News

On 7th December 2015 Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak stated, when Islam is becoming the aim of irresponsible parties, Muslims across the world must rise to explain that Islam is a peaceful, fair and inclusive religion. In this matter, the Prime Minister requested that Muslim countries who are members of ASEAN to play their role and responsibility to spread the true message of Islam. "With a number of 240 million Muslims in ASEAN countries, we as the Ummah in Asia Pacific must unite and tell the world that Islam is a moderate and tolerable religion from our ancestors," he stated during the AMF officiating ceremony at Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC).

Malaysia will also send experts to Australia February next year in order to help the country curb terrorist threats. Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, claimed that the experts comprised police, officers from the Department of Prison, and officers from the Malaysian Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM) and university lecturers. Apart from that, we will also share confidential information and hope that this Training for Trainers (TOT) will help in solving the problem in both countries," he stated after a meeting with the Minister of Legislation and the Adviser Minister for Australia's Prime Minister in order to curb terrorists, Michael Keenan, in Perdana Putra.

Since the series of attacks in Paris, Muslims have continuously been condemned and labelled as the world's terrorists. In fact, Muslim countries are also imitating this by condemning 'Muslim terrorist'. Without solid evidence, Muslims have been alleged as the traitors to the attacks in Paris. Muslim leaders however merely accept the labelling thrown towards Muslims and not a single leader stood up and spoke the truth. This bleeding incident is not the first event occurring in the West. Since the September 11 attack, Muslims have been easily labelled as traitors from every incident occurring where in fact, there has been numerous facts and evidence exposed that all these events are the agenda of the west to book a ticket to attack the Muslims.

Malaysian leaders are not left out in providing solutions to curb terrorists according to the West’s viewpoint. All the efforts carried out are in order to help the Kuffar West solve the issue of terrorists that does not only exist in the West but also in Muslim countries. Therefore, Malaysia as the Chairman of ASEAN has tried to handle this problem according to the standard of the West who clearly are hostile of Muslims. Allah (swt) has reminded us,

﴿قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاء مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ﴾

“Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed we have made plain to you the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand” [QS Al-i-Imran (3):118].

According to the dictionary of democracy capitalism, terrorists are only labelled Muslims. Even though a Muslim killed one non-Muslim who insulted and ridiculed Islam, they are still labelled as terrorists. However, when France wages war towards the people of Syria that took the lives of hundreds and thousands of the public including women and children, they are claimed as defending their country. If America kills millions of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan, they are considered the World's Police that is guarding the safety of the world.

Nonetheless, when the Muslims in Palestine, Moro, Pattani, Myanmar, Kashmir, Chechnya and Bosnia try to defend their land from being occupied, they are called terrorists. What Allah has revealed is true,

((وَلَن تَرْضَى عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلاَ النَّصَارَى حَتَّى تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ))

“And the Jews will not be pleased with you, nor the Christians until you follow (depend on) their religion.” [QS al-Baqarah (2):120].

Oh Muslim leaders, Allah (swt) has given a reminder to all of us. Do not be tolerable anymore with Kuffar terrorists who have killed millions of Muslims. Indeed, they are the real terrorists who are hiding behind the anti-terrorist slogan.
