PAS : KE ARAH PEMERINTAHAN ISLAM YANG ADIL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Salam~
Sebenarnya apa yg berlaku di Maluku adalah hasil hasad dengki Ahli Kitab Yahudi
Nasrani setelah nyata kebenaran dan usaha2 mrk memurtadkan kaum muslimin(lihat
alBaqarah 109). Ahli kitab menanti nanti NAbi (Ahmad) yg disebutkan dlm kitab mrk
(lihat surah as Shaf). Mrk menolak kebenaran kerana Nabi tersebut dilahirkan dlm
keturunan Arab dan bukan dari keturunan mrk (taksub keturunan).
Perang Antara ISlam dgn ahli kitab sudah wujud semenjak 1400 tahun dahulu, semenjak
diutusnya Rasul. Allah menggambarkan sifat mrk dalam surah albaqarah 120 (mrk tidak
redha kpd islam).
Krisis Maluku/Ambon dibantu oleh Estrada/Philipina di utara dan Australia di selatan.
Lihatlah ketika krisis Timur2, mrk lah yg dahulu tiba.
Sekiranya org2 kafir campur tangan dan mengambil berat dlm hal ini, maka sudah barang
tentu umat Islam harus memainkan peranan yg lebih aktif sesuai dgn tuntutan aqidah al
Wala' wal Barra' yaitu saling membantu sesama Muslim dan berjihad melawan kuffar.
Hal ini berdasarkan nas surah atTaubah ayat 29 "Perangilah org2 yg tidak beriman kpd
Allah dan tidak pula pd hari kemudian dan mrk tidak mengharamkan apa yg diharamkan
Allah dan RasulNya dan tidak beragama dgn agama yg benar (agama Allah) yaitu org2 yg
diberikan alKitab kpd mrk sampai mrk membayar jizyah dgn patuh sedang mrk dlm keadaan
tunduk." dan ayat 39 surah alanfal
HAl ini tidak akan selesai selagimana pedang2 Allah belum banyak memenggal leher
musuh spt mana yg digambarkan di surah alanfal ayat 67.
Allahu a'lam, wslm

Assalamualaikum everyone
Alhamdulillah, Karen & I returned last night. Azhar insyallah will
arrive tomorrow followed by Wan hazmy and Al-Amin on 19th & 25th
respectively. None of us imagined it would be so far and difficult to get
to and we had a chance to try almost everything.. jetplanes, smallplanes,
boats, ships, 4wds etc..
Brothers and sisters, the war in Maluku is really brewing and as I
write this, I expect that new advances by the mujahiddins in Ambon and
North Halmahera are taking place. It is a true jihad..in every sense of
the word.
To be frank, I had initially been quite sceptical as so little had
been written in the press. But now I understand and I have returned with
the amanah of the people of Maluku to spread the truth about the wars
there. If you think Kosova was bad, imagine being in situations worse than
that.
This is a war inspired and provocated by an international conspiracy.
Geographically, it makes sense that with the fall of East Timor to the
hands of the Christians, Maluku, Sulawesi and if we're not careful East
Malaysia will follow suit. This will provide a barrier for countries like
Australia and the west.
The war started with a call by the High Priests in Maluku to destroy
Muslims and drive Islam out of Maluku which is 50%-50% Muslim-Christian.
Muslims in Maluku are tolerant people not unlike Malays in Malaysia. They
never expected this to happen. They never expected to be attacked on Idil
Fitri 1999. They never expected to be burnt alive whilst performing solat
tarawih last Ramadhan.
Imagine now a land where muslims have been brutally murdered by the
thousands. Not only murdered and beheaded etc. but afterwards mutilated,
hearts cut out and eaten or pounded to make a gunpowder mix for ammunition!
Imagine women being raped in mosques by savages including priests who
afterwards pass comments like "Enak juga kulit wanita Islam".. (the flesh
of the Muslimahs were delicious) in front of their families who await their
turn for death. Their breasts cut off and thrown around like frisbees as
they lie in pain awaiting the final blow that will bring death to them..
Imagine an imam being killed and buried only to be exhumed later,
crucified, his genitals chopped off and stuffed into his mouth with pieces
of raw pork..the earth shook and only that act by Almighty Allah stopped
them from going further.
