Without Prejudice

Why Malaysian especially Muslims are so double-standard and hypocrite when it comes to their self interests. When Muslim guys want to marry more than one, they would simply say it’s their rights and Islam allows them to do so. They just simply invoke Islam to justify their act though they do not regularly pray and fast for Islam. Some of them do not even know how to read the Holy Quran properly and yet dare to practice polygamy.

When someone got sodomized, some Muslims want the accused and the victim to swear on the Holy Quran in the mosque. Are they forgetting that we have law and procedures to be followed? It’s a fact that not a single State Syariah Enactment that allow a person who is accused or charged with sodomy to swear on the Holy Quran.

Whether we like it or not, any sodomy accusation against any person must be properly investigated first, then if there is enough evidence, we charge the suspect in court of law and let the court decides whether he is guilty or not. We can’t simply call him and ask him to swear on the Holy Quran. It is wrong and not provided by Islam. Can you tell me a Hadith which allows us to do that. None.

What’s the point of having a police force, AG Chambers, court of law, prison and pardon board if any suspect could just swear on the Holy Quran and then be set free. Are you telling me that these suspects are innocent because they swear on the Holy Quran. At the rate we are thinking, no wonder this world is full of perception, suspicion and prejudice. No one cares to find the truth.

To me, if someone accuse you of a crime or defame you for something that you did not do or its totally untrue. You should categorically deny it and lodge a police report immediately. Then you sue that person for defamation. The burden is on them to prove that the accusation is true. I think the law is quite fair here.

In some cases, most Muslims are full of prejudice. If a young Muslim girl got pregnant out of wedlock, most Muslims would simply curse, shun and refuse to help the girl. They think that the girl has committed an unforgiven crime and she should be left to die. They think they are the prosecutor and the judge. Islam teaches us to help unfortunate people, to forgive them and to give them a fair chance. Even God say He shall pardon all sins except those who is syirik.(infidel)

No wonder most sanctuary, safe-house and shelter for pregnant young girls in Malaysia are managed by Christians or other non-muslim. So when these girls, who are naïve and fragile, eventually embrace Christianity or other religion, the Muslims just blame the girls again. What a shame…

May Allah guides us all.
