freedom

i just finished my 4th block...or...at least all the papers...still have a viva coming...so somehow im free right now..or at least till unis...not that free really...still have to revise for all the blocks -_-
so am i really free? i dont think so...freedom....a strong word...word that has been used for decades by those trying to impresss others...freedom of a country..freedom of speech...freedom to choose religious belief...freedom to choose..freedom of media..freedom of democracy..everything is free.....its so strong that most people are mislead by its true meaning.....
how do we achieve freedom? by being free?
freedom always relates to harmony....and how do we achieve harmony? by restrictions we call rules and law....and how do we have freedom when we have restrictions?
because freedom doesnt mean we can practically do anything or everything without any consequences...and that is what most people misunderstood....
rules exists to limit those freedoms we rightfully own...why?
so that our freedom does not invade the freedom of others...we live in a small world...where we share almost everything....we share one God(for those who belief on monotheism)....of which is called on different names by different religion...and for Islam itself,there's 99 names...
but why do we quarrel upon one name? is it wrong to share?
thats where the problem lies...sharing.....
sharing is caring...yeah right
sharing with those of same objective or destination is a good thing to do....
sharing with those of different objectives, just for the sake of using some things that we do not own to make our journey easier is usually what we called a parasite....
let me give an easier example....
A owns a car....he goes to work to KL every morning...B doesnt own a car but also goes to work at the same place as A...so he share A's car every morning and pay half of the petrol...
but what if......
A owns a car..he goes to work to Kl every morning..C doesnt own a car but has more than enough money to buy his own car but doesnt want to buy...so he sticks with A every morning to go to work but he works at a different place which is not on the way to KL and A has to reroute everytime to send C to work and make A late for work...now this is what we called a parasite...

the concept in this examples are to show whats happening now in malaysia....
Although the name Allah is not the property rights of Islam like the one in the example given,it is used by the religion for thousand of years without any disagreement by other religion....no war has occured before regarding the name used by Muslim to refer to their god....Christianity which exists long before the prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h was borned does not use the name Allah to refer to their god...even during the era of pagan Arab(pre-islamic)they believe in polytheism...and the name Allah was not used(correct me if im wrong with facts).....Christian refers their god as The Holy Father for the non-trinitarian, Jesus Christ as the Saviour and Lord and Holy Spirit as the act of the Holy Father upon us...and the Trinity branch of Christian believes that this three being is actually one which they refer to as The Holy Trinity....
now.....the problem arises when a certain Christian sect in Malaysia wanted to refer their Holy Father as Allah and wanted to publish it in their Malay Bible...now,can u see the resemblance between the current situation and the example ive given? this two religion has two different belief...two different objectives....although the concept of monotheism remains the same, the whole other part of the religion is almost completely different....(dont give me rubbish as to say that all religion are the same in a way that they preach people doing good...the side objectives may be similiar but the core of the religion is different) now why now that they wanted to use the word Allah? everything has a reason....i dont want to judge anything i have no facts on but u can judge it by urselves.....
they are certain muslims which states that it is their right to call their God Allah as it is the same..it is one god..now, can they say that all religion that believes in monotheism is the same? can Allah be called the Holy Father? since the Holy Father can be called Allah...
this is just my 2 cents on the current ongoing situation in Malaysia...
