Examples of the conduct of cohesive politics in the past and present seem more the result of individual efforts than the automatic result of a well-applied system: Caliphs then and political leaders today are individually more responsible for the wellbeing of their people than the system itself.<BR/><BR/>The system does not guarantee that "good" leaders will always rise to prominence--perhaps such is the nature of humanity that despite a perfect system, perfection is difficult to expect or encourage in human motivation. And as a consequence leaders have an even greater responsibility of ensuring the continuity of just values after they have left the scene (which often yields, however well-intentioned, nepotism).u-enhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01433834390929868374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628225241183163294.post-61304172950335216442008-11-22T17:30:00.000+08:002008-11-22T17:30:00.000+08:00I was in London yesterday where I met someone who I could have swear looks like Idris Jusoh, the former MB of T'ganu in Regent Park Central Mosque. However, this is not the subject that I want to share with all of you here.<BR/><BR/>I am more interested in the brilliant piece of Khutbah given before the Friday prayer. The Imam touched on a very interesting point on how Muslim should not retain bad thoughts about the others, and to think positive towards one's intentions in whatever they do. He left us to ponder upon the fact that it is far better for us to think positive but yet we are wrong, rather than we are being suspicious about someone and we are right about it.<BR/><BR/>Think about it, if Malaysian still holds to this sort of resentment and not trusting others just because they might do ‘something’; then, we will never get anywhere. And this is exactly the state that UMNO/BN wants us to be in - divide and conquer method just like what the British did. Do not fall in their trap! Rise above raced-based politics and fight for the right for every Malaysian to live in harmony…zorro tuahttp://www.zorro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628225241183163294.post-51329874497640107652008-11-22T11:24:00.000+08:002008-11-22T11:24:00.000+08:00The moment the Islamist in Malaysia form the government they will point to the constitution. Then they will ask the non-Muslims what do you see in the constitution. Any dream of the non-Muslims playing a significant role in the Islamic government will end there. <BR/><BR/>Now, I am not defending UMNO but at least with UMNO due to their desire to make money they are willing to cooperate with the non-Muslims. In the case of the Islamist, as seen worldwide without exception, they will oppress and persecute the non-Muslims in order to drive out as many non-Muslims as possible so as to create their Islamic "heaven" on earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628225241183163294.post-44189397728397935512008-11-21T00:35:00.000+08:002008-11-21T00:35:00.000+08:00a very comprehensive article i would say. :)djambu puadovichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03663717065091171593noreply@blogger.com
