  • Jakim is a ‘pervert’

    kasus-khalwat-mesum-dominasi-pelanggaran-syariat-islam-di-aceh

    COMMENT:  Jakim is at best a ‘pervert’ for condemning Valentine’s Day and abusing the Friday sermons to incite racial unrest. The department seems to be enjoying playing the devil’s advocate.

    Last year, just days before the Allah issue returned to court, the Department of Islamic Development of Malaysia (Jakim)  rebuked non-Muslims for challenging the Muslim faith by insisting on using the word.

    “The position of Islam is being threatened from every corner. We must be aware of our responsibility in this issue.

    “These are the rights of Muslims that cannot be intruded by anyone as it will affect the beliefs and thoughts of Muslims,” Jakim’s sermon went.

    Looks like the Islamic department is getting carried away with its responsibilities, so much so that its focus has turned fuzzy.

    Jakim pushed the religion envelope a little too far when it declared as “unlawful” a  YouTube clip of Maznah Mohd Yusof and her three dogs which went viral.

    However, the “attack Valentine’s Day” campaign is Jakim’s all-time favourite.

    The department has engaged in a perpetual war with Valentine’s Day, spinning yarns about how morally damaging the event is.

    In Jakim’s calendar, February 14 is marked as ‘Valentine’ Day bashing’ with the department trying every trick in the book to defame the occasion, calling it the ‘devil’ of all evils.

    Thirteen years ago, authorities arrested nearly 100 Muslims in a crackdown on Valentine’s Day.

    They were detained for khalwat (close proximity), the crime of being alone with a member of the opposite sex other than one’s spouse or close relative.

    It can bring up to two years in jail upon conviction in the Syariah courts.

    Jakim spinning lies

    Then there were reports that Muslim authorities in Selangor this week launched a leaflet distributing campaign aimed at youths, warning against celebrating Valentine’s Day.

    This year’s Valentine’s Day condemnation by Jakim was no different. Jakim has now decided that the country’s many social and moral headaches are all the doing of the Feb 14 event that celebrates love.

    It is worrying that Jakim without any solid evidence is holding Valentine’s Day at ransom for the many social ills the nation is facing, be it alcoholism or abortion.

    Will Jakim also conveniently blame Valentine’s Day for crimes like corruption, domestic abuse and marital rape?

    “Social ceremonies such as this are a stepping-stone towards greater social ills such as fraud, mental disorder caused by alcohol, abortion and baby-dumping, and other negative ills that can invite disaster and moral decay among youths,” Jakim’s official Friday sermon text distributed to mosques read.

    Unable to pin-point the exact reason why Muslims of this country have gone astray, Jakim has taken the easy way out by blaming it all on Valentine’s Day.

    Misleading the rakyat about the ABCD of Valentine’s Day was bad enough; it was despicable that Jakim abused the Friday sermon to achieve its aim of maligning Valentine’s Day.

    “It will begin with lies, mental instability due to alcohol consumption and being pregnant out of wedlock,” the sermon stated.

    Jakim’s sermon also said that many young Muslims today lacked faith in Islam, causing them to be easily led astray by practises and culture which do not comply with religion.

    “We should not be following practises of Jahiliyah (pre-Islamic times). Doing good alone is not enough if we do not keep our faith in Islam strong.”

    Jakim is both irresponsible and pervert in its ‘Valentine’s Day bashing’ campaign through its allegations that the event thrives on promiscuity and other vices.

    Truth be told, Jakim’s finger-pointing is a coward’s way out of dealing with the real issues at hand.

  • ‘Greater Israel’: Zionist Expansion Plans in the Middle East

    The Infamous Oded Yinon Plan

    Global Research Editor’s Note

    The following document pertaining to the formation of “Greater Israel” constitutes the cornerstone of powerful Zionist factions within the current Netanyahu government, the Likud party, as well as within the Israeli military and intelligence establishment.

    According to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl, “the area of the Jewish State stretches: “From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.”  According to Rabbi Fischmann,  “The Promised Land extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates, it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon.”

    When viewed in the current context, the war on Iraq, the 2006 war on Lebanon, the 2011 war on Libya, the ongoing war on Syria, not to mention the process of regime change in Egypt, must be understood in relation to the Zionist Plan for the Middle East. The latter consists in weakening and eventually fracturing neighboring Arab states as part of an Israeli expansionist project.

