I meant to write this before I left for Perhentian but got tied up with personal stuff. Now I wonder if I can actually pen my thoughts as my thoughts are being clouded by lots of unhappy situations.
The President of the Malaysian Muslim Consumer Association recently called for the government to ban a movie called…for heaven’s sake, I cannot recall offhand, which is supposed to be a sequel of ‘Bruce Almighty.’ The reason stated is, it will lead to blasphemy and apostasy.
How on earth can someone commit blasphemy by watching a movie? You have to ask yourself one question first. How do you become a Muslim? You must first attest that you believe in the one God and in His monoentity and that Muhammad is his Messenger. So for you to blaspheme is to denounce God.
So is it a blasphemous act to watch that movie? Do people actually believe Jim Carrey is god? Will the movie make people go to a Jim Carrey shrine and pray to him? I wonder now why God gave us mind to think with.
How narrow minded can people be.
Anyway, I got to writing this because on my way to Perhentian a school in Kuala Krai organised a power walk. It was sad to see that the malay students grouped together while the non-malays walked together.
Someone should do something quickly.
