Of Positives from Negatives

So much for harmony.

It's about time something like this happened. With all the controversies and ridicule throughout the many years, does it really take all this to only make people realise? Gosh, I truly question the people's reaction time.

It might not seem as big a problem as it is. I mean, who the hell has the power to say that the term 'Allah' cannot be used by anyone else. By saying this, you are indirectly saying that you are as the likes of Prophet Muhammad perhaps, founder of the Islamic religion we all know of today.

First, you give history lessons to us dominated with that religion and its origins. Then, you come taint that very image. You know, this is not a bad thing after all. Giving us Sejarah on Islamic origins just makes us more aware of what Islam is all about. In fact, it made us realise that all this that you claim out of Islam is never part of Islam. Instead of serving its purpose to show Islam, it showed us the real side of this whole belief instead of what has been muttered out of politicians.

Maybe, it is better to not spark racial remarks. Hey, take the recent church arson attacks. Although I am not Christian, this just shows how intolerant some people are. It is just sad I tell you.

Well, perhaps let's take another look at this matter. Are there any positives out of this?

I'll answer, "Yes!"

In fact, there is a lot to be taken out of this. If it takes a few firebombs and wrecked churches to awaken the people, it certainly is worth it. Now, people can see the real side. People can now realise how irrational this can become. You say elections don't matter. Take another good look. First the whole dispute over the word was never supposed to happen. It takes them a whole 16 year period to realise that The Herald used to word and finally take action against it? I mean, come on. Common sense tells you this whole issue is a total ridicule.

Next, for once, this whole issue takes its appearance on CNN. That's right. At least now, the whole world can see it. It may not be a groundbreaking achievement to most of you. But at least, people from the outside world can get to see that, Malaysia is not as peaceful as it seems after all. Even now, foreigners can voice out their opinion on websites and say that this whole problem is a disgrace as well as how Wawasan 2020 can never be achieved if something like this cannot even be sought out. This is just very depressing.

I might not be right about everything. But if even foreigners can take a good look and say all this is crap, then it should be pretty obvious. Gosh, this is so not meant to be racist or anything. In fact, I respect every race out there. It is more like down to those individuals who can commit acts like this that deserve to be pointed to.

Malaysia is a country where many races live in peace alongside one another. I think this has been running away from us already. No doubt, this is every Malaysians dream....... Dreams do come true.... don't they?

Life goes on.
