US imam: Barring use of ‘Allah’ besmirches God

Posted: 08 Jan 2014 11:01 PM PST

Malaysiakini

By trying to protect the name of God, the Islamic religious authorities in Malaysia are actually "besmirching" the name of Allah, an American imam has said.

Imam Muhammad Musri, who is the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, said this was because Malaysia’s ban of the use of the term ‘Allah’ by non-Muslims goes against Allah’s teachings in the Quran.

"The Malaysian Appeal Court’s decision goes contrary to what Allah commended in the Quran (Chapter Three, Verse 64) for Muslims to do: “Say: O’ People of the Book! Come to a common word between us and you: that we worship none but Allah!”

Imam Muhammad (above) added: "The court’s decision is not only wrong, but it is besmirching Allah’s Name!" he said in a commentary in US news website The Huffington Post. 

As a scholar and someone who has memorised the Quran, he said that even in the Quran it was acknowledged that the word Allah pre-dates Islam.

"In the Quran (Chapter 43, Verse 87) God stated: "And if you (Prophet Muhammad) asked them who created them, they would surely say, Allah!"

Therefore, the American imam said, everyone has the right to call God ‘Allah’, not just Muslims.

"As a Muslim, I feel honoured that when our beloved faith arrived in Malaysia centuries ago, it made such an impact that the entire population adopted our term for God," he said.

The argument in Malaysia that the word ‘Allah’ can be used by Christians to defraud Muslims and propagate Christianity to them is also not justification enough to prohibit the use of the word.

Fraud in any form is wrong, Imam Muhammad said, but it should be punished separately and not through a blanket ban.

"To the degree that the accusations are true, such behaviour should be condemned – not because other faith traditions don’t have the right to engage Muslims in religious dialogue in the hope of converting them, but because misrepresentation is always unacceptable…

"Fraud deserves appropriate penalties. But making it illegal to refer to God as Allah is not an appropriate solution for fraud – if indeed fraud is the real problem," he said.

Turning a symbol of love into hate

Admitting to have never been to Malaysia, Imam Muhammad interestingly echoed what some Malaysians have asked on the matter.

"Could the real problem be the anger of poor Malay Muslims over the rising prices of fuel and basic commodities? And could this be an attempt by some in the Malaysian government to deflect that anger?" he asked.

He said the word ‘Allah’ is a name for God in Arabic, just as God is referred to as Dios in Spanish and Dieu in French.

"Dios, Dieu and Allah are not three distinct beings in a pantheon of gods. They’re simply references to the deity that in English we call God," he said.

People share the name of God because cultures overlap and ‘Allah’ is used widely across the globe, both in Hebrew and Christian scriptures.

Instead, Imam Muhammad said, the court decision in Malaysia has turned the word, which has been widely embraced globally to symbolise "the ultimate in love and justice", into something symbolising "hate and oppression".

"Punishing for the use of a word that’s so ingrained in the daily life and worship of non-Muslims guarantees a backlash," he added.

[PRESS STATEMENT] Chandra Must Respect The Court And Stop Spinning His Retraction

PRESS STATEMENT: Chandra Must Respect The Court And Stop Spinning His Retraction

8 JANUARY 2014

We refer to Chandra Muzaffar’s statement on the defamation suit by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim against him. Chandra claims that he withdrew his false allegation on the ringing of temple bells in the Kampung Rawa dispute, as a “reciprocal gesture since Anwar had withdrawn two other claims against him”

Chandra’s statement is blatantly misleading, untrue and against the spirit of his retraction of the allegations against Anwar. It also grossly disrespects the court in which he had openly made the retraction of the allegations.

Firstly Anwar had never withdrawn any claims against Chandra, but last year had merely amended his Statement of Claim in order to clarify the issues in the court case.

Secondly Chandra’s claim that his retraction of the allegations in court on 7 January 2014 was a reciprocal gesture is absurd, because the amendment of the claim was made one year ago! If that is the case why didn’t Chandra make this so-called “reciprocal gesture” one year ago when Anwar amended his suit?

Further, Chandra had unconditionally withdrawn the allegations on 7 January 2014 in open court. Chandra did not state at any point of time in his statement of withdrawal that it was made as a result Anwar’s amendement one year ago.

Chandra’s retraction of the allegations fully vindicates our client Anwar Ibrahim, and proves that the allegations made by Chandra Muzaffar on the temple bells in Kampung Rawa were completely false.

We call upon Dr Chandra Muzaffar to conduct himself consistent with his unconditional retraction of the allegations, and not to put a spin upon his retraction.

Ibu merajuk keluar dari rumah anak
8 Januari 2014

REMBAU – "Buat masa ini biarlah saya tinggal dan menumpang kasih di rumah rakan daripada sengsara tinggal di rumah anak sendiri," luah seorang warga emas yang hanya ingin dikenali sebagai Ida, 60-an, ketika ditemui di rumah kenalannya di Kampung Rendah, dekat sini, semalam.

Ida berkata, dia nekad keluar dari rumah anaknya Isnin lalu  kerana tidak mahu  'makan hati' dengan sikap dan tingkah laku biadap anaknya yang kadang kala melukakan hati.

Menurutnya, dia menetap dengan anak perempuan sulungnya itu sejak sembilan bulan lalu selepas kematian anak lelaki bongsu yang terbabit dalam kemalangan Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan pada Mac tahun lalu.

"Suami saya juga sudah meninggal kira-kira lapan tahun lalu kerana penyakit asma. Saya hanya ada sepasang anak, jadi bila anak bongsu saya meninggal dunia, saya memang mengharap agar anak sulung akan membantu saya.

"Bagaimanapun, sejak dari dahulu lagi, anak sulung saya sering meluahkan rasa tidak puas hati kerana beranggapan  saya lebih menyayangi adiknya sahaja," katanya.

Tambah Ida, anak sulungnya membawa dia tinggal bersama dan dia diminta menjaga cucu yang masih kecil.

Malah, sepanjang tempoh sembilan bulan tinggal bersama, Ida sering disindir.

"Dia tidak pernah menghalau saya secara terang-terangan, namun kerap menyindir tidak kira waktu baik ketika saya menyediakan makanan mahupun bergurau dengan cucu.

"Anak saya tidak pernah mengajak saya keluar makan sedangkan dia bersama anaknya sering makan di luar," katanya.

Tambahnya, Ida juga turut dimarahi kerana anaknya tidak menyukai cara Ida lalu dia  menghalaunya keluar rumah.

"Daripada terus rasa terluka, saya segera menghubungi teksi untuk pergi dari situ. Saya keluar sehelai sepinggang dan hanya membawa dokumen penting serta gambar kenangan kami sekeluarga," katanya.

Ida yang juga penerima bantuan bulanan orang tua dari Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat  (JKM) menetap di rumah rakannya buat sementara  dan akan mencari tempat tinggal lain.
