FATWA UNTUK AL KAFIR ZULKIFLI NORDIN KATA ALLAH SWT JUMUD DAN STATIK: IT IS THE DUTY OF EVERY MUSLIM TO STONE HIM TILL HIS LAST BREATH
TMI) Yang Dipertua Yayasan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia (Yadim) Datuk Aziz Jamaludin Mhd Tahir mendakwa Himpunan Bersih 2.0 pada 9 Julai ini bertentangan dengan nilai dan etika Islam.
Selain itu menurut beliau, perhimpunan aman anjuran Gabungan Pilihan Raya Bersih dan Adil (Bersih) merupakan satu helah untuk mengheret rakyat ke dalam kancah politik yang lebih besar.
“Usaha itu merupakan percubaan pemimpin tersebut untuk menguji pengaruh, dan kerana itu sanggup menipu lebih ramai rakyat kononnya, sistem yang pernah memberikan kemenangan kepadanya dulu dan sedikit peluang berkuasa sebagai tidak boleh dipertahankan, ia perlu dirombak dan diberikan jaminan baru sesuai dengan keperluan mereka.
“Pemimpin sedemikian merupakan orang yang tidak mempunyai jiwa perjuangan yang besar, mereka berminat mengadakan rusuhan kerana mempunyai agenda politik yang lebih besar,” katanya dalam satu tulisan disiarkan dalam Utusan Malaysia hari ini.
Aziz Jamaluddin juga menyifatkan penganjuran Himpunan Bersih 2.0 yang turut disertai Pakatan Rakyat, badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) dan rakyat sebagai satu bentuk anarkisme yang berlaku kali kedua dalam negara selepas 2007.
“Wujud pendapat umum seolah-olah merusuh di jalan raya bagi membangkitkan rasa tidak puas hati mengenai sesuatu perkara sebagai natijah daripada prinsip demokrasi.
“Maka, usaha Bersih untuk menganjurkan perhimpunan jalanan pada 9 Julai ini seharusnya dilihat sebagai suatu bentuk anarkisme yang kembali ingin dibudayakan dalam masyarakat Malaysia,” katanya.
Himpunan Bersih kali pertama diadakan pada 2007, beberapa bulan sebelum pilihan raya umum 2008 yang menyaksikan Pakatan Rakyat berjaya menawan lima buah negeri dan memenangi 82 kerusi Parlimen.
Menurut beliau, dalam Islam perjuangan yang bersifat anarkisme tidak sesuai dengan tuntutan agama malah diharamkan kerana boleh memudaratkan termasuk dari aspek fizikal dan psikologi.

I read the Malaysian Insider report that YB Datuk Zul Noordin had called to prevent the planned BERSIH rally on July the 9th.
By the way, I did not know that the YB had been bestowed a Datukship. I am sure he deserves it. Congratulations YB Datuk.
YBDZN (short for Yang Berhormat Datuk Zulkifli Noordin – I learn to shorten things from PEMANDU), for the uninitiated, stood in the 2008 GE in Kulim under the PKR banner. His political tagline was, “it is time to change, new hope.”
During the campaign, he repeatedly reminded the voters to use their vote wisely. He implored them to use their “sacred hands” to choose a candidate who was commanding and not to chose a devil masked as an angel. This was what he wrote on his blog on 27th Februuary 2008:
“Undilah calon yang berwibawa, bukan jerangkung bertopeng dewa.”
I admire his tenacity and conviction, I must say.
He asked the people to vote someone who was clean, someone who was not corrupted or corruptible. He wanted a stronger opposition to fight abuse of power; to fight against corruption and to fight for a better Malaysia. He asked the people to vote for a responsible representative who would fight for the people’s rights and whatever things which are closed to the people’s heart. Love this!

However, unfortunately, perhaps while suffering a momentary lapse of refinement, he was also prone to a bit of theatrical indulgence such as displayed by this, which appeared on his blog on 5th March 2008 titled “Orang kata KJ macam beruk…”:
That was most unfortunate. But hey, the man has his opinion.
As he was feeling the heat of the election campaign – which was understandable, as he was a rookie of sorts – he developed a dislike against the then Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya (SPR). It looked like the “macam beruk” blog post was not the last showing of his penchant for name calling.
This was evident in his post, titled, almost inevitably, "SPR Barua BN." Wow. For a person who describes himself as the “servant of Allah” and who always fight for Islam, he was very Islam in his language. But hey, the man has an opinion, right?
