Do you trust Jesus?

Ironically, a person like Ibrahim Ali provides a platform for Christians to become better Christians. Let me explain.

Have you ever wondered why when Jesus wanted to liberate Israel from tyrannical Rome (the government during his time)?

Instead of asking Rome to change, he sought to persuade Israel to change? Jesus felt that without the change of hearts in Israel itself, liberation in any form is impossible.

Jesus, at great length, explained that the resentment and bitterness that his fellow brethren carried in their hearts was nothing short of suicidal.

In fact he suggested that they be smart and read the signs of the times (e.g. in Luke 12:54-56) and not to follow the Zealots.

My Bible, My faith, My church

Perkasa has lighted a fire of religious
intolerance which is burning slowly but
will grow bigger if not doused.

Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali wants to make a bonfire of the Malay version of the Bible that uses the word “Allah” and is written in Jawi. But a Bible is a Bible, whether it is in English or Malay or Jawi. It is still a sacred book and to throw it into the fire is an act of sacrilege. He is encouraging a course of action which is likely to lead to dire consequences. He has forgotten that Malaysia is a land shared by many races and faiths.

Ibrahim has triggered widespread resentment in the Christian community for making such a provocative statement. Most of the worshippers using the Malay-language Bible are native Christians in Sarawak and Sabah. They also work and live in the Peninsula and continue to practise their faith. They have been using this Bible for ages without anyone trampling on their rights to religious freedom. The Bible is their faith and their church. But now come Ibrahim and his Bible-burning threat.

Why no noise from PM against Perkasa?

By Chua Jui Meng

Why is Najib mum on Perkasa's call for the burning
of Malay bibles and why doesn't anyone in Umno
dare to tegur Ibrahim Ali or Perkasa?

The Umno-led Barisan Nasional federal government leaders only look after the financial interest of themselves, their families and cronies. We must wipe out corruption to bring real benefits to the rakyat and country.

For this to be realised, the BN must go.

Pakatan Rakyat is committed to poverty eradication and is confident of raising the monthly income of families who are now RM1,500 and below to RM4,000 in its first term of governance.

Give us the opportunity and chance to show what we can do for the rakyat and country in five years. It is still your choice to change if you are not satisfied with our performance.

Christians not wrong if Perkasa's allegations true

By Joe Fernandez

Perkasa's latest allegations on the Christians, given undeserved space by malaysiakini, are going viral on the net.

This is the first time that a Muslim, Ibrahim Ali, has threatened to launch a Crusade -- Perang Salib or War of the Cross -- against Christians. So far, all Crusades in world history have been launched by Christians against Muslim occupation of the Holy Land.

If Perkasa wants to fight for the Cross, Christians would no doubt welcome it.

Perkasa: Why bother with Christian votes?

By : DATUK TEO CHEE KANG

"IT IS reported in today's Malaysiakini that the Secretary General of PERKASA, Syed Hassan Syed Ali said that Muslim leaders in the country are 'starving' for Christian votes, as a result of which they have to compromise their dignity as Muslims.

He added that, "there are only 9% Christians, why bother with their votes?. At the same time, he also demanded that Christian teachers should not be allowed to teach in national schools."

Ibrahim Ali’s remarks not representative of Malays, says Khairy

Khairy said today that Ibrahim Ali’s (pic) recent remarks are “very dangerous”
and that he should be investigated for sedition.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 — Datuk Ibrahim Ali’s “racist” remarks against the Chinese warning them against attending the upcoming Bersih rally is not reflective of all Malays, Khairy Jamaluddin has said.

(The Malaysian Insider) — Perkasa bersama 164 badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) hari ini melancarkan “perang” terhadap Himpunan Bersih 2.0 dengan membakar gambar Pengerusi Gabungan Pilihan Raya Bersih dan Adil (Bersih) Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan dan memberi amaran kepada kaum Cina agar jangan keluar pada 9 Julai ini kerana “apa sahaja boleh berlaku.”

Is the Sultan of Johor promoting further annihilation of minority’s rights?

P. Waytha Moorthy, HINDRAF chairman

LONDON: The recent statement by the Sultan of Johor in relation to the constitution has thrown to light for what seems to be a veiled support to encourage the neo-fascist movement PERKASA with their antics based on the purported Federal constitution.

The failure by the Sultan to recognize and acknowledge the second limb of Article 153 that provides for legitimate interest of the non-Muslim will only provide credence to PERKASA to continue their shenanigans hand in hand with UMNO against the non Muslims.

1Malaysia not about racial equality, insists Umno sec-gen

By Wong Choon Mei, Malaysia Chronicle

Not only has Prime Minister Najib Razak made a complete U-turn from an earlier attempt to distance his Umno party from ultra-Malay rights group Perkasa, his trusted lieutenants now even say Najib’s prized 1Malaysia plan is not about racial equality.

The latest comments from Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan were immediately denounced by Pakatan Rakyat leaders.
