May PM Anwar be aware that Malaysians, whom are Polynesians and not Arabs, are MOSTLY of the Sunni sect faith and not of the Shia sectarian beliefs.
It was the Sunnis whom had fled from the sectarian savage battles in the desert lands of the Middle East, to come to the lush valleys of Indonesian and latter into Malaysia in the 10th Century.
They knew the horrors, pains and sufferings from their own homelands and were determined that such would not happen the same in the rich lands and docile Polynesians, and thus they made progress and evolution, right up till 1979, when the Devil using the Shia sect in the form of the Ayatollahs ruled Iran, hell bent on returning Arabs and Muslims Worldwide back to the stone ages.,,,
The egoistical nincompoop ex PM Mahathir saw how Islam can be misused to gain power, just like the savages in the Iranian Regime,and used it ruthlessly, thru various programs such as proven failures of affirmative actions which is only Apartheid in disguise, and DESTROYED whatever opportunities to upraise and evolve the country of many different races and cultures, setting back sovereign country Malaysia for DECADES, while other nations grew strong....
PM Anwar should know this reality, as he too was a victim of how the religious card was used to pummeled him down and out of political activities, for being charged with Sodomy and Homosexual activities, which in Islam, is strictly forbidden that even a mother would never condone...
Today, many True Muslims had been woken up from the stupor filled by the evil regime of Iran whom had LONG been misusing Islam to gain power to achieve Islamic supremacy, by stepping over the heap of dead skulls of thousands innocent victims.
PM Anwar is dependent on votes to stay in power......who is the one whom should be condemned - the proven devil which is the cunning and subtle Iranian regime and its Hezbollah agents sent Worldwide to destabilize nations, or Humankind trying its best to destroy such evil to save lives?
Religion is good as it provides guidelines for Humankind to progress and evolve, and ultimately, to earn an honest living to put food on the table for oneself and loved ones and if further capable, for society, nation and Humankind. Ever merciful, wise and compassionate ALLAH loves us ALL. We are HIS children and gave us Free Will among many other precious gifts of life...but HE can only help us if we are willing to help ourselves, even on basic aims of survival.
Praying 5 times a day, the preparation of such like washing ears, hands, body, etc, to supposedly cleansing oneself instead of a practical shower, fasting when one gorge oneself with heaps of food before sunrise, and then take MC to sleep in the day, and then gorge again after sunset, growing unsightly beards, etc, etc, are only hypocritical forms and will not cut it....
Had the senile and insane Mahathir as a leader done much to uplift Malaysians of all races lives? Had current PM Anwar done the same but only to use religion as a tool to fool the masses?
