Bismillah [IslamCity] Indonesia: De-Islamization of Muslim majority

Indonesia: De-Islamization of Muslim majority 
 



"I would prefer to see Indonesia splintering apart rather than being lead by a 
Muslim (practicing) figure," - Maj. Gen. Theo Syafei (a Christian), deputy 
chairman of former president Megawati's PDI Perjuangan.

"The unity of Muslim Ummah is the most dangerous factor, which must be 
disrupted by isolating various parts of the Ummah from one another and by the 
suppression of the religious leadership," - Snouck Huurgronje, the chief 
Islamic advisor to the Dutch colonialists.

Though Christian account for only 9% of Indonesian population of over 220 
million (88% Muslims, 2% Hindus and 1% Buddhists and Pagans) - like the Jewish 
Lobby in the West - they almost control the government, military, intelligence 
agencies (TNI, BAKIN, and BIN), media and economy (IBRA) and think tanks 
(Centre for Strategic and International Studies).

The top military general, who carried out mass murders of Muslims, are 
Christians, such as, Benny Murdani (former C-in-C and later Defense Minister), 
Luhut Panjaitan (former Minister of Industry), and Theo Syafei. The list of 
Christian ministers in former president Abdur-Rahman Wahid's included Bungaran 
Saragih (Minister of Agriculture) and Purnomo Yusgiantoro (Minister of Mining 
and Energy).

Historically, Indonesia never functioned a political state until the 
colonization of its 13,500 islands by the Dutch colonialists in 1509 CE - who 
named the Malay world of Southeast Asia - the Dutch East Indies, which later 
was 'Christianized' to Indonesia. The Dutch colonialists originally came to 
invade about a dozen Islamic States - the lands from Acheh in the West to 
Ternate in the East, some 5,000 miles apart and many islands between, were all 
populated by Muslims and enjoyed the rule of Islamic Shari'ah. Muslim traders 
introduced Islam to the local people during the 13th century.

During the 1945-49 struggle for independence - lead by Islamic Mashumi Party - 
everyone expected that the new republic would be an Islamic State, not only 
because of the Muslim majority but also because the fighting and the dying were 
under the banner of 'Islamic Jihad'. In 1949 - when the Dutch colonialists 
withdrew - they made sure to hand-over power to Javanese anti-Islam secularists 
and Christian elites whose first step was to scotch any mention of Islam in the 
Indonesian constitution, the Pancasila doctrine (word driven from Hindu 
mythology), which is based on pagan Hindu culture of the Natives. 



The second step was to place Islamic education, mosques, Zakah and Fitra, and 
Hajj under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which has 
been governed by 'official ulemas' (mostly belonging to Nahdatul Ulema Party), 
who believe that the Pancasila ideology is not against Islamic principles.

The five principles of Pancasila ( fathered by Kusno Sukarno, died 1970, the 
first president of Indonesia) are 

  1.. belief in God (according to ones' own interpretation), 
  2.. Indonesian nationalism (it is a multi-cultural and a multi-racial entity, 
put together by Dutch colonialists), 
  3.. humanitarianism (its definition is to open to ones' choice too), 
  4.. democracy (sort of American democracy - for the elites by the elites), 
and 
  5.. social justice (for the rich and powerful).
General Murdani was a frequent visitor to Tel Aviv. He bought arms and 
reconditioned Israeli jet-fighters for Indonesian Armed Force. Both Suharto and 
Murdani pocketed million of dollars worth of commission from Israelis. 
According to a CIA report on the working of Israeli Mossad - recovered from the 
US embassy in Tehran - Israeli provided training to the secret service of 
Indonesia and maintained constant contacts through Mossad officers working 
under commercial cover.

In a CIA sponsored military-soup, Sukarno was replaced by a pro-West General 
Suharto in March 1967, who ruled the Muslim-majority country with the help of 
Christian military elites and western vultures who wanted to keep exploiting 
natural resources of the region and making sure that the country doesn't turn 
into an Islamic state in the future.

Indonesia is rich in oil, gas, coal (93.4 billion-tonne), tin, nickel, timber, 
gold and silver - and has been target of western greed and killings.

The current (sixth) president, General Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (he held 
ministerial posts under president Wahid and Megawati) - has several Christians 
holding powerful cabinet posts, such as, defense, interior, and finance. In 
2006, Iranian president, Dr. Ahmadinejad, visited Indonesia on Yudhoyono's 
invitation.

