Perbuatan Membakar Gereja Mungkin Didalangi Oleh UMNO Serta Elemen Luar



Sabar itu separuh daripada Iman!
Itu adalah merupakan perkataan yang biasa di dengar di kalangan orang Islam Malaysia terutamanya apabila berdepan dengan perkara yang boleh menggugat kesabaran seseorang.
Tetapi pada pagi Jumaat, 8 Januari 2009, Malaysia telah dikejutkan dengan kebakaran tiga buah gereja iaitu gereja Metro Tabernacle yang terletak di Desa Melawati, gereja The Life Chapel yang terletak di Seksyen 17 Petaling Jaya dan gereja Catholic Assumption yang juga terletak di Petaling Jaya. Pada malam Sabtu, 9 Januari 2009, pembakaran gereja telah merebak ke utara Semenanjung di mana All Saints’ Church dan Sekolah Convent Convent l telah dibaling dengan bom molotov tetapi gagal meletup.





Semua perbuatan khianat membakar gereja di atas adalah dipercayai dilakukan oleh orang-orang Islam yang dijangka tidak berpuas hati dengan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang membenarkan Gereja Katolik menggunakan perkataan "Allah" di dalam edisi Bahasa Malaysia Majallah the Herald, pada 31 Disember 2009.

Pengaruh Luar Mungkin Terlibat

Pembakaran rumah ibadat merupakan perkara yang jarang berlaku di Malaysia selepas peristiwa 13 Mei 1969. Kebanyakan orang Islam di Malaysia adalah terdiri daripada kaum Melayu walaupun ,1% daripada mereka menganut agama Kristian. Kebanyakan mereka mengamalkan sikap toleransi terhadap penganut agama lain seperti Kristian, Hindu dan Buddha.

Peristiwa pembakaran gereja yang berlaku sekarang merupakan peristiwa yang harus di ambil berat oleh semua pihak. Daripada pemerhatian saya, peristiwa pembakaran gereja ini mungkin dipengaruhi oleh apa yang berlaku di Pakistan, Mesir dan juga Indonesia. Sebab kedua, mungkin merupakan perbuatan yang berunsur politik, yang pada jangkaan saya didalangi oleh UMNO yang telah kehilangan sokongan kaum Melayu yang majoriti beragama Islam. Adalah dipercayai perbuatan ekstrim ini akan mengembalikan sokongan kaum Melayu terhadap UMNO.
Orang Melayu seperti yang saya ketahui merupakan orang yang baik dan berbudi bahasa. Tetapi mereka mungkin telah terpengaruh oleh laporan media -massa atau internet tentang perbuatan kejam penganut Islam terhadap orang-orang Kristian di seluruh dunia yang majoriti penduduknya Islam, terutamanya di ketiga-tiga buah negara Pakistan, Mesir dan negara jiran Indonesia. Di antara kekejaman terhadap orang kristian di negara berkenaan adalah seperti berikut :-
Di Pakistan, yang mana 1.5% daripada penduduknya adalah Kristian merupakan negara yang mengamalkan kekejaman terhadap orang Kristian. Di antara kekejaman yang dilakukan adalah seperti menjatuhkan hukuman bunuh terhadap orang Kristian yang deidapati menghina Islam, menyerang secara kejam seperti mengebom, membakar dan menembak kumpulan Kristian tatkala mereka berada di gereja-gereja.
Di Mesir, kekejaman terhadap orang Kristian memang merupakan perkara biasa yang berlaku. Di anatara kekejaman yang dilakukan adalah melakukan serangan oleh orang Muslim terhadap Coptic Christians.
Di negara jiran Indonesia, walaupun majoriti daripada penduduknya lebih sederhana  ajaran Islamnya terutamanya selepas kejatuhan rejim Suharto kalau dibandingkan dengan di Malaysia, tetapi kekejaman oleh penduduk Muslim terhadap penganut Kristan masih berlaku. Di antara kekejaman yang dilakukan adalah seperti membakar gereja, serta pembunuhan secara berleluasa  penganut Kristian.
Contoh-contoh di atas adalah di antara kekejaman yang dilakukan di Pakistan, Mesir dan Indonesia. Walaubagaimanapun kekejaman terhadap orang Kristian bukan hanya berlaku di ketiga-tiga buah negara Islam berkenaan tetapi turut juga berlaku di negara-negara  di seluruh dunia yang penduduknya kajoriti adalah beragama Islam .

