Pendapat: Tulisan Anak Muda 1 Malaysia
“On the very first time aku jejak kaki ke kyuem, agak culture shock tetapi suasana sebegini memang sudah kujangka. Semua U, kolej atau mana2 ipt memang begini rupanya. Secara jujurnya, pendapat saya megenai student kyuem sebelum sampai sini ternyata agak meleset. Student di kolej ini tidak lah seteruk atau se’social’ seperti yang saya dengar, yang saya anggap atau yang dibaca. Sebelum ni saya ingat tidak ada langsung persatuan islam, mesti kaki2 surau mesti sikit sangat, al maklumlah kolej swasta,pelajar A level,nak pergi UK..,..majority pelajar aadalah dari sbp, mrsm,dan minority dari sekolah agama,sekolah swasta dan SMK seperti saya ni.”

” Haq’s question: Is it possible for Malaysia’s future Prime Minister to be a non-Muslim? My answer: Yes. This article constitutes only the personal opinion of the author, and does not reflect the views of any group. I am undoubtedly far from being an expert at religious or constitutional or political issues; I’m still in the process of learning, and no offense is intended to any individual or community. So please do let me know what you think - I appreciate it immensely - and let’s make an effort to understand each other and our country better. As my favourite quote, by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, goes: I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to my death your right to say it. ”
Malaysia`s Future PM is a non-muslim? by Wen Zhen
” Muslims are no different from others. They are equal human beings and they deserve every right to hold on to their beliefs. Sadly, there are those who think Islam is a religion of dominance and control. Switzerland recently raised eyebrows when they banned minarets on mosque buildings. The reason? It is seen as a symbol of authority and the Swiss fear that the Muslims will one day rule the nation if they are allowed to build structures that intimidate others. How absurd is that? What the global population needs is a deeper understanding of the religion itself. If it is the minarets and the headscarves that worry them, then they should learn to respect the culture and beliefs of others first and not obstructing them from practising it. It is amazing how people identify differences very quickly but they find it hard to establish common grounds based on similarities. We dream of a world where everyone embraces one another with no regards or fear of a religion but that day, I am afraid is far from being near.”
Islamphobia by Ananth Kumar
” Then, at the end of induction week, a girl in my group, Umu, came up to me and said, “Do you know that you are the first non-Muslim I have ever spoken to?” I was surprised that one could live 19 years and never venture to speak to someone of a different faith. I realized then, that I too had never truly spoken to a Muslim either, because I had always only seen them, misguidedly, as Muslims: dismissive labels in a post-9/11 world that have led to too many fears and misconceptions.”
