LINA JOY: Waktu kamu pasti akan tiba.. Azri Aziz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Salamun'alaik.. Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Mengasihani.. Salam serta selawat ke atas Rasulullah s.a.w, ahli keluarga baginda juga para sahabat yang berjuang menegakkan Islam di muka bumi ini..
Alhamdulillah.. Dengan izin Allah swt dan usaha kalian yang bersama-sama menjalankan solat hajat, Allah mengizinkan kemenangan yang berpihak ke atas kita umat di Malaysia.. Pun begitu, kita perlu terus bersatu dengan berjemaah dalam menangani pelbagai lagi usaha mereka yang ingin meruntuhkan kuasa institusi Islam di Malaysia. Jangan leka kerana mereka tidak akan berasa aman dan lena dengan kemenangan ini. Setiap langkah perlu diamati dengan berhati-hati dan teliti agar tidak mendatangkan mudarat kemudian hari. Kes-kes seperti isu penukaran agama juga perlulah pihak berkuasa (terutamanya institusi jabatan agama) tangani dengan lebih serius. Jabatan agama memainkan peranan dalam menasihatkan kerajaan dalam pentadbiran negara ke arah pemerintahan undang-undang Islam yang lebih teliti. Mudah-mudahan jabatan agama dan mufti-mufti bukan sahaja dapat menasihati kerajaan dalam isu ini, malah menasihati kerajaan agar pencalar imej Islam di Malaysia sebuah negara Islam seperti kilang arak dan penjualannya, kilang rokok dan penjualannya, organisasi perjudian dan premis judi (YANG SAHIH HARAM DI SISI ISLAM), premis hiburan seperti kelab malam dan seumpamanya, program realiti yang merosakkan akhlak dan beberapa aktiviti yang lain di HARAMkan terus dari bumi Malaysia yang tidak lain cuma mendatangkan mudarat kepada rakyatnya.. Jika isu yang lebih dalam seperti bin/binti boleh diperhalusi mengapa isu yang jelas seperti yang disebut di atas tidak diberi kuasa kepada pihak jabatan agama untuk tegas ditangani..? Sedangkan ia jelas di mata, terang di hati statusnya dalam undang-undang Allah.. Adakah demi menjaga kepentingan agama lain maka ia di benarkan bertapak di negara ini..? Agama mana pula yang mengatakan bahawa ARAK, JUDI, ROKOK adalah bagus untuk penganutnya..? Di manakah status Islam negara Malaysia..? Pada jumlah penduduknya..? Pada undang-undangnya..? Pada pemerintahnya..? Lina Joy.. Waktu kamu pasti akan tiba.. Semoga dapat kita fikirkan demi kebaikan bersama pada masa hadapan.. Kalian yang ingin mengupas lebih lanjut mengenai isu ini dialu-alukan.. Syukran jazilan.. Jazakallahu khairan kathira.. Wassalam.. YAHOO! Malaysia News Wednesday May 30, 12:20 PM Malaysia Court Rules in Religion Case Malaysia's top secular court on Wednesday rejected a woman's appeal to be recognized as a Christian, in a landmark case that tested the limits of religious freedom in this moderate Islamic country. Lina Joy, who was born Azlina Jailani, had applied for a name change on her government identity card. The National Registration Department obliged but refused to drop Muslim from the religion column. She appealed the decision to a civil court but was told she must take it to Islamic Shariah courts. But Joy, 42, argued that she should not be bound by Shariah law because she is a Christian. A three-judge Federal Court panel ruled by a 2-1 majority Wednesday that only the Islamic Shariah Court has the power to allow her to remove the word "Islam" from the religion category on her government identity card. Judge Richard Malanjum was the only one on the panel who sided with Joy, saying it was "unreasonable" to ask her to turn to the Shariah Court because she could face criminal prosecution there. Apostasy is a crime punishable by fines and jail sentences. Offenders are often sent to prison-like rehabilitation centers. Joy was not present at Wednesday's hearing. About 60 percent of Malaysia's 26 million people are Malay Muslims, whose civil, family, marriage and personal rights are decided by Shariah courts. The minorities _ the ethnic Chinese, Indians and other smaller communities _ are governed by civil courts. But the constitution does not say who has the final say in cases such as Joy's when Islam confronts Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism or other religions. The founding fathers of Malaysia left the constitution deliberately vague, unwilling to upset any of the three ethnic groups dominant at the time of independence from Britain 50 years ago, when building a peaceful multiracial nation was more important. The situation was muddied further with the constitution describing Malaysia as a secular state but recognizing Islam as the official religion. Joy, who began going to church in 1990 and was baptized eight years later, has been disowned by her family and has said she was forced to quit her computer sales job after clients threatened to withdraw their business. She and her ethnic Indian Catholic boyfriend went into hiding in early 2006 amid fears they could be targeted by Muslim zealots, Joy's lawyer has said. Joy's case sparked angry street protests by Muslim groups and led to e-mail death threats against a Muslim lawyer supporting her. Her case is the most prominent in a string of recent religious disputes, some involving custody of children born to parents of different faiths, and one involving a deceased Hindu man who converted to Islam without his family's knowledge and whom Islamic authorities ordered to be buried as a Muslim. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff?
