This is an event held at Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
Around central park.
"
Just for the curious with heart to touch a dog. Open to all race and religion and age. A free event. For the muslims, we will talk about sertu as well as practical on it.
The main reason is to overcome fear, just pat/touch and for the muslim, to clean it properly.
Reason why I am doing this is to find a tactful way if I ever need to savebone I would know how InsyaAllah.
Not to promote dog ownership as this small event is just for the curious. I doubt it should be about anything else.
But if it actually sensitized some individual, do clarify it first before it will be drawn to fitnah."
Personally, I think this is an excellent event although we all know it will
become a hit topic in Malaysia especially in the Malay society.
I read many comments about supporting this event from many Malay citizens, and I really
felt so happy reading that.
There are many awesome people out there unlike what we thought.
I am not a Malay, so I may not have 100 percent rights to comment about this event, or
the reality of how Malays thought of dogs.
But honestly speaking, muslims in Malaysia should educate and train their children to have sympathy
in human beings and also animals. No, it should be LIVING BEINGS.
I've seen kids throwing stones to dogs in my neighbourhood, back in Gunung Rapat, Ipoh, Perak,
Like they've just seen a terrifying monster, walking around your place harming you.
But the reality is, it's just a schnauzer. ARE YOU KIDDING ME.
Lots of kids are around, and parents are sitting there watching only.
Watching their kids throwing stones to the dog.
The main point is, the dog owner is walking his own pet nearby.
So it's owned, it's not a stray dog. GEEZ!!!
How can you let you kids harm beings that got no intention of harming you?
If you throw a stone to a kid, he/she might cry, or even got mad at you.
Same goes to throwing a stone to a dog! Of course it will get mad and barks at you!
Oh my god. Please.
Dogs are "GOD's" creation, it's Allah's creation if you're relating to Islam.
Even though you're not encouraged to keep a dog at home, it doesn't mean you can kill,
abuse, or mistreat it. Dogs are loyal and they are life savers.
Dogs will be there to save you when the cats escape for their lives in a fire.
I see nuts people commenting under the event photo, saying once you have this,
you will have I want to touch pigs event.
Again, pigs are creatures "god" created. Why are you so against it, do you even have a sense of sympathy in living beings?
Is that what your god teaches you?
Sometimes, think as a human being, who is educated, has humanity and moral values.
You will realise how peaceful the world can be.
We need to live out from the "system".
Once you go extreme in religion, you can no longer judge things by yourself.
Hope you will find out what your religion really teaches you.
I know there are many Malays out there who are really kid and loving, always wanted to share love with dogs not only cats.
But they are scared to be judged by the public, criticising them saying they are not faithful to Allah,
saying they are dirty, rebellious etc unpleasant words.
That's why many people chose to hide themselves, not trying to make a chance in the society.
It's the same as other races, when you're afraid, you allow things to go wrong even you know it shouldn't.
Can't we think like a civilised person?
Or maybe yeah, we're not civilised at all.
Malaysia, Wawasan 2020, possible? :D
