Educating Ibrahim Ali

Ibrahim Ali says that Malcolm X was assassinated for preaching Islam to the Christians. I wonder what ITM has been teaching its students. I would like to educate Ibrahim Ali so that he knows that Malcolm X was assassinated by Muslim members of the US Chapter of Perkasa (Black Power movement) for ‘murtad’ (apostasy) when he left the Nation of Islam.

Kit Siang flays Ibrahim Ali for Malcolm X analogy

(The Malaysian Insider) - The DAP today lashed out at Datuk Ibrahim Ali for attempting to draw analogy an between the assassination of Malcom X and Teo Nie Ching’s visit to a surau last Sunday.

“Is he suggesting that Teo should be killed like Malcolm X?” said DAP parlimentary leader Lim Kit Siang today.

Ibrahim in a short text message yesterday to The Malaysian Insider said that “In America, Islamic preacher Malcom X, who preached to Christians and entered their churches was shot dead but in Selangor an ‘unclean DAP politician’ was dragged into the surau’s prayer room.”

“Rational Malaysians must recoil at the intemperate language and irresponsible imagery used by the Perkasa chief,” said the Ipoh Timor MP.

Lim pointed out that there was no consensus up till now on who was responsible for shooting Malcolm X in Manhattan’s Auduborn Ballroom in New York on February 2, 1965 although three black Muslims were convicted for his murder.

“But why was Malcolm X’s assassination raised in this context?” said Lim.

He said the invoking of Malcolm X’s assassination must be condemned in the strongest possible terms by all Malaysians as it has gone beyond the pale of acceptable public discourse.

Lim pointed out that Ibrahim’s statement was also an affront to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s inclusive 1 Malaysia, where Malaysians accept and not just tolerate the nation’s richest asset which is its ethnic, cultural and religious diversity.

Yesterday Ibrahim called for “strong action” to be taken against Teo, saying that she must be charged for “desecrating” the Surau Al Huda.

He called on the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) to charge the Serdang MP and pointed out that the council had previously charged former Perlis Mufti Dr Asri Zainul for preaching without accreditation and there was no reason not to act against Teo.

Ibrahim also said failure to take action would be an affront to Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah who reportedly is upset over the incident.

Teo yesterday issued an apology to the Selangor Sultan and expressed dismay that the issue was being politicisied by Umno and Utusan Malaysia.

“I fully support her apology for any unintended offence caused by her visit to the Surau Al Huda in her constituency in the course of her parliamentary duties to help her constituents,” said Lim today.

Ibrahim yesterday also used the incident to lashed out at DAP ‘s coalition partners.

He pointed out that those who invited Teo to the surau were PAS and PKR members who are Muslims and that she delivered a Ramadan Ceramah to a Muslim congregation.

Ibrahim accused PAS of selling out Islam in Malaysia for its political survival and added it was the work of Satan who had succeeded in confusing those who claim to be religious but does not follow Islam.”

Yesterday Teo explained that the surau committee had asked her office for a donation to upgrade their premises which she agreed to.

She pointed out that she was invited to the Surau and was also invited in to say a few words by the congregation and denied speaking on politics during her address.

Mais yesterday announced that they would be sending a warning letter to Teo.

Its chairman Datuk Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa said they had taken over the management of the surau.

***************************************

On March 8, 1964, Malcolm X publicly announced his break from the Nation of Islam. He said that he was still a Muslim, but he felt the Nation of Islam had "gone as far as it can" because of its rigid religious teachings. Malcolm X said he was going to organize a black nationalist organization that would try to "heighten the political consciousness" of African Americans. He also expressed his desire to work with other civil rights leaders and said that Elijah Muhammad had prevented him from doing so in the past.

One reason for the separation was growing tension between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad because of Malcolm X's dismay about rumors of Muhammad's extramarital affairs with young secretaries. Such actions were against the teachings of the Nation. Although at first Malcolm X ignored the rumors, he spoke with Muhammad's son Wallace and the women making the accusations. He came to believe that they were true, and Muhammad confirmed the rumors in 1963. Muhammad tried to justify his actions by referring to precedents by Biblical prophets.

