Almakhazin: When Anti-Islamophobia Activists Are Islamophobic
Over the years, I have met with a lot of Muslims in Singapura, Malaysia and Australia who claim to be concerned about Islamophobia.
They engage with their surrounding society and government to reduce or eliminate threats to cohesion and co-existence.
Those who work on this issue can be broadly categorised into 2 groups:
1. Those who challenge it by promoting Islam.
2. And those who challenge Islamophobia by making themselves appear acceptable to non-Muslims
The first group will discuss Islam, what we need to do and promote the religion while participating in the discourse.
The stance is “We are Muslims. We will not change who we are to be acceptable to anyone else.
We are happy to engage and discuss. Hopefully that will bring understanding. If it does not, that is alright. We will continue engagement”.
The second group tries to be accepted. They create videos such as “Happy Muslims” and “We are Muslims dont panic”.
They tend to attach themselves to rights discourses.
Their usual argument is that Muslims are a disempowered minority. Their recourse is to work with other disempowered minority groups for mutual support.
We see these Muslims in support of homosexuality, socialist/ Marxist class struggles etc.
Their discourse on rights and freedom are taken from liberal values.
Their main focus is to be accepted.
In their quest, they change Islam so that others will accept them. They try to be the face of acceptable Islam.
Their struggle is not about the deen. It is not about Islam in its full scope (the beliefs, the practices, the philosophy).
Their struggle is against disempowerment.
So rather than Islam rejecting homosexuality, these Muslims argue that we should support the movement because we are both from minority, disempowered groups.
Their rejection of Islamophobia is not based on Islam. It is based on a need to be accepted.
It is about negating disempowerment.
What they may not realise is that their very response is a product of Islamophobia.
Their attempt to change Islam, to infuse Islam with values and beliefs that are accepted by the majority or the West, is the very product of Islamophobia.
They provide the counter-narrative against Muslims who want to live according to Islam.
Rather than resisting, they have become the purveyors of anti Islam rhetoric.
They are its product.

Lee Hsien Loong: Give-And-Take Critical For Racial, Religious Harmony
The racial and religious harmony that Singapore enjoys is a result of give-and-take between the different communities in the country, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said.
“This is something which we have to always continue to work upon, because it is not something which will ever become a solved problem,” Mr Lee said in an interview with Russian news agency TASS at the Istana on Saturday (May 14).
“All the major religions of the world are in Singapore. There are three major races, but many other communities in Singapore. We speak very different languages. Tamil is Dravidian, Chinese is totally different from English and we have to get on together.”
This give-and-take between the different communities is a matter of constant effort, social policy and integration, PM Lee said.
In his comments responding to a question on how Singapore maintains a harmonious balance between different ethnic groups and religions, Mr Lee added that this policy of integration sees Singaporeans of different races and religions come together in schools, housing estates, workplaces and during National Service and learning to work and live together in a multi-racial context.
“If you are in Singapore as a Christian, you do not treat this as a Christian country. If you are in Singapore as a Buddhist, this is not a Buddhist country, even though the Buddhist may be one of the biggest religious groups in Singapore. If you are a Muslim in Singapore, you can practice your faith, you can fast, you have mosques, but you understand that this is a multi-racial society and you are working and living within a multi-racial context.
“It is this give and take, and trust that has been built up over a very long period of time, which we think makes for the nature of our society, which makes for what is gradually emerging as a Singapore identity.”
RUSSIA CONTRIBUTES TO REGION’S STABILITY: PM LEE
During the interview, which was held ahead of Mr Lee’s visit to Russia to attend the Russia-ASEAN summit, he also touched on the relationship between Russia and ASEAN, describing bilateral relations as “very good”.
Singapore appreciates Russia’s participation in regional affairs and its contribution to ensuring stability and peace in South-east Asia, PM Lee added.
“Russia is an important power and economy in the world. The economic ties between ASEAN countries and Russia have been growing, but (do) not really commensurate with the importance of Russia in the world.”
This is gradually changing, Mr Lee noted. For example, Singapore is planning to negotiate a free-trade agreement with the Eurasian Economic Union.
“In this way, by strengthening the ties between Russia and individual ASEAN countries, we can strengthen the ties between Russia and Southeast Asia, and ASEAN region as a whole,” he said.
50 YEARS OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS
Russia and Singapore will celebrate 50 years of diplomatic relations this year – a “major milestone”, Mr Lee said.
“Fifty years ago, Singapore was newly independent, and the world was completely different, and Russia was still the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Today, Singapore has celebrated its 50th anniversary of statehood and the world has completely changed,” he said.
Plans to build a Russian Cultural Centre in Singapore are at an advanced stage, Mr Lee said, adding that a site at a “good location” has been found.
In terms of economic ties, major Russian companies like Lukoil and Gazprom are in Singapore while Singapore companies like Olam are in Russia and Changi Airports International is co-managing several airports in Russia, he noted.
The two countries also cooperate in the educational, scientific and cultural fields. Singapore’s universities have cooperation partnerships with Russian institutions, and Singapore is also a popular destination for Russian tourists, he said.
Still, more can be done in terms of trade between the two countries, Mr Lee said. “Our trade is not in proportion to the potential. It has risen rapidly in the last 10 years – has about quadrupled – but still Russia is just our 21st largest trading partner. It should not be like that.
“With my trip to Moscow, I hope to meet some Russian business people and executives and get them interested in Singapore a bit. We hope something will grow from there.”

Benny Se Teo: Give Ex-Convicts And Addicts A Chance
All 10 EighteenChefs outlet in Singapore are Halal certified by MUIS .
Umi Hannah (a single mum with 4kids) started as a service crew and she work her way up and now she is my manager at EighteenChefs … we don’t just provide job opportunities … we carve out career paths for all our employees .
There are many similar stories like Umi , we have a large section of ex drug addicts , ex convicts one example is Salim Salimuddin my manager overall in charge of Simei outlet … seeing his positive attitude we STRAIGHT AWAY NEVER THINK TWICE give him an asst manager post when he was released from prison and he slowly and steadily rise up to a Restaurant Manager post .
We don’t just sell Halal food … we take care of fellow Singaporean and give them a “leg up” so that they can move on in life … because I was once a drug addict too
