Pluralism According to THEM

Bravo Sahibus Samahah!

I salute the Perlis Mufti for his excellent insight when he openly condemned those who were accusing others of practising or promoting pluralism. According to him , such rushed and harsh accusations is just like the Talibans did in Afghanistan not too long ago. He added and I totally concur with him that such extremity is bad for this country where we have multi races and faiths.

Those people seemed to forget the practices of Prophet Muhammad SAW and many of his companions of practising respect and tolerance when it comes to religion. What is more appalling is that the seminar in which those people uttered such criticism or rather accusations seemed to forget or deliberately skipped some practices of leaders from the ruling coalition which was clearly against the teachings of Islam like what the Perak coup leader did few weeks ago and how the self proclaimed First Lady of Malaysia organised a fashion show purportedly to promoter Islamic fashion when it was clearly the opposite. How about some leaders who indulged themselves in things that are clearly against the teachings of Islam like bribery and drinking liquor? These are the things rightly pointed out by the Perlis Mufti, which I am sure will be facing the brunt later on since he is actually an outsider being a Sarawakian himself.

One of the speaker in the forum or seminar was once a supporter of DSAI but out of the blue he suddenly criticised and accused him of pluralism. In a way, that is commendable since he is trying to correct something that in his opinion is wrong but he is being unfair when obvious misdeeds by leaders from the ruling coalition went missing in his criticism and furthermore he did not do a thorough check on the history of the Prophet SAW and the companions on the same matter.

Selective and unfair criticism have been practised widely by the ruling coalition against the Opposition or others who have dissenting ideas. Such conduct in the end deprives the mass of the truth or at least the other side of the story causing them to blindly agree and follow what the leaders of the ruling coalition are saying making them to make mistake of retaining the people who have for all the years cheated them not only of their wealth but also their freedom and sanity as well!
