Malaysia: After outcry, Muslim group withdraws article “Islam on top, infidels below”

Oct 12, 2014 8:52 am By Robert Spencer

Abdullah_Zaik_Abdul_Rahman_1906_840_560_100But where did they get this idea in the first place? Could it have been from the Qur’an, which calls Muslims “the best of people” (3:110) and unbelievers “the most vile of created beings” (98:6)? The sharp dichotomy between believers and unbelievers runs through all of Islam, and is epitomized by this verse: “Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are merciful to one another, harsh to the unbelievers” (Qur’an 48:29). In other words, Islam on top, Infidels below. It has proven impolitic to say this aloud in Malaysia today, but that doesn’t mean that many Muslims there have stopped believing it.

“After backlash, Isma retracts article titled ‘Islam on top, infidels below,’” Malay Mail Online, October 12, 2014:

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 — Faced with scrutiny, Islamist group Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) took down today an article published yesterday on its website, which had argued that “infidels” are to always remain below Muslims.

The group initially posted a correction to the article after wrongly attributing it to Isma central committee member Abdul Halim Abdullah, but later deleted the article from its website after it was picked up by news portals The Malaysian Insider and Malaysiakini.

“On October 11, ISMAweb has published the article and now ISMAweb has retracted the article,” said the group’s statement today, referring to its portal

“ISMAweb apologises for what happened,” it added without further explanation.

The article titled “Islam di atas, kafir di bawah” [translated: Islam on top, infidels below] was penned by a self-styled “Isma fighter” identified only as “Rijal”, and claimed that the world had only been in peace when Islam reigned 1,300 years ago.

“That was why our ancestors martyred themselves to chase Christian Invaders away from Tanah Melayu. They were not willing for Christian Invaders to be on top or to have supremacy on this blessed land,” the article had said.

“That is why we reject the ‘Malaysian Malaysia’ concept because it wants to return the status of this Islamic motherland to its pre-Independence aspects regarding the status of Islam and its adherents.”…

    Isn’t that funny? I have always felt that muslims were on the bottom. With the West being so advanced in technology, science, medicine, literature, and culture, you would think it was obvious.

      “O Allah [as in ‘I’ll hava Coke, or a Pepsi’], why have you cursed the best of people [the Quran-inspired descriptor used by Muslims to identify themselves] with no brains, but have amply supplied the infidels with knowledge & clear thinking, leaving us so ashamed and in poverty.”

    This episode reminds me of when our friends at CAIR purged their website of thousands of entries along the same lines. I wonder if they still exist, they could maybe on archive.org, if it wasn’t before it began en masse file acquisition, and even then only if they had the guts.

    It doesn’t matter, cuz if the CAIR files still exist, if, there would be no enterprising reporter who would ferret them out, and even then he’d do it only if he had the guts to risk being shot, stabbed or blown up.

    And *then*, even if the CAIR files were exposed, the RINOs would never, ever, dare to use them as a plank from which to destroy the GS Party, as in Globo-Socialist, which is still for some reason called the Democratic Party.

    Over the long haul, Moslems are always publicly held harmless for being… Moslems.

    Let’s contemplate Islamic supremacism in the context of Talmud Judaism… Oh, and what is an inspiration of Islamic hatred for heretics and infidels if not Deuteronomy 13, hmmm?

    The worst aspect of Equivalency is not that it’s so pathetic, which it is, but the mistakedness it involves is extremely dangerous. Pathetic because we don’t see Jewish gangs roaming the world threatening and mass murdering, we *do* see Jews in our infested universities, like the Moslems, but there they are progressives who would only acknowledge Deuteronomy to deride it. Also pathetic because the other 98% of the Old Testament is the belief system that gave birth to the best and most effective national cultures in the history of mankind.

    And the Moslems, what *is* the rest of their belief system? Their enablers call that content obsolescent, I call the rest of the Holy Ko-Ran a murder manual.

