BEBERAPA hari lalu kita dikejutkan dengan kejadian yang telah menimpa seorang guru Cina Muslim yang diarahkan menanggalkan tudung jika ingin terus mengajar di sekolah berkenaan. Bukan sahaja amaran itu dihamburkan malah beliau turut diancam keselamatannya jika enggan berbuat demikian.
Itulah nasib seorang guru beragama Islam walaupun sebangsa namun akibat rasisnya dengan agama Islam maka segala tohmahan dan penghinaan dilemparkan kepada guru muallaf ini.
Ini salah satu rentetan peristiwa dari ribuan kejadian yang berlaku di Malaysia. Perkara ini berlaku di Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) Nan Ya, Teluk Sengat, Kota Tinggi, Johor Darul Takzim.
Salahkah memakai tudung semasa mengajar? Adakah menjadi suatu kesalahan seorang guru beragama Islam menutup aurat di dalam sekolah Cina?
Pelik! Hairan! Apabila Menteri Pendidikan II, P. Kamalanathan lebih mementingkan diri dan menyibukkan diri dengan menghasut semua ahli MIC seluruh negara membuat report atas pemuda yang menumbuk beliau. Ahli Parlimen Hulu Selangor ini lebih prihatin dengan diri sendiri daripada berkhidmat untuk rakyat.
Jika dulu fitnah pakatan mengatakan ada pelajar Cina dan India makan di dalam tandas semasa bulan puasa, laju beliau datang ke sekolah tersebut dan menyatakan kekesalan kepada guru besar terbabit. Jika dulu ada kaum India yang mempertikaikan ibadah qurban di dalam sekolah kerana dikatakan tidak sesuai ditonton oleh pelajar kaum India, terus membuat arahan supaya ibadah qurban DILARANG dilakukan di dalam sekolah.
Tetapi apabila ada seorang guru beragama Islam dipaksa membuka tudung jika hendak mengajar, kenapa tidak ada sebarang tindakan dan arahan yang dikeluarkan? Kenapa tidak dipanggil pula guru besar tersebut?
Ternyata politik kini sudah tidak menjaga kepentingan Melayu dan Islam.
PETALING JAYA, Jan 14 — A Christian pastor has urged both Muslims and Christians to stop spreading their faith amid deepening tensions over the “Allah” row between the two Abrahamic religions.
ReplyDeleteRev Dr Hermen Shastri, general secretary of the Protestant umbrella body, Council of Churches of Malaysia (CCM), said that religious discourse could not continue if non-Muslims are prohibited from propagating their beliefs to Muslims, while the reverse is allowed under the law.
“So it is better for Christians and Muslims to declare ‘we don’t proselytise anybody’, and we’ll live in peace,” Shastri told a forum on freedom of religion here last night that was mostly attended by non-Malays.
Article 11(4) of the Federal Constitution prohibits non-Muslims from propagating their faith to Muslims, which has been used as the basis for various state laws throughout Malaysia — except for Penang, Sabah, Sarawak and the Federal Territories — to ban non-Muslims from using certain Arabic words and phrases, including the word for God, “Allah”.
The Christian minority in Malaysia has been accused of attempting to proselytise to Muslims, with Terengganu Mufti Dr Zulkifly Muda reportedly commending the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) for confiscating Malay and Iban-language bibles to stem such purported conversion attempts.
At the forum, Dr Ahmad Farouk Musa, chairman of Muslim think tank Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF), questioned why Muslims could not put themselves in the shoes of Christians who are banned from sharing their faith to Muslims.
“If I were to live in Australia, and Australia says that I can’t share my beliefs with my friends, I’ll feel like I’m being persecuted,” said Ahmad Farouk.
“Why can’t Muslims feel the same? Feel what Christian brothers feel when they are prevented from sharing what they believe. Just because we’re the majority in this country, we can do what we like? That’s wrong,” he added.
