Let's see what our Malaysian members' views are on the issue of religion in their country's politcal structure. Non-Malaysians are also welcome to express their views.

Sister & brother "Proud_muslimah" and "VBP" voted that they are non-muslim?

That is really confusing poll.

Since this is just a poll, I will have to vote Islamist. I hope they are sincere.

Shouldnt you as a Muslim be supporting the Islamic Party since they want to bring Islamic Influence into politics and most citizens of Malaysia are Muslim?

There is a debate in Malaysia about this, some non-Muslim Malaysians think Islamic Law will interfere in their lives but i thought Islamic Sharia is only applicable for Muslims.

I hate polls........

These kinds of polls give black and white options for everything. The world we are currently living in, is not black and white. I am not a nationalist so that option would never be applicable (here comes the however), however, given the choice between a 'just' nationalist movement and a corrupt religious movement what what would a person choose?

As a muslim i am always inclined to say the 'Islamic' movement, however, for a muslim to say i support the 'Islamic' movement we should know what kind of islam is being preached and/or going to be implemented. Is it a 'just' Islam being proposed or is it something else entirely.

Life isnt always black and white, there is just way too much greyness around.

Generally Speaking:
Support neither manipulated-Islamists nor Secular Nationalists. Both love but themselves.
State should be run by Qualified Nationals guided by a far-sighted man of mighty morals so that the Nation moves towards prosperity + justice + peace.
Correct me if I am wrong.

When ever did you disagree with me?

It is anonymously agreed that our levelof understanding of Islam is below par and we have fallen short in general. We have to make a continued effort to gain correct knowledge and share it as best as we can amongst our fellow people.

I am a Malaysian Muslim and I support the Islamists(PAS),because they haven't given any chance to show up their actual ability in ruling a country like Malaysia,and there is no problem for me to accept Islamists(PAS):)

ZAM: OPPOSITION MAY FIELD "PHANTOM" CANDIDATE


PENANG: Information Minister Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin believes that the opposition will have a "phantom" independent candidate to gauge the Barisan Nasional's popularity in the Batu Talam by-election.

By doing so, he said, opposition supporters would not be demoralised if the Barisan retained the seat with a bigger majority.

"The Barisan's victory will also not be seen as a defeat for the opposition," he said after attending a residents' gathering at Taman Free School here yesterday.

Zainuddin said he growing clout of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi was the real reason the opposition parties were staying away from the by election. (:giggling::giggling::giggling: what a joke!!!)

"They are scared to challange the Barisan because of Abdullah's effective leadership," he said.

He said PAS did not have any issues to fish for votes as they have been "CONVERTED" into becoming good Muslims by RTM (Radio Television Malaysia)

Zainuddin said there was talk that many candidates would stand as independents to tale advantage of the election "harvesting" time.

"They thing they can get some money by doing this," he added.

P/S: This minister is so "Takabbur" and his English is the WORST of all Nationalist ministers...

My opinion is that there are two ways to set up an Islamic state;

Socially
Either you don't vote. Because of the corrupt government, the Islamic opposition is going to lose anyway everytime there's election. So what you do? Educate yourself more in religion, teach your immediate family, teach your friends, educate them about how religion must change people into God-fearing individuals, moral individuals, hence, essentially good people. Naturally the people will work towards having the nation governed by truly, Islamic laws. Join Muslim NGOs towards these goals. What is important is attitude, essentially, your Islamic attitude.

Politically
Or make sure you know who's your voting, his Islam, his moral behaviour, his character. If you vote someone who's gonna turn around and belittle Islamic laws, handle corrupt money laundering only to benefit himself and his families to your detriment, in the end you'll going to have to answer all these charges in front of Allah and He will ask you, "Why did you put these types of people up in charge of yourselves?"

If the people really wants Islam to rule over the land, however cheating the corrupt government maybe, Allah will give us victory and make us prevail over oppresive secularist government.

In the end, what is important is essentially your Islamic attitude. If you see on one side, a Nationalist supporting secularist party backed by non-Muslims who don't give a **** about Islamic laws, who generally wants Islam to be on the same par as the other religions, and on the other side an Islamist who can lead people in prayer, really honest, fears Allah, fights for the dignity of Islam and shariah, then you have the duty to support the Islamist, as a Muslim should.

Just because people are muslim doesn't mean they have to think increased 'Islamic influence' in politics is a good idea.

That aside, never confuse the party label with the reality. Whichever party it may be, it's primary purpose is to get it's people into power, rather than somebody else's so those people can run the country concerned in the way they see fit; not to pursue ideological dreams further than is convenient. Ideology is always the first thing to be dumped in favour of political expediency and preservation of power.

I know nothing about Malaysian politics, of course, but I gave up worrying about ideology years ago. I always vote for the people I consider most competent at running the country without messing things up. You never get two 'good' choices and one is rare enough; most often it's just picking the lesser of two evils.

I'm a firm believer in the old saying that "anyone who wants political power should, on no account, be allowed to actually have it"! :D