Indonesia has no diplomatic relations with the Zionist entity - but that did 
not stop some 'moderate Muslim scholars' to meet Jewish mass-murderer, Shimon 
Peres in 2007.

Assalaam Alaikum to all brothers,



I would like to ask Mr. Jamshed Iqbal, What actually is it about Dr. Zakir 
Naik, that is bothering him?



Is it the attention (fame) he is getting or is it the Money he (or his 
organization) makes?



Nothing Mr. Jamshed Iqbal wrote proves anything against Dr. Zakir Naik.



The truth is evident to everyone, He has devoted his life to making "Dawah".

Hundreds (if not thousands) of people across the globe have accepted (reverted 
to) Islam because of his services to deen, Alhamdulillah and the numbers 
increase with each passing day, Masha'Allah!



If you have a problem digesting these facts then I suggest you find a way to 
deal with it.

Kindly do not defame nor obstruct the way of those who dedicate their life for 
the sake of Allah, They have enough opposition (from other religeous leaders) 
to deal with as it is.



If you think he is not going about his duty appropriately then why don't you 
show him the proper way.



I request all my muslim brothers not to discuss/debate or criticize the Shia & 
Sunni practices. We have enough enemies of islam and we need to stand united to 
face the challenges ahead.

Ahlus sunnah wal Jamaah respects the family of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi

Unfortunately, shia have gone extreme in the religion by taking the family of 
Prophet as intermediaries, and by abusing the companions of the Prophet such as 
Umar and Abu Bakr(may Peace be upon them).

Dr. Zakir Naik says what the scholars of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah say. If 
you are criticizing Dr. Zakir Naik, then you are also criticizing the stand of

Either we accept his statement or not in both cases he has to defend his faith.

A) Suppose Quran & Hadith is Islam though its not supported by Nas-e-Quran, 
which is Quran & Prophet's Sunnah.
Shia & Sunni unanimously agreed that theres no hadith is as authentic,as 
Mutawatir, as consistent as Hadith-e-Thaqalain- -Only Shia & majority of sunni 
found this hadith as binding as consistent it is.
Prophet says
I am leaving behind Quran & Ahlul-Baith stick with them--Hadith does not end 
here--It continues--Until they reach me at Hoz-e-Kausar.
So Quran & Ahlul Baith are inseperable until the judgment day--Its possible 
Zakir Naik preach Tauheed in his style & convert few hindus but it does not 
give him certificate of Sirat-e-Mustaqeem.
Islam is
nothing but obedience to Allah & obedience to Prophet(saw) because of obedience 
to Prophet as per His command obedience to Ahlul Baith is also Islam & 
essential part of Eiman.
Zakir Naik could never be bigger Maowwahid than Shaitan Iblees but he digressed 
as Shaitan when he thought he knew better than Allah how to worship Him.
Worship means nothing but obedience--disregar ding ahlul baith is as bad 
deviation as that of Shaitan.

Bismillah [IslamCity] Tanzania - Christianizing Islam and Israel

2009-03-12 Thread Shahid
Tanzania - Christianizing Islam and Israel  

The Eastern African country Tanzania (population over 40 million) is the result 
of a marriage between two former British colonies, Tanganyika (Muslims 35%, 
Christians 30%, and Indigenous 35% - according to CIA's 'The World Factbook') 
and Zanzibar (Muslims 99%) which took place in 1964. Muslims are found in all 
of 120 tribes living within borders of Tanzania.

Julius Kambarage Nyerere (1922-1999), the first president of Tanzania was a 
fundamentalist Catholic, who attended Mass on regular bais - and was 
responsible for toppling of Zanzibar ruler, Sultan Jamshed bin Abdullah by a 
military coup in 1964. He ruledTanzania till his retire,met in 1985. During his 
rule he put his fellow members of Christian minority at almost all government 
sensitive positions. He carried out a systemayic policy of Christianization. 
Students who refused to follow Christian doctrine in schools were expelled. 
Islamic missionary activist were harassed or persecuted for being enemies of 
country's Socialist Constitution. Learning of Arabic was banned and Muslims 
wishing to go for Hajj were discouraged by government officials.

Pro-government organizations, both Muslims and Christians, tried to establish a 
nixed Islamic-Christian dogma under the name of the Islamic Renewal Movement - 
which basically attacked Islamic Shari'ah and Jihad (military resistance).

