Was up to my nose with work yesterday. Came in at 5.30 am and went home at 8.30pm.Had to come in again at 10pm to 11.30pm.That was fine by me.
In fact I was more disappointed in the "ruling" yesterday.Those people are for some reason called "learned" or "honourable" but with that decision I think they are neither.Anyway, I keenly awaits the minority report, maybe I can see some redemption for that profession.
Update** Minority Report
When I was small, I believe in 'ghosts' and I was so scared whenever I was dark..After a certain age, it's quite difficult to believe anymore.The analogy could be the same for "Santa Claus".
Imagine, years down the line, you have a mob with burning torches, camped in in front your house because you stopped believing in Santa.You appealed to their sanity but you failed.You appealed to the most "learned" man in your village but you received no sympathy.They all say you have to continue believing in Santa.At least you have to carry a paper that say you believe in Santa, since they know what is in your heart.
I am not saying that God is equal to Santa Claus,no way. In fact I would say that I am fairly religious person, I prayed as often as needed,I am sure I'm honest in all my dealings, I don't take nor give bribes, I don't hang around politicians for scraps and I have never blown anybody to bits with C4 or otherwise..I conduct my life as Islamic as I can..I try to be an example at work, whenever I'm overseas etc, to show people how a muslim should be..
And I am convinced that being muslim is the right and correct path for me..
Back to issue at hand, how does being a muslim, gives me the right to force those who doesn't believe, to believe? Those who have lost their faith?
It doesn't. I can only guide, if they decide not to follow, so be it.
In fact, I should show them what a magnanimous muslim I am and what a strong faith I have in my own belief, that I am not worried should others abandon theirs. To force people the adhere to my faith, just exposes the fragility of my own confidence with my own faith.
That is the gap that our 'learned and honourable' fellow muslims failed to see.
