He said, quote:?Dear Malay Women in Malaysia,I subscribe to this blog because I once read a post in Yahoo beritamalaysia group that interested me. While we are in the same camp in our disenchantment with our current ruling Barisan, I am disturbed by the frequent mention of "Islamaphobia" whenever a non-Muslim discuss Islamic issues. There was a mention in one of your post, I can't remember which one. The one I can remember is my own post where I discussed the Islamic state issue. From what I know of the glorious past Islamic Spain which was a center of learning and knowledge in the midst of backward medivial Europ...

Malaysia is an Islamic state said Pak Lah!
2007-08-27 15:17:00 Holy Port Klang Free Zone!MalaysiaKini today reported that our Prime Minister Pak Lah has declared that Malaysia is actually as an Islamic state and not a secular state as many thought to believe. He said that after answering a question thrown at him in Parliament today.I?m sorry Pak Lah. I?m just a dumb ?monkey?, ?goblok? and ?karaoke singer? in the Malaysian blogosphere. I?m getting really confused now and so are millions of other Malaysians.With all due respect Pak Lah, I think that it is high time that you clear this misunderstanding once and for all on national television.

DAP as the champion of secular theologies and ideologies on the other hand can provide you with the necessary argument that should echo the voices and opinions of our Malaysian secularists.I?m pretty dam...
