Acceptable to Society? What?

Prime Minister and the propounder of the Islam Hadhari, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said he wants Muslims to be a group that is accepted by everyone and not a group that has become a burden to society.

While I applaud this statement of wisdom, I can't help but wonder whether it is true or otherwise, that Muslims are yet to be a group that is acceptable to everyone and a burden to society.

I had to disagree with this hypothesi of Pak Lah. Muslims in general was never a problem or issue. But groups of people who happen to be Muslims in Malaysia, moulded by the political-patronage system and dependent upon handouts, had become parasitical and wealth-grabber, are. It's not Muslim per se and not the Muslims that is supposed to be, in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Prophet and The Book - the Quran. They are deviators and dissenters of The Book. These group were influencial and powerful in the sense that they are the king-makers and manipulators of the political system; but they were bred within and a thoroughbred. There will not be a solution neither any turnaround. They are turncoats, blowing with the wind of political prosperity.
