A sad black history

I just had no mood to write new posts in my Blogs with so much depressing news around. I am glad I deleted my Facebook. I didn't get to read all the stupid, judgmental, biased and insensitive comments from some brainless morons. I am talking about the disappearance of MH370. I have a friend travelling in that flight. I was shocked and sad. I got disgusted hearing all the accusations, berated comments and unfounded theories. I hate to watch TV reports from foreign channels, especially CNN, with their biased and exaggerated reporting. Whatever little respect I had for Anuar Ibrahim, it went into a sewage when he talked to CNN bringing politics into the sad tragedy. What a cheap tactic!
Above all I am disgusted with people who used verses from the Quran to justify their comments. What hypocrisy! They were doing exactly what Islam forbids - gossip, fitnah, jatuhkan maruah orang, spreading rumours, as if they are Gods. And there are also the so called Malaysians who berated their own country and people, just because the Pilot and Co-pilot are Malays. They accuse the Malays as racists but these people are not only the worse racists but also traitors. If a foreign power attacks Malaysia, without hesitation, they will turn against Malaysia and assist the enemies to invade this beloved country of mine. They include some Malays yang tak sedar diri who are willing to sell their souls and land for their own selfish ends. These are the kinds of people Malaysia has. Patriotic feeling seems absent, deep sense of sympathy and support seem sadly lacking.
I feel sorry for the families of the Pilot and Co Pilot who read the unkind accusations from heartless individuals and from insensitive reporting. I pray they have the strength and feel proud of their father/husband/son/fiancee. Alfatihah,..
For my friend's family, I pray they face this tragedy with much strength and faith in Allah. Alfatihah to all.
To the helpers (counsellors, MAS and airport staff and other officers who take care of the families of the passengers) I hope they also have the strength in facing the challenges in dealing with people experiencing trauma. Sometimes in disaster like this, the helpers will get affected and need help themselves. There is nothing wrong with seeking psychological help if needed. Thank you and May Allah bless you all. I am sure a few of them are my former students.  
May Allah shows the way and helps to dispel the mystery surrounding the disappearance of MH370. Please stop spreading unfounded stories and personal opinions.
