A solution? Posted: 01 Jan 2014 09:12 PM PST I guess many Malaysians, including the Malays are taking a neutral stand on the Allah issue, which (admit or not) is having an adverse impact on national harmony and stability. Nobody has emerged winner, neither BN nor Pakatan Rakyat. And nobody wants to back off, let alone compromise. Honestly, I am worried. Should any decision is against the will of another, it could easily erupt into a national crisis. What are we doing about it, and are we ready? Court? Who's 'courting' who? And obviously, this is not one of the wise options: A veteran Umno leader has called on a senior Catholic priest to convert to Islam if he insisted on using the word "Allah", saying that this will cool the rage of Muslims and comply with the Sultan of Selangor's decree, reported Umno mouthpiece Utusan Malaysia. Umno Veterans Club secretary Datuk Mustapha Yaakub said they are ready to hold the conversion ceremony anytime for Catholic weekly Herald editor Father Lawrence Andrew (pic). "We are ready to hold the ceremony for his conversion to Islam anytime after he gets hidayah (guidance) from Allah. "We will ensure that he becomes an imam (Muslim leader) and a preacher that is successful and respected," he was quoted as saying by the Malay daily. Ahmad Zaharin Mohd Saad, Jais's newly appointed director, in an interview last week had said that the state religious authorities would draw up a list of Selangor churches before writing to ask them to comply with the Selangor Non-Islamic Religions (Control of Propagation among Muslims) Enactment 1988. "We will write to all the churches in Selangor to respect the law that is in force in relation to this," he was quoted as saying. The enactment, which was passed by the then Barisan Nasional state government, prohibits non-Muslims in Selangor from using 35 Arabic words and phrases, including "Allah", "nabi" (prophet), "injil" (gospel) and "Insha'Allah" (God willing). However, lawyers had challenged the move saying that it was unconstitutional. The latest to do so is the Catholic Lawyers' Society. Maybe, I would agree to some suggestion for leaders or head (clerics) of both religions discuss it at a forum organised by non-political body. Who knows, we could gain some logic out of it!

What a prig! Posted: 01 Jan 2014 10:18 AM PST While Iran has shown transparency by allowing international nuclear experts visit its controversial facility in Busher near Tehran, the White House was still trying to implicate Iran with a 'plan to attack Israel'. How's that? Obama himself has no confidence in the UN-Iran deal, prompting the US officials to 'slowdown' engagement with Tehran. Just a few hours ago in Washington, the administration dismissed a report that an agreement had been reached between Iran and world powers to begin implementing a deal that requires Tehran to limit its nuclear program. The announcement followed a report in state-run Iranian media that a deal had been reached in negotiations between Tehran and the six world powers, including the United States, to begin implementing the agreement in late January. Nope! The US did not like it. Obama will not allow it to 'settle' just like that. Some 'actions' must be seen being taken against the Persian regime. War bitches are at work again!
