The red shirt breakout in Kuala Lumpur has also spilled all kinds of racism-charged and seemingly ‘Islamic’ color to add to the justifications for an Umno-Malay battle with police and citizens, to win back their dignity.
All kinds of outrageous claims were made. From the demand to dismantle native language schools to giving back the famed ‘Chinatown’ (Petaling Street) business to Malays spiked the rally mood as speakers took to the stage.
What is most damning is when some ventured to hide behind the veil of religion. One speaker is quoted to have said that he is racist and that Islam allowed it.
The Board of Directors of the Muslim Professionals Forum (MPF) has issued a statement abhorring such sinful claims by the red shirt leaders.
In their press release they have spelled out that “Islam abhors and rejects racism”. And to back their stand, MPF articulates various quotations from the Holy Quran and the Hadith in defense of Islam and in providing authoritative reference.
Now, the people of Malaysia need to ask their Malay, Muslim prime minister why is he supporting and congratulating the red shirt rally when Islam is being tortured and desecrated by the claims of these red shirt leaders?
What the hell is Najib doing - does he even know the impact of his own actions
Believers of Islam must stand up as humble and watchful servants of Allah and demand that the prime minister condemns any and all desecration of The Almighty’s gift and blessing to mankind, Islam.
Let the Cabinet members and Umno leaders be told too that even non-Muslims are taking offence to the red shirt for bringing shame to Islam.
By Najib and his coterie proudly commending the red shirt rally for standing up to defend and regain their seemingly ‘lost’ dignity of Umno-Malays using race and religion as the gold posts is also most dangerous and certainly seditious by the consecrated laws of this country.
As stated by MPF, the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) said, “He is not one of us who calls for asabiyyah, (tribalism) or who fights for asabiyyah or who dies for asabiyyah” (Abu Dawud), the prime minister of Malaysia and his men have brazenly promoted tribalism through the red shirt rally.
The very call by the Umno-Malays who participated in the red shirt rally was all about the Malay race or tribe; their call was injected with “jihad”, giving religious justifications.
Therefore how can the prime minister and his fellow Malay Muslim ministers still defend, praise, support and justify the rally?
No one should be allowed to insult Islam, including Najib and his sycophants
Many Muslims and even non-Muslims are demanding that no one should and has the right to desecrate Islam. Not even the power-that-be in this nation’s government, the Prime Minister or his Cabinet members have that right to insult or abuse and distort the teachings as enshrined in Islam.
As such, Malaysians have a right to now rise in defense of the Almighty’s gift and blessing to humans – Islam. That rise translates to demanding that the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak apologizes to all followers of Islam the world over and to castigate and condemn the red shirt rally and their organizers.
Umno must stop desecrating Islam. Period.
Failing which, Muslims must condemn such acts of sacrilege and demand that Najib resigns. And the God-fearing and loving people of other faiths too will surely support that motion. - MAILBAG