Mungkinkah Ada Pengaruh Dalaman Yang Mempengaruhi Tindakan Pelampau Ini?

Perkara yang amat membimbangkan kita adalah sekiranya perbuatan khianat ini dipengaruhi oleh anasir politik. Semua maklum bahawa undi Melayu telah berpecah kepada dua, iaitu kepada PAS dan juga UMNO. Perkara ini dapat dibuktikan pada PRU12 pada tahun 2008 di mana BN serta UMNO telah hilang majoriti 2/3.
PAS bersama Pakatan Rakyat, telah menyuarakan bahawa mereka bersetuju dengan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi yang  membenarkan penganut agama Kristian menggunakan perkataan Allah. Malahan Tuan Guru Nik Aziz sendiri telah menyuarakan pendapatnya lebih terbuka berkenaan dengan perkara tersebut pada 3 Januari 2010. Manakala UMNO telah tidak bersetuju dengan keputusan ini. Perkara ini dapat dibuktikan dengan keputusan Jabatan Perdana Menteri yang telah berjaya menangguhkan perlaksanaan keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi pada 6 Januari 2010.
Sma ada sedar atau tidak, UMNO tidak akan berjaya memerintah Malaysia tanpa sokongan penganut agama lain. Oleh itu untuk menentang keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi, kalangan penyokong UMNO yang ekstrim ini telah bertindak dengan menggunakan nama NGO. NGO ini telah terang-terang menentang keputusan mahkamah tetapi yang peliknya kenapa mereka ini tidak dikenakan tindakan menghina mahkamah? Saya ada jawapannya dan saya percaya pembaca lain pun tahu tentang sebabnya.

Apa Akan Jadi Sekiranya Kejadian Merebak Ke Sabah dan Sarawak.

Semasa masih di dalam peringkat perancangan penubuhan Malaysia, di antara perkara yang sangat dikhuatiri oleh pemimpin-pemimpin Sarawak terutamanya Dayak/Iban adalah supression oleh Malaya terhadap agama Kristian, yang merupakan agama yang  dianuti oleh majoriti penduduk Sarawak. Dan nampaknya apa yang dikhuatiri berlaku telah benar-benar berlaku.
Perbuatan yang tidak bertanggungjawab oleh penganut yang beragama Islam di Semenanjung ini dikhuatiri akan merebak ke Sarawak. Sekiranya ini berlaku, ianya akan mendatangkan kasualti yang lebih besar. Ini kerana sekiranya kekacauan merebak ke Sarawak, ianya akan melibatkan kaum Iban/Dayak yang mempunyai semangat kayau yang tinggi. Sebagai contoh, Kekacauan etnik yang berlaku di KALBAR di antara kaum dayak dan Madura yang telah mengorbankan korban yang banyak,  mungkin akan berlaku di sini. Walaupun isunya agak berbeza tetapi cirinya adalah sama, iaitu orang Iban/Dayak beragama Kristian, menentang kaum Melayu yang beragama Muslim.
Di Sabah, sejarah telah membuktikan bahawa hubungan antara Orang Kristian dan Islam di sana lebih vulnerable, ini dapat dibuktikan dengan kejadian di mana pada 6 Januari 2010 sekumpulan penduduk beragama Kristian di Penampang telah dihalang daripada berdemontrasi secara aman olek KPD Penampang (Yang peliknya orang Islam di Kuala Lumpur telah dibenarkan berdemontrasi pada 9 Januari 2010). Selain daripada itu, hubungan agama di Sabah telah tercemar semnenjak daripad konflik USNO-PBS dahulu.

