Nape Najib takut dengan gelombang di Mesir?

Semasa berucap di Miri, Najib tidak dapat menyembunyikan lagi ketakutannya ekoran gelombang kebangkitan rakyat di Mesir sejak 25 Januari lalu. Katanya "Rakyat Malaysia perlu menolak hasutan mana-mana pihak yang cuba mengaitkan pergolakan di negara-negara lain dengan keadaan di Malaysia."

Tambahnya lagi keadaan tidak stabil yang berlaku di beberapa buah negara lain ketika ini tidak boleh disamakan dengan keadaan di Malaysia yang selama ini ditegakkan oleh semangat satu keluarga yang besar.

Jelas ucapan si bacul laknat ini menggambarkan betapa takutnya dia kalau-kalau rakyat negara ini turut bangkit seperti rakyat Tunisia, Mesir dan Yemen.

Najib sendiri cukup sedar dan tahu segala pekong dan kurap pemerintahan UMNO BN sejak era si mamak tua. Najib juga tahu yang dirinya sama saja dengan Hosni Mubarak. Apa yang dilakukan oleh Mubarak terhadap rakyat Mesir, juga dilaksanakan olehnya terhadap rakyat negara ini.

Dunia Islam sedia maklum betapa zalimnya rejim pemerintahan sekular Mesir sejak zaman sebelum Mubarak lagi. Dasar pemerintahan korup dan zalim berterusan hingga ke hari ini. Gerakan Islam seperti Ikhwanul Muslimin diharamkan, mana-mana rakyat yang didapati menentang Mubarak akan ditangkap dan disiksa di penjara bawah tanah oleh anggota SB yang berada di setiap pelusuk negara. Ada antaranya mati disiksa. Dan ada juga dibunuh.

Apa bezanya dengan pemerintahan rejim UMNO selama ini.

Bermula dengan pembunuhan Ustaz Ibrahim Libya dan 13 sahabatnya dalam Peristiwa Memali. Pemimpin PAS dan pembangkang yang lain ditahan di bawah ISA semasa Ops Lalang dalam tahun 1986. Lim Guan Eng dipenjara kerana membela nasib seorang remaja Melayu yang menjadi mangsa kerakusan seks Rahim Thamby Chik. Anwar Ibrahim difitnah dan dipecat dari kabinet dan UMNO, dibelasah separuh mati dan terpaksa merengkok dalam penjara selama 6 tahun tanpa sebarang kesalahan.

Penyelewengan dan rasuah yang dilakukan oleh Mahathir, Pak Lah dan Najib bukan lagi menjadi kesalahan dalam skop undang-undang rimba ciptaan UMNO. Negara (rakyat) terpaksa menanggung hutang berjumlah RM362.69 bilion angkara penyelewengan kerajaan UMNO BN. Manakala rakyat bawahan dipaksa menerima kenaikan harga atas alasan bagi mengelakkan negara bankrap.

Biasiswa anak Melayu dirampas dan diganti dengan pinjaman PTPTN. Wang tabungan rakyat dalam KWSP, Tabung Haji, Tabung Ketenteraan dan lain-lain digunakan sewenangnya untuk bail-out syarikat GLC dan kroni mereka. Peruntukan subsidi RM10 bilion diberikan kepada syarikat kroni YTL manakala subsidi minyak untuk rakyat dikurangkan. Rakyat terus dibebankan dengan kenaikan harga minyak dan barangan keperluan manakala kroni terus menimbunkan harta kekayaan.

Bila segala pekong dan kurap kerajaan UMNO BN terus didedah kepada rakyat, ditambah dengan 4 negeri yang diperintah oleh Pakatan Rakyat, sudah tentu Najib dan UMNO hari ini terus dibayangi ketakutan ekoran kebangkitan rakyat Mesir.

Tiada bezanya Mahathir, Pak Lah, Najib, Hosni Mubarak, Mahmoud Abas, Ben Ali dan lain-lain pemimpin negara umat Islam yang menjadi sekutu Amerika dan Israel. Semuanya korup dan zalim. Hanya beza di sudut bangsa dan rupa paras tetapi tetap sama sifat dan perangainya. Yaitu MUNAFIQ. Lebih jahat dari kafir.

