When we made any error in our actions, problems comes. Problem comes as a consequence of our wrong actions. When we correct our action then problem will be solved. Allah gives problems and none can give problems except Allah. Allah gives problems when we made wrong decision and wrong actions .When we made any decision, make sure that the decision is loved by Allah. When we simply make decision because we think we are in the position to make any decision and we make decision as we likes then we are wrong. Making good decision is not a simple work. Our decision has to be in line with what Allah likes. When we make decision against the wishes of Allah then problems comes. When we try to solve the problem by making another wrong decision then other problems comes. Problems will continue to come as long as we continue to make wrong decision and wrong actions. We must understand that wrong decisions and wrong action leads to problems. When problems comes we cannot solved it by making another wrong decision and action but we should revert the wrong decision to the right decision and the wrong action to good actions.
The burning of the eight churches is a wrong action done by people who does not know how to solve the problems except to follow their emotions. The peoples who burn the churches certainly feel very angry with the wrong decision taken by the court that the Christians can use the word Allah instead of God. The wrong decision taken by the court judge who happens to be non Muslims leads to the wrong actions of the public. The wrong decision leads to problems. When you are a court judge it does not means you will always make correct decision at all times. The decision made by the court judge is not related to the problems of an individual but it is related to the religions embraced by billions of people. Certainly the court judge has acted beyond its capacity and ability. When problems involving religion is taken to the courts then problems comes. We cannot give the court the power to decide matters related to religion and other sensitive matters. The court is not meant to solve all problems. Most of the judges are not competent to deal with religious issues and generally they themselves are not religious and certainly when they try to deal with religions they will make wrong decision
In my opinion the decision made by the court judge that Christians can use the word Allah instead of God is wrong and it is beyond their jurisdictions to do that. As a result of wrong decision comes the wrong action. Wrong decision leads to wrong action. Both are wrong and the government cannot put the blame only to the simple people who acted out of anger and burned the churches. When we are stress we act abnormally. We admit that the burning of churches is a wrong action but what about the wrong decision taken by the court judge that leads to the wrong actions. When the wrong action is done by the simple people we condemn it and we want to punish them severely. Do we think that the Muslims should not have any feeling of anger when Allah has been ridiculed to have a son name Isa or Jesus? What is the right of the Christians to ridiculed Allah that have created and nourished them? Allah cannot be ridiculed by anyone and to those who love Allah will certainly get angry when Allah is said to have a son. Allah is one and He has no sons and Allah has no associate with anyone
To solve the problems that arise from the wrong decision is to revert back the decision made by the court judge. Everyone make mistakes including the judges. Even Prophets makes mistake and what more judges. We should admit that the decision is a mistake. In case the decision is correct why there are problems. We should admit that we make mistakes. When we admit that we make mistake then the situations becomes cool. When the Christians ask the Muslims for forgiveness then the situations becomes even cooler. Can the Christians do these? Are not the Christians believes that they should even forgive their enemies. Are not Christians believed that they should love their enemies? The Muslims are not the enemies of the Chritians.We believe in the same God except we have different name. It is difficult to ask for forgiveness. When we are wrong we ask for forgiveness we are good person. When we are not wrong we ask for forgiveness we are great person. In both situations when we ask for forgiveness we are in the better side of the story. We do not lose when we acts as Allah wishes. When we acts according to the wishes of Allah our problem will be solved. If we acts according to our own wishes and we want to use the Internal Security Acts in order to solve our problem then more problems will comes. If the Christians take the negative action of burning the mosque then the problems will become even more gigantic.