Orang Kristian Harus Rasional Dan Jangan Mengikut Rentak Islam

Daripada apa yang berlaku di seluruh dunia, didapati bahawa penganut atau negara-negara Kristian mempunya tahap teloransi yang lebih tinggi daripada penganut Islam atau negara-negara Islam . Penganut agama Kristian di Malaysia adalah diingatkan agar mengikut seruan Kitab Injil yang menyeru umatnya supaya bersifat memaafkan. Sekiranya orang Kristian mengikut rentak orang pengikut Islam , nescaya  keamanan yang telah kita kecapi sekian lama akan berakhir di dalam sekelip mata.
Kepada UMNO, ingatlah jangan berselindung di sebalik NGO di dalam memperjuangkan hak orang Melayu/Muslim.
Khas kepada penganut Kristian di Sabah dan Sarawak, bersabarlah sebab apa yang berlaku kepada kita pada hari ini adalah atas kesilapan pemimpin kita yang lepas, yang bersetuju untuk menyertai Malaysia. Oleh yang demikian, kepad pemimpin Kristian di Sabah dan sarawak pada hari ini...saya ingin ingatkan agar semua sekeliannya beranilah untuk bercakap serta bertindak sebab keputusan yang dibuat oleh pemimpin pada hari ini akan mempengaruhi masa depan orang Kristan Malaysia pada masa hadapan! Jadilah pemimpin yang diingati kerana perjuangan dan bukan kerana pengecut dan mengikut telunjuk UMNO...

Thank You.

Malaysia church torched amid Allah row -The Real Colour Of Muslims Prevails

KUALA LUMPUR
Friday, 8th January 2009

A church in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur was firebombed early on Friday, gutting the first storey of the building in a residential area, amid a row over the use of the word "Allah" for the Christian God.
"It is confirmed that Desa Melawati church was burnt, at about 12.25 am in the morning. There were no fatalities. We are investigating the incident and suspect foul play," said Kuala Lumpur Chief Police Officer Mohammad Sabtu Osman.
A court ruling last week allowing Catholic newpaper The Herald to use "Allah" for the Christian God has been appealed by the government of the mainly Muslim nation of 28 million people.
The issue has threatened relations between the majority Malay Muslim population and the minority ethnic Chinese and Indian populations who practise a range of religions including Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism.
Malaysian Muslims, who account for around 60 percent of the population, are set to protest on Friday against the ruling.
The church that was burned on Friday was part of a group called "The Assembly of God".
Many churches in Malaysia are situated in residential or retail areas and often occupy a small lot.
According to 2007 statistics, there are 333 Assembly of God churches in Malaysia.
"There are witness reports two persons on a motorbike came near the entrance and hurled in something looking like a petrol bomb. Our church is 90 percent gutted (on the first floor)," said church spokesman Kevin Ang from the Metro Tabernacle Assembly of God.
It is illegal for non-Muslims to proselytise to Muslims although freedom of worship for the mainly Buddhist, Christian and Hindu religious minorities who make up 40 percent of the population is guaranteed under the country's constitution.
The use of "Allah" has been common among non-English speaking Malaysian Christians in the Borneo island states of Sabah and Sarawak for decades and without any incident.

Kampong Pengkalan Pantu Flooded But Where Are Their BN YBs

Pantu, Sri Aman Sarawak
Thursday, 7th January 2010


Their Village Submerge underwater at  Waist-Deep but Where are their YBs?

Hundred families from Kampong Pengkalan Pantu, Sri Aman sarawak here were forced to evacuate their houses and to find shelter at SRK Chung Hua Pantu because the raising flood water from Batang Strap for the past three days has flooded their village at about 1 meter high or at waist-deep.
According to several residents, the water level as of yesterday was estimated at about one meter high and have been risen since the continous downpour late Monday. They were also been informed of possible rain in the next few days and this was based on the weather forecast released by the government agencies.
In the meantime, their stay at SRK Chung Hua Pantu is monitored and taken care of by personnel from the relevant government agencies

But Where Are Their YBS

We, the Iban who are exposed to the real meaning of development are responsible to tell our people especially those who live in the longhouses or rural areas, that they have been cheated by the BN politicians for more than 45 years. They need to be assisted in reforming their minds so as to put a STOP to the  Barisan Nasional real Politic of Development....Bukittunggal.com
One of the resident informed Bukittunggal.com that none of the BN YBs (From P202 and N25) ever visited them. He was very unhappy with the two YBs for not visiting them. The situation is very different from the YBs in other areas such as in Peninsular. In peninsular malaysia, during calamity, their YBs will visit them and government assistance will be disbursed immediately.
But I am not surprised with these two YBs. They will only show their faces to attend the political gatherings or functions. For example the flood along Jalan Simpang Ubah-Tekuyong-Isu which was reported by  Dayak Nation but so far no efrfort was made by the two YBs to repair the bridge or to the raise the level of the road.