Persoalannya kenapa Najib mengarahkan Polis menembak rakyat dengan air berasid 'water-cannon' ketika mereka berhimpun di hadapan Kedutaan Amerika bagi mendesak Washington jangan mencampuri urusan pergolakan di Mesir?

Celakalah para pemimpin munafiq UMNO yang menjadi talibarut Amerika dan Zionis.

Nantikan jawapan daripada Allah SWT.

Kabinet Mubarak terlibat dlm pengeboman gereja di Alexandria

Masihkah kita ingat dengan kejadian membakar gereja di Kuala Lumpur dulu? Sebelum tertangkap 2 pemuda yang terlibat, penulis sendiri merasakan tindakan tersebut adalah perancangan jahat UMNO untuk memburukkan imej PAS agar dilihat sebagai sebuah parti ekstrim agama. Malang bagi UMNO bila kerja kejinya itu terdedah dengan pengakuan 2 pemuda yang ditahan dan dijatuhkan hukuman penjara. Mereka mengakui telah diupah oleh UMNO. Bila ditahan, UMNO lepas tangan.

Serupalah juga dengan kejadian pengeboman sebuah gereja di Alexandria, Mesir. Menteri Dalam Negeri Mesir dan mantan menterinya telah menuduh tentera Hamas di Gaza bertanggungjawab melakukannya.

Apakah motif tuduhan tersebut?

Samalah seperti apa yang berlaku di Malaysia. Matlamatnya ada untuk memfitnah dan memburukkan gerakan Islam agar dilihat sebagai pengganas.

Namun kebenaran tidak boleh disembunyikan selamanya. Akhirnya pekong rejim Hosni Mubarak yang bersekutu dengan Israel dan Amerika terbongkar bila pihak inteligen British sendiri mendedahkan bahawa Menteri dan bekas Menteri Dalam Negeri Mesir terlibat dengan pengeboman gereja tersebut.

Sila ikuti laporan beritanya di sini.

Perlukah dibawa pulang penuntut M'sia di Mesir?

Semalam, sambil menunggu ketibaan Ust Nik Abduh di Sekolah Al-Hafiz di Taman Sierra, sempatlah penulis berbual dengan beberapa orang sahabat. Antara topik perbualan kami ialah tentang apa yang sedang berlaku di Mesir ketika ini. Sambil berbual, seorang sahabat mencelah "Bang, sorang anak Abg Ajak (tauke pintu besi sedang sibuk menyiapkan pintu grel) belajar di Mesir." Lalu penulis menegurnya "Abg Ajak, jangan risaulah kerana pelajar kita semuanya selamat. Rakyat Mesir hanya mahu Hosni Mubarak letak jawatan. Kalaulah anak saya belajar di sana, tentu saya tak bagi dia balik, malah saya akan suruh dia bersama rakyat Mesir berdemo." Tersenyum Abg Ajak sambil menjawab "Abang pun tak risau sangat..."

Pasti ada di kalangan pembaca kurang setuju dengan pandangan penulis bahawa pelajar Malaysia tak perlu balik. Iyalah... mentang-mentang anak penulis sendiri tak belajar di sana, maka senanglah cakap.

Perlu disedari apa yang sedang berlaku di Mesir ketika ini adalah manifestasi daripada kezaliman dan kejahatan pemerintahan rejim Hosni Mubarak selama 30 tahun. Malah ada sumber menyebut jumlah kekayaannya saja mencecah angka USD70 bilion.

Selain kerajaan yang korup, banyak lagi kezaliman yang dilakukan oleh Hosni termasuk menyiksa, memenjara dan membunuh rakyat yang menentangnya. Dan umum mengetahui terdapat penjara bawah tanah di Mesir yang digunakan oleh SB untuk mendera, memukul dan menyiksa rakyat yang menyokong pembangkang. Malah selepas peristiwa 9/11, pihak Amerika sendiri menyerahkan suspek mereka kepada pihak berkuasa Mesir untuk disiksa di penjara tersebut dan dipaksa mengaku.

