    Islamic Renaissance Front: Deport Zakir Naik For The Sake Of Malaysians

    Malay-Muslim scholars and thinkers regrouped under the Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF) are not in favor of the presence of Islamic preacher Zakir Naik in Malaysia, and his involvement in local political matters.

    In a long article entitled Zakir Naik’s Appeal and the Quagmire of Inter-Religious Relations in Malaysia published on June 17, 2016, by Singaporean based interfaith group Left Right and Center creator Mohamed Imran Mohamed Taib.

    In the article, Mohamed Imran explained the reasons why Zakir is diverting from the real issues of ‘comparative religion’ debates, into that of a politically charged engagement in Malaysia.

    He said Zakir’s presence in Malaysia may have bad fallout on the country’s religious harmony.

    He urged for the replacement of the ‘confrontational’ religious education with one that builds approaches, reconcile and create a sense of respect for each other, to accept diversity and difference. and the desire to jointly pursue the common good in a spirit of peace, justice and equality between religious and non-religious communities.

    This with the desire to jointly pursue the common good in a spirit of peace, justice and equality between religious and non-religious communities.

    “While politics can often derail this process, it is important to work towards building a community that can fight the tide effort to seed the dispute.

    He said these actions may not be carried out by outright prohibition, which would instantly make them martyrs in religion classes and strengthen the “conspiracy theory” against Islam.

    “In contrast is the strong effort to show that the relationship between religion will be harmed if Zakir Naik is left unchecked.

    Raja Bomoh Sorry Not Sorry, Claimed Bizarre Rituals Carried Out Under Orders

    Ibrahim Mat Zin courted international stardom when he attempted to track the missing MAS aircraft MH370 with a pair of bamboo binoculars and coconuts.

    His antics at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) had left Malaysian authorities red-faced.

    Since then, the self-styled “raja bomoh” or “king of shamans” has appeared at various places, including outside the Sungai Buloh prison, where he performed a ritual to protect incarcerated former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

    However, Ibrahim has repented and apologised to all Malaysians, both Muslims and non-Muslims, for his stunts.

    The 66-year-old, who is often decked in a suit, also claimed that certain individuals, whom he cannot name, had ordered him to perform the rituals.

  • Pilgrims To Fly In Style With Malaysia Airlines’ Six Haj Charter Jets

    Pilgrims To Fly In Style With Malaysia Airlines’ Six Haj Charter Jets

    Malaysia Airlines Bhd’s (MAB) chief executive Peter Bellew has revealed more details on the flag carrier’s plan to offer charter flights for Muslims to perform the Haj and Umrah pilgrimages in Saudi Arabia.

    In an interview with CNN Money, Bellew said six Airbus A380 jetliners will be retired from service and refurbished to include prayer areas and ablution rooms for its passengers.

    “I think this will be the greatest turnaround in the history of aviation and maybe even of any business,” Bellew was quoted saying.

    Bellew said the jumbo jets will carry 715 passengers, compared to 525 people in the usual three-class configuration or 853 in an all-economy class configuration.

    “We are trying to capture 5 to 6 per cent of the global market, which is growing all the time,” said Bellew, a former executive at low-cost Irish carrier Ryanair.

    “People save to go to this for up to 30 years, and we’ve got great interest in the product already.”

    In Malaysia, most Muslims fund their pilgrimages using deposits in Lembaga Tabung Haji, and adhere to a national quota imposed by the Saudi kingdom. The wait could take decades before they actually perform the pilgrimage.

    Last month, Bellew said MAB could form a new airline to serve the Haj and Umrah charter market.

    “Interviews for key positions, for this airline, have already been initiated with plans underway with Airbus to increase the seat capacity to 720 seats on aircraft,” he told state news agency Bernama.

    The airline said it recorded a stronger performance in the fourth quarter of last year on the back of higher bookings and driven by a greater focus on the premium business traveller as well as all-inclusive economy fares.

  • Muslim Teen Wins Right To Box In Hijab

    Muslim Teen Wins Right To Box In Hijab

    Amaiya Zafar, a Muslim teen boxer from Minnesota, has won the right to compete in the ring in the US while also adhering to her religious beliefs that require her to cover her arms and legs.

    “This is a big step,” her coach, Nathaniel Haile, said Thursday as cited by The Star Tribune. “She’s put a lot of labor into this. She earned the right to showcase her skills, and I’m happy for her. But it’s just the first step in letting her achieve her dreams.”

     

     

    While this is a significant milestone in her fledgling career, the ambitious 16-year-old has many battles ahead of her both in and outside the ring.

    Her first sanctioned bout is scheduled to take place later this month on April 29 at the Spring Fling Amateur Boxing match in Minneapolis, but her right to compete extends only as far as the US border, resigning her to competing on the national stage for the time being.

     

    Zafar has set her sights higher, however, and in order to reach her stated goal of competing at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo she will have to spar with AIBA, the international boxing organization, for the right to compete in her modest attire.

    “We welcome this partial victory and look forward to the day when athletes of all faiths may compete nationally and internationally while maintaining their religious principles,” Ibrahim Hooper, director of communications for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said in a statement.

    “[Amaiya] has wanted this for so long,” her mother told The Star Tribune about her upcoming amateur bout.

    Zafar came close to fighting at a competition in Florida, only to be turned away after successfully weighing in, as her attire was in breach of competition rules.

    “You get so invested. My weight is in the right place. My head is in the game,” she said. To be turned away — “it’s exhausting,” she said of the experience.

    “She fought for other Muslim youths,” coach Haile said of the up-and-coming pugilist.
