Title: Malaysian senator threatens non-muslims (3 years ago) Post by Sprintcyclist on Apr 11th, 2014 at 12:22pm muslim oppression in malay Ezam wants to burn down online news portals. Ezam says he is doing it in the name of Islam and will wage war against those who convert Muslims. Umno senator Ezam Mohd Nor said he has to come to the defence of Islam and will wage war against those who tarnish the religion, including burning online news portals. He also warned Muslim staff of Malaysiakini and Malaysian Insider not to become agents for infidels. “Don’t be a (Brutus) for the infidel’s agenda. You can find employment elsewhere,” Ezam said after claiming that these portals showed strong stance against the JAIS action at the Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC). “We give you a last warning. If you don’t stop, we’ll burn,” said Ezam, a former ally of Anwar Ibrahim. He also extended his threat to the Muslims who abet the non-Muslims in conversions out of Islam. “We have no choice but to wage war to protect the Muslim faith,” said Ezam in front of 500 fellow Muslims at the compound of the Selangor state mosque in Shah Alam. Other personalities present included Umno Youth exco Lokman Nor Adam and Kulim Bandar Baharu MP, Zulkifli Noordin. The gathering organised by newly formed Gerakan Cegah Murtad was meant to show their support for the action taken by Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (JAIS) against DUMC. Last week, JAIS raided DUMC over allegations that Muslims were being converted. Warning to MB and exco members On a similar note Ezam told dozens of reporters that Muslims have no issues with non-Muslims. “We have a problem if the Menteri Besar pawns Islam for votes,” he said in reference to Selangor Menteri Besar, Khalid Ibrahim. “We have a problem if Shah Alam MP pawns Islam,” Ezam added, and extended his warning to Selangor’s Christian exco members- Teresa Kok, Elizabeth Wong, Ronnie Liu and Xavier Jayakumar. “We have problems with infidels who convert Muslims,” he said. Meanwhile Zulkifli Nordin outlined four steps the group would take in the coming days. “We will send a memorandum to JAIS to help them. We’ll also pressure the authorities for action against churches especially DUMC since it is illegal,” said Zulkifli. He added Muslims would also be askde to lodge police reports in all districts within Selangor for police action. Lastly he said that the group would meet the Sultan so that the Sultan can rectify the problem. Prosecute Ezam, says PKR veep In an immediate reaction, PKR vice president N Surendran said the police should take action against Ezam over his threat against the online media. “The police and the Attorney General must take immediate action against Ezam under Sections 503 and 505 of the Penal Code, for criminal intimidation and mischief,” he said in a statement. He said Ezam should not be let off the hook simply because he was “from the ruling party or aligned to the government”. He added that it was appalling that a sitting member of the Dewan Negara had uttered such words and threatened publicly to carry out criminal acts. “This is an outrageous threat to the property and offices of these two news portals; more seriously it is also a threat of grievous harm or death against their staff, writers and other occupants,” he said. |
Title: Re: Malaysian senator threatens non-muslims (3 years ago) Post by Sprintcyclist on Apr 11th, 2014 at 12:25pm violent islam Muslims in Malaysia have demanded that action be taken against those who proselytize Muslims to Christianity as 22 Islamic non-governmental organizations called for laws banning apostasy. The NGOs issued a statement stressing their commitment to "defending the faith of Muslims held in this country from … encroachment," according to the Malaysian Insider and Malaysiakini. The NGOs sought to uphold existing legislation against proselytizing Muslims while calling for stronger laws against conversions. "We stressed that matters relating to the faith of Muslims are very sensitive issues that could affect racial harmony, thus calling on all parties not to act against the stipulated law," the statement said. "We unanimously resolve to safeguard the Islamic faith in this country from any form of transgression in accordance to Islam's position as the religion of the federation and existing laws, as well as call for an anti-apostasy law." PAS Youth Chief Nasrudin Hassan said that all previous appeals for anti-apostasy laws were rejected in Parliament: while Islam was a "religion of discourse," a law was needed "to curb and control those who will no longer listen to arguments". The call for an apostasy law came as the Selangor Islamic Religious Department submitted a preliminary report of its recent raid on a church fund-raising dinner to the Selangor chief minister; the raid at the Damansara Utama Methodist Church in Petaling Jaya followed allegations that Christians were proselytizing their Muslim guests. Church leaders condemned the raid, stating it was done without a search warrant; other critics claimed there was no proof that proselytization was actually taking place during the dinner. Officials denied they raided the church, rather they only inspected the premises after getting complaints that Muslims were present at the dinner. Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim was blasted for being apologetic over the raid, while Barisan Nasional Senator Mohd Ezam Mohd Nor was criticized by his fellow politicians for threatening local media's coverage of the raid. Last week at a mosque in Shah Alam, Nor declared war against anyone who attacked the Islamic faith, promising he would "burn" Malaysiakini and the Malaysian Insider. However, Nor later explained on Twitter that: "Malaysiakini/Malaysian Insider are cyber news portals; No threat to burn any reporters/building. The remarks were only symbolic of the anger towards them for burning the hearts of the Muslim community." |
