It looks like the ‘Allah’ issue is still hot and boiling
over the Christian’s side, especially the Evangelists of DAP. The court’s
decision to ban the use of the Muslim’s God’s name in the Herald is being taken
by DAP as ‘a kick in the butt’.
As a bully, DAP has
always been a sore-loser. As soon as the decision was made by the court, the
party reacted in the only known way to them that is, barking at the nearest
person in sight. As we know, DAP is not done barking at the police and the ROS,
and now it is also barking at the judges.
DAP is really a very
noisy party.
Somehow, all these
noise has not been heard by the international news agency, BBC.
Instead, BBC reported
that it is UMNO and PAS that is fighting each other for the use of ‘Allah’s’ name by the Christians. BBC
did not even mention DAP who is barking at the top of their voice.
In fact, Jennifer Pak
of BBC News Kuala Lumpur described the issue as a ‘tight race between UMNO and PAS’.
But, Jennifer must
have taken PAS and DAP as one entity, and if so, she is quite right since PAS
and DAP makes part of Pakatan Rakyat.
And we know for a
fact that PAS is divided in the issue, even among the religious scholars. PAS
President, Hadi Awang is still hesitating and aren’t ready to make a clear
statement on his stance. However, Harun Taib, the Ulama Council Chief has taken
a stance with the government to not allow the Herald to name the Christian’s
God as ‘Allah’.
Anyway, a
professional reporter or journalist would have mentioned the facts of the case
clearly, that is ‘The Government of
Malaysia VS Christian Federation of Malaysia’. But Jennifer Pak had missed
this most important fact and went on elaborating on the political fights of PAS
VS UMNO instead. The fact that she dares to call her report an ‘analysis’ is laughable.
But there’s nothing
to laugh about her report when she mentioned that mosques and churches were
attacked following the lower court’s ruling of the case in 2009. Now, why does it sound very distant like we
never heard of it before?
Unless Jennifer
referred to the kids splashing paints on the ‘surau’ which, the Muslim community in the area already forgave
them, as an ‘attack’, then we don’t
know what Jennifer is talking about.
Malaysians are not
fools. Yes, we do have quite a remarkable number of fools especially in the
political arena, but basically, not all Malaysians are fools. We know what BBC is trying to do, that is to
turn the Muslims (UMNO-PAS) against each other and Muslims against Christians
altogether and only God knows why. But of course, that’s just what the devils
do.
To straighten the
record up, the UMNO has got no hand in the court’s decision and it has been
proven time and again whereby the Opposition leader could get away with an
obvious crime and UMNO members and leaders have also been put away for
crime.
UMNO and the
government are two separate bodies and it takes a great professionalism of the
leaders to ensure that it never overlaps. Perhaps, Jennifer should learn a
thing or two about being a professional too.
For the beginning,
Jennifer could have spent some time analyzing why is there a necessity or
urgency for the Herald to name the Christian’s God as ‘Allah’?
And, how or what are
the consequences in the context of being a good Christian if the Herald are
forced to stick to the word ‘Father’
or ‘Lord’ only?
