The latest incident about a BFM newsreader being threatened with death, rape and being burnt alive by those whom I assume to be Malay-Muslim netizens brings forth serious questions for this country.
Is this country safe for our children to live in? If a simple point of view is raised against such issue as hudud or even such issue as democracy and clean elections can produce outburst of murder, rape and burning people alive, what does it say about our country, its citizens and our leadership? Where did this culture come from?
I have noticed that the ones making threats of this nature come from mostly Malays who I assume are Muslim. Where did we, as a nation go wrong in educating these Malays? What are we teaching in our secondary schools? More importantly are our public universities producing people of such culture?
I sincerely hope that those who made the threats have never stepped foot in our public universities because if not I would like to ask these Vice Chancellors, what kind of Malay Malaysians are you producing? Yes, they are passable engineers and architects but are they barely passable Malaysian citizens, or passable Muslims or worse are they even passable human beings with a humane conscience? "Apa sudah jadi?" I have been to mosques and I have listened to thousands of youtube ceramah by our so called eminent ustazs and I know that their understanding of Islam is a strong contributor to the kinds of comments made by these young social media users.
Although I feel anger towards these netizens that have made the threats like it was just a “terminator” movie of mowing people down with a big machine guns, but I am ready to forgive them because I know it was our society that have created such a culture.
When the Prophet Muhammad was faced with the persecution of the young people of Taif till his body was bloodied, he stood in front of the angel Gabriel at the command of a host of a heavenly army ready to eliminate the people of Taif, he said,”No, do not do anthing against these people because they knew not what there are doing. Perhaps future generations may accept my message if these people do not at the present time.”
The Prophet had the magnanimity to forgive these people because he knew those that threw the stones and rocks are teenagers and young adults being influenced by their elders. I am afraid, our religious scholars may be teaching a brand of Islam that is very much distant from the examples of the holy Prophet himself.
With this incident I ask Malaysians again… are we safe to raise our children in this country? If not, should we start looking elsewhere and create a much safer place for our children to have a future? I write these words with a heavy heart. I write these words as a concerned Malaysian citizen and as a simple Muslim for the sake of all our children.
And finally, I write these words as the father of Aisyah Mohd Tajuddin, the BFM girl. – March 20, 2015.

When someone question how safe you are to live in your own country, matter of fact, this is something serious to be looked into.
In fact, situation will be worse when you don't feel safe in your own house and when you have no where to go, and where and which direction you shall turn too?
Mostly, in worst case scenario, If anyone, who face this situation in their own place, the first thing they do is to run away because of their family safely.
But, but in fact...... if they were cornered, they will fight back. Their fight back shall be deadly and dangerous. It will be mortal, and shall continue to spread and the fight back shall prolong to next generation.
This is what we have witnessed in many country around the world. Sri Langkan Tamils is one of many ethnic that fought back. Deadly fight back and hatred can last for generations.
Revenge and mentally attached hatred shall move on till dead shall do apart.
Mostly, people who are affected by RELIGIOUS and race base hatred, shall take this hatred till the end of their life.
And so, if we are living in a country with many ethnics and believe, we should be sensitive and practice sensitivity.
But mainly, those who are living in Islamic country or living in a country which Islam is the official religion, we shall be facing this issues. If you don't agree with me, than look into the historical evidence surround you.
Ask this question and find out yourself..
1. Who are those believers is fighting through out this world, by the name of GOD or by the name of religion?.
2. Even in the country with minorities, they still do face the same issue and it comes from the them.
3. Even in the country which face worst economic issues to the extend of no meal on the plate, they still fight for their religious right.
4. And now, Malaysia is challenged by those still in lime of religious matters. They are trying to be religious and stay united by the name of religion but they are intend to make the same mistake which I am looking to be serious problem in future.
I would never understand the stand but I am clearly understand that mankind s are no more can be tolerant when comes to Religion and GOD mission.
