The sad thing is, the Bar forum is not even bad mouthing or discussing issues about the Islamic faith; rather, the forum is on the impact and outcome of Malaysian administrative governance over the issues on Islamic conversion. I believe the Islamic faith does not in any way teaches people to act violently, unbecoming or discriminatory. The worries that stir the non-Muslim's concern is due to the Malaysian administrative problems on the issue of conversion and the recognition of it. These are purely administrative and nothing more! My father was down in Jordan few months back, according to him (hearsay) it is quite an eye opening to see how their country is like. Jordan (I think) is also a country with Islam as the official religion. Yet, according to my father, (after few meetings and casual chat with the local Jordanians) there is no such problem, red tape or crazy religious government officials that causes so much strive like what we see in Malaysia! In China, which (I believe) has quite a number of Muslims as well (please correct me if i am wrong), and yet, we do not see or hear such conversion creating mega issues. Hence, I believe there is nothing wrong with Islamic faith, it is because of the human factor that causes such unrest. Darren Teo Sze Hoong - Darren Teo Sze Hoong Sat, 09 Aug 2008 16:06:17 +0100
