The Shah Alam High Court has declared that Mr. Mohan Singh was a Muslim when he died.

Punjabi man declared Muslim after conversion row

If you are objective enough, you’ll have to admit that the court cannot but, based on evidence tendered, arrive at this judgment.

There are procedures to follow if Mr. Mohan had wanted to be classified under another religion. He did not take the trouble to do it. His fault is his family’s sorrow.


Having said the above, my perception about the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) is that it seems to consist of shallow, narrow, semi-intelligent people.

Let me explain.


If Mohan is a genuine Muslim, his soul is with the Almighty (of the Muslim religion). Burying him as a Muslim or a Sikh will not change that fact one iota.

If Mohan is not a genuine Muslim (as attested to by his family), burying him as a Muslim will not bring him any closer to the Almighty (of the Muslim religion).

So, what has MAIS achieved with its “victory”?
It has stirred up resentment of the sikh community against Islam and Muslims in general.

Yes, this is now more than just an issue of religion now. It is perceived as an issue of MAIS or the Muslim majority running roughshod over minority groups.

Every body-snatching that had occurred (or will occur), did little except to inflame or incite the particular minority group against Islam. Making them totally resistant to any teaching about Islam.

So far, there has been body-snatching involving the Chinese, Indians and the Sikhs. Consider the grounds of bad-will it has invoked.

So, MAIS, is it worth it?

Remember: people sees Islam by the way its devotees walk, not the way they talk.


Now excuse me while I go check my IC to make sure I have not been MAISed-converted…

Crap!
