End Oppression opposite Shiites

by Ahmad Farouk Musa & Ahmad Fuad Rahmat, IRF

The Islamic Renaissance Front views a calls for a dismissal as well as ban of Shiite novel as well as element from a Islamic World Expo in Kota Bharu with grave concern.

We courtesy this as a delay of a nonessential as well as increasing alienation, if not persecution, of our Shiite brothers as well as sisters which have been occurring for decades now.

It goes without observant which this also contradicts a very suspicion of having an expo which claims to be about a Islamic world. There is distant some-more to a Islamic universe than Sunni Islam, especially of a conservative kind which has dominated Malaysia.

In serve reply we reiterate a following:

Shiite Islam has been a deep as well as enduring partial of Malaysian as well as Nusantara story as well as to illustrate should not be viewed as a conviction tradition which is "alien" to us.

A good understanding of a animosity expressed towards Shiite Muslims is based upon ungrounded as well as uninformed suspicions.

Many significant contributions to Islamic intellectual story were as well as go upon to be made by Shiite Muslims, such as Ibn Sina, Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, Ali Shariati as well as Seyyed Hossein Nasr, between most others.

The Ummah faces some-more pressing problems which should be dealt with together by lay away as well as intra-faith team-work than to waste their energies over sectarian bickering.

It is in truth shameful which while Muslims have been often a initial to call for books to be criminialized as well as women to be policed,! they ha ve absolutely zero to contend about a state of a tellurian economy or a deteriorating environment or a pressing as well as tellurian need for multicultural harmony.

Instead some-more as well as some-more venom go upon to be spewed over pardonable matters. More specifically, should PAS really want to be taken seriously as an pick to a contemptible state of Malaysian politics, it contingency demonstrate, in all seriousness as well as confidence, its commitment to pluralism as well as freedom.

It should not upon a a single hand present itself as a some-more dignified force than UMMO while at a same time replicating a little of UMNO's insular as well as prejudiced policies. The polite term to report which would be "inconsistency", but most would not demur to simply call it prosaic out lying.

Based upon a United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948, everyone has a right to leisure of thought, demur as well as religion.

This has been a basic tenet of a Quran in matters connected with faith.To contend which a act of banning Shiite novel was to safety aqidah or creed only shows an opinion of how total PAS could become if they were to rule this country.

We therefore direct a evident finish of all harm of Malaysian Shiites in a name of leisure of sacrament as well as conscience. They have been as much members of a Muslim community as Sunnis.

The idea is to find a productive synergy towards operative together to ensure a only universe for all. This is a distant some-more urgent as well as formidable task we face.