Kejahatan dan kemunafiqan Hosni Mubarak semakin ketara bila enggan membuka pintu sempadan Mesir - Palestin bagi membolehkan bantuan kemanusiaan tiba di Gaza. Setelah mendapat kritikan dunia, barulah dibuka sempadan walau seketika.

Hari ini kita sendiri melihat betapa hebatnya kebangkitan rakyat Mesir. Takde siapa yang menduga ianya berlaku. Namun bila 'bom' kebangkitan itu meletup di Tunisia, sepantas kilat 'letupan' tersebut meledak di bumi para Anbiya' itu.

Bagi penulis, seharusnya 11,000 pelajar Malaysia di sana tak perlu bimbang sebab kekecohan hanya berlaku di pusat bandar Kaherah. Dan bangunan yang terbakar adalah milik kerajaan. Bukan kediaman. Malah penulis difahamkan, kediaman para penuntut Malaysia di sana terletak jauh daripada lokasi demonstrasi.

Ikuti pandangan "Bawa Pulang Bawa Kesan Negatif" oleh Rohidzir Rais, salah seorang penuntut Malaysia di sana yang baru pulang.

KUALA LUMPUR, 6 Feb : Ketika rakyat dan kerajaan sibuk mahu membawa pelajar Malaysia di Mesir pulang, seorang rakyat Malaysia yang baru pulang dari sana mempunyai pendapat yang berlainan.

Rohidzir (tengah) terperangkap di tengah rusuhan di antara penunjuk perasaan dan polis. Asap hitam di belakang menunjukkan penujuk perasaan di Tahrir Square.

Bagi beliau, mereka tidak perlu dibawa pulang bahkan membawa pulang mereka memberikan kesan negatif kepada pelajar itu sendiri.

"Bagaimana dengan barangan mereka di sana dan apa pandangan penduduk sana yang melihat kita mahu bersama dengan mereka dalam keadaan aman tetapi lari ketika susah," kata Editor Kanan PTS Islamika, Ustaz Rohidzir Rais, 36 yang baru pulang dari sana.

Beliau lebih bersetuju dengan tindakan kerajaan negeri Kelantan yang menghantar wakil ke sana dan membekalkan wang untuk membantu pelajar yang menghadapi masalah.

Beliau mempersalahkan media tempatan kerana membesar-besarkan sesuatu isu yang tidak pun berlaku seperti pelajar wanita dirogol, kematian yang sebenarnya telah berlaku sebulan lalu dan tidak cukup makanan selain roti.

Rohidzir yang baru pulang ke tanah air dua hari lalu selepas seminggu terperangkap di dalam suasana demontrasi di Kaherah, tindakan media itu sangat melampau.

"Media dengan maksud tertentu menimbulkan suasana resah perasaan di kalangan ibu bapa yang setiap hari dihidangkan dengan kejadian yang seolah-olahnya anak-anak mereka akan diperapa-apakan oleh keadaan di Mesir.

"Sedangkan pengalaman seminggu saya di sana, kami boleh tidur lena hingga 10 jam kerana langsung tidak terasa apa-apa melainkan sedikit sahaja, malah penduduk tempatan pula bersedia melindungi rakyat Malaysia.

"Ibu bapa yang kelam kabut dengan suasana tidak menentu yang dibangkitkan oleh pihak media dengan sajian berita menakutkan setiap hari lantas mereka mendesak pihak berwajib untuk bawa pulang pelajar," jelasnya.

Tambahnya, jika media memaparkan makanan yang ada roti sahaja tiada nasi dan sebagainya seperti makanan Malaysia, itu sesuatu yang sangat lucu kerana memang orang Arab makan roti yang merupakan makanan asasi mereka.

Makanan seperti beras masih ada walaupun dalam jumlah berkurangan dari biasa dan harga sedikit bertambah dari sebelumnya namun pelajar-pelajar itu masih mampu meneruskan kehidupan mereka tanpa perlu pulang asalkan mereka mengikut arahan pegawai negara ini yang bertugas di sana, ujarnya.

