马来家长:为何要人家迁就我们?I call it self-pity.

阿兹哈的女儿补习的位置就挂着2幅宗教相框,基督徒补习老师也并未向他投诉。—取自阿兹哈哈伦面子书 
This is exactly the spot where my daughter's tutor sits when he comes to tutor her.

He is a pious Christian. His free times are spent on missionary works. And when he is at my house, he has to sit under those frames.

Did he complain that I was trying to convert him? Or that those Arabic names for Allah and Muhammad would lead him astray from his faith? Or that they would "rosakkan aQidah saya?"

Did he ever request that his sitting be changed? Or that those frames be moved away or at least be covered by a batik sarong?

Did he ask me to "respect" his faith? Or not to "insult" him or his faith?

Well, he never did. Not even a word about those.

That raises a question. Why is it that many Muslims in Mesia nowadays demand to be "respected" just because they are fasting? Why the need to close school canteens during Ramadhan? Why must non-Malay pupils be asked to drink behind closed doors and even in the toilet? Just because our kids are learning how to fast? Well, aren't the non-Malay kids as well?

I don't care whether the minum-air-kencing statement was a joke. That misses the point.

The point is why must non-Malay adjust their life to facilitate us, Muslims Melayoos, to fast?

If that was necessary, why don't we ask our non-Malay brothers and sisters not to study too hard so that we the Melayoos could at least get respectable marks during exams compared to them? Ask them to "respect" our inability to get good exams results? (I am not saying ALL of us are unable lah...so please don't get emo with me here).

Or ask them not to work too hard so that they don't make too much more money than us.

I call it self-pity.
Which is, a pity, really...


何谓“尊重”?斋戒月是穆斯林同胞的盛事,却处处要求非穆斯林迁就和避忌,甚至闹出学校要求学生喝自己尿风波,一名巫裔父亲看不过眼,仗义执言抨击这种歪风。

这名家长阿兹哈哈伦连珠炮向我国穆斯林发问,质疑要求非穆斯林“尊重”他们斋戒的必要。

“为什么如今许多大马穆斯林,竟需要非穆斯林“尊重”他们,就因为他们正在斋戒?”

“为什么学校在斋戒月需要关闭食堂?为什么非马来学生被要求躲在门后或厕所喝水?”

他今日在面子书发文说,他不管“喝尿是不是一场误会”,大家别搞错重点。

“重点是,为什么非马来人必须调整他们作息,来迁就马来穆斯林禁食?”


■“尊重”我们的不足?

阿兹哈哈伦也是大马英语时评界的其中一名健笔,平日常在部落格发表言论。

他又问,如果这是必需的,那何不也要求非穆斯林同学别努力读书,以便马来人能够在考试中取得相对体面的成绩?

“要求他们‘尊重’我们(学习能力的)不足,以便考取好成绩?(我并非指所有马来人都这样,请别责怪我)”

“或要求他们别太努力工作,以免比我们赚取更多的收入。”

昨日双溪大学一间国小闹出风波,有家长报警投诉该校老师要非穆斯林学生去厕所喝水,甚至喝自来水,若不然就喝自己的尿,引起全国轰动,但吉打政府高官强调该言论被误解,声称其实非穆斯林学生喝水时要避违。


■基督徒老师平常心看待

他举例,家里请了补习老师上门替女儿补习,老师是一名虔诚基督徒,空闲时间都花在教会的工作上。而他们补习位置是在窗边的一个角落,墙壁上挂着两幅阿拉伯文的相框。

“老师有没有要求更换座位?或要求移走那些相框?或至少用纱笼遮掩?”

“老师有没有投诉我诱使他改教?或挂着的那些真主和先知名字的阿拉伯文会摇动他信仰?或他会大喊‘摧毁信念’?”

他说,补习老师未曾作出投诉,一句话也没说。

他总结穆斯林的这种行为,称作“自哀自怜”。


■网民:要求尊重是傲慢

这则贴文在短短2小时内便获得近3000人点赞,1200次分享和286则留言。

纵观留言,大部分是非穆斯林网民,他们纷纷感谢阿兹哈哈伦,并赞扬他是理智的。

Sayeda siddeq:“我认为要求尊重真正是一种傲慢的行为,完全违背伊斯兰倡导谦虚的教义。”

Thanaletchumy Krishnan:“这问题一直存在我们心中,但如果出自非穆斯林口中,肯定立即会燃起大火,牵扯到种族争端去。禁食应该是神圣的,而且是你自愿的,并非来自外力强迫。谢谢版主写这篇文章。”

Timothy See Thoe说,非穆斯林还是会留心穆斯林禁食的感受,及尊重他们的行为。

Brian Fong Wai Kheong:“这种蠢事在我求学时期从未发生过。”

Russell Tan:“因为大部分真正的穆斯林都没有发言。”

Anna Koh:“我不明白。其他信仰也有禁食但没有要求全世界迎合他们,这是你和上苍之间的事。”

Abu Hanifa:“帮不上忙但可以分享这贴文,这种事年年都发生,就因为有一些偏激的穆斯林。”
