The competing demands by PAS (whom Umno is courting) and by the Sarawak non-Muslim pribumi (fixed deposit that BN wants to retain) is something that the coalition chairman would have preferred to keep on the back burner at this juncture.
But then yesterday, Hadi Awang apparently dropped a bombshell which The Gunting gleefully picked up Continue reading “Balancing the books between PAS and the native Christian vote”

Interesting question.
“Marina [Mahathir] claims to be a Muslim activist fighting for Muslim rights through an NGO called Sisters in Islam,” observes Ahmad Ali Karim, who’s 11.
This being so, why then did Marina say that she cannot live in a country where Islamic law is to be implemented?

We’re a mere fortnight away from the historic sitting of the state assembly in Kelantan on March 18 to table the hudud amendment bill.
And hudud is just the lever to pry the Islamist party away from its coalition partner DAP. Despite their earlier charade of being Islam-friendly, DAP is dead set against this law under Islam for meting out capital and corporal punishment .
Needless to say, it is to Umno’s best interest – if not the BN’s very survival – for PAS to leave Pakatan.
And thus Umno is, apparently, prepared to support the Kelantan hudud bill. Continue reading “Will Najib save himself through hudud hook-up?”

Berikut adalah kenyataan Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan berhubung serbuan Jais:
1. Muzakarah khas jawatankuasa fatwa majlis kebangsaan bagi hal ehwal ugama Islam yang bersidang pada 15 Januari 2014 memandang serius dan amat kecewa apabila para ulama dilempar dengan kata-kata kesat dan diperlekehkan hanya kerana pandangan atau hukum yang dikeluarkan tidak memenuhi kehendak atau memihak kepada golongan tertentu.

You need to realize that in Malaysia, Malay and Islam is viewed as synonymous, and Malays view Islam as not only a religion but a way of life. You can see this through various things like the syariah courts, Islamic banking and such.
A Malay party embracing Islam and therefore implementing Islamic details is inevitable. Continue reading “Whose Islam? Umno: Muslim Malay; PAS: Malay Muslim (2)”

Probably the kind of post-colonial Malays that Mahathir hated but the only kind that could produce the Malay Dilemma. I suppose it is the old story of class conflict but conveniently misdiagnosed as race tensions.

Respons-respons yang bercorak perli mengingatkan saya kepada kemelut ‘Allah’ tidak berapa lama dahulu.
Apabila tercetus perebutan kalimah tersebut, kaum Muslim telah dituduh sebagai “betapa rapuh iman”, “begitu mudah dikelirukan”, berpandangan sempit, kolot, takutkan bayang-bayang, dsb kerana ingin membendung orang Kristian menggunakan ‘Allah’.

By all accounts, the crux of Chan Lilian’s contentious tweet lies in this line: “i think all Christians shud march for all the persecution they had done to us and our Lord”.