Imagine children with dirty faces and mucus running down their
shrivelled and dry faces holding on to you crying "Bu..lapar bu..ngak makan
tiga hari bu.." (Mother, I'm hungry... I haven't had anything for 3 days)
Imagine a diet consisting of plain rice or if lucky with lauk kuah
indomie (the gravy from instant noodles)or if really luxurious a small
piece of ikan tongkol.
Imagine brave mujahid who walk in with arrows and spears stuck in
their shoulders, arms, legs..not wincing or crying but with kalimah "Allahu
Akbar" on their lips.
Imagine children as young as 8 years fighting for Allah's cause..and
when asked why to reply "ngak guna hidup..mereka injak-injakkan agama suci
kita" (our life is worthless.... they are 'stepping' on our beloved religion)
Imagine thousands of refugees arriving at the coasts of ternate with
a sackful of belongings if lucky enough.. sleeping on the steps of the
overcrowded mosques and refugee sites.
Imagine thousands of refugees cramped in clove drying godowns..the
air inside being hot and stifling..some children with high fevers lying on
hard wooden pellet which they now call home.
Imagine the sick and wounded treated on the floors of mosques and
make do areas with compound fractures held together with external fixtures
made of bicycle spokes and piling steel..wounds covered with honey and
cloth. (By Allah's will, the wounds healed and union of the bones occurred).
Imagine Christian doctors who for the past few years have made it
their mission in life to snuff out newborn Muslim babies or doing caesarian
hysterectomies in an attempt to curb the growth of the Muslim community.
Imagine all this, dear brothers and sisters..this was what we faced
and heard. It seems that there is so little that we could offer but
alhamdulillah, the fact that we even came offered so much of solace to
them. We look alike, we speak the same language (almost) and we worship
the same God.. they wanted us to bring home the news of this biased and
savage war to all of you and all Muslims in this
world.
The money we collected was handed to pay the down payment to purchase
a nice house that would be used as a pusat kesihatan (health center)to
serve the needs of the mujahiddin and refugees. As I write this, Al-Amin
and Wan should be busy moving into the building and starting to prepare for
cases. As I write this too, Muslim soldiers should be moving into areas in
Ambon and North Halmahera to secure positions.
Believe me, this is not a territorial or racial war..it is a true jihad
against the enemies of ALLAH. Not one person
we met spoke of the property they lost but of the war against Islam.
They need our help..they need our money and our strength, our expertise
and our prayers. Please help us to help them..surgeons, orthopedists
especially, we need to recruit a team in for April. The base is on the
island of Ternate, 100% Muslim and safe insyallah.
It is a beautiful island and the jetties like aquariums with clear water
and colorful fish swimming below. Please get in touch with Azhar, myself
or Zaleha to offer your services. We feel the priority is to care for the
mujahidins hence the surgical expertise. If you ever feel any fear
remember that our time of death is already written, not a second earlier
and not a second later. Surely a death doing jihad for Allah is the best
way.
Will write more when I recover a little more form the trip. Hatta, we need
you for debereaving!
Wassalam.

To The Editor
The Straits Times
3rd February 2000
Dear Sir,
I am writing on behalf of NUS Muslim Society to express my concern over the
coverage of sensitive religious issues in the Straits Times. I will refer
particularly to the coverage of the violence in the troubled Maluku
Islands, Indonesia, the terrorist attack in Thailand and the bomb blast in
a Karachi mosque.
A look at the coverage between January 5th and 31st Jan will show the
following:
1. Attacks on Christians and churches are directly attributed to Muslims in
numerous reports, a high percentage of which are given prominence, in bold,
and on the front page.
2. In comparison, attacks on Muslims are never bold front-page reports.
Instead, they are featured on or after page 26 and are described as
incidences pending confirmation. However, reports like "Muslims call for
Jihad!" in large bold letters are featured on the front page the following
day - the reason for calling to 'jihad' - the massacre and burning of
Muslims by Christians - gets little coverage.
This leaves readers who are unaware or ill-informed about the real
situation in Maluku the impression that Muslims are bloodthirsty people who
attack Christians and destroy churches for no reason, and by inference,
that Islam condones such actions.
