If Bolehland continues to drag religion into every discourse, the country will digress into the past and not be able to move forward.
Religion should be a private matter - not one that certain quarters are constantly trying to drag into the public domain, insisting that policies should be made subservient to its dictates.
A lot of energy is wasted arguing on a matter that should be between oneself and the divine, not one that is sought to be imposed on others just so that one feels he has done his duty according to one's understanding of his faith, or what one has been taught or told by those who claim custodianship of its tenets and blindly following without question or query nor verifying for oneself.
How many nations today where religion and the state are not separate, are really successful and progressive? Many of these countries struggle with terrorism issues, endemic corruption and law and order and for some, if not for the oil resources, would have been dirt poor too.
Religion is best kept separate from politics.
So as not to sully it.
For divinity is apolitical, no?

Kluang Town - Click To Visit
Kluang was a sleepy hollow, but is fast becoming a bustling town. You can't miss the bust-shaped gunung Lambak lording over the place and the town is well known for its tv brand coffee powder
Kluang RailCoffee
The Kluang railway station coffee shop, now re-branded Kluang RailCoffee, is well known for its cuppa of coffee and the charcaol grilled piping hot buns oozing with butter and kaya...It used to attract standing-room only crowds. It still does, but the last time I was there it wasn't a good experience for me. The famous coffee had somewhat lost its oomph and even the buns...The shop has a long and noted history being first opened for business in 1938 and the place is now run by the 3rd generation LIm family. I hope the next time I return, the coffee would regain its oomph. Click to read more...