The City state of Zanzibar was established by Muslim Arabs from Oman in the 8th 
century. During 16th century, Zanzibar was colonized by Portuguese. In 1699 the 
Portuguese colonists were thrown out by Arabs and the country became part of 
Oman dynasty. In 1840 Omani Sultan Seyyid bin Sultan moved his seat of 
govenment from Oman to Zanzibar. In 1890, England obtained protectorate status 
over Zanzibar. In 1897 Zanzibar came under German colonization. In 1919 the 
League of Nations awarded Tanganyika to England, which ruled the country till 
December 1961. Island of Zanzibar got its independence in 1963 under the 
al-Busaidy Sultan.

In 2005, Julius Nyerere was declared Saint (Beautification) by Vatican for his 
services to the Church.

The current and the fourth president of Tanzania, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete is a 
Muslim but close friend and follower of Julius Nyerere's socialism. He takes 
credit for appointing six women ministers in his cabinet.

The Zionist entity established its diplomatic relation with Tanzania in 1960s. 
It provided military training to Tanzanian armed personnel - just as it did to 
anti-Islam dictators ruling Muslim-majority countries in Africa, such as, 
Nigeria, Uganda (dictator Adi Amin received his higher military training in 
Israel), Somalia, Ethiopia, etc. 



Israeli historian, professor Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi in his book 'The Israel 
Connection' wrote: 

  "If Israeli ambitions in Africa had been allowed to proceed without 
interruption, the logical result could have been a vast block of pro-western, 
anti-communist nations stretching from Israel in the north to South Africa. 
Such a grouping would have viturally guaranteed the security of two most 
vulnerable (racist) nations (Israel and South Africa) at either end of African 
continent and reduced the ability of Soviet Union to expand its sphere of 
influence in the region."

Two armed-liberation-forces
with two religions, but one God.




Two British-soldiers were assassinated
yesterday in Northern-Ireland.

They were packing their stuff , and getting ready
to be re-deploid  in 
 Afghanistan.

Fate caught up with them,  faster than life itself
and they shall
 never see Afghanistan , again.

The " Real IRA" has claimed the responsibility
of their assassination ..
Destiny or Fate or Bad-Luck was faster,  than the Taliban's.


There is something undeniable and unavoidable
about the Theology-of-Liberation :
.it liberates  !!
whether it liberates the Catholics of Ireland
or it liberates the Muslims of Afghanistan
God is always with the
 oppressed people
although most of the Kings and the most oppressors
do claim to have him on their side.


(Northern) Ireland and Afghanistan
are occupied, today, as in 200 years ago
The death of those two poor-souls,
is ,for us,  just a reminder..

Imperialism does not mind which the religion its victims do have .
And Liberation does not mind neither the religion of its oppressors .

If a religion liberates , then it is welcome
and when a religion enslaves then it is not.

If the IRA were only an Irish-Football-club it would never
have (partly) liberated its home..
and the Taliban's are Afghans who which to run their own country
as they think it is right to do

Being ,myself ,a christian I salute the Muslim- Taliban's
until the Afghans themselves decide for another
 liberator.
Being ,myself, an evangelical/protestant I also salute the Catholic-IRA
until Ireland decides to replace them , by whoever might be better.


I offer my condoleances  to the families of the 2 dead soldiers.
At least they died with no blood on their hands !!

Bismillah [IslamCity] About State Religion in Bangladesh

2009-03-12 Thread S A Hannan
Dear sirs/ friends/members,
Assalamu Alaikum.Some people want to abolish Islam as state religion of
Bangladesh as reported by the Press.Islam was made state religion by
General Ershad's government about two decades back.
 
The move to abolish Islam as state religion is inappropriate. Whether
written or not in all Islamic/Muslim states ( whether Khilafate Rashida
or Banu Umayya or Banu Abbas or Usmani or Mughals or others ) had
effectively Islam as state religion.These stated had Islamic law in
force , they found their legitimacy in observing and defending Islam.The
atate observed Islam but the non-Muslim citizens had all freedoms
including freedom of religion.I hope this government will not take any
such steps.
 
Secularism is no answer in a Muslim majority state.Islam and secularism
in proper sense are just opposite to each other.

