The advantages and disadvantages, the merits and demerits, the traits and characteristics, of Islam or any other religion for that matter should not be used to further our own interests or agenda. Delving deeper, it is highly irresponsible, and not to mention irrelevant, to present specific religious issues as a means to justify our stand on the matter. Though Lina Joy, on the surface, is a matter of religion, it is however not a matter of religious knowledge, scripture or dogma.

Let’s keep it relevant, and if this is done, we all can arrive at a true and just conclusion sooner.

With the Quran, Unlike the Bible there are no new testiment or old testiment and countless revisions by the various churches. The Quran has stayed exactly as it is since it’s revelation 1400 years ago.

If you steal, YES you MIGHT get you hands chopped off BUT there are clear and strict guidelines to follow before an offender’s parts go off to chop chop land! Islamic Law is not as black and white or without moral obligations and compassion as someone as uninformed will claim.

In Malaysia Article 11 of the Constitution permits the Freedom to practice ones religion of choice BUT Muslims are subject to the Syariah Law. As such Lina Joy, born a Muslim is bound by Islamic Law.

Should she choose to renounce Islam she should approach the Islamic Religious Council and file her papers. Non-Muslims who wish to convert to Islam in Malaysia follow the same procedure too. NO she would not be condemned to death just yet though renouncing Islam is punishable by death which even Salman Rushdie got away with! (in this life anyway!)

The Quran says there is NO COMPULSION in religion. If Lina Joy trully believes her renouncaciation of Islam is true and just then like any other person who believes in their struggle she should make her battle and face her critics instead of hiding away and spreading untruth about Islam.

Christian knows the bible is not to be interpreted word by word, so pls check your facts before you spread rumours here.

BTW, muslims who helps other muslims to leave their religion is punishable by death, right? So, do you think Lina Joy ever had a chance?

Matthew 10:34-36
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her motherinlaw- a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.

Matthew 10:21
Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child;
children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.

Luke 14:26
If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and
mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters-yes, even his own life- he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 49:53
I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were
already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

That gets TAXED and also creates a multiplier effect? Every ringgit that gets made by Malays or non-Malays gets taxed up to 27%. Money that goes to illegally winning by-elections and subsidizing your ass and your children’s ass.

You mean huge, rich corporations like Petronas that hires and promotes large majority of Malays instead of non-Malay’s?

I know, you don’t give a shit about non-Malays migrating. “Thanks for helping us develop the country and dying fighting the Communists and Japanese, now get the hell out”. Hell, even well-informed Malays are migrating. That’s the Malay stand – kalau tak suka, keluar lah. Well I think you will get what you wish for. The talent will flow out.

I’m confident of this, because it seems that Malay lawyers can’t even compete using their skills, must use law to help them get jobs.