You may wish to look at the contrasting manner of your coverage for the
month of January.
- Muslim cries of "Jihad” 7th Jan, Front Page, 8th Jan, Page 2
- “Renewed violence….Muslims backed by soldiers attacked 3 Christian
villages.” Page 3 24th Jan
- “Gus Dur warns Muslims against ‘Holy War”’ 12th Jan, Front Page
- “Gus Dur orders ‘;stern action’ as thousands flee riot-torn Lombok” with
picture of victimised Christian family 21st Jan, Page 4
- “Massacre of 25 Christians and churches burnt” pg 30, 26th Jan
- “Lombok mobs rage on” with heavy accusations against Muslims, pg 32, 20th
Jan
- “Muslims hold rallies and attack churches in protest over Malukus” Front
page, 31st Jan
versus
- “Holy War ‘is not call for violence’” pg 26, 12th Jan
- “Religious leaders call for end to violence.” Pg 27, 24th Jan
- Slaughter of 200 Muslims by Christians - the reason for the call to jihad
is entitled “Jakarta probes Muslim ‘massacre’ in Maluku” pg 26, 5th Jan,
giving the impression that the report is unconfirmed whereas Richard Lloyd
Parry, Asia Correspondent for the Independent, reported, "Aid workers say
they have found the bodies of large numbers of Muslims massacred and burnt
by Christians in the ongoing violence in the Indonesian Spice Islands. A
doctor with the aid team said he had seen a mosque in the village of Popilo
in which bodies lay five deep. More bodies, including those of young
children, were bulldozed into the ground near by. 'I think it was about 200
bodies,' he was quoted as saying. 'I saw some dried blood in the mosque, so
I assume .... that the victims were slaughtered inside the mosque.'"
- “10, 000 flee violence in Maluku” 6th Jan, printed on pg 29. ST makes no
mention of what the Associated Press had written, "The Indonesian Observer
daily quoted local residents as saying most of those fleeing were Muslim,
and that Christian militias had gone on a killing spree throughout the
island."
- Muslim scholars criticising violence, saying Muslims attacking Christians
or seeking revenge is unIslamic and sinful reported on page 26, 13th Jan
A similar manner of reporting can be observed with regards to the following:
1. The bomb blast in a mosque in Karachi (which killed four people and was
attributed to “a neighboring country”) is a small report on Pg 12 of 19th Jan
2. Terrorist attack in Thailand: It was then attributed to ‘God’s army’
which is led and run by Christians but despite three half-page reports on
25th January and one half-page report on 26th Jan, the word ‘Christian’ was
mentioned just once, both issues put together. On the contrary, coverage
during the hijacking of the Indian Airlines plane depended heavily on the
usage of phrases like “Muslim fundamentalists”, “Islamic terrorists”,
“Islamic radicals”, etc. thus giving the impression that in the former
case, a terrorist attack can be separated from religious affiliation while
in the latter, it simply cannot.
To be fair, reports from different media sources actually point to one
stark reality that both Christians and Muslims are to be blamed in the
Maluku Islands. They are probably not religious men, but racial and
extremist zealots who are out to create trouble, either to serve their own
interests or were acting as proxies of other instigators. As Muslims, we
must emphasise that Islam instructs all terrorist attacks regardless of who
the perpetrators are, to be condemned.
It may not be intentional on your part but it is imperative that for the
credibility of the Straits Times that extra care is taken to avoid being
proven as biased in the coverage of such issues. Our research shows that
the diction used and the strategic page location of various reports promote
the interest of a particular group of people and thus, do not present an
accurate picture.
It would hurt local Christians to see terrorist attacks or war crimes
afflicted by God’s Army, the Serbs, the Nazis or the Russians as associated
with Christianity. Similarly it hurts local Muslims to see the same being
attributed conveniently and indiscriminately to Islam.
It is not the job of the media to take sides and it certainly betrays the
ethics of professional journalism to present facts in such a way that
readers are given a lop-sided picture of the state of affairs. It is also
not in line with aspects of the Singapore constitution which address
religious equality and harmony in Singapore.
