    Police Report Lodged Against The Imam Who Allegedly Made Offensive Remarks On Jews, Christians

    A police report has been made over remarks made by an imam, who allegedly insulted Christians and Jews during his Friday sermons at a mosque.

    In response to TODAY’s queries, a police spokesman said: “The police confirm that a report has been lodged. We are unable to comment further as investigations are ongoing.”

    A spokesperson for the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) said it is aware of the case and is assisting the police with their investigations.

    In a post uploaded on his Facebook page, A Muslim Convert Once More, the writer, who signed off as Mr Terence Helikaon Nunis, said the imam had made the insulting remarks during his Friday sermons on Jan 6 and Feb 24 at the Masjid Jamae (Chulia) in South Bridge Road.

    Mr Nunis also uploaded a video of the imam, who was not identified, giving his sermon on Jan 6.

    In his post, uploaded on Feb 24, Mr Nunis said:  “We should not encourage this sort of thinking or condone this sort of supplications.”

    The Muis spokesperson said: “As part of due process, the individual has been placed on leave whilst investigations are ongoing. Muis takes a very serious view of any behaviour or speech which promotes feelings of enmity, hatred or ill-will between different faith communities.”

    In Trouble Over ‘Bakal Jenazah’ Number Plate (Malaysia)

    Using bakal jenazah (future corpse) as his number plate landed a motor­cyclist in trouble with the law.

    The 20-year-old was arrested during an operation against various road offences and vehicle thefts at about 2.50pm on Monday.

    Instead of the normal lettering followed by numbers, the motorcyclist’s licence plate had the word bakal jenazah.

    Bad taste: Police have seized the motorcycle with the ‘bakal jenazah’ words on the number plate. The owner is seen here at a police station in Kota Kinabalu. (Inset) A close-up shot of the number plate.

  • Shamma Al Mazrui – Menteri Termuda Di Dunia

    Shamma Al Mazrui – Menteri Termuda Di Dunia

    Biarpun usianya masih muda, pencapaian wanita cantik ini sudah boleh dikira besar. Shamma Bint Suhail bin Faris Al Mazrui menyandang jawatan sebagai Menteri Negara Emiriah Arab Bersatu (UAE) bagi Ehwal Belia.

    Cik Shamma, 22 tahun, ialah menteri paling muda bukan setakat di negaranya, malah di dunia setelah dilantik secara rasmi pada bulan Februari 2016, menurut laman Kabinet UAE.

    Di rantau di mana berpuluh-puluh juta penduduk dibawah usia 25 tahun menganggur, wujudnya ketidakadilan antara jantina, kekurangan akses kepada pendidikan, maka tidak hairanlah jika pelantikan Cik Shamma disambut baik, lapor laman Newsweek Timur Tengah.

    Dua tahun selepas tamat pengajian dari Universiti New York (NYU) – Abu Dhabi dengan ijazah dalam jurusan ekonomi dan setelah beliau memperolehi ijazah Sarjana dari Universiti Oxford sebagai penerima Biasiswa Rhodes, Cik Shamma dilantik memimpin generasi muda di negara beliau dan menjadi jambatan antara generasi muda dengan entiti-entiti awam UAE.

    SESIAPA PUN BOLEH TERIMA BIASISWA BERPRESTIJ RHODES

    Meskipun beliau seorang penerima Biasiswa Rhodes, yang dianggap sebagai salah satu biasiswa berprestij di dunia, Cik Shamma meyakini bahawa “sesiapa pun boleh menerima biasiswa Rhodes jika mereka mendapat latihan dan bimbingan bagaimana mempersiapkan diri supaya disenarai pendek”, menurut Iman Ben Chaibah, seorang penulis di laman Sail Magazine, yang merupakan kenalan Cik Shamma.

    Berkongsi tentang pengalaman yang dilaluinya sebelum beliau dilantik, Cik Shamma berkata beliau ternampak catatan Twitter Perdana Menteri merangkap Naib Presiden UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, yang sedang mencari Menteri Belia UAE yang seterusnya lantas beliau menghantar permohonannya.