Where is Najib 1Malaysia Slogan

Typical BN Iban politicians for the two constituencies, they always manipulated the people here. But the time will come for the voters in these two constituencies to realise that they have been cheated by BN. Just wait for the next election...They will lose the election as the people has power to VOTE THEM OUT!

How not to widen the 'Allah' dispute

Editorial Desk
The Straits Times
Publication Date: 07-01-2010


The furore in Malaysia over the use of the word 'Allah' by non-Muslims should be kept within its judicial confines, if reason has sway. The government had, in an administrative act, proscribed its use in a newsletter of the Catholic Church. The Church brought a challenge before the High Court, which ruled the ban was illegal. The government has appealed. If the appeal is allowed, whether at Court of Appeal level or in the Federal Court, the final arbiter, Christians and other non-Muslims should acknowledge that the final bar to what they contend are historical antecedents in the use of the word, is immovable. They should concede graciously.
If the judgment stands, which Malaysian opinion thinks is not likely, it would be a reasonable supposition of non-Muslims that the bumiputera-Muslim majority should accept the verdict just as graciously. In either case, respect for the primacy of the law should override partisanship. Malaysia needs this understanding like little else. If the holding line is breached thoughtlessly, there will be a price to pay.
Prime Minister Najib Razak and his deputy Muhyiddin Yassin, and Pakatan Rakyat opposition figures as well, have acted to calm feelings and asked interested parties to await the outcome of the appeal. This is being rational, a well-timed caution. It takes little for a very public dispute of a visceral nature to take a nasty turn. Mosque elders should urge restraint in their Friday sermons, and Christian services need not dwell on the issue. Each side has a duty to keep the matter off the streets. All things considered, it is sensible to acknowledge that bumiputera Malaysians have never felt more exposed despite the considerable privileges they have enjoyed after 1970, when race-based allotments were formalised as a matter of policy.
Political control and the unchallenged position of Islam form a duality that defines, for good or ill, what it is to be bumiputera. The Malays felt their political mastery was dangerously eroded in the 2008 federal and state elections, in which the Barisan Nasional took a drubbing. Now, they see in the Allah challenge an assault on their faith, as it has been framed.
There are thankfully Muslim quarters which dispute the rendering as unprogressive and insular. But they remain a voice in the wilderness. A case can be made too that Malaysia would progress even faster if the bumiputeras would let the politics-religion duality be gradually worked out of their psyche. But the Allah controversy shows the day is some way off. However, the squabbling, though heated at times, has in the main been conducted in a civilised tone. This is one hopeful sign.

Iban in Kuala Baram Miri Has No Land to Build Their Longhouse

MIRI, Sarawak
Wednesday, 6th January 2009



Tuai Rumah Silvester Janggat Sawong Appeals to Government For A Land to Build their Longhouse

Thirty families from Sungai Putat Kuala Baram have no house to live in as their longhouse has been  demolished by a company since August 2009.
According to TR Silvester, they have submitted an application with the government to allocate them with Temporary Occupation License (TOL) or a new site to build their longhouse but until now they recieve no resply from the government.
"The villagers are currently putting up with relatives at timber quarters while the rest building temporary huts along the Baram river" Said TR Sylvester.

Politic Of Development real Colour

Barisan Nasional Politic of development is only benefits few people especially the BN Politicians, but it cost  the native their NCR lands, their most valuable asset.
I am predicting  that few years down the road, with the new concept of NCR land development (Joint Venture Concept) more natives especially the Iban will lose their NCR land to the company own by the BN politicians.
People in Kanowit, Empaling, Tekuyong, Ubah, Isu and many more Ibans that live in the upper Pantu areas or in P202 and N25 Constituencies will need to beg the BN government for a piece of land to build their longhouses.
Iban...Wake Up Now or risk losing your NCR Lands!

