I hope to refute Ibrahim’s claims from a Quranic perspective and to show how the Quran completely rejects his point of view. Worse still, it considers Ibrahim’s own views as the views which run contrary to the Quran.
By Farouk A Peru
After the whole Siti Inshah incident which insulted our friends of the other faiths, nothing surprises me anymore. The racism and religious bigotry practiced by some of our Malay Muslims have reached a crescendo. Things will only get worse with time if we fail to reverse this mental condition. We will simply be unable to do dig ourselves out of that hole if that happens and our nation will fall to ruin. Why? All because we choose to be political over the lowest discriminating factor: race.
The latest incident is about the Serdang MP’s visit to Surau Al-Huda. We must take YB Teo Nie Ching’s visit in good faith. She went to the surau with a donation and gave a talk about higher education loans. There was nothing political about her visit. Regrettably even the most sincere intentions can be played upon to stoke the most heinous sentiments. One can expect no less from Ibrahim Ali who seized upon this opportunity faster than a cobra strikes its victim.
Ibrahim Ali’s language about the issue reflects a horrible bigotry. He used the word ‘desecrate’ and the phrase ‘unclean DAP politician’. He also rhetorically claims that this is a lesson from God showing how PAS has ‘sold out’ Islam and that this is visit is ‘shaitan confusing the Muslims’.
The former Perlis Mufti, Dato’ Asri had already given evidence on why YB Teo’s visit wasn’t against Islamic laws but his evidence was historical. I hope to refute Ibrahim’s claims from a Quranic perspective and to show how the Quran completely rejects his point of view. Worse still, it considers Ibrahim’s own views as the views which run contrary to the Quran.
For a start, the Quran does not bar anyone from entering a masjid. The Quran actually tells children of Adam , that is to say anyone at all, to enter every masjid with their best clothing and to eat and drink yet not be wasteful (7/31). This shows that anyone can go and participate in any of the mosque activities and even participate in their festivities.
Secondly, the Quran equates the establishment of social justice as the cornerstone of every masjid (7/29). This verse is also addressed to the children of Adam, thus not restricting people according to faith. What was YB Teo doing if not helping the members of the surau’s congregation, thus establishing social justice? It seems Ibrahim Ali is in a muddle! YB Teo was in no way desecrating the surau at all. Indeed she was honouring it.

I just saw a bunch of AENO putras dining at Old Town Coffee now, @ 9.30 in the morning in the month of Ramadhan.....Some more in the broad daylight!..So what the MIB and the so called religious body sponsored by this party got to say about tht...??? Cleary they use evrything inlcuding God to potray themselve as angel, and other who are their enemy the Devil.
But in other hand, non-muslim out of respect visit surau, they quickly condemn they are not "clean".
So, who are clean? Now wonder those good muslim and malay in this country was being look down togerther with all this Ameno Malay becoz of this few devil...memang rosak kerana Ameno.

He and his ilk will soon be vanquished.
All their evil deeds, plans, intentions will be nullified, negated & cancelled. Surely good will prevail over Eat Bra & Ham & his cohorts.

Since he was an ITM graduate, I do believe the biggest influence on him is his brain has been washed and program by the BTN machines and probably some of his college mates and lecturers.

Di sini ingin saya tanya:
1. Adakah tingkahlaku Ibrahim Katak dan puak-puak UMNO ini selaras dengan ajaran Islam?
2. Adakah apa yang cuba disebarkan bahawa orang-orang bukan Muslim tidak dibenarkan masuk ke surau/masjid ini terkandung dalam Al Quran?
Pada pendapat saya, tingkahlaku Ibrahim Katak dan puak-puak UMNO ini telah mencemarkan nama baik Islam dan memberikan persepsi yang negative kepada orang bukan Islam terhadap Islam. Puak-puak seperti ini patutnya dihukum gantung mati demi untuk mempertahankan nama baik Islam.
