Do you have problems with Islam?Does the thought of Malaysia possibly turned into an Islamic State in the next 20 years makes you pee in your very own pants?Do you harbor some kind of hatred towards PAS, the only Islamic-based political party in Malaysia?Do you harbor some kind of hatred towards Muslims here in Malaysia?If your answer to all four questions mentioned above are all ‘YES’, then the following video is definitely not for you. Kindly leave this post and go and view Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Lim Kit Siang or Anwar Ibrahim videos instead.Tags: malaysia kini, malaysiakini, malaysiatoday, malaysia election, 2008 election, barisan nasional 2008

Great!The new PAS state government in Kedah must take this opportunity to show all Malaysians that good Muslims can indeed manage state affairs far better than Barisan Nasional (old junk).Even though our political opposition parties are united as one, Malaysians would like to see which political opposition party can perform best. DAP has Penang, PAS has Kelantan, Kedah and Perak (not so sure about Perak under PAS rule, looks more like DAP’s) meanwhile PKR has Selangor. Yes, all three political opposition parties will go all out to win and woo the hearts of Malaysians in the next few years.Who will be victorious?Only time will tell, but my money is with PAS. InsyAllah… :-)Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Leaving

Folks!You know all about Barisan Nasional and their crazy outrageous campaigns to wrest Kelantan from PAS but do you know why Barisan Nasional wants Kelantan in the first place?Is it because Kelantan has lots of gorgeous looking ladies (well, Barisan Nasional especially UMNO is known for their ‘gatalness’)?Is it because Barisan Nasional feels that their Hadharian Islamic principles are better than PAS’s who place their faith solely upon Allah swt, Prophet Muhammad (saw@pbuh) and the Noble Quran?Is it because Barisan Nasional wants Kelantanese people to achieve glory beyond glory (their cemerlang, gemilang & terbilang motto la…)?Enough questions!

Salam The salam is the Muslim equivalent of a handshake. A younger person usually offers the salam by clasping the hand(s) of the elder. This is usually followed by a verbal greeting of "Assalamualaikum" (Peace be upon you). A non-Muslim should note that in Islam, physical contact between the opposite sex is discouraged. Thus, a non-Muslim should not be unnnecessarily alarmed if their offer of a handshake is not reciprocated by a member of the opposite sex. The salam often goes a step further between a younger and a respectable older person (parents, teachers etc); the younger person offers the salam first, then kisses them/it as a sign of respect. Peculiar to Malays (who make up the majority of Muslims in Malaysia) is the touching of the left side of one's chest after the salam. The hand is retracted gently after the salam, then placed over the heart to symbolise sincerity. The salam is the Muslim equivalent of a handshake Leaving footwear ou

A pious man, Tok Selehor was fearful of becoming arrogant and egotistical as his name became more and more well known. To avoid these traits, he dug a special hole in t
