Reformulating muslim@Malaysia in Islamic democracy
CENTRE FOR BREAKTHROUGH THINKING
Abusive messages, anti-Muslim comments
It’s tough to deal with abusive comments that keep coming every day. There are regular such emails and comments on the posts. Most of these guys don’t even bother to read the posts and it appears they are full of hate towards Islam and Muslims.We was forced to start moderating comments sometime back when I felt that almost every day getting such comments that used to hurt and unsettle me. Often, they are full of so much hatred that you shudder and think, is this real? How much percent of people in this country hate Muslim and do they really hate us so much? that cyberspace is different from normal world. Here people who don’t have the cheek to say or do anything openly, can make anonymous comments or send emails, and they are a handful of people who keep doing that regularly and makes you feel that there are so many Islamophobes. keeps on telling you every atrocity which believes Muslims have committed No matter how much you think that you won’t give a damn to them, the fact is that everytime you get such a mail or comment, it hurts. Sometimes when it is terribly abusive, you feel why not get this guy tracked and booked for his action.After all, if someone abuses you openly on the street, it is tough to act against him legally but if someone sends you an email or writes an abusive post, it is possible to teach him a lesson that he will not forget.The evidence is strong, the IT [Information Technolog] Act makes any such crime punishable and the sentence is much more but nobody bothers. Sometime you feel you should take the lead and get a few guys caught. At least, this will send the message across. Racism and hatespeak aren’t taken seriously yet and people often forget, but it’s a serious crime.
Sometimes really wonder, what could be the cause of such deep hate?
Today there are bombs exploding and Islam is linked to terrorism. But why was such a similar hatred, 16 years ago or even before that, when Babri Masjid was destroyed and when Muslims were openly abused.Even then, it was not easy for Muslim to get a house on rent (I am not talking about jobs or any other thing).
Islam and Muslims have almost become synonyms of terrorism since 9/11. The fundamentalist Christians led by the Bush administration, rightist organizations in Europe, MALAYSIA and elsewhere and the media, all united to generally dub Muslims as ‘terrorists’ or at least spawn suspicion thereof. Even many Muslim intellectuals, liberal thinkers, community leaders, policymakers have accepted the pretext seriously and have put on apologetic postures in response. Almost like an archaic proverb the myth got circulated around the world that ‘“All Muslims are not terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims”. However, the facts that are slowly coming to light say a different story.Living on One Dollar: The Promise of Good StoriesThe big shift for me occurred when I started volunteering
on the things I cared about after my day job was over.
With 24 hours in each day, even an extra hour a day on
something that wasn’t a financial motivator, but made
my heart beat harder, became crucial and addictive
When the dollar sign is not involved as your main driver,
clutter is removed and your purpose becomes very clear;
it becomes easy to recognize what gives you energy and
what takes it away. I also realized very quickly
what I actually enjoyed doing, and was happy to do it
for free.Now when I hear the term “giving is living,”
I no longer see it as a cliche. I didn’t start living
my”new life” until I started giving and asking nothing
in return. Volunteering will change the way you see
your professional career, your personal life and your
long term goals, I promise you that.Excellance is an art
won by training and habituation,
we do not act rightly because we have virtue
or excellence but we rather have
