just minishorts.

1. My faith commands me to love my neighbour, my enemies, as my own flesh.
2. My faith tells me that when I pray, I should close the door, and not make a huge show about it.
3. My faith doesn't force me to do things I don't want to do.
4. My God is a loving God.
5. My preachers, my religious mentors, tell me that we're here on earth to love creation, and love everything in this world.
6. My faith tells me I cannot say things like, 'my religion is better than yours..' and God knows, I struggle a lot, especially when.
7. Things like this happen.
8. And articles like this appear.
9. The tenets of my faith tells me that when such 'persecution' occurs, we are to pray and turn the other cheek. Oh boy, right now, it is such a struggle, such a struggle.
10. Be silent, and know that there is a God.

Al-Islam, you are very, very fortunate that Malaysia claims Islam as the official religion. Probably that fortune has misled you into believing that you and your type of people, can do as you please. Imagine if a Christian magazine, sent 'investigative journalists' into your mosques on Friday, dressed as Muslims, pretending to pray like Muslims, and then coming out to do a three-page piece centred around FEAR and BLAME. What would happen?

In my experience, I think this would necessarily occur immediately: the magazine will be banned. The authors be sent to jail. Your people, many many people, will march to the streets, claiming 'justice', and shouting 'God is Great' in your claimed language.

However, you are also fortunate, in the sense that (my religion is better than yours), because my faith tells me, FEAR is a sin. BLAME is a convenient way to escape responsibility. My faith tells me, true faith happens in quiet confidence. Because of that, you will never see investigative Christians pretending to be Muslims and running undercover in Mosques, trying to protect Christian children from becoming Muslims.

Even that famous 'convert', the Late Michael Jackson, said: 'We are all part of God's big family.'

So why on earth are you so scared?

I pity you, you fearful souls. What suffering you must be enduring to have to resort to such low, and disgusting techniques.
