YOURSAY With Christians at only around 10 percent, Hasan still believes M'sia would be Christianised.'
Hasan beats war drums on Christian conversion
Tholu:
“If we say that Jais (Selangor Islamic Religious Department) has no right to confiscate, to raid and so on, who else is going to enforce such enactments in Selangor?”
This statement alone by Jati president Hasan Ali clearly shows he has no clue on the operation and function of the laws of the country. It alone negates and invalidates all his previous arguments on the 'chaos' a review of the enactment will cause.
Has Hasan not heard about the Penal Code?
I Wonder?: The constitution is the highest law in any country. Nobody including sultan and the courts are above the constitution. Our constitution provides for freedom of worship and religion for all Malaysians.
The sultan shall have the right to govern and regulate only the state's Islamic matters. But the sultan does not have the power and jurisdiction to interfere into other religions' matters. Likewise, the court cannot make any decision against or alter what is firmed in the constitution.
Also any state by-law or enactment passed, if found infringing, ultra vires or contradictory to the constitution, is immediately and automatically null and void and illegitimate right from the moment it is passed. The constitution supercedes all.
Therefore the sultan's instruction forbidding other religions from the use of Allah is ultra vires to the constitution and thus rendered illegitimate, unlawful and illegal by this argument. Hence, this should be repealed.
Anybody if found executing or insisting on executing an illegitimate by-law, which is found to be against the constitution, is committing a criminal offence punishable under the Penal Code.
EvenSteven: There you go fighting windmills again. Listen Hasan Ali, Muslims in Malaysia are not converting to Christianity in droves like Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria claims.
He alleged 200,000 converted but the actual figure is no more than 70 or 80. Muslims know better than to covert as they know if they do, they will be shunned by their community and even their families, not to mention what the religious authorities will do to them.
So stop all this nonsense to make people hate one another.
CHKS: The world today is a very globalised world. Just as I learn a lot about Islam from the Internet, I am sure many Muslims are also learning about Christianity from the Internet. There is no way you can stop it.
Therefore, you just cannot stop conversions from one religion to another. Theologically you cannot stop God's power.
Technologically you cannot stop the flooding of information in various digital forms. I bet with you, even if you burn all the Alkitabs in Malaysia, you are not going to stop conversions.
Not only you are not going to stop, but paradoxically, you will create a sense of curiosity among the Muslims to know more about the Alkitab. What's so special about this book? Why is this book so powerful to convert hearts and minds?
Odin Tajue: Hasan Ali, you produced a fictional video to falsely incriminate Christians. That failed, and so you went on to produce another one, which was supposed to be shown in Malacca. That one didn't even make the news.
You have 'insulted' the very religion you profess to protect. You have no credibility. Only retarded, bigoted Muslims believe and support you.
Kaki Ayam: You can set any laws or regulation for any belief but you can't control people's mind or heart. It is so sad to see our country unity is deteriorating each day.
As Sarawakians, we felt cheated and betrayed by Malaysia. What had agreed during 1963 is now changed. We have lost our resources and now you want to take away our freedom of worship.
Antoine Ross Deliones: The most likely impression that any foreign visitor who has been following news in Malaysia would have on Muslim Malaysians is that they are weak in their faith and can be easily persuaded to renounce their religion.
All right-thinking Muslim Malaysians should speak up loudly against injustice and falsehood to prevent their religion from being hijacked by extremists.
Multi Racial: Hasan Ali asks, “Are we okay to say if the child reaches 18 or 21 years old, the parent no longer have any say on their religion on the child whom they gave birth and raised?”
It shows how little Hasan Ali knows about the law. In the first place, no Muslim parent in Malaysia has a say on their child religion.
In fact, the parent themselves don't even have a say on their own religion as this was decided by the law - at birth when they were born to Muslim parents.
YF: Hasan Ali speaks with zero facts. First he says Christians drink holy water, which obviously was a false claim, which goes to show how ignorant this Hasan Ali is about the Christian faith (no where in history are Christians called to drink holy water).
Now he says Indonesia is Christianised. Hello, only nine percent of the population of 237 million in Indonesia are Christian. The majority, 87 percent to be exact, are Muslims.
And that figure has not changed for decades. So how can a Muslim majority be Christianised?
Geronimo: I am amazed at my own religion. With the Christian population at around 10 percent, Hasan Ali truly believes that the country would be Christianised (a new word in the English vocabulary?).
Wow, such is the awesome power of Christianity.
