Helpless??

It?s getting late and I?m having a test tomorrow at 9 am and?I?ve yet to finish my reports that I have to submit tomorrow. Despite all the stuff I gotta do, I can?t help my self from searching about this matter through the internet. Yeah..it?s about the Natrah@Maria Hertogh, Nor Aisyah Bokhari and Nor Amana. They all have their own story but circulate on one important, sensitive issue ?the freedom of choosing religion-. How I suddenly interested in it? Actually I read about Amana case on my bulletin board in friendster and it moved me to find about Natrah and Aisyah.
I?m not here to provoke any party but as a muslim, I can?t help but stand for my religion and felt hurt when cases like this happen. Natrah is an example of people that had been a victim of the situation of parties who so proud to show who?s incharge and powerful. While Aisyah and Amana more or less having the same story of following their boyfriends and leaving behind them their religion. What make the difference between the two cases was Amana was brought to the court by her father who didn?t dare to see his only daughter drift away while Aisyah brought her father to the court for illegally grounded her for sometimes. After all, it was sad endings for all the cases where the parents lost their daughters in terms of love and faith. For me, those three tragedies have it?s own worst and most hurting point. Natrah?s tragedy unleashes a religion riot that killed 5 people and hundreds wounded. Aisyah?s proved that blood is thinner than water when she dare to drag her own father to the court and accused him. While Amana?s made it almost impossible for her parents to accept that she?s off for another religion and family since she?s the only daughter they have and after all the sweetest and gentle cares for 24 years they thrown to her.
It struck me on my very heart to read about them. There are thousands of similar cases out there yet to be solved. Who should be blame for all these to happen? Parents? Family? Friends? Lifestyles? The Laws? The leaders? For me, I can?t find one. But it didn?t make sense to me for our rulers to legalize any request from a muslim to convert to other religion. It is ridiculous and shouldn?t be approved long ago. All I know, it hurt so bad to have things like this happen in our family. I don?t know what the leaders must do to control this but they must think how to sort this matter out soon. The current enactments didn?t help but make it worse instead. There are so many movements out there that coming for our muslims friends and we have no shield to protect ourselves except our faith to Allah and His Words. As for my self, I?m trying so hard to remind my self everyday that I?m exposed to this threat too and I always pray for my friends and my family and me myself to be protected from being trapped into the same tragedies.

p/s Natrah no longer believe in religion, Amana and Aisyah are unreachable by their families. And another very touching story about Hartina from her own father.