16. Chapter: On The Command To Follow The Sunna And Its Adab
 
 
Allah Almighty says, "Whatever the Messenger gives you you should accept, and 
whatever he forbids you you should forgo," (59:7) and the Almighty says, "He 
does not speak from whim. It nothing but Revelation revealed." (53:3-4) The 
Almighty says, "Say: 'If you love Allah, then follow me and Allah will love you 
and forgive you for your wrong actions," (3:31) and the Almighty says, "You 
have an excellent model in the Messenger of Allah for all who put their hope is 
in Allah and the Last Day." (33:21) The Almighty says, "No, by your Lord, they 
are not believers until they make you their judge in the disputes that break 
out between them, and then find no resistance within themselves to what you 
decide and submit themselves completely," (4:64; H4:65) and the Almighty says, 
"If you have a dispute about something, refer it back to Allah and the 
Messenger." (W4:58; H4:59) Scholars say that this means the Book and the Sunna. 
The Almighty says, "Whoever obeys the
 Messenger has obeyed Allah" (W4:79; H4:80) and the Almighty says, "Truly you 
are guiding to a Straight Path," (W42:49; H42:52) and the Almighty says, "Those 
who oppose his command should beware of a testing trial coming to them or a 
painful punishment striking them." (W24:61: H24:63) The Almighty says, "And 
remember the Signs of Allah and the wise words which are recited in your 
rooms." (33:34)
 
 
162. Abu Musa reported that the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), said, "The example 
of the guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like the abundant 
rain which strikes the earth. Some of it is fertile and accepts the water and 
brings forth plants and grass in abundance. Some of it is hard and holds the 
water enabling Allah to let people use it. They drink from it, water their 
animals and irrigate. Some of the land it strikes is level and barren and does 
not retain the water nor produce plants. The first is the example of someone 
who understands the Deen of Allah and benefits from that with which Allah has 
sent me and learns and teaches. The last is the example of the person who pays 
no attention to it and does not accept the guidance with which I have been 
sent." [Agreed upon]

I am not a banker and I am not a Muslim.
But I do trust Islam far more than all the banks.



Lately, the financial-world went up-side-down
and banks are now worth only their real-estate- values , almost.

Billions and Billions are pumped into a cadaver
called the stock-market or the world-of-finance.

Industries are not spared neither,
Jobs are lost and the future is dark.


One sleepless night,
I watched a TV documentary about
the "ethics of finances" and "banking-ethics"
which are applied in the Western-world.

One phrase by the commentator struck me, when he said :
" such an occasional  high moral standards in the West ,
 is only normal and constant among the Islamic-banks. ." unquote

Then I started cruising in my mind and in my memory,
looking for any recent or even old financial-scandals
among any Islamic-bank.
And I could not find any example , not remote nor recent.

There must be some magic formula
that Islamic-banks do apply constantly
that keeps them solid and irreprochable.

I do not know it precisely because
because , I am neither a  Muslim nor a Banker.

Also , only yesterday ,
I was trying to explain to my children
how come Halal-food is healthier than my normal-christian- cooking.
But I could not convince them why and they decided to refer
rather to a Medical person , instead of me.

What I fear now ,
is that my children will ask me , very soon,
to explain how come Muslim Banks are more solid than others
and also why the Christian-financial -world is run by "non-Christiansm"
and never by the Muslims !! ( or by the Shariaa-laws )

I honestly do not know the correct answers,
therefore it is time ,maybe for me , that I become a banker,
or even better , I become a Muslim !!

Optimistic women live longer, healthier
 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:39:00 GMT 
   
 Optimistic women who tend to see the glass half full rather than half empty 
live longer and much healthier, a new study has found.
 
 According to the study presented at the annual meeting of the American 
Psychosomatic Society, women who expect good rather than bad things to happen 
are 14 percent less likely to die from any cause.
 
 Compared to their pessimistic peers, optimists are more likely to be slim and 
physically active and are less likely to smoke. They are also less prone to 
high blood pressure and diabetes.
 
 Their strong social relationships help them cope with chronic stress, lowering 
the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The risk of death secondary to heart 
problems is reduced by 30 percent in these women.
 
 "Cynically hostile" women considered as highly mistrustful individuals are 16 
percent more likely to die from any cause and 23 percent more vulnerable to 
death from cancer.
 
 Scientists concluded that optimism is directly linked to longevity.

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever 
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who 
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." 
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
