Christian Bashing continues

"A planned gathering of a million Muslims here to rally against Christians “challenging the sovereignty of Islam” this Saturday. "
Is this a joke? or is someone making a mountain out of a molehill. The Islam religion is protected under the Consitution, there is law against proselytising, and there are  only 10%  and most of them in Sabah and Sarawak. And the so-called "faithfuls" are afraid of the Christians. Come on, where is your faith? But here again this may not be the issue.
Religion is again being used to rally the Malays thus diverting the attention of the rakyat from the more serious issues of corruption and bankruptcy. And as always, the Christians are being bullied and used as the whipping boys.  
Really, I cannot see how 10% of Christians can rock or threaten their faith. Even Khalid Samad said that "the Christianisation threat is actually a “very weak” one as “the Christian faith is not very appealing to Muslims” and that "the organisers of the gathering should focus on “real threats” to the faith like “racism, secularism and materialism” and find solutions to these challenges.
The intended gathering on Sat.22 Oct is the follow up of the 'raid' conducted by the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais), at the Damansara Utama Methodist Church premises following a tip-off that proselytisation efforts were underway by a welfare group. And with the Selangor's sultan's decree of "yes there is evidence of proselytisation" and "no there is not enough evidence to convict", the fearful faithfuls have capitalised on this to further bully the Christians, even though the Sultan had also decreed that no one would be charged and the matter should be put to rest.

The following statements by Catholic Bishop Paul Tan Chee Ing, sums up how most of us Christians feel about the whole issue. 
"If there is not enough evidence, there ought to be no imputation of wrongdoing – it’s as simple as that!” and
"I would have much preferred no statement at all to one that is neither here nor there,”
And finally, I would strongly advocate that all Christians remember this last statement
“It’s a good thing the general election is imminent, because there seems to be no let-up in this ugly campaign of innuendo and insinuation against Christians, so that the ballot box becomes our only recourse from persecution by vile slander.”

God does not need humans to protect or defend Him

There are people in this world who hold on to the belief that the Almighty God needs our human protection. That is not only a joke but show the kind of faith they have. How can we, as mere mortal man protect the omnipotent, omniscience God. We should not be putting the cart before the horse. God protects us, sinful men, and not the other way round. If that is the case, then we might as well be gods. I really feel sorry for those muslims who are bent on protecting their faith with their human ways, instead of allowing their god to do it in his own way. Why can't people realise that faith comes from the heart. It is well to remember that you can lead a horse to the water, but you cannot force it to drink the water
So those people who demand the prosecution of people guity of proselytising are in fact telling their gods what to do. Imagine that. What will they tell their god to do next?

PM - Pensioners are in tears and wont let go his hands

Now that the euphoria of the durian runtuh of the 2012 budget has abated, let us now get back down to earth and face reality. Undoubtedly this is a buy election budget, as evidenced by the speed the PM took to the streets (in this case the rural areas) to gauge the reaction to his durian runtuh. Peopel say that self praise is no praise. However our spoilt child PM doesn't seem to learn from this, as he goes round praising himself by saying that wherever he went people, especially the elderly "had welcomed him with warm handshakes, with some “not even wanting to let go”. In Ijok, he said, pensioners whom he had sat next to during breakfast had “tears in their eyes” when they thanked him for remembering them in the Budget 2012. My, my, such emotions, and when these pensioners convert the 2% out of their meager pension into cash, their tears in their eyes will be tears of grief. As someone mentioned the 2% increase for those whose pensions falls below RM 600 would probably get him another banana leaf rice. A better offer would be to stagger or tier the annual increase rate, such as giving those below RM1000 , an increase of 6%, above RM1000- 4% and those above RM2000, 2% 
Finally, if the PM is receiving such warm reception over his budget offer wherever he  goes, then he should immediately dissolve parliament and call for a fresh mandate. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.
