Excuse me sir, are you a member?

First of all, this post may trigger some unhappy bullet in your mind because it will involve religion (to a certain point) and also gender (to a certain point also). Well, what the heck. I’m just trying to tell the truth.

Last weekend, a history was made. The first ever Jom Heboh concert was held in Kelantan (watever). The problem (ignoring that crap Jom Heboh because that will be another topic) is that a few days after the concert, there is a ruckus in the newspaper regarding that concert. Who made that ruckus? Is he the one that usually oppose this kind of thing? The answer is NO!!! Surprised? The one that made all the ruckus was from someone who claims to be a prof from a certain local university.

So whats the problem there? The problem is, he accused the Kelantan Minister, Nik Aziz as practising gender bias because allegedly, Nik Aziz does not allow female artist to perform that night. WHAT??!! The prof also further accuse Nik Aziz of double standard because of that incident. A reminder before I proceed: I am not in any way going to involve politics in my blog. leave them to the politiCANS. First of all, dear prof, do you know the reason why Nik Aziz did what he did? Yes, it is because it clearly stated that women’s voice (when used inappropriately) is an AURAT. He forbid them not because he wants to; its because what Allah command!!! If you saying that what Nik Aziz did was double standard, then you have something wrong with your faith and understanding of Islam.

Okay, I’ve checked the prof’s name. Based on the name and his title as a prof, I assume that he is a muslim himself and also old enough to have kids. So, what he suggested was; Let the female singer sing with their tight cloth and lack-of-wool clothing because its what the people want. PFTTT~ Rebutal with a logic, just because its what people naturally want, it doesn’t mean that it is good for them. Look at the bugs, they are NATURALLY attracted to lights, does that bring them good? NO!!! They’re going to be zapped by the electricity!!! The same with the human, there are many things that we want naturally. But that doesn’t mean that things are good for us.

Relating to the prof age and having kids, I want him to think for a second. What if, one day his kids’ teacher come to class and show them a porn movie? Will he be angry by then? Of course he would. I bet his going to report and sue the whole education system for that. But in that teacher’s defense, the teacher say; well, its what the kids want to see. HAPPY?

Lastly, please be aware that what happened in Kelantan was purely because Nik Aziz wished to abide the rule that is set by Allah. He is a person that have studied the field of Islam in depth and practising it in daily life. In short, he knows what he was doing better than you do. He takes his ‘membership’ in Islam deeply into his heart. Therefore, learn first before you try to argue about something. But then again;