THE JEWS DON'T TRAFFIC SLAVES, NOR HAVE LEADERS CALLING FOR JIHAD AND DEATH TO ALL THE INFIDELS.

PERHAPS THE WORLD'S MUSLIMS SHOULD CONSIDER INVESTING MORE IN STANDARD EDUCATION AND LESS IN BLAMING THE JEWS FOR ALL THEIR PROBLEMS.

MUSLIMS MUST ASK 'WHAT CAN THEY DO FOR HUMANKIND' BEFORE THEY DEMAND THAT HUMANKIND RESPECTS THEM!!

In-Humane Court Decision Against Pahang Orang Asli Christians

TEMERLOH,PAHANG
Tuesday, 5th January 2010

Another Religious Supression By Muslim against Christians in Malaysia

Agroup of Orang Asli Christians here today lost a two-year court battle against local and state authorities, seeking basic amenities at their village church.
The High Court here struck out the 2007 suit by a group of Jahut Christians from Kampung Pasu against the Temerloh Land and District Office and the Pahang state government for disconnecting power and water supplies to their village church in Kampung Pasu here.
“The application for a judicial review was dismissed with cost,” Pahang state legal adviser Kamal Azira told The Malaysian Insider.
The amount for cost will be determined by the court later, he said.
Kamal, who was acting for the state and local authorities, said the judge, Datuk Akhtar Tahir, had only given a summary decision in chambers and will supply the written grounds of judgment later.
The government lawyer added that the judge also made a brief reference to Sections 6 and 7 of the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954, which supposedly gives the state authorities the power to gazette an area as “Aboriginal Land.”
Pressed to explain the implication of the court ruling, Kamal, who asked not to be photographed, repeated that the law says “the state authorities are the ones to gazette if an area is [an] Orang Asli area.”
Lawyers for the Jahut Christians told The Malaysian Insider they plan to file an appeal with the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya next week.

James Masing Warns UMNO and PAS to Stay Out of the Word Allah Issues

KUCHING
5th January 2009

Dr James Jemut Masing.....I Salute You!

Datuk Seri Dr James Jemut Masing the Land Development Minister today became the first Iban leader/Minister that comes forward to defend the Catholic Herald in the usage of  the word Allah in it publication.
In defending the court rulings, Dr James warns UMNO and PAS not to get involve in settling the issue because according to him, they hyave the tendency to be biased and may use the issue to champion their own politic agenda,
He further added that it is only natural that UMNO and PAS will be siding muslims while the others side non-muslim, and this can mar the unity and harmony in this country.
"Please note that   the sensitivity of this issue rests on both muslims and non-muslims alike. Home Ministry should not appeal on this (case) because that would mean political interference" said Dr James when referred to UMNO and PAS in politicising the issue.

Let Religious Bodies Deal with the Issus

Masing also reminds both UMNO and PAS not to mix politics and religion but let the religious bodies or the inter-faith council to resolve the issues.
In the related issues, yesterday the Home Ministry filed an appeal against the High Court ruling that the word Allah can be used by the Catholic Herald, and today it will file an application for a stay of eexecution of the court order.
For those who knows Malaysian  Judicial system well can predict the outcome of both of the appeals!

Where Are the Rest Of  Iban and Kadazan Leaders

Where are the rest of the Iban and kadazan  leaders such as  Alfred/Alfraid Jabu, Bennard Dompok and Pairin Kitingan ?

Bukittunggal.com Comment

I urge all Malaysian Christians to stand up and be prepared to fight against the unfavourable court ruling!