Rohidzir ditemui di pinggir ibu kota selepas sehari pulang ke Malaysia namun kelihatan gembira dengan peristiwa ini meskipun terperangkap selama seminggu di sana kerana pengalaman ini baginya, sangat bernilai.

Beliau dan Imran Azmi, juga Editor Kanan Islamika, dalam rangka menghadiri Pesta Buku Kaherah yang terbesar di dunia Arab yang dijadualkan bermula pada 26 Januari lalu dalam usahanya mencari buku-buku terkenal Mesir untuk diterjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Melayu.

"Memang ketika hendak pergi, kami sudah tahu tentang kebangkitan rakyat itu tetapi kerana sudah berpengalaman bahawa ia tidak lama kerana memang Mesir adalah negara demontrasi; kami tidak menjangkakan mereka akan berhimpun melebihi 2 juta di Tahrir Square (Dataran Merdeka).

"Sesampainya kami di Dataran Merdeka langsung terperangkap di tengah-tengah suasana demontrasi (muzaharat) dan sempat juga mengambil gambar-gambar menarik untuk titipan sejarah ke dalam bentuk buku.

"Niat hati ketika datang untuk meninjau tempat bersejarah kerana empat tahun ketika belajar dahulu, tidak berkesempatan berbuat demikian, rupanya kami terlibat secara tidak langsung di dalam senario mencipta sejarah baru," jelasnya.

Selain itu, tambahnya, keputusan Kerajaan Malaysia disifatkan sebagai tidak mempunyai rasa persahabatan sesama umat Islam ekoran membawa pulang ribuan pelajar ketika Mesir dilanda musibah.

Rohidzir yang berpengalaman selama empat tahun (1998 - 2002) belajar di negara itu berpendapat, sewajarnya rakyat Malaysia tidak perlu dibawa pulang.

"Kita dilihat sebagai hanya mementingkan diri sendiri sahaja atau selfish kerana hanya sanggup tinggal di sana ketika senang dan meninggalkannya ketika mereka ditimpa bencana," jelasnya.

Kedudukan tempat tinggal pelajar negara ini, ujarnya, agak jauh dalam beberapa jam perjalanan kereta dan apa yang berlaku di Kaherah seperti dentuman, tidak pun didengari oleh pelajar.

Dalam pada itu, Rohidzir turut membayangkan, jika pun semua pelajar berjaya dibawa pulang dengan selamat, bagaimana keselamatan peralatan belajar mereka yang ditinggal sementara seperti kitab-kitab yang banyak dan kandungan komputer sangat berharga.

Setelah aman, ujarnya, pelajar-pelajar akan datang semula ke Mesir dengan kos siapa pula dan banyak lagi perkembangan negatif yang bakal berlaku ekoran tindakan kurang tepat yang diambil oleh pihak berwajib.

Sementara itu, beliau menyanjung tinggi usaha segera yang dilakukan oleh Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan yang menghantar Ustaz Zulkifli Yaakob dengan membawa wang sebanyak RM120,000 di ketika satu badan wakil kerajaan pusat hanya diperuntukkan sebanyak RM35,000.

Rohidzir bagaimanapun melahirkan rasa syukur tidak terhingga kerana selamat pulang dengan membawa perjanjian hakmilik buku dengan penerbit terbesar negara Arab, Darus-Salam.

Paris Hilton converts to Islam

Hidayah adalah milik mutlak Allah. Dia berhak mengurniakan kepada sesiapa yang dikehendakinya. Sebelum ini dunia Barat dan Eropah dikejutkan dengan keIslaman Mike Tyson dan Allahyarham Mikhail Jackson. Dan yang terkini, seorang lagi celebriti sosial Amerika yang panas lagi terkenal mendapat hidayah Allah SWT dan memilih Islam sebagai pegangan hidupnya. Berikut adalah berita tentang keIslaman Paris Hilton (Tahirah).

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Former American socialite, Paris Hilton has converted to Islam, her spokesman, Ian Brinkham, has revealed to CBS news.

