ISLAM IN BLACKEST ERA IN MALAYSIA UNDER NAJIB REGIME: THEIR MINDS TWISTED, MALAYS HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF FAIRNESS – ZAID

Zaid talks about justice and fairness in religion. Since when has religion ever been fair or just? Religion is about what God wants, not about what you want. The God of Abraham is a jealous and vengeful God. And the Holy Books of the Abrahamic faiths are full of stories about the wrath and revenge of God.

Having just recently joined the Chinese-based DAP, Zaid Ibrahim is trying to score points with his largely anti-Shariah comrades. Zaid is actually a good friend but when you speak without fear or favour then even good friends should not be spared. In fact, friends should be reminded even more about the fallacies they hold dear to their hearts if they really are good friends.

Zaid is an intelligent and educated person, which means he should be a cut above his DAP comrades who suffer from a serious case of mental block. A DAP person’s mind is made of stone and once it is made up nothing can enter or penetrate it. It is like the Church in Rome in the days of Galileo, which once it decides the earth is flat nothing can convince it that the earth is round.

Zaid’s 2015 comments (below) was clearly targeted at a largely non-Muslim and predominantly DAP audience. Such comments would attract a standing ovation from non-Muslim and non-Malay Malaysians. If Pakatan Harapan wins the next general election and DAP gets the lion’s share of the opposition seats, 70% or more of the DAP people polled would vote for Zaid as the party’s candidate for the post of Prime Minister.

Of course, Zaid would first have to contest a safe seat under the DAP banner, and win, to be eligible to become the Prime Minister. Where that is going to place Anwar Ibrahim, PKR’s choice for Prime Minister, and Mukhriz Mahathir, Pribumi’s choice, is another matter altogether. But if Anwar is refused a pardon and remains in jail, while if Mukhriz loses the election, then the matter need not offer any complications.

Abraham’s God would destroy the entire world just to punish those who pray to other Gods

In his statement (below), Zaid was speaking as a politician trying to court non-Muslim and non-Malay support. He was not speaking as a Muslim or as someone who knows his scriptures. If not Zaid would have never in a million years said what he said.

Islam is one of the religions of the Book, what we call the Abrahamic faiths. In the Qur’an it is stated that the true submitters are those who follow the way of Abraham. Submitters here, of course, refers to those who submit to the will of God. And the God of Abraham is a jealous and vengeful God.

Humankind is a creation of God. In fact, the entire universe and everything within it are creations of God. God owns us and everything around us. And God decides what we do. Only the right of God and fairness to God matters. Our rights and what is fair to us does not mean one iota to God.

Zaid talks about fairness. Fairness to whom? The only thing that matters to the God of Abraham is fairness to God. We are nothing. We own nothing. We are mere creations. It is what the Creator wants and not what we want that matters.

God made them gay and then asks that we put them to death

We should not confuse our wants and needs with that of God’s. If God says it must be like that then it must be like that. There are no negotiations and horse-trading with God. God’s will prevails and ours is of no significance.

If God is concerned about justice and fairness would babies die in bomb attacks? Would God allow dictators to rule over us, who would then use the country’s resources to fight wars instead of for the welfare of the country’s citizens?

They say nothing happens without the will of God. So that can only mean the suffering in this world is because God wills it. Would you be gay if God did not make you gay? And yet God asks that we put gays to death. Is this God’s idea of a joke?

Zaid speaks from the perspective of humankind. And that is the error of his ways. God speaks only from the perspective of God. And when God says it must be that way then it must be that way. Fairness and rights have to be seen only from the perspective of God and not from the perspective of humankind.

The problem with Zaid is he is looking at things from one angle while God is looking at things from another angle. And that is the reason why Zaid and God will never come to any agreement on what must be done. So, in such a situation, it may be better to not debate God because God has been proven to be sore loser, if what the Holy Books of the Abrahamic faiths say is true.
According to Zaid Ibrahim the Government has lost the Capacity for Fairness

Former Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim today lambasted Prime Minister Najib Razak’s administration for encouraging a Muslim community that “only thinks for themselves” and yet calls themselves “good Muslims.”

Writing in his blog today, Zaid took to task the Mufti of the Federal Territory Zulkifli Mohammad’s suggestion that Muslims be exempt from the Goods and Services Tax as it would be a burden to them since they already pay zakat (tithes).

“The Mufti of course did not say that under the Income Tax Act, Muslims who pay zakat can offset the amount paid from their income tax bills so they actually pay less income tax,” Zaid wrote further.

“By paying zakat they get brownie points for the Afterlife and at the same time reduce their personal income tax burden,” he added, “so the Mufti’s proposal is a win-win situation – but only for Muslims.”

He pointed out that the present tax regime was already unfair to non-Muslims.

“Christians who donate to their churches, for example, cannot make the same deductions from their income tax, and neither can Hindus who donate to their temples, nor Buddhists, or Taoists,” his blog post read further.

He noted a crucial distinction, which was that while zakat was used only for the benefit of Muslims, taxes collected by the government was used for the benefit of everyone, Muslims included.

“Apparently ‘everyone’ isn’t good enough for the good Mufti,” he added sarcastically.

“Soon, perhaps, there will be calls for Muslims to be exempt from income and corporate taxes because there were no such taxes in Islamic history,” leaving non-Muslims to pay such taxes because they lived “under the grace of a Muslim ruler.”

“[T]hat’s the price to pay when you live as a non-Muslim in a Muslim state.”

He chided the government’s Islamisation policy, saying that it has only resulted in Muslims having completely lost the capacity for fairness.
