wonder who is missing the point!

The recent raid by JAIS on a certain gathering to raise funds under the AIDS program held in a church got many groups and political parties cooking hot. The issue raised by JAIS was rather bemusing - Christians trying to convert Moslems into Christianity. This episode had surely made Malaysia again famous for the most unfathomable and usurious reason. 

Ohh! and before I take you any further, PROSELYTISE!... have you come across such a  word..If you did, wow lucky you. I had to dig deep into Goggle and Webster to get to the meaning. Phewwww.

Now back. Let me tell you this, I did at some point in my life grow up in a church, but never knew such a Jurassic work even existed.

Now here's the thing.

In one corner, we've a group that says Moslems were being proselytise by the Christians. In the other, a certain group says what JAIS had done is not constitutional. Both strong accusations. And to the ruling government, this is exactly what they had been waiting for - to have two factions from the same creed to go at-logger at each other whilst they sit and watch the show. Couple with that they sent in their media to make it look like an ape fiesta.

Then came the Selangor state government. The MB said what JAIS had done is wrong blah blah blah and put a gag order over them. This really did not go well and many poked their noses in and a bashing session was in display. I need not say more on this. It's all in the papers but ... 

Away from all that cursing, blaming, finger pointing and even brandishing others as kafir, there are things lost in translation that needs gentlemen attention. 

Things like ...

• Moslems raiding churches! Is this allowed? 
• Can Christians raid masjids?
• Can Moslems in Malaysia be converted to any other religion?
• The PM visited the Vatican, shook hands with the Pontiff; exchanged diplomatics ties with the Holy-See. Why isn't JAIS questioning the PM?
• Why do all these problems ONLY occur in Selangor and Penang?
• What has all this got to do with the political parties on both divides?

The whys are never ending.
