Just one more thing before I pen off.. because I've enjoyed these videos so much.. I thought I should share them with you all :)
A friend asked me, "Are you a religious person?" (maybe because I've been posting a lot of religion stuff)
Without hesitating, I said, "No, I'm not. But I'm a spiritual person I suppose.."
Curious, the friend asked, "What is the difference?"
Honestly, I know not what it means.. haha. so I just replied, "I believe in the existence of God and the power of God. But as far as institutionalised religion is concerned, I may have differing views on that.. I do not impose my beliefs on anyone and I do not appreciate it when anyone try to impose their beliefs on me either.."
The context of being "religious" in this country expects you to behave in a certain way and manner that MUST satisfy the beliefs of the majority of people. Thus in this regard, I am not at all religious. Anyone who are close to me would happily validate that! :p
I digress. Anyway, the point is when Dr. Asri started being vocal about a few issues a few years back, I started following his views and opinions with interest. Surprisingly, a lot of his views match mine. The difference is, my argument is only based on my own common sense and basic human values (as I of course have no expertise in Quran, hadith and histories) while Dr. Asri argues from both theological and logic sense (which is even better. and he's damn funny too!!). When I was giving up hope on Malaysian "ulamaks" and "muftis" and all other "ustazs" (not all of course)... his refreshing views and opinions convince me that there is hope for a mindset-change after all...
For those who have never listened to Dr. Asri, who now is a famous icon thanks to Persatuan Peguam Syarie Malaysia (PGSM) and JAIS who made slanders against Dr. Asri and got him arrested by berpuluh2 polis (macam la Dr. Asri ni terrorist pulak) but later tak tau nak charge him with what which is sooo bloody stupid, he's a wonderful person with great sense of humour.
Some examples:
1) Isu Zakat to Non-Muslim
2) Non-Muslims in Mosques
3) Wudhu' between spouses
4) Music
There are lotsa video links on the right side of youtube - answering queries and confusion. Quite entertaining. So, enjoy!

dont buy this guy. he's a wahbi. he provokes stupidly. save the suprise, wahbi comes from tanah haram.
people exagerate when they wanna shake off ambiguity. and he did that al the time. the thing is there are room for flexibility. he's rigid. he's wrong.
ppl looking for certainty tend to that. desperation? isnt everybody these days? careful now.
(sigh.. statistical error..)
at least he's bold enough to put up his face and name, unlike you.
since your parents perform hajj at the land of these wahabis (hell, i don't even know what wahabi is anyway. screw it.), i bet their hajj must be haram too.
refute with intelligence at least. character assassination is oh, too cheap! especially when it comes from an anon like you.
sheesh, don't know why I bother responding anyway!
oo.. :) that wouldnt do anoything to anon like me. this anon is the anon in the shakespeare in love.. seen them? "anon!", said Gweaneth Parlow, how do u spell that.
the thing is.. people go oh, its from Mecca. it must be true!
dont buy it. u'll get exausted. burn out.. gave up?
yaa.. wut seems to be bold is actually main-sondo-je-sebab-da-tak-bleh-bla. boleh mcm tu?
