I find it amusing that a Pakistani born Muslim British citizen is able, ready and willing to head the suit against the British government for the misplaced and systematically discriminated Malaysian Indians.
What is even more interesting is the so called Muslim nation in Malaysia would refuse and bar an entry to this Muslim brother who has been fasting during the Ramadan month.
Imran Khan practiced one of the five tenets of Islam, the third pillar of fasting during Ramadan, considered to be a way of experiencing what hunger is all about, sympathising with the poor and the needy, and thanking god for everything one has received in life.
Seriously, Imran Khan is a true Muslim as during this Ramadan month, besides fasting, he made an effort to bring justice for the hunger suffered by the poor and needy marginalised and discriminated Malaysian Indians. To provide them with an alternative, via the British courts, as the name sake politicians of so called Malaysia, give two hoots on what happens to their fellow minorities.
As a Malaysian Muslim, I am filled with pride and joy that this British Muslim subject is more concerned for the poor and discriminated Malaysian Indians, and has embarked his journey for what is righteous for humanity, inherent during the Ramadan month.
It is shameful that most Muslim Malaysians don’t understand the core teaching of our religion, as during Ramadan, we Muslims, re-evaluate our lives under the principles of Islam.
They are expected to make peace with their dear ones irrespective of their race, religion or creed even though the latter may have wronged them. Muslims are expected to purify their minds during the month of Ramadan. Not only should they purify their thoughts, but also by their words and actions.
It is sickening and sad that Umno plays the Muslims at the same game that was preached during the Dr M’s era, only to serve their own needs as opposed to the needs of the community, as in this case, the Malaysian Indians who have given, provided and accommodated everything for the betterment of Malaysia.
As much as I am a Muslim, my Islamic religion teaches me to do good, and if good is what I can do, it does not matter what race, religion, or creed I impact, as long I can do right for the poor, marginalised and discriminated on my own accord.
Trust me, you will never find such moderated Muslims in the world as you would find in Malaysia, as we are Malaysians. The Muslims in Malaysia are the best people in the world because we are more humane and practical having dealt with our multicultural brethren.
Therefore, it does not make sense for us in allowing religious agenda to run its course for the benefit of our politicians.
It is high time that we Malaysian Muslims listen to the grievances of the non Muslims, who continue to be sidelined in their socio-development aspects rather than yielding to politicians who see no endgame unless their own needs are satisfied, even at the expense of religion.