This is a rapidly globalising world. Singaporeans are no longer totally
dependant on the Straits Times for news. The Internet brings 5000
newspapers from around the world to the fingertips of any surfer. SCV
provides access to BBC and CNN among other news stations. Local
universities subscribe to dozens of daily newspapers and periodicals from
around the world, making them easily accessible to all students. This has
made the Singaporean more aware of world events as presented by a variety
of news sources. This poses a challenge to the Straits Times to keep up
with the race to bring readers reliable and unbiased coverage.
We hope that the Straits Times will continue to make a conscious effort to
bring readers reliable and unbiased coverage, particularly on issues of
some sensitivity to our multi-religious population.
Yours faithfully,
Fareena Alam

President, United Nations Students’ Association of NUS

Analysis: What provoked Moluccas violence?
By regional analyst Nicholas Nugent
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_595000/595473.stm
It is one year since violence first broke out in the Moluccan capital of
Ambon as the island's Muslim population were celebrating the end of the
fasting month of Ramadan.
As Muslims once again mark Id-ul-fitri, communal violence has reached a
new peak throughout what once were known as the Spice Islands.
[] The two large islands of Seram and Halmahera have been worst
affected by the latest disorder. Over the past year, thousands of people
have been killed, many when the army or police opened fire to quell
inter-community clashes.
Tens of thousands have seen their homes burnt down, or else been forced to
seek refuge on other islands in the Indonesian archipelago.
The new Indonesian Government of President Abdurrachman Wahid is still
coming to terms with the loss of the province of East Timor and serious
separatist violence in Aceh and elsewhere.
It seems taken aback by the worsening violence in Maluku - Indonesia's
name for the Moluccas - and so far it has offered no solution.
While Indonesia's majority Muslims dominate the northern Moluccas, in the
south there is balance between Christians and indigenous Muslims as well
as Bugis and Butonese settlers from neighbouring islands. For generations
the communities lived side by side according to a traditional alliance
known as pela.
Under pela, Christians and Muslims lived harmoniously in adjoining
villages. Christians would help build a community mosque, Muslims would
help build a church.
The chief city of the southern Moluccas, Ambon, was once the capital of
the Dutch East Indies, the islands having come to European attention as
the source of the prized and lucrative clove and nutmeg spices.
Arrest a decline
When the Dutch left and Indonesia was founded, many Ambonese, especially
those who had become Christians, felt a close affinity with the Dutch and,
for a time, resisted incorporation in the Indonesian republic. Their
rebellious movement, known as the Republic of the South Moluccas or RMS,
was eventually defeated, its leaders retreating to the Netherlands.
Some analysts believe that growing tensions between Christians and Muslims
erupted into violence after Ambonese Christians called on RMS supporters
in the Netherlands to help them arrest a decline in their community's
influence. Christians had seen Muslim settlers take an increasing number
of positions of influence as well as greater control of the region's
business activity.
However, the New York-based Human Rights Watch, which investigated the
breakdown in relations, found that many Indonesians saw the hand of the
Indonesian military at play.
They accused the army of provoking the violence in an attempt to prevent
last year's general election from taking place.
Civil war
The army, they said, wanted to restore its influence and control, which
had declined sharply when President Suharto's long period of military rule
ended in May 1998.
Another factor in the current fighting is the role of Jakarta-based
Ambonese gangsters, or "preman", both Muslim and Christian.
They have been directing their respective communities in what is
increasingly seen as a civil war.
The most recent outbreaks of violence have been in the large and remote
northern island of Halmahera where several hundred people are reported to
have been killed since mid-December.
The escalation in the trouble came shortly after a joint visit to Ambon by
President Wahid and Vice President Megawati Sukarnoputri, whom the
president has entrusted with the task of resolving the Moluccas conflict.
Restore the balance
Neither has so far offered any solution, though they responded to charges
that the military themselves have been taking sides by ordering a rotation
of troops.
It seems that the Moluccan crisis has overtaken Aceh as the biggest
challenge facing President Wahid's new government.
Muslim demonstrators in Jakarta have called for urgent government action
saying the vice president should step down if she cannot resolve the
problem.
Neither community in the Moluccas is asking for a separate state or even
greater autonomy. But they are asking for government action to restore
the balance between the communities which both sides believe has been
disturbed from outside.