PKR Sarawak Stands On Usage Of Word Allah By Catholic Herald

KUCHING
Malaysian Mirror (Joseph Tawi)
3rd January 2010


Sarawak PKR chairman Baru Bian has cautioned Sarawakians not to take religious freedom for granted as it must be nurtured and protected for it to flourish.
Speaking at a Christmas and a New Year gathering at the Blind Centre here today, he said: “This is because certain people in authority and power still impose hindrances on others by banning the use of certain terminologies and even to the extent of classifying the ‘Alkitab’ as a document prejudicial to national security under Section 22 of the Internal Security Act, which clearly amounts to an infringement of this constitutional right.
“But thank God, we do still have some right thinking people in Malaysia especially in the judiciary who are courageous and bold enough to uphold the provisions of the Federal Constitution”, Baru said.
“The recent judgment granted by the Kuala Lumpur High Court to the Catholic Church by ruling that the Home Ministry’s blanket ban on the use of word ‘Allah’ is illegal is a landmark case for Malaysia.”
High Court Judge Lau Bee Lan, in her recent judgment, stated that the home minister’s order was “illegal, null and void”, adding that the ministry also failed to substantiate any of its claims of threats to national security, which could be caused by the use of the word “Allah” by the Herald.
“We welcome this judgment as a belated Christmas present not only to the Roman Catholic Church but to all peace loving Malaysians who believe in the principles of Rule of the Law and the sanctity and the supremacy of the Federal Constitution...Baru Bian, PKR Sarawak.
Consistent with Pakatan Rakyat's stand

“This judgment is also consistent with Pakatan Rakyat’s stand on this issue. Our leader Anwar Ibrahim at our convention in Kuching on Dec 13 publicly stated in no uncertain term that non-Muslims can use the word ‘Allah’. So did Tok Guru Nik Aziz, the respected PAS spiritual adviser. months earlier,” he said.
Baru declared that there “is no place for religious extremists and religious bigots in this country, as we are a nation of varied religious beliefs and practices.”
He said religious celebrations of all faiths had always been celebrated and respected by all Malaysians before and after independence and the formation of Malaysia.
“This is because religious freedom has been guaranteed as enshrined under Article 11 of our Federal Constitution. For Sabah and Sarawak, the historical Cobbold Commission Report clearly recorded that ‘freedom to profess, practice and propagate any religion’ should be guaranteed.
“Further it was recorded that ‘Sarawak should be a secular state’. This is the reason I believe that today Sarawak remains as such without any official state religion.
“But religious freedom today cannot be taken for granted,” Baru stressed.
Attending the function organised by PKR were residents of the centre, their parents, relatives and officials from the Society for the Blind, Cheshire Home, Salvation Army and the Society for the Deaf and Dumb.

Nik Aziz: Non-Muslims can use ‘Allah’

KOTA BARU
3rd January 2010


PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat has come out in support of the Catholic weekly Herald use of ‘Allah’ to describe the Christian God in the national language, saying it was permissible for those following the Abrahamic faith.
But the popular cleric expressed worry that the word “Allah” could be abused by certain quarters, echoing growing sentiment of Muslim Malaysians aghast at the Dec 31 High Court ruling that permitted its use.
“Its just a fear it can be abused. That’s the worry,” the Kelantan mentri besar said today when commenting on the landmark ruling.
Justice Datuk Lau Bee Lan said in her oral judgment that the Herald had a constitutional right to use the word, touching off a controversy that has led some Muslim groups to protest the ruling.
The government has said it will appeal against the ruling. A group has already started a Facebook group to get the government to reverse the ruling.
However, others including influential cleric and former Perlis mufti Dr Asri Zainal Abidin, have supported the ruling, saying all are encouraged to follow Allah.
Speaking to reporters after launching the state Women, Family and Health Development Secretariat, Nik Aziz said the authorities, such as scholars, should have a dialogue with the Christian clergy over the issue.
“This is so that there is no confusion among the society.
“In fact, Islamic philosophy itself can be spread through such events,” he added.
The PAS Kelantan commissioner also said he was willing to attend such events if it was organised.
However, PAS Kelantan Council of Religious Scholars chief Datuk Mohammad Daud Iraqi declined to comment on the issue.
Instead, he said it was weaknesses in the government in monitoring the issue that has led to the controversy.
“This is not a new issue, it has gone on so long. The government should have looked specifically into the laws earlier on,” he added.
