
reverence of humans from all walks of life.
And the rest of us, we will remain in darkness because we refuse to
see the Islamic light or choose a religion that differs. And we will
all be treated like…what is the word? Infidels? Less than dirt,
unqualified for matters of religion and purity? Of course. And we will
keep our place with the Raisin Heads and Snub Nosed slaves while
learning about the greatness of God by your fine example. Keep
believing that. Because we certainly do not.
