Social networks: boons and stumbling blocks to our muslims

As salam and hi..

Malaysia, a country with variety of races and religions, since 1957 has lived in a peaceful way that no external harms may affect it stability. Somehow, for the past years as i witnessed it, there these particular group of people, without mentioning any particular race, are trying to break these bonds off. We called them racists. "You melayu malas, bodoh" thats racist for malay. "You cina pendatang tau tak" thats racist for chinese, well and so on and so forth.

Before i go deeper, lets take some view in what im gonna said..
I have been noticing how much our social networks has give the world freedom to speak, to write anything till the point where the way people think, changes. If u take a point from last decades and this decade, people back then rarely saying things around when they popped out of their mind (well, obviously u dont insult people on their face nowadays as well, else some random punches might fly on ur head) till so many things that has been conceded for too long suddenly getting revealed one by one, bits by bits. For example, long ago muslims dont really find the source of knowledge, they bluntly believed and forced to believe everything thier ustadzs, imams, well, as i was told by so many old folks about how they were really dont have any chance to argue anything about verdicts or knowledge given to them. Now, every single thing and knowledge just at a tip of finger can easily be accessed and can be spread through the social networks. What a scholar said may be heard just in the knit of time throughout the world. People tends to search for reasons and explanation. I must say that this is great for the people themselves. We have come to a period of time where everything is well served, well explained in detail, given freedom to speech and give opinions which are very lacking in the previous centuries. *woahhhh *clapclap

Well, social networks itself has also give our people way too much freedom to speak. They tend to go beyond the border of limitation in freedom to speak. Freedom to speak is undoubtedly a good sign of firm community, socially and mentally. However, they tend to ask very critical questions that could provoke stability of our malaysians, races and religions specifically. When people given too loud speaker to speak, they tend to forget how their brains work. Mouths apparently works better than their brains. Why need brains then? uhuk uhuk..

To the next stop shall we?

Our malays, which by constitution of law are muslims too get affected by these. In what way?
First, they are the one to talk a loud, with empty brains. We spend too much on social networks getting lesser and lesser benefits from it, while spend lesser time on gaining knowledge which quite an asset to improve the community, thus becoming more and more worthless like used top-up cards. What do u do with top-up cards after u used it? U throw it away la! Hah. Okay, whatever.
Have u noticed how politic in Malaysia goes and how our community affected by it?
All i can see is two sides throwing rubbish into one another. Nothing really comes out of it. I dont really want to go deeper than this depth. :D

Second, others words that apparently provoking enough to muslims in general. In Malaysia, we have a situation in which, as day passes by some people questioning about the official religion of Malaysia - Islam. I`m quite confused whether we are too offended by their words or they are trying to say something, which we ignored for too long that we need to do something to fix this. In worldwide situation as u already well known, from the last decades Islam is really biased by the western media. I know that some people may called this bullsh*t but they cant deny the fact that it is the truth. Tell them how our middle east muslims get treated, they dont really care. It is bullsh*t nowadays to see how muslims are still treated as terrorists. I dont know how other people see these particular things that going on in this world, but i sense (with some readings) that there are deep and long lies that are lying inside it, waiting to be revealed and discovered, but i believe Aang will change the world, ok no, i believe that one day we will see angel u embraced today is the devil that u feared for long time. 

Thus, these situations put our community in state of too offended with some spices of explosive character. We tend to lose mind when they speak bad about Allah the Almighty, the prophet SAW, the holy Koran, the prayers and so on and so forth. Did we forget, brothers and sisters? There`s no way that everything that come from foul mouths spreading foul words can affect Allah swt, prophet SAW and so on. Allah swt alone doesnt need protection, then why would we act aggressively in a way that they want us to be? If we really have faith in our religion, in Allah swt, i dont think that it would affect u even a tiny bit. Yes, we also need to be cautious at all time.

Theres no really a definite sentences to conclude of what im trying to tell u in this post, but i think u get the idea and as u can witness it the story gets deeper and deeper and the truths keep on buried away from the point it can be revealed, but my dear friends and readers when there`s a life then there`s a hope! Keep on having faith.

Wassalam.
