One of the meanings of the word Islam is surrender

“One of the meanings of the word Islam is surrender, and human life is nothing but surrender”, said Dr. Shahid Athar who is a Clinical Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, Indiana University School of Medicine Indianapolis, Indiana, and a writer on Islam. (see http://www.islamfortoday.com/athar14.htm)

I appeal for those involved in the fire-bomb attack on three churches in Malaysia to surrender themselves to the authority. I’m sad and I’m sorry for them but I believe God-fearing Malaysians will forgive them if they turn themselves in because the one commonly shared message of all major religions is one of love. I also believe those involved mean no harm to others because they have been misguided.

Come out now and we will accept you. If you hide, law-abiding Malaysians will forever go after you.
