Lina Joy

I read the papers today.

The Federal Court has decided to reject Lina Joy's appeal to have the word 'Islam' deleted from her IC in a 2-1 majority decision. She's a Christian but she was born to Malay parents.

I would say I disagree with the court's decision because God loves all of us and he wants us to spread that love to others so that they can know Him as their personal Lord and Saviour.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.

Mark 2:31
The second is this:'Love your neighbour as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.

I do believe than Lina Joy should be granted her wishes. After all, it is God's will for her to be saved. You may be able to imprison a person, but you cannot imprison the dreams that God has for him/her.

I simply do not understand why the appeal was rejected. After all, Malaysia is a country where a person can choose their religion, aren't we??

I don't think there is a justification for this decision at all. After all, this contradicts our rights as Malaysians to make a decision without duress.