Another reason was resentment by people within the Nation. As Malcolm X had become a favorite of the media, many in the Nation's Chicago headquarters felt that he was over-shadowing Muhammad. Louis Lomax's 1963 book about the Nation of Islam, When the Word Is Given, featured a picture of Malcolm X on its cover and included five of his speeches, but only one of Muhammad's, which greatly upset Muhammad. Muhammad was also envious that a publisher was interested in Malcolm X's autobiography.

After leaving the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X founded Muslim Mosque, Inc., a religious organization, and the Organization of Afro-American Unity, a secular group that advocated Pan-Africanism. On March 26, 1964, he met Martin Luther King, Jr. in Washington, D.C., after a press conference which followed both men attending the Senate to hear the debate on the Civil Rights bill. This was the only time the two men ever met; their meeting lasted only one minute, just long enough for photographers to take a picture.

In April, Malcolm X made a speech titled "The Ballot or the Bullet" in which he advised African Americans to exercise their right to vote wisely. Several Sunni Muslims encouraged Malcolm X to learn about Islam. Soon he converted to Sunni Islam, and decided to make his pilgrimage to Mecca.

On February 21, 1965, in Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom, Malcolm X began to speak to a meeting of the Organization of Afro-American Unity when a disturbance broke out in the crowd of 400. A man yelled, "Nigger! Get your hand outta my pocket!" As Malcolm X and his bodyguards moved to quiet the disturbance, a man rushed forward and shot him in the chest with a sawed-off shotgun. Two other men charged the stage and fired handguns, hitting him 16 times. Furious onlookers caught and beat one of the assassins as the others fled the ballroom. Malcolm X was pronounced dead at 3:30 p.m., shortly after he arrived at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

Talmadge Hayer, a Nation of Islam member also known as Thomas Hagan, was arrested on the scene. Eyewitnesses identified two more suspects, Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X Johnson, also members of the Nation. All three were charged in the case. At first Hayer denied involvement, but during the trial he confessed to having fired shots at Malcolm X. He testified that Butler and Johnson were not present and were not involved in the assassination, but he declined to name the men who had joined him in the shooting. All three men were convicted.

Butler, now known as Muhammad Abdul Aziz, was paroled in 1985. He became the head of the Nation of Islam's Harlem mosque in New York in 1998. He continues to maintain his innocence. Johnson, now known as Khalil Islam, was released from prison in 1987. During his time in prison, he rejected the teachings of the Nation of Islam and converted to Sunni Islam. He, too, maintains his innocence. Hayer, now known as Mujahid Halim, was paroled in 2010.

All Ali knows is how to find scapegoats for his own failures. That's where he is 'well educated' in. That's what his education is all about ... find someone or something to blame. Isn't this what umno's NEP is supposed to be??

ibrahim ali is a bastard.

it's sad to see what he has been reduced to these days, for someone who was a dsai peer and with equal religious credentials. people like him should be out-voted in the next ge, and when pr take over putrajaya, be thrown the full book at, civil law-wise and islamic law-wise. he will then know the things he has between his legs are capable of getting severe pins and needles.

it is the same everywhere with most stupid muslims like Ibrahim Ali..they are fanatics and do not think with a clear mind ( did he ever have one in the first place?) They do not take the time and pain to study and really learn(malas lah) Christians and others (kafirs) always run to help the non-kafirs. Today the kafir CAtholic Chruch is organizing a second collection to help non-kafirs in Pakistan. In the same way millions of dollars are poured in to help non-kafir nations whenever they need help..but at the end of the day there is no gratitude just like ungrateful dogs . They will demonstrate to kill those who are kafirs even though they came as a migrant into a a white country that accepted them out of humanity and sympathy. They were taken care off by the kafirs tax-money. These non-kafirs will say that these people will still go to hell because an angel will be standing at heaven's gates to ask their name. If it is not a non-kafir name..bye bye ..straight to hell. aiyoh! aiyoh!! why some Muslims so stupid one ah??
FIKIRAN YANG KOLOT. And yet many of these non-kafirs are working in kafir's company and places where they are surviving and being fed with the kafir's sweat and work. BLOODY HYPOCRITES!! they are making Allah a hypocrite too!!! There are some kafirs today who have sacrificed their lives to save non-kafirs in many places like India, Pakistan and Iraq. Some have donated blood even. Yet are you going to tell me that at the gate of heaven( or whatever )this angel ( or whatever) is going to ask this stupid question, " Oi you kafir or non-kafir??
Does it matter angel? I just gave up my life for a non-kafir!!! no no..sorry lah...your name is not a MOOOOslim ..non kaFIR NAME.....AIYAH sorry lah..cannot enter heaven. Ibrahim Ali has been whacking a kafirs salary his whole life time..maybe even now I don't know. Most of the time when they BUKA PUASA IN BIG BIG HOTELS a kafir is paying for their buka puasa...hal-hell or halal...I don't known..but I know ..with UMNO Islam has gone to the sewer....