    Those in the Equivalent crowd are dreaming, and detaching from fatual reality is the cost of that dream. What’s the chance that the Moslems and their Ko-Ran will turn out as well as did the Jews and their Bible? Nil, that’s what. Equivocate that.

    We forget sometimes that the largest Islamic country is Indonesia (Malaysia”s) close relative.

    Both countries are very Islamic and Islam must be on top.

    RECITE
    Islamic circular logic

    “Muhammad is the apostle of — Allah.”

    Yet,
    Allah is the sock-puppet of —- Muhammad

    In other words, Allah only tells Muhammad what Muhammad ‘recites’ to Allah.

    Muslims are so stupid they think that they call fool themselves and the world into believing that Muhammad was a prophet.

    Lame. Neither Christians are Jews are running around killing people who don’t believe as they do. You had to scour the Bible for one verse. The Koran is chock full of kill the infidelisms. FYI Christians adhere to the New Testament Dueteromny is in the Old Testament.

    A passage from the New World Encycopedia on “Apostasy”:

    “It should also be noted that from the time of early Talmudic sages in the second century C.E., the rabbis took the attitude that Jews could hold to a variety of theological attitudes and still be considered a Jew. (This contrasts with the Christian view that without adhering to the correct belief—called orthodoxy—one was not a true Christian.) In modern times, this attitude was exemplified by Abraham Isaac Kook (1864-1935), the first Chief Rabbi of the Jewish community in the British Mandate for Palestine, who held that even Jewish atheists were not apostate. Kook taught that, in practice, atheists were actually helping true religion to burn away false images of God, thus in the end, serving the purpose of true monotheism.”

    Can one see anything like this in Islamic tradition?

    nothing new here

    http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/jewish/1772-jewsinislam.asp

    In 1772 a Muslim scholar in Cairo was asked how Jews and Christians should be treated. The answer is found in this selection, issued four years before the American Declaration of Independence. This answer is not law, but only the opinion of a conservative Muslim. The opinion is in Arabic.

    ……….”One may read that which follows in Bukhari and Muslim [religious authorities of the ninth century]: ‘Jews and Christians shall never begin a greeting; if you encounter one of them on the road, push him into the narrowest and tightest spot.’ The absence of every mark of consideration toward them is obligatory for us; we ought never to give them the place of honor in an assembly when a Muslim is present. This is in order to humble them and to honor the true believers….

      If Muslims are so superior why have they not contributed anything except the Arab alphabet to civilization (and that was BM, before Mohamed)? From electricity to computers to flush toilets they have contributed nothing! If it were not for oil, these idiots would still be craping in the sand like there primitive ancestors did like about 80 years ago.

    ‘Mitochondrial DNA contains 37 genes, all of which are essential for normal mitochondrial function. Thirteen of these genes provide instructions for making enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. The remaining genes provide instructions for making molecules called transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), which are chemical cousins of DNA. These types of RNA help assemble protein building blocks (amino acids) into functioning proteins.”

    Don’t you just love it when some ignorant ass tries to run a bluff, and pass themselves off as informed of any issue (scientific, historical etc.), and they manage to make themselves look like the ignorant ass that they are??

    Islam is set up so as to feed the “bully mind”, the lust for domination, the sort of sick mind that cannot feel itself significant until and unless it is domineering and domineering over – humiliating and hurting – another person or persons.

    The concept of equality, real cooperation and “win-win” is utterly alien to the Muslim zero-sum view of the world which sees only masters and slaves, Victors and Vanquished, predators and prey.

    • Susan says

      These Muslims are so tribal and backward. They belong back in the first millennium. I can’t think of a more depressing or repressive way to believe or live. There is nothing life affirming or positive about Islam. From “honor killings” to public beheadings, their hate and intolerance for any other belief or system shows how arrogant and deceptive they are.

    There was no such pace as “malaysia” before the British colonial governementt created it and furthermore before Islam arrived there it was Hindu and Buddhist. So it is just another Islamic conquest.

      If I have it straight, post-colonial Malaysia is the union of British North Borneo and Malaya, from which Singapore seceded.
