Well, let's get back to the video, his ignorance about Chinese culture and religion aside, that's quite a good speech I'd say. Although he's quite narrow minded with his speech, with all the bashing on the Chinese religious practice, it make sense, since there are so many mosque of different races, why not a Chinese mosque? If we can have Chinese churches that's bashing the Taoism and Buddhism the same way all over the country, why not a Chinese mosque? Does those so called original Muslim see Chinese as a threat?
When some Chinese wanted to join them, they are afraid that the Chinese will corrupt their holy religion? If they are not ready to accept new brothers and sisters with welcoming arms, what do they expect those people to do? They will start misunderstanding the Islamic teachings and there's where trouble comes in. If I am not mistaken, China where the Chinese come from is one of the channel Islam is bring into Malaysia!
Living in a multiracial country, with dominant religion on the majority of each races, the best we can do is of course respect others' religion. Coming from different religion background, we might agree or disagree that there exist only one god, and HE the greatest of all beings. Why not just spread the teachings without damaging the other religions?
Why must there be a continuity of the holy war, no offense but why haven't anyone take a deep thought and think that religion could be a political scam. A well staged act with GOOD intention to lead the people. Some well passed myth or stories that satisfy the security needs of the people in the era the religion first started. After all religion is but a set of conditions to gain invisible return, and you can't argue otherwise. If there exist prophets back then, why prophets stop showing up now?
Accept the fact that all religions are different then you'll start seeing their similarity. It all bears good intention, telling people not to do bad things, the condition to receive the invisible love, is to love!
Matter of fact, we do worship King Kong!

ReplyDeletelol and we should change that! Every change should start from ourselves, and then you will start to influence others by example, you may fail but if you persevere it will works through time.
ReplyDeleteactually one of the reason of the 'Narrow' thinking is that, there are very very limited exposure to other religions.
ReplyDeletethis is to prevent those brothers/sisters from influence by other views.
i found out this when i received one emial wrongly forwarded by a muslim to my email account.
the email is to stop others to read certain brochures to prevent their brother/sisters to be converted to christian.
it is very different thinking with us, who are already used to the exposure to all to the different views. we are more confidence that everybody has the ability to think and differenciate what is right and what is wrong.
@Anonymous, that is very very well said! Religious censorship could be as hard as pornography censorship. It's in the end up to the individual who receive the information to decide about how he perceive the information one obtain.