"She has been toying with the idea for quite a while now and when she was imprisoned at Century Regional Detention Facility in 2007, she encountered a few people who had already converted," Mr Brinkham said.

By converting to the Muslim faith, Paris Hilton has decided to shun her old life as a celebrity skank.

Paris Hilton wants to spread the word of Islam to the world

Speaking from an Islamic study retreat in Jeddah, she said: "I have now found total peace in my life. Before, I used to be known as an STD-ridden streetwalker , a 'hoe' and a person of loose morals, but now, things have changed. Allah be praised."

Hollywood Jihad

Ms Hilton plans to return to Los Angeles next week to start her own Islamic school in the middle of Beverly Hills.

"Forget Scientology or Kaballah. This is the religion to be in now. I'm not going to be wearing a piece of red string on my wrist or walk around like a robot talking to Xenu. Islam is the new must-have religion. and I'm going to spread the word of the Koran to everyone," an excited Paris Hilton said.

Paris Hilton also plans to change her name to 'Tahirah' which means 'Pure, chaste' in Arabic. Her Islamic school will open in July and is set to become a popular Hollywood spiritual haunt for many celebrities.

Interview with Rachid Ghannouchi

Rachid Ghannouchi speaks with Al Jazeera about his political strategy and reaching out to the country's youth.
Rachid Ghannouchi returned to his homeland on Sunday, after nearly 20 years in exile.

Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri sat down with the leader of Tunisia's al-Nahda - a pro-democracy Islamist party which remains illegal, even in post-Ben Ali Tunisia - to discuss his party's ambitions for the future.

Were you surprised by the welcome that you received, the thousands of people at the airport there to welcome you back to your homeland?

No, I was not surprised, I always had belief that the Tunisian people were faithful, and that [deposed president Zine El Abidine] Ben Ali's attempt at distorting our image was not successful.

What were your feelings when you landed and arrived and saw your country for the first time in more than twenty years?

I felt great joy and pride in the Tunisian people, who succeeded through their peaceful, popular revolution to topple a dictator who was supported by external powers.

I was proud that I came back holding my head high, not having submitted to anyone but my creator and not having offer any compromises or anything to the toppled dictator.

How do you feel about the situation now, that your movement is not part of the interim coalition government? Do you feel that they are moving in the right direction towards election right now?

The situation is still vague. The dictator has been toppled, but the remains of the dictator are still there. Through the constitution which was tailor made for the dictator, through the parliament which was the fourth parliament which was made by the dictator, through the laws that restrict all freedoms, through the political police that are still harassing people, so the situation is still serious.

But do you feel that the government has made some concessions at least? There are only two junior ministers that are part of the old ruling party, and the prime minister himself has said that he will stand down when there is an election.

This government is still not stable, every time there is pressure that is exerted by the street protests it throws some members and replaces them with new members, so it is still unstable.

So what do you think this government needs to do to bring some stability back, and are you willing to contribute to that through your movement?

There must be a real national unity government that includes all political parties as well as civil society institutions, including the trade unions, the union of lawyers without excluding anyone. This government still has the same features of exclusion and containment of the revolution.

You have said that you are not going to run for president. Is that still the case, now that you have seen some of the support in this country?

The support that I have seen will not change my decision because my decision was not based on any fear of a lack of popularity. I always had trust in the Tunisian people, it's for other reasons, that is, that Tunisians need a younger leadership and there are younger generations within al-Nahda who will be more appropriate.

How popular do you think your movement is now? It's a long time since you were here, a long time since you took part in an election. Many things have happened to your movement, many of your members have been imprisoned. A new generation has grown up not really knowing about your movement ... Do you think you stand a chance in the elections?

There were tens of thousands who came to the airport, mostly young women and men - some of the women not wearing head-scarves - all testify to the failure of the previous regime to destroy the memory of the Tunisian people who are faithful to the respected figures. I could give you any figure, but the only figure that could reveal the extent of the popularity of any party is the elections.

Let's talk about the ideology of your party. Would you say that it's similar to the AKP in Turkey?

