Azan Controversy

I just watched the news and this one guy (couldn't catch his name) was talking about racial tolerance, how beautiful the chiming of the church bells and the ringing of bells for the Hindu prayers, therefore, he reasons, the complaints about the Azan in the wee hours in the morning was uncalled for.

I cannot agree with that statement, simply because, the issue here isn't about the Azan at all! It's about the sound level!

Whether they like it or not, the mosques are generally situated in residential areas, therefore it's only fair that they do not use such high decibels, especially in 5.30 to 7.00 in the morning, as most people are still in bed.

Another thing I have to say is, shouldn't be the Muslims be more responsible in their own prayer lives? Not meaning to offend, but if the Muslims are not willing to wake up at that time to do their prayers, why should the mosque try to wake them up? All I ask is that the decibels be lowered down enough for interested parties who are awake to hear it, instead of jolting everyone up from their beds.

I also find it ridiculous that the Azan is played at such high volumes that it disrupts sleep, regardless of creed or color. Plus, unlike the church/Hindu prayer bells ringing which lasts less than a minute, the Azan goes on for AT LEAST a minute, and in some disrespectful places, the azan on loudspeakers are continued by the morning prayers, lasting over ten minutes. This is a personal experience as I once lived near such a mosque and had to complain to the bilal there several times. Several times because after a short while of lower decibels, it comes back with a vengeance. 

If this was about the other religions and there were complaints about the sound levels, I would be saying the same thing as well. The problem is, the other religions rarely do this kind of things, and if they do, it is because of an annual celebration, which to me, we should turn a blind eye to since it's not on a regular basis.

Last thing, religion cannot be forced down the throats. If they want to, they will find a way to a way to do something about it. As the Malay saying goes, “hendak seribu daya, tak hendak seribu dalih" - If you want something done, you'll find a thousand methods. If you don't want to do something, you'll find a thousand excuses.

Malaysia is a multi-racial country. If everyone is sincere in doing things to promote unity and harmony among the peoples, this issue would not have existed in the first place.

Let's be sincere in doing things. Don't just talk.

Why Malaysians do not take Pride in Meritocracy

Let's see...

1. Our universities are on race quota basis.
2. Our cabinet have many politicians without merit.
3. Our politicians are elected not based on merit, but.....heaven knows.

It's not to say all Malaysian politicians are without merit, but unfortunately the Malaysian politicians we have today aren't the creme de la creme.

The most recent is the comment made by Ng Wei Aik against the MPPP. His sense of professionalism as a Political Secretary was not on par. What power has a political secretary over the city council? Don't try to "do good".

Regarding the same matter, is the professionalism of those who accuse Ng for making the racist statement of "Indians go back to India" and making it national news. Really, if these people have the balls to accuse through "phantom channels", can't these people just grow a backbone and prove to everyone else through their own merits?

Yet, the nation's "leaders" continue to ponder why the Malaysian people don't trust our own politicians and scoff at national university graduates.

Jew haters of the world, please DON'T BE IDIOTS.

No offense to the Muslims, but this email was probably written in retaliation towards some Muslim leaders who wants to deny evil deeds in World War 2.I'm just copy and pasting.

Note to all: It doesn't matter whether you hate Jews, or you don't. Fact = FACT.

SUCK IT UP AND LIVE WITH IT.

When I was a kid, I couldn't understand why Eisenhower was so popular.  Maybe this will explain why.

General Eisenhower Warned Us.

Mother and Child have guns pointed at them

It is a matter of history  that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead. He did this because he said in words to this effect:

Prisoners in torture camps

'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'

After experiments on children

This week, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet.. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

Mass of dead bodies

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the 6 million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated' while many in the world looked the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.

How many years will it be before the attack on the World Trade Center "NEVER HAPPENED', because it offends some Muslim?

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE...SOMEONE HAD TO PAY FOR IT!