    “Selepas saya buat permohonan, saya tidak terlalu memikirkannya, maka saya terkejut melihat nama saya disenarai pendek. Saya ditemu bual dan mereka bertanya soalan-soalan yang mencabar. Saya ditanya tentang kemahiran-kemahiran saya dan apa kekuatan saya,” kata Cik Shamma dalam wawancara bersama Newsweek.

    Mengulas tentang pelantikan Cik Shamma sebagai Menteri Belia, Sheikh Mohammed berkata: “Kami akan memberi majlis (belia) sepenuh tanggungjawab dan kami menjangkakan pencapaian yang terbaik daripada beliau dan majlisnya.

    “Para belia mewakili sekitar separuh daripada masyarakat Arab, maka logik untuk memberikan mereka suara dan peranan mentadbir negara,” tambah Sheikh Mohammed seperti yang ditukil oleh laman Televisyen Bebas Afrika.

    MUDA, CANTIK, PETAH, BIJAK – TAPI TETAP RENDAH DIRI

    Pencapaian dan kejayaan Cik Shamma sejauh ini boleh dijadikan inspirasi ramai belia, khususnya di Timur Tengah. Beliau cantik, muda, petah, bijak serta memecahkan siling kaca – suatu gabungan ciri yang diidamkan ramai orang. Namun beliau dengan rendah diri pernah menekankan bahawa kisah kejayaannya tidak relevan.

    Ternyata harapan beliau besar terhadap golongan muda UAE dan beliau mahu setiap anak muda UAE mencatat kisah kejayaan mereka sendiri.

    Cik Shamma menambah, beliau mahu membantu anak-anak musa mencapai lebih daripada apa yang sudah beliau kecapi, lapor laman The National.

    “Kisah di sebalik kejayaan saya biasa-biasa saja, dan saya berharap agar anda semua (golongan muda) mencapai lebih daripada apa yang saya kecapi.

    “Saya tidak mahu bercakap mengenai kisah saya kerana ia kisah biasa sahaja. Tugas asas saya adalah untuk mendengar terlebih dahulu. Saya tidak akan mewakili belia dengan hanya suara dan pandangan saya, saya tidak mahu menjadi (pemimpin) sedemikian,” tegas Cik Shamma.

  • Imam At Masjid Jami’ Chulia Allegedly Cursed At Christians And Jews During Friday Prayers

    Imam At Masjid Jami’ Chulia Allegedly Cursed At Christians And Jews During Friday Prayers

    This is a video, from the 6th January 2017, of the imam at Jami’ Chulia Mosque cursing Christians and Jews. This was during the Friday khuthbah. He did it again today.

    In summary, he said, “God Grant us victory over the disbelievers, God Grant us victory over the polytheists, God Grant us victory over the hypocrites and the people of envy, God Grant us victory over the Jews and the Christians, God Grant us victory over the Jews and the Christians …” The last part was repeated twice as an emphasis.

    This is 2017, and we still have unlettered people leading prayers in the mosque and supplicating as if we are all living in the Crusades and there is a huge religious war. How is this acceptable in the context of Singapore? It is only because he said it in Arabic that most people in the congregation likely did not realise.

    Islam is not at war with people of other faiths, particularly the Ahl al-Kitab, People of Scripture. This is an unbecoming relic of a different age. We should not encourage this sort of thiking or condone this sort of supplication

    ====

    Mr Terence Hekiaon Nunis, the contributor of the video confirmed in an online interview that this was not the only time he heard such supplications made in the mosque and reaffirmed that everything he wrote was factual.

    “It should be noted, also, that this was not a solitary occurrence. It was first noted on the 17th January and then again, on the day I posted this.

    Some people went there for Friday prayers. At the end of the sermon, this is what was recited as a supplication. The first few lines are innocuous and paraphrased from the Qur’anic supplication. The last part about overcoming the Jews and Christians is his own, or likely, taken from some similar supplication elsewhere, and is not from Scripture.

    The word used is “fanswurna” which I have translated as “grant victory over”, but more accurately means, “to overcome”. Translating from Arabic to English is not always easy because there are words which have no direct translation without losing the flavour of the meaning.

    In this case, the flavour is far from benign and the implicit meaning is more than just being better than them, the Christians and Jews, but to dominate them.”
