A Message to Perkasa's Ibrahim Ali as well as Others similar to him: Respect a Rukunegara
by Mohamad Tajuddin Mohamad Rasdi*@http://www.malaysiakini.com
COMMENT: you instruct to comment upon a irresponsible matter of Ibrahim Ali 
(purposely NOT regulating any titles) upon a burning of Malay denunciation Bibles with a name Allah. you consider such statements, if left violent by a Malaysian public, inaugurated representatives as well as generally a Prime Minister himself, would emanate a culture of impassioned violence as well as delude many trusting Malaysians.
I titillate peace amatory as well as essential Malaysian of all religious faiths to come together as well as denounce such 'grandstanding statements' which obviously violate a 'sacred' Rukunegara element of 'Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan'.
Our forefathers have worked tough to build this nation of different communities, competition as well as religions as well as get a element of 'Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan'. you am convinced, as a Malaysian, as an educational as well as as a Muslim, which a May 13 tragedy which saw many trusting lives lost was not due to a stupidity of typical Malaysians though by politicians trying to be popular by regulating such fiery instructions in sequence to stimulate secular hatred.
I have review a book 'A Singapore Story' as well as some alternative critical papers which prove which a culprits of a secu! lar mist rusts as well as clashes were in no small partial due to self-serving politicians as well as a media which has no clarity of honour whether in a Islamic spirit or in any religious spirit.
Have you Malaysians, as well as generally Malays, forgotten a own element in a Rukunegara, 
crafted in a own Melayu Language. Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan. As good am you with English you can't interpret properly a word 'kesusilaan'. The word, as well as you am not a academician in Lingusitics, connotes to me such softness, tact and, politeness, concern as well as humility. Is there a better word than this to simulate such a good culture of a Malays?
I dare contend which a Prophet Muhammad, if Allah had not intended for him to be innate in Arabia, would have been a Malay. Why? Because a Prophet was a softest as well as many humble, polite as well as considerate of men.
I have review through over 20,000 hadiths from a compilations of Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Daud, Tirmidhi as well as Ibn Madjah along with a Muwatta as well as a Sirah Ibn Ishaq to conjure up a man which a hadith says which a Prophet was so 'shy' as well as gentle which even a small slave girl can lead him.
This evil of pliability is totally unheard off in a boisterous, unruly as well as all man's universe of a Arabs. When a Prophet Muhammad stood upon a fields of Ta'if with a bloodied as well as scarred physique after being stoned by young kids as well as adults of a settlement, he still forbade a Angel Jibrail from receiving any retribution as well as fall short a community. Why? For 'I am sent as a Mercy to mankind' said a Prophet.
When Aishah asked him 'What was your biggest fear, O Rasulullah?' He replied which he feared of giving in to his feeling of vengeance as well as destroying a villag! e with a singular command. The Prophet did not fright genocide or bodily harm. He feared giving in to his ego as well as malicious feeling which all amiability possess.
Who have been you Malays then?
I, thus ask, who have been you Malays then? Are you better than a Prophet? Look during our
examples. The mufti (right) as well as alternative higher authorities have INSTRUCTED, ORDERED as well as DECREED which non-Muslims MUST NOT use a word Allah. The PAS Syura Council which has all a so-called good Islamic scholars went spin as well as spin their wordings until settling upon roughly a same tone of instruction, sequence as well as decree.
Now you have a person of Ibrahim Ali calling upon a blazing of a Bible or a Injil. Unless you am mistaken, Allah called upon all Muslims to honour a Books of Allah in a past as well as a PEOPLES. Yes yeswe can argue about what book as well as which Bible which have been 'tampered' with as well as all which stuff though you have review a Bible in English as well as I, for one, found many enlightening things which Nabi Isa says which has helped me get closer to Allah The Most High.
I consider you am honouring what a Qur'an says in Surah Al-Baqara to hold in a Books. you additionally review alternative books of a good religions which have since a initial idea of humaneness to tellurian civilisation.
41. And hold in what you have sent down (this Qur'an), confirming which which is with you, [the Taurat (Torah) as well as a Injeel (Gospel)], as well as be not a initial to disbelieve therein, as well as buy not with My Verses [the Taurat (Torah) as well as a Injeel (Gospel)] a small cost (i.e. getting a small benefit by offered My Verses), as well as fright Me as well a! s Me Alo ne. (Tafsir At-Tabari, Vol. I, Page 253).
The total Allah issue to me was rubbed as badly as it can be handled. Why? It is simply an instrument of political influence. If a so called scholars as well as politicians of Islam were sincerely endangered about such difficulty upon a Malay use of a word Allah, there should have been a courteous call for contention with a brothers as well as sisters of a Christian faith. Not instruct, sequence as well as direct initial as well as afterwards call for discussion.
What discussion? It seems which a decision has already been chiselled in to stone. Where in heavens name is a Rukunegara? Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan? Ibrahim Ali has called for a blazing of a Bible. What next? Let us Malays go bake a church during 4 pm next week? Oh while we're during it why do not you bake a couple of Christians if you have time!
What speak is this? What nation is this? Have you forgotten a goodness to plead cordially. "This is an Islamic Country as well as you am a Malay as well as so you better do as you say!" Is which a line you have been receiving now as Malays? Perhaps which is a Malay informative trait you do not know. But you DO KNOW it is NOT what a Prophet would contend or do. It is NOT inside of a Islamic Spirit as shown by a Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him).
I can allude to pages as well as pages of hadith showing a generosity as well as prominence of Muhammad Rasulullah. you can't seem to find any of a same characteristics in Malay politicians in Malaysia.
My mother as well as you have lifted 5 young kids as well as now you have a grandson. you am sure all Christian parents as well as Muslim parents have been endangered about where this nation is starting as well as would it be safe to be a place to stay. Just since! you am a Malay, with a million-strong often Malay polite service, as well as an next to number of troops as well as troops personnel of my competition does not give me a right to frighten my brothers as well as sisters of a Christian conviction or any alternative conviction for which matter.
So, prior to such flighty matter spin in to unfortunate actions, you call upon a final strand of goodness from a politicians of a ruling party, as well as generally a Prime Minister, to denounce Ibrahim Ali as well as his war-mongering words. Or else, you would have to shift a Rukunegara from 'Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan' to 'Kekasaran dan Kegila-gilaan'.
