Bar Council Open Forum on Conversion to Islam Stopped by Demonstrators 09.08.08
we are walking this rocky, winding, dangerous road which we know will lead us to a better place. as if it weren't enough of a struggle, suddenly a group of people from the other beautiful, well-laid, wide open road decide to set up a road block on our god-forsaken road.
they shout and scream and call us names: why are you on this road? they yell. our road is better and it is the road we have always walked. it is the road we must always walk! they don't seem to realise that their road leads to the end of the world, with all its pain and its horror and hate.
they just stand in the middle of our road, making a lot of noise. why are you making life difficult? they question. just accept our road as it is. don't change roads after 50 years! (you are making us look bad with your change of plans)
at first we try to reason with them. we exchange our knowledge, try to show them the end of the road. but they don't listen. then we ask them to share their opinions. but they refuse. they say it will only make things difficult. so we sigh, and ask to continue our journey. but they stand fast. they start to attack us.
now we are covering by the side of our rocky, winding, dangerous road. trying to figure out what to do.
and we ask ourselves.
why can't they see?Labels: espial, Malaysia, rants
