Just For Reading!

Jesus wept — Mariam Mokhtar
January 11, 2010 . http://www.themalaysianinsider.com


JAN 11 — The views of some contributors to The Malaysian Insider at the weekend, over the “Allah” issue may be repugnant, but in a mature democracy its members are entitled to voice them.

Thus, I hope to be an antidote to any loathsome, angry and hate-filled opinions of certain small-minded individuals.

And I am confident there will be more moderate Muslims who will add to the voices of a slowly growing group of like-minded people like Marina Mahathir and the others whose names I fail to mention.

When I was in primary school in the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus, the Muslims had agama lessons, whilst the Christians had catechism.

We were taught that oft repeated phrase — “death to the infidels (kafir)”. My best friend and I exchanged looks with each other; that meant our gang — friends like Jennifer, Susie, Maria, and others — Indian, Chinese and Eurasians. What about our favourite teachers — Mrs. Kong and Miss Hew?

We were afraid for them — will they come to harm, but who will harm them? These thoughts are not impossible in an eight-year-old.

I was more afraid for myself, when I finally plucked up the courage to put my hand up and ask the agama teacher the question, “Death to our friends, too?”

With a wave of her hand, I was immediately brushed into silence and told to read the rest of the page in silence, by the teacher. No explanation. Nothing. I do not blame her. It was a weighty question. But that phrase has lived with me and resurfaced with our recent troubles.

But, I do blame our heads of education and religion, who I feel have a duty of care towards their students.

I also blame our leaders for cowardly refusing to address issues that are contentious. There are areas of conflict and sensitivity but our leaders seem to treat these as hallucinatory, in the hope they will disappear. They are wrong.

Evil thoughts or conflicting ideas should not be allowed to foment in weak-minded and impressionable individuals, for it can only breed monsters in the future.

I strongly believe that the teaching of religion should be overhauled. Even in the early stages of school.

Later, when I went to Britain for further education, my family warned against being influenced by the dakwah movement. There was little chance of that in a public school but at university, I observed that these seats of learning were equally capable of breeding loathing in vulnerable groups of people, many of whom were Malaysian Malays.

These Muslims cluster together, had few friends outside their immediate circle, were confused and had little in common with the British student social scene. They excluded themselves from other students and wrongly assumed that British university life revolved round “sex, drinks and rock and roll”.

The raging conflict within them, between Islam and secular views, made them easy prey for Islamic radicals who gave them companionship, a narrow view of the world and a false sense of identity based on fundamentalist and extremist ideas.

Universities — the world over — need to encourage more social cohesion among different social groups. They also need to increase personal development by promoting interaction with other student community groups, all of which may prove difficult because of cuts in funding.

Muslims, and anyone else, who preach violence and who express intolerant views should be made to realise that public order laws which demarcate between free speech and an intentional call for violence will be used against them. Thus, these laws must be executed without fear or favour. Sadly, this has already been abused in Malaysia.

Why do our leaders not wish to upset certain Muslim constituents? Why do they play politics with extremists? Their ideologies are extremely complex, as we have found to our cost.

I find that my nieces and nephews, who are in their early teens, have limited or no knowledge about other world religions. To them, Christians were only Catholics. They’d never heard of Protestants, Methodists or Seventh-Day Adventists. All Chinese were Buddhists and all Indians were Hindus. Judaism might as well have been a Martian religion.

We won’t have a truly cohesive society if we fail to know how our neighbours live. What right have we to demand respect when we refuse to give it, too?

When these Muslim miscreants objected to non-Muslims using the word “Allah”, they in one fell swoop caused “Allah” to become a dirty word, associated with dissent and violence, instead of all the good things associated with it.

Our government offers too little, too late. Rather than being open-minded and initiating intelligent public discussion, the government denies there is a problem and instead panders to these troublemakers.

The only way to move forward as a nation is to engage with all the religious leaders, including the offensive repugnant ones, through argument and debate. We need the courage to force them to defend their loathsome views in public.

But why are these people so worried? They are the ones wanting to impose totalitarianism on the whole country. The Catholics are not trying to force their faith onto them or their children. The Catholics, like moderate Muslims such as myself, are only trying to make sense of our current societal madness. It is a world gone crazy.

Areas of conflict are dotted around the world, caused by the combination of economic, racial, ethnic, religious and other factors. It would be a tragedy if we allowed our country to join this list of hot spots, where religion forms the basis of civil unrest.

I want a Malaysia free from threats of Islamist extremist views, to see my children and their cousins grow up in a country where they are not judged by others by how they dress — hijab for the girls or white robes for the men, and without threatening other Malaysians of different faith.

I want them to live in a Malaysia that is proud of its unique Malaysian identity.

Bookmark - Part 1

0

Last Sunday, i was agreed to our committee members to do something to raise our youths fund for the upcoming programme. It was "Study Day" programme and we need to raise some funds. So, i have volunteered myself to make a bookmark to be sell during the registration counter open on the Sunday Mass started from this week until Sunday, 12th Sept. I am not creative but i just want to give a try. Today, i am searching for a few Bible verses that can be put/write on the bookmark. Here is some of them that touch my heart and hope will do the same for others which will be having this bookmark later.

  • Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will give you strength, I will bring you help, I will uphold you with the right hand of my justice. -- Isaiah 41:10
  • Place all your worries on him since he takes care of you. -- 1 Peter 5:7
  • Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. -- Proverbs 3:5-6
  • Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. -- Matthew 11:28-30
  • Live peace with one another. Do not dream of extraordinary things; be humble and do not hold yourselves as wise. -- Romans 13:16
Okay, that's it for today. Feel sleepy already. Will continue again tomorrow with the design that i browse through.

................ ????? ..... fikiranku tiba-tiba menjadi bercelaru. Apa terjadi? Kenapa jadi begini? Aku tersilap langkah lagi? Terlalu mementingkan dirikah aku? Persoalan demi perosalan timbul di fikiran ku. Di dalam ketenangan yang aku kecapi daripada Dia timbul lagi perkara lain yang menggangu dan tersentak lagi hati ku. Aduh... Jangan lah kau membuat perhitungan yang salah. Aku masih bersama mu. Aku belum membuat keputusan kerana hanya dari Dia aku akan mengetahuinya. Hmmm... Bingung seketika. Terabaikan dirimu kerana tingkah ku?

Ku serahkan semuanya dalam tangan mu ya Tuhan ku. Semoga perhubungan ini mendapat berkat-Mu walau apa pun kesudahannya. Amen.

Prayer for a Friend

2

At about 10.48 pm, i received SMS from a friend asking for prayer to restore her faith. Only notice her SMS about 10 or 15 minutes later. I am glad that she share about her spiritual journey with me. Even though its only in three sentences. I replied her with two SMS but i didn't get another replied from her. Maybe she asleep since tomorrow she is working. She remind me of my own experience before. When i am 'lost' and 'found' again.

Thank you Lord for spending your time listening to me. Amen.

The Holy Spirit help us in our distress

The passages below are taken from Max Lucado’s book “Come Thirsty,” published in 2004 by W Publishing Group.

Why anyone would pester Hannah Lake is beyond me. If the sweet face of this ten-year-old doesn’t de-starch your shirt, her cherubic voice will. But, according to her dad, a grade school bully tried to stir some trouble. Intimidation tactics, pressure---the pest tried it all. But Hannah didn’t fold. And in the end, it was not her dimples or tender voice but her faith that pulled her through.

The older student warned Hannah to prepare for battle. “Any day now I’m coming after you.” Hannah didn’t flinch or cry. She simply informed the perpetrator about the facts. “Do whatever you need to do,” she explained. “But just know this: God is on my side.”

His Presence

2

How to describe the feeling? Peaceful? Joy? in Love? So much for Him alone... 
Quite sometime i didn't feel the electricity struck my heart. 

I told Him, "I am a sinner".
He answer me, "Your sin has been forgiven, my child".

I told Him, "I am worried so much about so many things".
He comforted me, "Don't worry my child, surrender all your worries to Me."


I thank Him for His presence. 
He amazed me by saying this,  "I am always there beside you, without you noticing Me".

How i thank Him for His love and cares for me. 
I thank you LORD JESUS CHRIST for always be beside me.
AMEN.

Begin the Day

Begin each morning with a talk to God,
And ask for your divine inheritance
Of usefulness, contentment, and success.
Resign all fear, all doubt, and all despair.
The stars doubt not, and they are undismayed,
Though whirled through space for countless centuries,
And told not why or wherefore: and the sea
With everlasting ebb and flow obeys,
And leaves the purpose with the unseen Cause.
The star sheds its radiance on a million worlds,
The sea is prodigal with waves, and yet
No lustre from the star is lost, and not
One dropp missing from the ocean tides.
Oh! brother to the star and sea, know all
God’s opulence is held in trust for those
Who wait serenely and who work in faith.

Reaching the Sky

There's a world out there and I wanna be in it
I got a life and I'm gonna live it
Don't tell me the sky's the limit
There's footprints on the moon
I wanna do my walkin' down the road less traveled
Sew my dreams where they won't unravel
If you play it safe you won't get nowhere
I can't stay in here when there's a world out there.....

Farewell to a Friend - Till we meet again!

Don't be dismayed at goodbyes.  A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.  And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.

Accepting Disappointment in Love

IN MANY OF her novels, Anita Brookner, almost as a signature to her work, will make this comment: The first task of a couple in marriage is to console each other for the fact that they cannot not disappoint each other. That's an important insight. Why?

Circle of Friends - Have a Blessed Sunday!

0

Have a blessed Sunday my dear Family & Friends. Dedicated this beautiful song by Point of Grace to all of you on this beautiful day!

We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands
Will cost you far too much
I spent so many lonely years
Just trying to fit in
Now I've found a place in this circle of friends

In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
That every orphaned soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy
The rest of us will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside
There's no need to pretend
That's the way it is in this circle of friends

In a circle of friends
We have one father
In a circle of frineds
We share this prayer
That's we'll gather together
No matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends

Among the nations, tribes and tongues
We have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in heaven
We will recognize each other
With joy so deep
And love so sweet
Oh, we'll celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends

In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

*The music video is available in my MixPod at the side bar. Enjoy the song guys!
