Bar Council

I understand why Muslims disagree to the forum on Conversation to Islam by Bar Council being held openly for public. However I do not agree with the use of force to put it to stop. Islam, nowadays has been constantly attack from many front. Lies and deceptions are not new weapon, it has been fought for centuries. If once we loose our self to the temptation of using force against words of lies, we'll surely lost the battle. The words of lies become the truth. Islam will be seen as aggressive religion with no regards toward other opinions.

Islam is the way of life, not just religion we practice in certain places or occasions. If you're born Muslim and had a fair of education in Islamic teaching, you'll never regret of who you are. In fact, like me, proud to be Muslim. There are things you must do, can do and there are things that you can't do. Like, you cannot leave or converted to other religion for example.

A person who want to embrace Islam should be told that this is one way ticket, there is no way back should things go wrong or not like what they expects. They should accept it as God wills like Muslims does.

When you die as Muslim, the community or authority has a duty to see that you'll received proper burial. Why would we want to snatch non-muslim body? When the family members of the decease fail to accept that you're Muslim our duty just wont cease.

Because our Founding Fathers know that Islam is the way of our life, that it is not possible to separate our religion from what we perceived in our life, they put in the constitution that no civil court has right over Islamic matter. For 50 years we are happy with it, now it is raised in a manner of our opinion being invasive and disrespect by civil lawyers who is in the first place has no say in Islamic affair.

May be Bar council is testing the water, how deep it goes depending on how much resistance it received. To champions the peoples cause does not necessary be open fare unless it is trying to gain popularity. And what is Bar Council want to do with popularity? It is not supposed to be political, it is supposed to monitor the integrity of lawyers. Lawyer are professionals in making their boss or people who paid them, absolutely right in the eye of laws. Because justice is blind, it all about how good your lawyer is. Lawyers can also become lobbyist, but to let the Bar Council to taken that role is degrading.
