Hypocrisy

1. So today we heard alot on bans towards Muslims.

2. New laws and sanctions created with an intentions to pressed Muslim community.

3. Lies has been spread condemning Muslims.

4. Recently New Zealand lawmaker calls for Muslim flight ban.

5. Which surprises me. NZ so far has been very quiet on Islamophobia.

6. Its very rare to hear NZ making such a negative remarks towards certain community.

7. Well thats from my personal point of view.

8. I had a good experience working with New Zealander.

9. For me they are the nice people and very relax. Most of then opted not to be judgmental.

10. In fact I found New Zealander is the nicest to compare with the other whites.

11. I only have good things to say about them.

12. Well of course I do met good whites from other country, but so far from my experience I feel more welcome with New Zealander and they seems very open minded.

13. I remember we can easily discuss about religion. They speak about theirs and I speak mine.

14. And they are so polite. That is why I said I only have good things to say about them.

15. Back in their country, it was very peaceful and relax. They do not tolerate with discrimination. And from all New Zealander that I have met and work with, they rejects the American and co policy towards Muslims and they have no interest supporting them. In fact they condemn the policy for discriminate the Muslims.

16. Of course that is only my personal point of view from my own experience.

17. As we already know that every advantages there are disadvantages and every disadvantages there are advantages.

18. And in every community there's always a blacksheep. Nothing is perfect in this world.

19. So back to the main topic - hypocrisy. As we always saw negatives headlines on Muslims in the media today, but the same time this people are running for the money of the Muslims.

20. For example: In tourism industry as many people starting to know the way of life of the Muslims, today many Muslims tours was designed in order to attract them. This happen when the statistic shows Muslims community is one of the largest community who got power in spending for holiday packages.

21. Islamic financing starts to be accepted by non-muslims just because they found that Islamic financing system is just and minimum chance of bankrupt. I had an experience working with one of the leading Islamic Finance magazine.

22. At first I was shocked. Surprisingly majority those people who works for the magazines are Non-Muslims. Only slight percentage the staffs are Muslims (including myself).

23. Everyday I got to knock my self up to accept the fact how knowledgable they non-Muslim were. Seriously if you look at their lifestyle you wont believe they are so expert in Islamic finance. And how they fight and against their on financial systems (conventional financing).

24. But for them Islamic knowledge were only practiced limited to that.

25. If you got to chance to see them you wouldnt believe they have such a vast knowledge on Islamic finance. During discussions it always the best part when you can see everyone come out with their own referrences from the hadiths all the way to Quran. Amazing.

26. Sadly they only can see the good side of Islam from financing point of view. I remember asked few of colleagues 'If you believe in Islamic Finance as the best financial system, why cant you accept Islam as the best way of life?'.

27. As usual they make a reasons out it. There are also a few who has benefited from the knowledge and accept Islam as complete way of life but most of them only can believe and practices Islam in financial systems.

28. I also used to work with Islamic bank, everyday there are many non-Muslims would like to take an Islamic banking syetems.

29. And currently the most promising industry - Halal industry. You can see how many non-Muslims invested in this nature of business. There are numbers of non Muslims exporting and importing halal products just because the demands are so big. Well we can find Muslims every part of the world.

30. This is the hypocrisy of the world today. Muslims will only be considered when there is money involved.

Rohingya Society in Malaysia

Salamun Alaykom!

So yesterday I went to RSM (Rohingya Society in Malaysia) to meet their President, Dr Hamid and as well administrator Brother Abdul Ghani.

I've first met Brother Abdul Ghani last year in December. During the first meeting in December last year we were only to get the idea and pictures on the conditions and status of the refugees of Rohingya.

I was informed that currently in Malaysia there are about 30 thousand refugees came to Malaysia to get protection. And that figures given are only based on the refugees who came and registered under the organisation. RSM believe there are more refugees out there who did not register with RSM.

Just a brief introduction of the organization. Rohingya Society in Malaysia is an organization under UNCHR. It was set up to oversee the welfare of the refugees of Rohingya in Malaysia. It was set up in year 2010.

RSM at the same time receives help in terms of financial and facilities from NGO and as well as the Government of Malaysia.

Currently they are renting shop house in Lembah Maju, Ampang for both school and office subsidized by PERKIM.

Although with the financial support from few NGOs and the Government they are still lacking of many things.

We - Oummati, would like to see on possibilities on how could we do to ease their burden. The meeting yesterday went well and he have figure out few ideas on which way we can work with them to give them a helping hand, in Sha Allah.
