The J-Star writes that Isma president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman, 48, is “the leader of the far-right Muslim-Malay group [who] has arguably overtaken Perkasa’s Ibrahim Ali and Zul Noordin as the man Malaysian netizens love to hate”.
Excerpts from the J-Star interview:
.
- “Malay is no longer an ethnic issue but a national identity.”
- “We support Ridhuan Tee’s views. To us, he is Malay,” said Abdullah Zaik.
- However, Abdullah Zaik opposed Ridhuan Tee’s suggestion that unhappy non-Muslims should leave Malaysia. “It is not our approach to ask them to leave but they must understand,” he said. [“Understand” what?]
- When asked why Isma received such a strong backlash, Abdullah Zaik said that it was a reaction from “liberals and Christians” who fear them.
Food for thought
According to Isma, Malay is the national identity.
Madame Speaker Hannah Yeoh declares that there are “no Indians” and “zero Chinese” in her party central committee. However at the same time, DAP keeps stressing that Dyana Sofya is a Malay.
Therefore it appears that the DAP is in agreement with Isma about Malay being the national identity.
Do the Cina totok DAP supporters agree with their party evangelista leadership that Malay is the preferred identity?
Ridhuan Tee and Hannah Yeoh are twins
To Isma, Ridhuan Tee is a Malay.
It is because he is Muslim.
The Pakatan Malay supporters also think that at any moment, Hannah Yeoh will masuk Islam. They’ve been waiting 6 years for her to do so.
So to them, Hannah is an almost Malay too.
Yet the Dapsters rage at Alifah Ting Abdullah who has not repudiated her Chinese roots, unlike Hannah. This proves that Dapsters are delusional.
Christians are confused
Isma is of the opinion that they are getting strong whiplashes of hate because the Christians fear them.
From the behaviour of the DAP evangelista leadership who go on and on about Malay-sian (see DAP-Rocket poster above), it seems that there is no difference between the DAP ideology of Malaysian First and the Isma ideology of Malay being the national identity.
Where they differ is that Isma is Muslim and DAP is Christian.
In all the photos above, we can see that DAP is trying very hard to appropriate the Malay identity. However at the same time, the DAP are imposing their Christianity and Allah-is-Jesus contextualization on this Malay identity.
The battle between Isma and the evangelistas is to determine whether the Malay national identity would ultimately be Muslim or Allah is Our 3-in-1 God.

perlembagaan menyatakan melayu adalah yg habitual bercakap melayu, beragama islam, mempraktik budaya melayu. terma ‘melayu’ sudah jadi teknikal, bukan lagi ‘bangsa’. perlembagaan tidak menyediakan mekanisma bagaimana seorang yang asalnya bukan melayu boleh memohon ditakrif sebagai melayu berdasarkan takrifan melayu yang ada dalam perlembagaan. sewajarnya ada satu mekanisma dimana permohonan boleh dibuat dan diterima.
Betul. Contoh terdekat adalah anak-anak angkat yang dipelihara oleh orang Melayu. It is a case of nature versus nurture.
RE: “The battle between Isma and the evangelistas is to determine whether the Malay national identity would ultimately be Muslim or Allah is Our 3-in-1 God.”
Allah says in verses 72 to 75 of Surah Al-Maidah (the 5th chapter of the Holy Qur’an):
In the Name of Allah the Most Compassionate and Merciful
Certainly they do blaspheme who say: “Allah is Christ the son of Mary.” But the Messiah said: “O Children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.” Whoever joins other gods with Allah, the Lord will forbid him the Paradise, but the Fire will be his abode. For evil-doers there will be none to help.
Again, they do blaspheme who say: “Allah is one of the three in a Trinity.” There is no god except Allah alone. If they desist not from their blasphemous speech, verily a grievous chastisement shall befall them.
Why do they not rather turn to Allah and seek His forgiveness? For Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And surah 59: verses 22-24:
Allah is He, besides Whom there is none worthy of worship. He has complete knowledge of the invisible and the visible. He is Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Allah is He, besides Whom there is none worthy of worship. The Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, the Source of Peace and Perfection, the Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme. Glory to Allah! High is He above the partners they attribute to Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms and Colours. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and on the earth, do declare His Praises and Glory and He is Exalted in Might and Most Wise.
Doesn’t the Old Testament and the New Testament pre-date the Qur’an?
Can the Christians then claim “first mover” advantage over other religions that appeared later on the historical timeline?
It seems to me that religions are pointing fingers at one another and saying that they each offer a unique path to God or The Almighty.
So, can Christians claim that God sent the Old Testament prophets and John the Baptist?

Datang tak dijemput, pergi tak dihalang.
Tu sama aje lah dengan mengusir/menghalau.
can we choose our parents &/or siblings?

I want to be a Malay. Where can I apply? I get 5% discount on new house right?
Take your queue number. Hannah Yeoh’s third child precedes your application.
How to get 5% discount, in Penang want to buy one property also cannot wan! You got tell me, I am looking for 3 Apartments. Prices make sure not like those offered to Taiwanese and Koreans okay!
ISMA stands , is very reasonable , I don’t see any extremism in their views.
They never called the evangelist “Celaka” though this evangelist coming closed to cause kiosk in this country, only God knows when will be the last straw.
Isma are asking non-Muslims to leave the country.
Is ISMA really meaning to do so? Where should the people go to? Not every non-Muslim is making mischief like the active Dapster evangelists.
“It is not our approach to ask them to leave but they must understand,” the Isma chief said.
Helen’s question: “Understand” what?
LOL’s interpretation: “Datang tak dijemput, pergi tak dihalang.”
LOL’s interpretation is incorrect.
By referring to the Star’s article, the non muslims are asked to understand this: “Non-Muslims must adhere to the social contract, laws and constitution of where they live and not “naik kepala” (act beyond their means), argued Abdullah Zaik, who said that act of going beyond the social contract is the actual extremism and not the statements of Isma.”
Does Isma want the non-Muslims out of the country?
I’m not saying that they’re ASKING non-Muslims to leave. But from all their utterances, is Isma indicating that they feel there is no place in Malaysia for non-Muslims?
I think maybe what they meant n what myself believe is that there is no place for non Muslim in Malaysia who can’t understand n respect the Federal Constitution. Full stop.
Okay on your stance.
Wrt Isma’s, not too sure b’cos Ustaz Abdullah Zaik commented in the context of Ridhuan Tee asking non-Muslims who can’t fit in to leave.
So, according to Abdullah Zaik, Ridhuan Tee is Malay and according to Lim Guan Eng, so is Zairil Khir Johari.
ISMA wants non-Muslims to leave the country and DAP is getting the non-Chinese to leave Penang island.