Since you mention Turkey, most of my books and my articles have been translated to Turkish, and form part of the reference point for the AKP. The Turkish experience remains the closest to the Tunisian situation, culturally, politically and socially, Turkey is the closest case to Tunisia. So al-Nahda, if you were to compare it [with another movement], cannot be compared to the Taliban or Iran, the closest comparison would be to the AKP.

So if you party won, would you like to see Tunisia similar to how Turkey is right now?

There are similarities, but obviously each country has its specific conditions, we admire the Turkish case and those who are in charge of it are our close friends.

It's very interesting that you said that some women who came to the airport had no head scarves. There have been women protesting, concerned about perhaps your movement and what it would mean for them, whether you would want women in this country to wear head scarves, to cover up their heads. Can you just explain what your feelings are on this issue?

We have continuously defended the right of women and men to choose their own lifestyle, and we are against the imposition of the headscarf in the name of Islam and we are against the banning of the headscarf in the name of secularism or modernity.

We have seen some people preaching on Avenue Habib Bourghuiba. In the name of your movement, could you just explain who these people are and what they're preaching about?

I have not heard about them.

So you do not think that there's a grassroots movement growing in Tunisia, trying to gain support for your movement? It's nothing that you have, perhaps, instigated?

There are many that have grown up while we were absent, we have been forced to be absent from the scene for thirty years ... and generations have grown up and been influenced by our thoughts. Many have, for example, set up Facebook groups in our name, but officially they are not members.

What are you doing now to gain support around Tunis for your party? What exactly is your movement doing to gain support amongst young people around the country?

Now that dictatorship has been toppled, there is great interest in al-Nahda and we are unable to encompass all the ... who are interested in joining. We need our own media, our own channels, to educate new generations following the moderate, democratic Islam which we want to become mainstream, not just among our members, but among Tunisian society.

Let's talk about the security situation. We have spoken to other opposition leaders who are concerned about their own safety, and that they feel unsafe as they did during Ben Ali. Can you just tell us how you feel since you are back? Do you feel safe? Do you feel secure?

Yes, security at the moment is out of control, to the point that each person feels at risk of any attack. But not from these people, we are amongst our people, and we do not feel that any attack will happen…I feel protected, in addition to divine protection, I feel the protection of the Tunisian people and by this revolution.

Let's talk about Egypt. First of all, what is your message to the Egyptian people who are uprising against Hosni Mubarak. As a Tunisian, what is your message to them?

I am very proud of the Egyptian revolution. I am optimistic the Tunisian people have given a model for how, through a peaceful revolution, people can topple the strongest dictatorships.

The success of the Egyptian revolution would be a gift for the Tunisian people because it would protect their own revolution, so I hope the Egyptian revolution will not stop until it achieves its aims of toppling dictatorship and establishing a democratic transitional government.

Do you think the Muslim Brotherhood will play more role in the uprising?

It's clear that the Muslim Brotherhood are present strongly in this revolution but it’s also clear that they did not raise any particular Muslim Brotherhood slogans and neither did any of the other opposition parties, and this is again a Tunisian lesson, that the revolution cannot be contained or exploited by any political party, that it’s a revolution of the people and should remain so. The Muslim Brotherhood has learnt this lesson and others have learnt it as well.

Do you feel like that's how you have had to represent yourself in Tunisia coming back - it's interesting to see you wearing Western suit, and when you came off the plane, you were wearing a Western suit as well. Do you feel that that has influenced you in the way you come back to Tunisia?

That has no relationship to this, I always dressed like this.

How close do you feel to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt?

Islam is the common point, and our moderate view of Islam. However, each country has its specific condition and independent decision-making processes.

People are extremely concerned about what the future holds. What is your message to them?

The people must protect their revolution if they value the important achievement of toppling the dictator. The blood of the martyrs is trusted in their hands, and not all their goals have been achieved. The street must remain mobilised, the genuine opposition and civil society institutions must coordinate to build a common vision, on which a national unity government will be formed to rebuild a political, democratic life in this country.
