A lesson to learn

Lets talk about this guy. His name is Geert Wilders and he is an MP in Netherlands. He has called for ban on the Quran – which is a holy book for the Muslims. The reason for the call of the ban is because he has claimed that -

“the Quran “call on Muslims to oppress, persecute or kill Christians, Jews, dissidents and non-believers, to beat and rape women and to establish an Islamic state by force”.

He even added on to say these -

“Ban this wretched book like Mein Kampf is banned! Send a signal to Jami’s attackers and other Islamic radicals that the Quran cannot be used in the Netherlands as an inspiration or an excuse for violence,”

and

“I am fed up with Islam in the Netherlands: no more Muslim immigrants allowed. I am fed up with the worship of Allah and Muhammad in the Netherlands: no more mosques,”

(Source is from http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/FAEC4703-83E2-44DA-9DA4-1A7702C354C1.htm?FRAMELESS=true&NRNODEGUID=%7bFAEC4703-83E2-44DA-9DA4-1A7702C354C1%7d)

Now let me add my 2cents in this matter.

First of all, does Geert Wilders even know a single Arabic word to even read the Quran??? I can bet you, gurantee you and am 100% sure that he does not. Because from what i’ve known and learned, everything he had said about the Quran is the opposite.

And finally, about not wanting anymore Muslim immigrants and condemning the religion is just the same as discouraging human rights and their freedom to practice any religion they want. This time, he will only condemn Islam. But what if one day, he finally decided to condemn all other religions.

So, my advise to people who wants to get to know a certain religion. Do not go for any bullshit sources, like the media, for information or knowledge of that certain religion. Geert Wilders has made claims and accusations without investigating anything deeper. For example, if you want to know more about christianity, you read the bible and talk to a priest.And if you want to know more about Islam, you read the Arabic Quran and talk to a certified Ustadz/Ustadzah(something like a priest). That way, you get the right sources and the right information.

P/S. Reasons i am blogging about this are because i want people to stop stereotyping each

other, stop discriminating and try to understand others cultures. There are many people like Geert Wilders already existing in this world. Adding to that number would be the end of worldpeace. I’m speaking to myself before i speak to anyone else….

The End.
