You write well. Your suggestion of "the...Jeg,<br /><br />You write well. Your suggestion of "they should concentrate on indoctrinating the people of all religions about the 'Allah' sounds very good though not so practical.<br /><br />The point that you and ALL MUST realise is that, Allah in Islam is NOT just The One True God.. But also Allah Who Has No Partners. This second part does not qualify a Christian God Concept with Allah as is in Islam. So to use Allah as direct equavalent to God as per Christian Literatures will cause goose flesh among Muslims.<br /><br />Tuhan and Allah is very different. Tuhan was used for deities and was pre-islamic terms, except when used with Capital T. However even so, it falls short of the definition of Allah as per Islamic One and Only God plus the rest of the concept..<br /><br />Tauhid is the central core of the Islamic religious belief and Allah is THE CORE of Tauhid. So when other quarters was bent on using this exclusive term, it definetely touches on the core sensitive areas of the Malays.. This is NOT POLITICAL AT ALLL... NOT in a 100 years. It is entrenched in the religious belief at its core and hence at the most sensitive part of Muslim psych..Gukitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553529969243307062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16851183.post-50094711999104639422010-01-12T16:40:37.259+00:002010-01-12T16:40:37.259+00:00I just wanna add. Don't you agree that God has...I just wanna add. Don't you agree that God has not spoken nor taking side at this point of time, right? Why we humble servant of God fight among each other?<br /><br />I'm here not to make judgement either, as Im not qualified to comment. But do this out of the box. Why cant Muslim/Malay looks at it in a big picture. Can this a sign to the Muslim that this is indeed an opportunity to spread the words of Islam? The beauty of Islam should not be appreciated by Malays alone but those longing/waiting for it. Im firm believer that Islam is a religion of love.

Racial and religious issues are the only way to win back voters who are less knowledgeable and informed"<br />first of all.. <br />must every issue raised must be potiticized?<br />the issue and main concern here is that.. the translation of the word God.<br />Be it a member of any political party in Msia, the question arised was that..<br />the word God = Tuhan in BM. the question is, why should it be translated to Allah?<br /><br />im neither a politician nor someone involve in politics to begin with, but to solely condemn that it is a sandiwara by UMNO, that will be a little bit too much.<br />If one can point finger to them, why not point finger to the PKR and PAS fr sparking the issue even worse, when producing statements to agree the word Allah to<br />be use in bible translations.The issue is simple, avoid the translation of the word God into Allah.<br />why?<br />1. we have the word 'tuhan' in our vocab that refers to God in general<br />2. if one to question why most ppl are senstitive over the Allah as a tranlation of God, since it refers to God in many other countries n such, try changing our first pillar of <br /> rukun negara fr "kepercayaan kepada tuhan" to "kepercayaan kepada Allah". If Allah is just a word and shouldnt be sensitive about, we'll see how many will react and protest to it if it were to be changed.<br />3. to avoid confusion, why not? it is our responsibility to protect the religion as well. if it can be led to confusion, why let it be..? we cant control what's happening in the other countries, but we can stop it from happening in ours. Why jump together into the rabbit's hole? i dont see why anyone should axe the fact that it can let to a confusion should not be something serious to ponder upon.<br /><br />just sharing my piece of mind....AZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16851183.post-45958160869718828062010-01-09T07:18:36.337+00:002010-01-09T07:18:36.337+00:00a truly unbiased piece of work.

We cant denied the fact that the government had failed miserably on issues pertaining to inter-race & inter-religion. Judging from the fb respond on the said subject, i can safely conclude that the generation engineered to lead Malaysia are utterly wrong, be it Malay or Non-Malay. Thats my personal view, correct me if im wrong.Atom.mighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718847916922833024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16851183.post-13981925670953861432010-01-09T03:08:12.726+00:002010-01-09T03:08:12.726+00:00It seems strange that suddenly this issue is broug...It seems strange that suddenly this issue is brought up when the word Allah has been used by non-Muslims for a long long time. <br /><br />In Malaysia, we seem to have our own version of Islam and now we also want to make the word Allah exclusive. The word Allah is widely used to refer to God all over the world in many religions. <br /><br />Many people who are emotional about this issue are not even aware of the history of this word. The suggestion that it may confuse believers is also immature as the confusion can work both ways. At the end of the day it's all about understanding what the word means rather than the word itself. Unfortunately in today's world label seems to be more important than the contents. In my opinion, this whole issue is just a sandiwara created by UMNO in order to win the next GE as they have run out of ideas. Racial and religious issues are the only way to win back voters who are less knowledgeable and informed. <br /><br />It is sad that Malaysians prefer to harp on such petty issue instead of condemning things like corruption, abuse of power which are more serious issues in the eyes of religions. The outflow of FDIs is only going to get worse and in the end all Malaysians stand to lose. <br /><br />By the way, the God concept does not exist in Buddhism. Buddha is a man who achieved enlightenment as he has managed to overcome all desires. However, most Malaysian Chinese practise a mixed-form of Buddhism and Taoism or other ancient Chinese religions which are polytheistic in nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16851183.post-21958548292681457152010-01-08T10:29:38.193+00:002010-01-08T10:29:38.193+00:00you are right.
