Quote "To
my Muslim brothers and sisters, I say this to you. Let us not allow our
faith and our religious beliefs to be hijacked by groups and people
such as Perkasa and ISMA who have fringe and extremist views regarding
Islam in Malaysia and those of other faiths. Close your ears to the
messages of fear, distrust and hate, even when they come clothed as
religious rulings or come from the Friday khutbah because men are
fallible and we know who writes those texts.
To my non-Muslim brothers and sisters, I ask for patience, compassion,
love and acceptance. Open your doors and your hearts to us so that we
may learn and know of you better. I know some of you already have.
Forgive us for our harsh words and actions because sometimes we know not
what we do. I sometimes fear that as humans, even your patience has
limits. Don’t lose faith in us
To all Malaysians: we need to get some sanity back and to send a clear
signal to our leaders, representatives and these people who claim to
speak for us and on our behalf but remain silent. This arrogance is not
what our individual faiths are about. Neither is it about being rigid,
regressive, dominant, tyrannical nor authoritarian."
