reflection

so, lately we've been receiving viral emails that McD is not Halal, hence we cannot consume it.

alright, the certificates of halal is issued so that us Muslims in Malaysia can safely be assured that the food to be consumed is Halalun Toyyiba.

from the story of McD halal certificates being pulled by JAKIM (which JAKIM has responded via announcement at their website that McD foods are halal) to the fatwa issued by Yusof Al-Qardhawi (which mentioned that it is a jihad in avoiding and boycotting all products that goes to funding of Israel).

i know at least one reader (if there is any lah) will go against me, but here are my thought on this.

so long as McD is employing Muslims, then i will at least buy their products. i feel obliged to ensure that my fellow brothers and sisters are getting paid, and have steady source of income
until there is a replacement or substitute to what McD offers, then i'll still patronising their outlets
so long as the food is halal, then i have no problem with it.



on the issue that we should stop supporting corporations that support Israel, have we reflect back at ourself?

have we find the real reason on why they are so powerful?



because as much as they are in the dog-eat-dog world, they are united by a purpose.

for the jews, at least they have the Zionist agenda in mind. and they work together towards it.



us, Muslims in the world?

we can even hardly agree on Palestine issue(s)!



the parties to be held responsible, and for us to vent our angers are not the Israeli, the Jews or the Christians.

it's us. it's the Islamic countries. we are the ones ignoring the plights of our brothers and sisters.

and as i mentioned in my earlier entries, the Palestinian also.

i mean, i would be more than glad to sadaqah my belongings to them.

but will i get the assurance that those money, will not be used in buying rockets, weapons and bullets?



entahlah.



renung-renungkan, dan selamat beramal.



p/s: berapa ramai guna iPhone, Nokia, Sony Ericcson? guna CSL laaahh kalau betul2 nak boikot barang Israel.
