Pasir Puteh MP apologises over 'distorted' Bible remarks
Lone_tar: Pasir Puteh parliamentarian Nik Muhammad Zawawi Salleh, it's most appropriate that before you utter the rest, let your cerebral synapses work first.
"I apologise if anybody felt offended, it was now not my intention. What I supposed became i needed to preserve the common Bible revealed to Prophet Isa, with none adjustments," he instructed the Dewan Rakyat.
a certified apology isn't an apology. It simply suggests how arrogant one is.
Lamborghini: Zawawi's so-called apology is surely insincere, not as a result of he feels sorry for offending Christians but as a result of pressure from apartment speaker Azhar Azizan Harun.
in fact, he's adding salt to damage by way of his insincere apology.
1. "I apologise if any one felt offended…"
All Christians and many others have been offended. now not "if". And he became adamant not to apologise earlier even when many Christian groups demanded his apology.
2. "What I supposed turned into i wanted to shelter the customary Bible revealed to Prophet Isa, with none adjustments."
When become the customary Bible printed to Prophet Isa? And who wants you to protect the "original Bible"?
three. Zawawi's apology was issued in line with an order by way of condo speaker Azhar for the commentary to be retracted and for him to apologise.
His "apology" is on account of his fear of punishment by the apartment speaker. What a poor pitiful ignoble representative of his noble faith.
Xyz: An apology the place you insisted you're right is no apology at all. Christians observe the teachings of Jesus Christ as contained in the New testament. That's why they're known as Christians - the followers of Christ.
who's Zawawi to insist that Christians have to comply with the historical testomony and who gives him the appropriate to safeguard the ancient Bible which became written earlier than the arrival of Christ?
His claim that the brand new testament is a distortion of the historical Bible is meant completely to belittle and assault the Christian faith. His apology is tantamount to asserting "your beliefs are nonetheless wrong and that i'm sorry if you feel offended".
The residence speaker should have rejected his "non-apology" and suggested him to issue a proper one with out the qualifications and explanations.
TC Chan: certainly, Zawawi is making it worse. The old testomony is vital to Judaism and the new testomony is all about Christ, his life and his teachings; and Christians accept the old testament as a part of their religion.
I have never heard of the Bible being revealed to Jesus. most likely he can tell us which part turned into published.
MS: The PAS ulama council chief, absolutely a summa cum laude from the Zakir Naik college of Incitement and Instigation, following the anger and scorn heaped on him has possibly realized that he and his tribe have lost the monopoly on "taking offence".
He can also now have realised, opposite to what he advised the association of churches in Sarawak, that non-Muslims have each appropriate to be offended, a right they're going to pastime... now not like the murderous ones in France and Austria but with the restraint expected of civilised human beings.
God inclined, he can also now be impressed to preach to his flock, exhorting them to follow the civilised example of the numerous who had been rightfully offended with the aid of his insensitivity born out of crass lack of knowledge and 'bodoh sombongness'.
OrangePony5652: When it takes PAS flesh presser months to come back out with an apology, it indicates how insincere they're.
an easy mistake most effective needs to rectify within 24 hours except PAS has viewed the political income is more advantageous than saving its face.
MPJY: Zawawi has apologised. I suppose i like him to accept that the Bible he pointed out is not my Bible. perhaps we should still settle for his apology and conclusion this count number.
Ubi-Wan Keledek: i'm wondering what the Muslims would believe if others make some identical remarks about their holy scripture.
You cannot just maintain disturbing others to appreciate your religion and emotions if you happen to aren't doing the same to others. that's why or not it's called mutual admire.
people supporting PAS may still think difficult the next time they vote for politicians like Zawawi. and they are many like him.
Beman: sure, the rule is basically essential. if you don't desire others to criticise your belief, you should definitely refrain from talking negatively about others' beliefs.
Rainbow5: Our GPS equipment won't work if relativity didn't get the relationship between velocity, gravity and time correct. As mentioned above, relativity has been confirmed time and again once again.
although, scientists are not as smug as spiritual bigots to claim we be aware of all there is to know. simply because some thing is called 'legislation' in science, it doesn't become the certainty; or when something is known as a 'theory', it capacity it is unproven.
These are americans who know little or no about science. Take Newton's law of motion or the Newtonian legislation of gravity. We be aware of that they are just approximations to the theory of relativity. simply labelling anything as legislations doesn't make it greater fair than a greater correct theory.
GrayPuffin9604: The premise of all religions is that it is in keeping with belief and faith. There is not any appropriate or incorrect perception.
and the way does Zawawi recognize which textual content is long-established and which isn't? He wasn't there when it became written.
