Isma, are LGBTs not qualified to be Muslims?

YOURSAY ‘Isma is afraid Negara-Ku may attract wide support from Malays.’

 

Negara-Ku is Isma's latest punching bag

Aries46: For all the fire and brim and profanities spewed on Negara-Ku and the Malays in it, all that Isma managed was to once again scrap the bottom of the barrel and come up with their standard run-of-the-mill rants of infidels, enemies of Islam, LGBT/Comango sympathisers and the mundane.

 

Ever since Isma took the cudgels following Perkasa’s waterloo at GE13, what we hear is the same old rhetoric and condemnation of others and hollering of threats to Islam and defending Islam, but never about what threatens Islam or why Islam needs to be defended.

 

Nobody seems to know what is that they want. If defending the constitution, unity, peace and harmony and our way of life is a threat to Isma and Islam, pray tell us what is the threat and why.

 

Until then, all that we see is a group of radicals regularly badmouthing others for an agenda that seem totally averse to how this country and its people live and function as a nation.

 

Ferdtan: Newly-formed NGO Negara-Ku should thank Isma and other so-called learned parasites for the free publicity given with their constant attacks on it. There is no need to put any advertisement to announce the arrival of the people’s movement to reclaim our nation.

 

Isma and other rightist groupings are so afraid it may attract wide support from the Malays, especially the increasingly urban/middle-class Malay youths. So the attacks as usual focused on race - that the Malay leaders of the new NGO are stooges of the ‘infidels’ of other races in the movement.

 

Another Islamic-taboo issue LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community) is included in the agenda.

 

Keep it up, Negara-Ku. Don’t take things for granted. Even if it seems illogical with the detractors’ accusations, it is important to be mindful of such matter as race and religion.

 

These people with the full blast of mainstream media publicity are trying to create a perception that it is not ‘halal’ for the Malay/Muslim to join or support the people movement. It is a mind game.

 

Ipohcrite: I fully support Negara-Ku and I believe all right-thinking Malaysians would, too. Its detractors will not be able to derail its noble efforts as "good will always triumph over evil."

 

Focus on the job at hand, and together we shall prevail. The more Utusan Malaysia , Perkasa and Isma rave and rant against Negara-Ku, the more right-thinking Malaysians will know of their despicable and dastardly deeds.

If I am not mistaken, even former PM Mahathir Mohamad of late has come to accept that the Malaysians of today cannot be conned by rubbish rhetoric that the Umno-led BN and its cohorts continue to spew.      

 

Hafidz Baharom: I have my own issues with the formation of Negara-Ku, but it has nothing to do with Islam. 

 

They are trying to find common ground while Isma and its allies continue to find ways to find dissonance and division among the Malaysian people.

 

It is their continued cacophony of insults to the Malaysian intelligence and our religious faith that truly shows that they are nothing more than hatemongers, so-called pious individuals blinded by hate.

 

Anonymous_3faa: There they go again. Anything and anyone that promotes justice and harmony in a plural society like Malaysia is considered haram by Isma and their likes, and now they are saying that Muslims cannot dialogue or work with "infidels"?

 

Pray tell us, what good are you doing for Malaysia except to harp on your extremist agenda using Islam as a convenient cover? It is people like you who distorts and abuses this great religion through your propagation of hatred and injustice.

 

Iiiizzzziiii: Sometime the words that came from a learned person are really amazing, and what’s more, a lecturer from a local university.

 

We do have lesbians, gays, etc, in the country. The question is how are we going to deal with them? Round all of them up and put them in an isolated place or better still execute them all in the name of upholding the sanctity of Islam?

 

No wonder the country higher institutions of learning have become recruitment centres for extremists and radicals.

 

Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders are people too. They are what they are not because they have asked for it.

 

So, it is time for all these academicians, lecturers, etc, to earn their keeps by putting their combined intelligence to resolve the situation without resorting to persecution or violence, which is the most simplest of solution.

 

Fair Play: Right-thinking Malaysians (from all communities) who have an interest or some idea about thinking clearly would understand that extremist individuals or groups like Isma, Perkasa, Ridhuan Tee Abdullah, etc, suffer from a serious condition known as introspection fallacy.

 

To them, nothing is more convincing than their own beliefs and those who disagree are confrontational or have evil intentions.

 

The major flaw or danger is that because they think that their introspection is more reliable than others, it create an illusion of their superiority.

Cry, My Beloved Country: If describing behaviour as "celaka" is seditious, how about the words "female infidel"? I cannot believe it is an Islamic position.
