Of late, extremists from a certain religious group did and said a lot of
terrible and idiotic things. Among
others, they threatened to chop of heads…
According to them, they need to prevent others from ridiculing, belittling,
and insulting their religion.
Looking
at the words and deeds of these people, I cannot help but wonder if they are
aware that their very own actions are actually bringing the insults, ridicules
and belittling that they so hope to prevent.
I am
quite sure that many a Malaysian with some common sense can easily see this. Many of us are concerned… saddened… even
angry. That our beloved country has
become what it is today! We need to know
that we did not suddenly become like
this… The deterioration was a process
that happened right under our noses… We
encouraged it by keeping silent… Sigh!
These
words in the poster above also apply to us Christians. Most of us are not extremists that would
promote hate, threaten people and oppress others. But our lives may not be adequately Christ-like. We ourselves need to do regular alignment
with the Scriptures… so that we do not bring ridicules to our God…
