Congrats To The G25
OUTSYED THE BOX
I first wrote this in early January 2020.
I would like to offer my congratulations to G25 for their excellent research and conclusions in their 404 page report “Administration Of Matters Pertaining To Islam” which was launched recently.
Other than pointing out that JAKIM is unconstitutional (for the detractors Article 12 of the Federal Constitution is specific to education issues, not criminal enforcement of religion. Plus there is no mention of Halal certification either) the G25 study also questions the legal basis of the religious courts and it is also not in favour of the hudud.
The G25 have done an excellent job. Congratulations.
Although the G25 has the number 25 in it, it actually represents a much wider group of ‘sympathisers’ among educated Malays.
In my view the much larger group of the G25’s sympathisers are other educated Malays who have come to realise that things are seriously wrong with “religious learning” and there are serious threats to our civilisation from the “religious fraternity”.
The complete breakdown of the Arab countries since 2011, the rise of the ISIS ‘yahjuj mahjuj’, the salafis, the wahabis and all sorts of other religious insanities has perhaps contributed to the G25 coming to realise (I hope and I think so) the falsehood that has been masquerading in society, in your homes and worse in your beliefs. It is a falsehood.
I take the Arab Spring and the consequent rise of ISIS as a watershed moment for many educated and sensible Muslims all over the world to realise that their religion has actually been hijacked by these insanely deviant people.
Although its a bit late but better late than never. My friends and I were not much earlier – we saw this threat way back in the 1980s.
Sadly from the 1980s until the Arab Spring and the ISIS insanity in 2011 many folks thought people like my friends and I were the ones who were off on a tangent. Now you know different.
Since the Arab Spring and the rise of ISIS many Muslims in this country have begun to turn around. They can see for themselves that what people like my friends and I have been saying all these decades has come true.
We have been the few sane voices. But it is really sad that what we warned about over all these years has had to come true – so devastatingly and so horribly – all over the Islamic world. And now it appears to be unravelling here in Malaysia.