Again as a reminder to all , this has nothing to do with him being muslim or Islam . Calling him a muslim itself is very much insulting to Islam. He is just another UMNO boy blessed by our PM ~~Rosmah~~ Najib. smilies/grin.gif

By the way, MAIS is just another running dog working for UMNO.

What a great merdeka day to all!!

Ibrahim Ali's agenda is very clear. Create a disturbance, any disturbance so that May 13 can take place and the ISA used. Then no more general elections ( and we know why don't we?) UMNO is afraid of general elections as they will lose VERY VERY BADLY. Old man Mamaktahi is behind all this sandiwara. BUT you know what? I think we should trhank Ibrahiom Ali. BECAUSE the more shit he cerates the more peopel are driven away from their support of a party (read UMNO) of madmen. Brin g it on Ibrahim Ali, Bring it on.

Too often the royalty is dragged into the picture, being insulted by this incident and then being insulted by yet another. And too often these insults are hurled by the UMNOPOOtras on their behalf. I presume by their muted silence, they are actually giving tacit approval, hence their beholden status of mere figureheads. 1DaulatMalaysia?

Times like this, I wonder about the people in DAP, even Lim Sr. and Karpal, as to their stewardship of the party ?

I just don't see the need to apologise, no matter the allegation, accusation being bantered. Fact remains : Serdang MP made a contribution towards the up keep of a 'surau', and hence the visit - so thank you very much and leave it as that, period.

Why the need to react to baseless accusations ? Why second guess the good intentions of the MP ? Any reaction or the apology only serves to dignify the callous hate rhetoric coming from the mouth of that 'ketupat' Ibrahim Ali.

Now onwards, don't ever feel the need to respond to anything that 'ketupat' has to say. The bottomline, no one should ever have to apologise for any deed derived from good intentions.

I'm not a DAP member or align with any political concern but if you DAP fellows need a crash course in "ethics", just drop me a line and I'll be glad to spare a little time to help with any query, make sense of impending confusion and perhaps grow up a little along the way.

My assessment sees many in DAP make for an easy target but despite the few misgivings (down to immaturity), DAP will continue to prosper if the young one's hold steadfast to the convictions set forth by senior mentors before them.

While important to weigh all options correctly and constantly be on your toes as public figures, please not make it a habit to apologise all so quickly, like in this instance of Teo's 'surau' visit. Again, I feel the need to really hammer the last point in.

In service to nation and society, one should never apologise nor second guess any deed or action done with good intentions - may that be a mantra to help guide you lot through the coming months.

Regards as always and Happy Happy Merdeka all out there.

Pete. . ., it is impossible to educate this knucklehead! One thing for sure is that he loves to spew nonsense and at times it is totally outrageous just like his remarks on Malcolm X. He often talks on subjects he knew nothing. The reason being is that this knucklehead is lazy to read a book (typical of most UMNO leaders too!). The only thing he (and also UMNO leaders) reads are the numerical and words on a Malaysian ringgit bank note and the mind-warping Utusan Meloya! Furthermore, their pea-sized brain could not make them comprehend whatever they read. Educating them will be an effort in futile! Seriously Pete. . ., you are wasting your precious time trying to educate him!

MT readers/ activists of all races, I suggest reading this excellent book. . .
