Wan Azizah or Khalid – who will the Kajang move favour?

Selangor Pakatan Rakyat (PR) appears to be heading for a showdown over who should lead the country's wealthiest state as menteri besar, with PKR insisting the “Kajang move” run its course with Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail replacing Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, while PAS prefers to retain the second-term state leader.

In a special meeting with the PAS top leadership earlier this week, Selangor PAS MPs and assemblymen leaned towards retaining Khalid as MB with the question: "What did Khalid do to deserve being replaced?"

The outcome of the meeting would be discussed by the PAS central committee this Saturday, and could decide Khalid's tenure as menteri besar.

DAP, the third party making up the PR coalition, is said to have gone along with the majority sentiment that Khalid has to be replaced, and Dr Wan Azizah is one of the candidates they were willing to accept.

Lying Infront Of The Kaabah, Mecca.

Saiful Bukhari is notoriously known as the one who accused Anwar Ibrahim for sodomizing him. We do not want to discuss about Muslims perception towards gays and other alternative sexual orientation. However, we must understand that Saiful's claim on such matter has no bearing what so ever.

Here he is swearing in front of the holy Kaabah. Sodomy is a crime in Islamic law. If Saiful was sodomize by Anwar Ibrahim, he himself should be punished for allowing another man to do such thing to him.

The Stupidity Of Muslims In The Allah Issue

The words and actions of those in power and their unquestioning supporters indicate that they are trying to drive home the point that MIGHT is right. That is why they demand that the minority must bow to the ‘sensitivities’ of the majority. But those sensitivities are self-induced, as no one is ever born with such sensitivities.Sensitivities are one’s own choice.

For example, the Malay children in the mission schools of the 1950s and 60s could sit on the same table and eat their halal food while their non-Muslim friends ate their non-halal food which included pork. Each respected the other. There were no demands that school canteens should stop selling non-halal and pork containing dishes. Was the Malaysian Islam of those days not the same as the Malaysian Islam of these days?

Ajaran Solat Islam Adalah Berasaskan Solat Yahudi? Muhammad tiru Yahudi?

Adakah Nabi Muhammad telah meniru cara sembahyang orang Yahudi?

DAP falls for Umno's 'Allah' trap

COMMENT The ‘Allah’ issue has been a classic, extremely effective Umno trap. When this issue reaches headlines, everybody loses, and nobody wins, except for Umno.

I’ve written about why this is so many times. To summarise quickly: this issue always polarises. ‘Polarisation’ here means that Malaysians who believe their religion is under siege (this applies to both sides) become increasingly convinced that they are correct.

They then behave as anyone who feels their religion is under siege can be expected to.

For ultra conservative or rigid Muslims, this means turning to Umno. They cannot fully turn to PAS, which is ironically more religious, because it has stated that it is all right for non-Muslims to use ‘Allah’ (in a way, they also are victim of a trap - but perhaps in a good way).

Many non-Muslims meanwhile, start to feel more and more like they are being oppressed by the majority. Some give up hope on Malaysia, and start looking for the exit sign. This of course, plays right into Umno’s hands - it means fewer people who will be here to vote for Pakatan Rakyat.

Sajak: Kami Yang Ditindas.

Kami Yang Ditindas.


Hijau daun hilang segarnya,
Langit biru hilang serinya,
Nafas tersekat tetap dihela,
Bagai menanti hari dibela,

Dimana perginya hak kami?
Dibiar terlantar sakit dan sepi,
Dibiar melarat tanpa penghuni,
Bagaikan malu menempah mati.

Kuning yang cekal kami kekalkan,
Agar segera pembersihan dilakukan,
Biar gegak gempita alam maya,
Biar jatuh beribu patung cendana.

Najib Razak bukan Tuhan,
Rosmah Mansor bukan Maharaja,
Elok kita sampaikan pesan,
Agar generasi baru tidak lena,

Jangan takut jangan gentar,
Yesus dulu pun telah dicabar,
Musa juga dihalau firaun,
Biar perjuangan kita beribu tahun.

Catholicism vs Christianity

Catholicism is a denomination, hence a subset, of Christianity. All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholics. A Christian refers to a follower of Jesus Christwho may be a Catholic, Protestant, Gnostic, Mormon, Evangelical, Anglican or Orthodox, or follower of another branch of the religion.

A Catholic refers to a Christian who follows the Catholic religion as transmitted through the succession of Popes of Rome and the Vatican Empire across history. The Pope is the leader of the Catholic church. The Catholic Church is the largest of the Christian Churches - about 60% of Christians are Catholic.

Comparison between Christians and Catholicism

Stigmata

Stigmata (singular stigma) is a term used by members of the Christian faith to describe body marks, sores, or sensations of pain in locations corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus Christ, such as the hands, wrists, and feet.

The term originates from the line at the end of Saint Paul's Letter to the Galatians where he says, "I bear on my body the marks of Jesus." Stigmatais the plural of the Greek word στίγμα stigma, meaning a mark, tattoo, or brand such as might have been used for identification of an animal orslave. An individual bearing stigmata is referred to as a stigmatic or a stigmatist.

Stigmata are primarily associated with the Roman Catholic faith. Many reported stigmatics are members of Catholic religious orders.^[2] St. Francis of Assisi was the first recorded stigmatic in Christian history. For over fifty years, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchinreported stigmata which were studied by several 20th-century physicians.

A high percentage (perhaps over 80%) of all stigmatics are women. In his Stigmata: A Medieval Phenomenon in a Modern Age, Edward Harrison suggests that there is no single mechanism whereby the marks of stigmata were produced.

"Sebab Allah Yesus Ku Mengerti"-Agnes Monica-

It was during the massive hullabaloo over the Agnes Monica’s “Allah Peduli” (Allah Cares) song several years ago that I began to wonder what was it that a mellifluous song with estimate duration of five minutes was possibly capable of annihilating the entire basis of faith one had been holding on to in his/her entire life.

While others were voluntarily recruiting themselves to join the self-styled crusade against what was claimed to be a subtle means of proselytisation, I on the other hand had just determined to embark on my journey to, not just know, but find the best way possible to fall in love with my Allah, whoever She or He may be or belong to. Trust me at once, that this very journey was never an easy experience. Never once it was – and that was simply because, to my sheer consternation – there appeared to be more than just one Allah that I had known all along!
