You Must Not Be Rude

Malaysia is a free country. I believe in freedom of speech,just like any Malaysian. Its all right to express your views on anything you like. But you must not be rude and insult people.People's race,custom and religion. Recently there has been much discussion about Islamic laws.On why the civil court refused to interfere with the ruling of a religous court. About a deceased who had converted to Islam without his family's knowledge.He died under the care of his wife who was not a Muslim. His widow said,he did not practise his Islamic faith,while he was under her care,so he was to be given a Hindu burial. The Shariah court declared that he was still a Muslim and was given a Muslim burial. The civil court told the deceased's family that it was not empowered to change the ruling by the Shariah court. We feel very sad for the family,but that's the situation.Ain't nothing you can do about it. And then came the armchair critics and opportunistic politicians.Some non Islamic religous people were critical but they managed to express themselves rationally and calmly. The non-Muslim politicians and their supporters were demanding for a change in the Constitution.Let the civil courts override the rulings of the Shariah court.Some non-Muslim ministers even dared to send a memorandum to the PM. The PM stood firm ,there will not be any changes.And the non-Muslim ministers apologised to the PM and pulled back their memorandum. The Muslim ministers and government officers should not be arrogant.Show them the positive side of Islam.Point out where they have misstepped. There are still some people picking on this issue in the internet. Friend,if you do not know enough about Islamic laws or Islam,don't try to be a hero and do not insult Islam.
