Putin’s peace n love savvy genius

How smart is that?! Launching an invasion and calling the invading army “peacekeepers”.

Very smart — both of Putin … and the DAP.

Russia’s Christian peacekeeping mission to save Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin spoke to his countrymen in a special televised address on the day (Feb 24) Mother Russia sent her “peacekeepers” to Ukraine.

Takeaways for PAS from foreign trends

Brief postmortem on midterms:

1. The Divided States of America

Everybody’s saying USA voting and the country itself is more polarized than ever. The red areas have gone redder and the blue areas bluer.

Is Bosnia going to break up again?

Bosnia held its election earlier this week on Sunday (Oct 7). It was a fractious polls predicated on race and religion.

In its aftermath, foreign policy experts are now expecting Bosnia’s Christian half, Republika Srpska, to be all the closer to secession. See Al–Jazeera Oct 9 story ‘Will Milorad Dodik break up Bosnia?’

RUU355: You help me, I help you

Quite simply, Malaysia is split in two.

The staunchest proponent of Hadi’s bill is, needless to say, his party PAS.

The most vocal opponent of the bill to amend Act 355 is surprisingly not DAP but MCA.

The time is now

“Christians must stand up to Islam” — France’s youngest MP

Young patriotic Christians should join the military and stand up to Islam, said a 26-year-old Member of Parliament in France.

Blonde bombshell Marion Maréchal-Le Pen (pix) is herself joining the French army reserves after the slaying of a Christian priest on Tuesday by two Muslim youths.

Poll: Evangelicals flocking to Donald Trump

The Christian right have exported their brand of political Christianity to Asian countries where minority communities are under the evangelical sway. They are a destructive influence on the locals.

Pope Francis gets political with Donald Trump

Pope Francis yesterday slammed Donald Trump, saying “a person who thinks only about building walls… and not of building bridges, is not Christian”. The pontiff was referring to the wall that Trump wants to build to keep out illegal Mexican immigrants from the USA.

The 37-second video below is the presidential candidate’s response to the Pope whom Trump described as “a very political person”. It’s true that the Vatican has been increasingly political under the present pontiff.

Remember the Holy Virgin Mother Mary in the Subang Jaya window?

Below is the image that emerged on a glass window of the SJMC hospital in November 2012.

Christians started praying to it because they believed it was a miracle sighting of Mary, Mother of God.

Non-Muslims were asked to be respectful of those Christians who believed that the image on the window was divine.

Christmas created by taking bits from here and there

The following are place names usually associated with Jesus — Bethlehem, Galilee, Nazareth, Jerusalem. Geographically, their location is biblical Judea in the Middle East. The Bible does not say that it snows here.

Sang Nila Utama and the Lion of Judah

Malaysia has one of the most diverse populations on earth – a product largely of colonial policy, but also of a strategic location between a number of ethno-cultural and religious blocs.

There are few countries in the world where the pattern of ethnic and religious belonging is as complex as it is in Malaysia.

How very ‘Christian’ of Nurul

The Christians always like to say that they love their enemies and will even pray for those who persecute them.

It looks like some of Hannah Yeoh’s loving-her-enemies Christian charity has rubbed off on her best buddy Nurul Izzah.

More displays of Christian love

Following the attack on Paris, more than half of American Governors are opposing the Obama administration’s attempt to settle Syrian refugees in their states.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said the USA must screen out Syrian refugees who are not Christian.

Alvin not dead / rumour of his assassination refuted

Contrary to rumour that he has been shot in the face, Alvin Tan is still very much alive.

#paris – Conquistadors are terrorists too

I do not believe in presenting your right cheek also to be slapped if someone slapped you on your left cheek. This piece of self-defeating advice to ‘turn the other cheek’ was invented by sneaky Christians to fool suckers.

When the victim says “biarlah” although his left cheek is hurting after being smacked, then his gullible attempt at bersangka baik will only give the calculative bully an opportunity smack him again and again – dush, dush!

Pacifism is destructive to the victim and advantageous to the bully.

Fear the crescent, fear the cross

At the intergovernmental meeting in Bangkok yesterday on the boat people crisis, Htin Lynn, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Myanmar director-general told off the UNHCR for politicizing his country’s internal issues.

Htin Lynn was responding to a call for Myanmar to grant citizenship to its Muslim minority – the 1.3 million Rohingya of whom many are stateless – made by the UN’s Asst. High Commissioner for Refugees (Protection).

Why exodus of one million Rohingya refugees is a real possibility

The native Burmese are very hostile to the Rohingya while the Myanmar government takes a hardline position to the extent of refusing to recognize the minority Muslim group as a legitimate ethnicity.

So basically, if Malaysia and any other host country is willing to take the Rohingya, then Myanmar really wouldn’t mind exporting the whole lot of them.

Council of Churches says govt “inhumane”, wants more “compassion” to be shown

The Council of Churches Malaysia is deeply concerned over the plight of the Rohingya boat people and wants the government to stop its push back of them. “It is inhumane to push their flimsy boats back into the open sea,” the Council chided.

“This only adds to the trauma of their already life-threatening situation,” Council of Churches sec-gen Rev Dr Hermen Shastri said in a statement today.

Niat murtadkan Melayu: Christians should stop pretending already

It was Anwar Ibrahim who empowered the evangelistas. However with ketum now in jail, the beleaguered Islamists can start to lift the seige.

With this Malay protector of the evangelical Christians out of the picture, besieged Muslims can also begin the process of reclaiming their kalimah Allah.

Malays need to beat back the evangelistas.

Christian-led group rejects free Quran, calls gift-giving project “obnoxious”

The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism appears to believe the faith of non-Muslims is so fragile (begitu rapuh iman kami) that just by being exposed to the Quran, we will convert to Islam.

The MCCBCHST also seems to think that non-Muslims are easily confused and merely by reading a Quran, our original religious beliefs will be compromised (kami dipesongkan akidah).

Angola closed illegal mosques

(Reuters) – Angola said on Friday it had refused registration to a number of Islamic religious groups and closed illegal mosques because they did not comply with national laws, but it denied any persecution of Muslims.

I really don’t understand why is that video made by Chetz Yusof is considered insensitive. I admit that I can never comprehend why is that particular video would trigger such an outburst to the point she’s now being remanded in a lockup in Segamat.

Penjelasan Edmund Bon tentang tweet ‘murtad’nya

Saya baru sahaja dimaklumkan berkenaan posting ini. Saya juga telah membaca komen Syahredzan dan jawapan saudari.

Chan Lilian’s series of denials

UPDATED: Tony Yew has replied at his blog Can You See It? I like this bit where he said, “I guess its better that I answer them [Malaysiakini] through my blog so that I do not get misquoted.”

Chan Lilian in ‘trouble’ over her Christianity, actually

By all accounts, the crux of Chan Lilian’s contentious tweet lies in this line: “i think all Christians shud march for all the persecution they had done to us and our Lord”.

The police had investigated Lilian for sedition but apparently No Further Action (NFL).
