Discussing the death sentence on the enemies of Islam


Yes, freedom of speech is good because many things that were taboo or sacred cows before this can now be openly debated. And one matter that has gone unresolved for more than 30 years is the issue of the kafir, munafiq and fasiq Muslims, and their opposition to Islam, the Islamic state and Islamic laws. It would no longer be a crime to propagate the death sentence on the enemies of Islam like they do in many other Muslim countries until today.

All Malaysians are equal, says Razali of Suhakam

Suhakam has criticised the youth and sports ministry for giving in to public pressure regarding Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman’s press officer, Numan Afifi, who is also a LGBT activist. Suhakam’s chairman, Razali Ismail, said the discrimination over Numan’s LGBT activism or sexual orientation was extremely troubling as Article 8 of the Federal Constitution provides for equality for all citizens.

So, there you are, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia’s chief has spoken. And he said, under Article 8 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, all Malaysians are to be treated equal. However, just like in many other Articles in Malaysia’s Federal Constitution, there are many ambiguities. For example, while the Constitution allows you freedom of assembly, the constitution also allows the police to take away that freedom if they deem fit (such as the assembly may disrupt public order).

So, Malaysia’s Constitution is full of contradictions. And Malaysia’s Constitution has been amended more times than the number of years the country has seen Merdeka. And guess in whose reign was Malaysia’s Constitution amended the most. Yes, that’s right, in the era of the Fourth Prime Minister of Malaysia who is now the Seventh Prime Minister as well.

Razali talks about Article 8 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia that says all Malaysians are to be treated equal. In that case why are Muslims arrested when they drink beer while non-Muslims are not? And why can Chinese bonk ‘China Dolls’ and not get arrested while Malays cannot and are arrested if they do (even though Anwar Ibrahim was never arrested for that ‘crime’ even after being caught on camera)?

So, Malays-Muslims are NOT being treated equal in violation of Article 8 of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia. And this is because Malays-Muslims are subjected to Shariah laws, while non-Malays-non-Muslims are not. And this means Malays-Muslims are facing discrimination while non-Malays-non-Muslims are not. And yet the Chinese and Indians scream that they are facing discrimination and inequality and are being treated like second-class citizens while in reality it is the Malays-Muslims who are facing discrimination and inequality.

The fate that awaits the enemies of Islam, a matter that needs to be debated under a ‘free’ Malaysia

And that brings us to the million-dollar question. What is the Pakatan Harapan government in this ‘New’ Malaysia going to do about it? Are they going to allow this discrimination and inequality to continue or are they going to grant the Malays-Muslims the same rights as the non-Malays-non-Muslims? Being a Malay-Muslim is a disadvantage in Malaysia because the non-Malays-non-Muslims have all the fun while the Malays-Muslims are bound by strict rules. And yet the non-Malays-non-Muslims scream about being treated like second-class citizens.

Apa lagi bukan Melayu mahu? You want to be treated just like the Malays-Muslims, is it? Then the Shariah laws, in particular Hudud, should apply to non-Malays-non-Muslims as well. Then the non-Malays-non-Muslims will be equal to Malays-Muslims. I, for one, have no problems with that.

Amnesty International Malaysia has also raised another matter, which concerns the right to free speech. They want many laws (such as the Sedition Act, the Communications and Multimedia Act, the Printing Press and Publications Act, etc.) to be abolished so that freedom of speech will be allowed.

Singapore is moving forward, when is Malaysia also going to?

The motive here is they want the freedom to debate whether the monarchy should be abolished and whether Malaysia should be turned into a republic. Again, I have no problems with that. But once we have absolute freedom to discuss that then we must also be allowed the freedom to debate whether Malaysia should be turned into an Islamic state and whether Islamic laws, Hudud included, should be implemented (like in Aceh and Brunei).

In that debate about turning Malaysia into an Islamic state (the Islamic Republic of Malaysia) and the implementing of Islamic laws such as Hudud, the question of what to do with all those who oppose this move will arise and needs to be debated as well. Can those who oppose the Islamic state and the implementation of Islamic laws such as Hudud be classified as enemies of Islam? And since they are enemies of Islam would their blood be halal (I was told it would)?

Yes, freedom of speech is good because many things that were taboo or sacred cows before this can now be openly debated. And one matter that has gone unresolved for more than 30 years is the issue of the kafir, munafiq and fasiq Muslims, and their opposition to Islam, the Islamic state and Islamic laws. It would no longer be a crime to propagate the death sentence on the enemies of Islam like they do in many other Muslim countries until today.

Fadiah wants the monarchy to be abolished and for Malaysia to be turned into a republic

(MMO) – Human rights group Amnesty International Malaysia today expressed shock at the sedition probe against lawyer Fadiah Nadwa Fikri over an article she had written about the monarchy.

In a statement, Amnesty reminded the current Pakatan Harapan (PH) government of its electoral promises that it won’t target individuals who express their views peacefully and would repeal the colonial era Sedition Act.

“This is the first case of an activist being called for investigation under the Sedition Act and the Communications and Multimedia Act since the Pakatan Harapan government took office for the peaceful expression of their views,” Amnesty interim executive director Gwen Lee said in a statement today.

The group also urged Putrajaya to halt all investigations under both the Sedition Act and the Communications and Multimedia Act until both the laws are reviewed in the Parliament, which convenes next week.

Freedom of speech also allows Malaysians to debate fallacies such as God and the myth that Jesus is the Son of God

“We also renew our call to the Malaysian government to repeal the 1948 Sedition Act, and repeal or amend other laws which arbitrarily restrict the right to freedom of expression, including the Communications and Multimedia Act and the Printing Press and Publications Act, to ensure that they are in line with international human rights law and standards,” Lee said.

It also urged Malaysia to ratify the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other human rights treaties, in line with the announcement by Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah recently.

Fadiah has been called in for questioning by the police under the Sedition Act and the Communications and Multimedia Act at 4pm today.
