Comments for Islamic laws not to be applied to non-Muslims at http://www.malaysianbar.org.my , comment 0 to 2 out of 2 comments http://www.malaysianbar.org.my Fri, 09 Jan 2009 21:52:17 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/press_statements/islamic_laws_not_to_be_applied_to_non_muslims.html#pc_6250 Once again it saddens me as a Muslim that the religious authorities wish to focus on issues which are not of the highest priority, especially the current one, which concerns non-Muslims. There are a whole of other issues these bodies can focus on like corruption among Muslims, educating the public on the general misperceptions on the religion and so much more. They choose to focus on 'easier' and 'sensational' issues instead...

I read this somewhere...that 'Politics' is made up of two words, 'poli,' which is Greek for 'many,' and 'tics,' which are blood-sucking insects. Don't you think its the most appropriate to describe most of our government clowns and their agents?? Have they not heard that history of liberty is a history of resistance? That history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it? In order for an act to be a crime, libertarians say, someone must be harmed -- there must be a victim. Anything that's peaceful, voluntary, and honest should be tolerated regardless of whether we agree with it. Part of the price of our own freedom is allowing others to be free. I believe that religion, generally speaking, has been a curse to mankind - that its modest and greatly overestimated services on the ethical side have been more than overcome by the damage it has done to clear and honest thinking people. We, the people, are the rightful masters of both parliament and the courts - not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert the constitution. Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of Temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes at the very principles upon which our constitution was founded. - attributed to Lincoln I have only this to say to these morons... that I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. My freedom is more important than your good idea clowns!! ;D 8) Always with love Siti Zabedah Kasim - Siti Zabedah Kasim Fri, 04 Apr 2008 03:25:49 +0100
