  • ISIS’ Malaysian Head Running Out Of Time

    ISIS’ Malaysian Head Running Out Of Time

    Muhammad Wanndy Mohamed Jedi is desperate to retain his title as the top Malaysian Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) operative, despite the terror network having lost faith in him.

    “He has failed to carry out attacks in Malaysia as planned. This has infuriated its (ISIS) Syrian and Iraqi leaders,” an intelligence source told The Star.

    Among the botched ISIS attacks in the country was the Movida nightclub bombing in Puchong, Selangor, last May. Eight people were injured in the attack.

    Last month, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said Wanndy was still working to expand ISIS influence in Malaysia.

    According to the source, Wanndy has “limited time” to try and convince his Syrian leaders of his ability to conduct terror attacks. “He has been given until the end of the year, or risks having his stature as the ISIS’ Malaysian leader stripped,” said the source.

    The source said that due to his predicament, Wanndy will go all out to prove his mettle by staging bombings at targeted spots in Malaysia. Wanndy and his 26-year-old wife left for Syria in January last year, and the former is believed to be based in Raqqa, ISIS’ de facto capital.

    He is said to have sought the help of Syrian ISIS leaders for hackers to penetrate Malaysia’s social media network.

    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.
