In What Way Are The Malays And Islam Insulted?
TK Chua, in a Free Malaysia Today article today, asks a number of questions. DAP opposes RUU355 and said “over my dead body” to the Islamic Hudud laws and said that those Malays from Umno and PAS who refuse to fight each other and want to unite are Taliban extremists. Do we need to go on?
TK Chua, Free Malaysia Today
No one would dare or want to insult the Malays.
I do not know who is deaf and who is not. But as a citizen of this country, I would certainly like to know the truth. I am referring to the spat between Perlis mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin and Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad on arguments over who has done more for the Malays and Muslims in this country.
I think it is pointless to argue in general terms. When there are accusations of PH leaders in government bullying the Malays and Muslims, these better be specific and definite. Otherwise, it may cause lots of provocation and discord.
In what specific ways are the Malays and Muslims being bullied in this country today? What specific privileges of the Malays have been withheld and what specific economic interests have been denied them?
In what specific ways has the Muslim faith been insulted or degraded? Who has insulted them? Was it a concerted effort by a racial or religious group or was it a random event perpetrated by some deranged individual?
When a specific insult against Islam and the Prophet happened, did the authorities take action to protect and defend the sanctity of Islam and the Prophet? If not, can we have some evidence of authorities not being assertive when coming to the defence of Islam and the Prophet?
Now I want all of us to apply the same principle on non-Muslims and non-Malays.
Did the PH government make any extra effort to promote other religions over Islam? Do non-Malays now enjoy more rights? If so, is it at the expense of the Malays?
Did the government assist the non-Malays more than the Malays? Did the non-Malays sabotage, hinder or protest the resuscitation and recovery of Malay institutions maimed due to past transgressions?
Did the authorities show leniency to non-Malays and non-Muslims when they were caught insulting Malays and Islam? If so, please give specific examples?
I believe no one would dare or want to bully, insult or belittle the Malays or Muslims. It does not make sense. If there is any yearning, I think most non-Malays would wish for a more understanding and magnanimous Malay community.
Islam Dibuli, Tidak Selamat Di Bawah Kerajaan PH – Mufti Perlis
(Utusan) – Mufti Perlis, Datuk Dr. Mohd. Asri Zainul Abidin menyifatkan realiti politik pada masa ini yang membiarkan umat Islam dibuli telah menyebabkan rakyat akur bahawa agama Islam berada dalam keadaan tidak begitu selamat di bawah pentadbiran kerajaan hari ini.
Luahan kekecewaan Mohd. Asri itu susulan selepas rakannya yang juga Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif One Centre Malaysia negeri, Muhammad Zamri Vinoth ditahan serta direman kerana didakwa menghina agama Hindu.
Katanya, jika dilihat, pelbagai kenyataan yang dibuat oleh individu-individu di dalam kerajaan yang menghina umat Islam dan menimbulkan ketegangan kaum namun mereka hanya dipanggil untuk beri keterangan.
Malah kata beliau, betapa ramai lagi yang menghina Nabi Muhamad SAW dan mempersendakan ajaran Islam juga hanya melalui proses sama.
“Tapi, ceramah dalam masjid untuk umat Islam sahaja di Kelantan oleh seorang individu yang menceritakan pengalaman peribadi menukar agama dan memilih agama Islam (Muhammad Zamri) telah menyebabkan beliau ditangkap.
“Apakah fakta beliau (Muhammad Zamri) palsu?, apakah beliau menghina atau sekadar menceritakan tentang kisah dirinya sendiri?
“Apakah beliau bertujuan untuk menimbulkan ketegangan seperti mana kenyataan pemimpin-pemimpin yang telah menyebabkan tragedi antara kuil dan pihak bomba (Subang Jaya). Tidak pula mereka ini ditangkap.
“Bagaimana pula dengan ucapan pemimpin-pemimpin politik dari agama lain yang sering menimbulkan permusuhan dengan masyarakat Islam?,” katanya dalam status Facebooknya di sini hari ini.
Semalam, Muhammad Zamri yang juga pembantu pendakwah Islam terkenal, Dr. Zakir Naik ditahan anggota polis dari Bahagian Siasatan Jenayah Berat (D9) di hadapan sebuah restoran di sini berikutan beberapa laporan polis dibuat terhadapnya kerana didakwa menghina agama Hindu.
Muhammad Zamri didakwa membuat kenyataan yang berbaur penghinaan terhadap agama Hindu dalam satu video tular di laman sosial.
Tambah Mohd. Asri, Muhammad Zamri selama ini telah membuat banyak program membantu membina hubungan baik antara agama termasuk menziarahi gereja, tokong dan pelbagai dialog harmoni dianjurkannya di bawah One Centre Malaysia negeri.
“Ucapan beliau itu hanyalah sedikit daripada pengalaman dirinya sahaja sebelum menganut Islam (jika) dibandingkan usaha beliau untuk membina hubungan antara agama.
“Saya tidak menyalahkan pihak polis, tetapi ini berlaku kerana realiti politik yang membiarkan umat Islam dibuli. Suara-suara mempertahankan Islam sukar kedengaran dalam kalangan yang memimpin pentadbiran hari ini melainkan sejumlah kecil. Apakah ini suatu keadilan? .
“Realiti ini menjadikan rakyat makin akur bahawa Islam berada dalam keadaan yang tidak begitu selamat di bawah pentadbiran hari ini,” katanya.
