“Response to a shoddy piece of journalistic trash”
Dear Hafidz Baharom
I expected a better articulation from you. This is highly bias, selective and exactly show why you and the liberal group are a problem to our country pulling our country apart.
In essence your article is premised on the fact that your group ie the liberals ( lgbt g25 NED groups etc) are mainly concern with the confine of the four bedroom walls and not a threat to the society. You print a picture that jakim or Islamic authorities have a misplaced priorities in not focussing on violence and threat instead of petty matters like vape etc. You stated:
“Maybe they should be preaching non-violence from the pulpit for sermons on Fridays?
Maybe an anti-terrorism fatwa is the way to go?
…This does not justify Jakim’s actions of not addressing a security threat which uses religion as a medium of recruiting zealots for violent threats.”
You just lied Hafidz. You fabricated stories to deepen a deep siege mindset. This is totally appalling and I totally condemn your write. You lied that there are no fatwa on terrorism. In fact there’s even a specific fatwa on ISIS. See http://www.e-fatwa.gov.my/
You project ignorance as truth and portray it selectively to misrepresent to the public. Either (i) you never follow our khutbah or Islamic development in our nation yet want to make public statement on khutbah and fatwa or (ii) you’re an unthinking consumer of the left media news who always dangerously pick and select certain unfavorable khutbah to them and not highlighting all or (iii) you with ill intent try to mislead the public. I condemn you in all three scenarios.
You are making an outright lie to badmouth our religious authorities and religion. You try to belittle them with pettiness. For your again ignorant understanding, vape issue is also a serious health issue overseas. In fact the fatwa council should be applauded for taking an unpopular stand on this health issue. Really shameful comparison of pettiness.
And finally don’t pretend the liberals are confine within the four bedroom walls. Didn’t G25 publicly call for the decriminalization of all shariah offences effectively abolishing all our shariah penal law which have existed long even before merdeka? Didn’t the liberal group time after time not only challenge the shariah issues overseas in various international forum but challenge the shariah laws and practices time and time again in courts? For your information the many challenges by the liberals are regarded in court as unconstitutional. And you call those against our constitution as docile harmless malaysians not concern with things outside the bedroom? Here, you even lie and manufacture untruth with this article. You have crossed the line. Rectify the untruth or withdraw your article. You are better than this.
