HAK EKSKLUSIF BAHAGIAN AKHIR

1. Seperti yang dijanjikan aku telah pun mendapat pandangan daripada pakar-pakar mengenai hal ini. Pandangan mereka telahpun aku dapatkan kebenaran untuk menyiarkannya dalam blog ini. Pandangan pertama ini diberikan oleh bekas pensyarah aku sewaktu di semester pertama dan sekarang ini sedang melanjutkan pelajaran ke peringkat PhD di luar negara. Berikut adalah komentar yang beliau berikan:

This issue is more about whether the use of word Allah is exclusive to the Muslims. If it is not exclusive to what extent the Non-Muslims can use the word Allah. This issue is therefore, legal right and religious interest intertwined.
As for the religious issue I believe it is best if we get the opinion of the Islamic cleric first. The problem is the Islamic clerics in Malaysia are divided in their so called epxert opinions.Each of them took their turn to make press statement, to the confusion of public.
Therefore among the Islamic clerics (both in and outside Malaysia) they must sit together and try to find a consensus of what should be the best stand in dealing with this issue. If it happen in Malaysia it could also happen anywhere else in this world. However the Malaysian position is more unique as we are multi racial, multi religious and we are a cross between secular and Islamic country. Therefore this issue though may not be endemic but it more delicate as far as Malaysia is concerned.
As for the legal issue the solution is not always through the court. We could always opt for other forms of dispute resolution first such as consultation, negotiation and mediation where amicable solution could be found. These alternative dispute resolutions could avoid the sense of victory or the winner take all effect brought by any court decision, as there will be a bad blood between the so called winner and loser. The incident involving 4 churches in Malaysia is an evidence itself that this issue should not be brought to the court in the first place.

2. Pandangan kedua pula diberikan oleh pakar perlembagaan negara Prof Datuk Dr. Shad Saleem Faruqi yang juga merupakan pensyarah subjek Constitution aku untuk semester ini. Pandangan beliau ini disiarkan dalam suratkhabar the Star rabu lepas. Tak dapatlah di sini aku siarkan sepenuhnya berkenaan pandangan beliau mengenai isu ini; mungkin pembaca boleh mendapatkannya melalui online di staronline.com dalam ruangan views. Kalau yang nak salinan fotokopi artikel prof beritahu je kat aku. Bayaran: percuma :) Aku akan berikan kesimpulan yang dibuat oleh prof mengenai isu ini:

All in all it can be said that in relation to the Herald case the general Muslim reaction is too emotional and is based on lack of knowledge. The herald on the other hand, has a lots of facts but no tact. Its argument rely on cold logic, history and rationality but there is total disregard of local context and of religious sensitivities. Sometimes rights must give away to the need for social harmony. We need to find a middle path.
The judicial process should be allowed to continue without any intimidation. However neither judicial decision nor executive proclamations can make this heart-wrench problem go away.
We need inter-faith dialogue to find comprehensive political and administrative solutions for our tatered fabric of inter-religious relationships. There are many painful issue and piece-meal solutions will not be enough. Fair and moderate solutions will require leadership and sacrifice.

3. Diharap entri terakhir ini dapat membawa pembaca kepada konklusi yang terbaik mengikut pandangan masing-masing. Kebenaran yang sejati hanya ada pada Tuhan yang Satu. waalahualam.