    “Greater Israel” consists in an area extending from the Nile Valley to the Euphrates.

    The Zionist project supports the Jewish settlement movement. More broadly it involves a policy of excluding Palestinians from Palestine leading to the eventual annexation of both the West Bank and Gaza to the State of Israel.

    Greater Israel would create a number of proxy States. It would include parts of Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, the Sinai, as well as parts of  Iraq and Saudi Arabia. (See map).

    According to Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya in a 2011 Global Research article,   The Yinon Plan was a continuation of Britain’s colonial design in the Middle East:

    “[The Yinon plan] is an Israeli strategic plan to ensure Israeli regional superiority. It insists and stipulates that Israel must reconfigure its geo-political environment through the balkanization of the surrounding Arab states into smaller and weaker states.

    Israeli strategists viewed Iraq as their biggest strategic challenge from an Arab state. This is why Iraq was outlined as the centerpiece to the balkanization of the Middle East and the Arab World. In Iraq, on the basis of the concepts of the Yinon Plan, Israeli strategists have called for the division of Iraq into a Kurdish state and two Arab states, one for Shiite Muslims and the other for Sunni Muslims. The first step towards establishing this was a war between Iraq and Iran, which the Yinon Plan discusses.

    The Atlantic, in 2008, and the U.S. military’s Armed Forces Journal, in 2006, both published widely circulated maps that closely followed the outline of the Yinon Plan. Aside from a divided Iraq, which the Biden Plan also calls for, the Yinon Plan calls for a divided Lebanon, Egypt, and Syria. The partitioning of Iran, Turkey, Somalia, and Pakistan also all fall into line with these views. The Yinon Plan also calls for dissolution in North Africa and forecasts it as starting from Egypt and then spilling over into Sudan, Libya, and the rest of the region.

    Greater Israel” requires the breaking up of the existing Arab states into small states.

    “The plan operates on two essential premises. To survive, Israel must 1) become an imperial regional power, and 2) must effect the division of the whole area into small states by the dissolution of all existing Arab states. Small here will depend on the ethnic or sectarian composition of each state. Consequently, the Zionist hope is that sectarian-based states become Israel’s satellites and, ironically, its source of moral legitimation…  This is not a new idea, nor does it surface for the first time in Zionist strategic thinking. Indeed, fragmenting all Arab states into smaller units has been a recurrent theme.” (Yinon Plan, see below)

    Viewed in this context, the war on Syria is part of the process of Israeli territorial expansion. Israeli intelligence working hand in glove with the US, Turkey and NATO is directly supportive of the Al Qaeda terrorist mercenaries inside Syria.

    The Zionist Project also requires the destabilization of Egypt, the creation of factional divisions within Egypt as instrumented by the “Arab Spring” leading to the formation of a sectarian based State dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Handsome gerago, Jason Pereira defends the Singapore Muslims and rejects the idea that the SAF still fails to see anything beyond skin colour. He also claims that Singaporeans are losing faith in the system.

  • Muslim converts to Catholic

    Semoga Allah memberikan pedoman kepada mereka yang tersesat jalan.

    ——-

    I am a born Muslim and now in the journey of getting myself baptized in the Catholic faith. I went through many years of hesitations and I’ve finally find myself at peace with the catholic faith. I’m hoping that everyone around would assist me in this journey towards the path of god. I’ve received my calling and I’ve felt god in ways I’m unable to describe. I want to build a relationship with god and not fear him. But as I go more in depth in the catholic faith, I realize that the transition from being a Muslim to a Catholic is not easy. I’ve receive my share of trials and challenges. My dear brother/sister, are you able to assist me with the following queries:

    • How discreet would me as a convert be between my family and me? I do not want to disclose any information regarding my faith to my family yet as I do not wish to jeopardize my close knit relationship with my mother. I understand that its not easy for any Muslim parent to be able to receive the news but I’m head strong with my decision in my faith. I believe I’m past the legal age to make my own decision and I do have my legal rights to keep this matter from them. I love my family but I’m loving god more.

    • How do I go about this journey legally? I’ve heard from past converts that MUIS will want to meet me personally for a few counseling sessions – is this true?