In that post, YBDZN berated SPR for cancelling the usage of the indelible ink in the 2008 GE. He wrote:
“Memang kita sedia maklum mengharapkan ketelusan daripada SPR samalah seperti mengharap gajah dapat melepasi mata jarum.”
Then in April 2008, he advocated freedom of expression by speaking, not once, but three times, about a planned gathering called “Black 14” as a show of support for Anwar Ibrahim. His three posts on that subject appearedhere, here and here.
AND AS A DIGRESSION: TO REMIND YOU HOW IT ALL BEGAN IN AMERICA
When reports of protests and subsequent civilian deaths as security forces fired on protestors began filtering in from the southern Syrian city of Deraa in March, many wondered what turn events would take in both Syria and the international community in the wake of earlier uprisings during the "Arab Spring".
Since then, events have continued taking turns for the worse, but this week has marked a crucial point in both the increasingly dire humanitarian crisis and the lack of response from the United Nations Security Council.
On Sunday, Syrian forces moved into the northwestern town of Jisr al-Shughur, after the government claimed that "armed gangs" had killed at least 120 security forces and soldiers there in early June.
Now, at least 7,000 Syrians from the town and surrounding areas have fled to Turkey seeking safety, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Reports from other sources ranged from 5,000 to 8,500.
Lack of media coverage
The OHCHR stated in a preliminary report that helicopter gunships were said to have been used on Jisr al-Shughur and its population of approximately 50,000 people.
Nadim Houry, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch (HRW), told IPS from Beirut that once they reached Turkey, Syrian refugees were well cared for in camps set up by the Turkish International Red Crescent, and had access to food and medical treatment.
What is problematic is that the Turkish government does not want these refugees to speak to the media, Houry said. In Syria, as well, a lack of media access - the government has forbidden journalists from entering the country - has challenged efforts to verify accounts of what has taken place over the past three months.
Houry emphasised that those who fled their homes but remain in Syria are far less fortunate than their counterparts in Turkey, living under circumstances "much more precarious" and enduring heavy rain under makeshift tents of plastic sheeting, some sources say.
Of these Syrians, some wait to enter Turkey as the International Red Crescent constructs more camps. Others wait to return to their homes.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has praised the Turkish government for its generosity and declared that the UN remains "ready to assist" if requested by Turkish authorities.
Other refugees have gathered in Lebanon and Jordan, but those populations are smaller and are mainly living with extended families, having fled Syria before this past week. In Lebanon, numbers of refugees have not been "overwhelming", and "conditions are fine", Houry told IPS.
Situation 'very worrisome'
Over 1,200 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in the violent suppression of protests that began in March, and more than 10,000 have been detained.
Navi Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, condemned the crackdown, calling it "utterly deplorable for any government to attempt to bludgeon its population into submission, using tanks, artillery and snipers". Ban called the situation in Syria "very worrisome".
Pillay's repeated requests to Syrian authorities that they allow a fact-finding mission into Syria have gone ignored. But OHCHR proceeded with research anyway and published a preliminary report on Wednesday, concluding that recent events in Syria constitute "alleged breaches of the most fundamental rights".
The report's laundry list of "widespread human rights violations" included "violated freedoms of assembly, expression and movement", "excessive use of force in quelling demonstrators, arbitrary detentions, summary executions, torture and other cruel or inhuman treatment".
The report also documented that "Syrian security forces directly blocked the distribution of critical food supplies in certain locations", depriving Syrians of basic food resources.
Meanwhile, the UN Security Council has balked at passing a resolution, drafted last week by Britain, to condemn the crackdown and human rights violations.
Certain countries, such as Russia and China, oppose the resolution on the grounds that it could provide justification for military intervention. Member states are being cautious as a previous Security Council resolution on Libya was used to justify NATO intervention there.
Analysts have also cited Russia and China's military and economic ties with Syria as reasons for their opposition. According to Houry, South Africa, Brazil, and India are also "hesitant" to endorse a resolution, fearing that it will only contribute to further instability in Syria.
But while the Security Council dawdles, what Houry calls "a systematic pattern of repression" continues, leaving destruction and suffering in its wake. "The fact that the Security Council cannot speak up with one voice … is prolonging the situation," he said.
As the situation deteriorates, Houry's outlook was not hopeful: Protests are not what is provoking the violence, he explained. "I think it's the fact that there are now people who are completely opposed to President Assad and to the Ba'th Party. And in a one-party state, that sort of dissent is not tolerated."
Syrian security forces killed at least 16 people Friday, including a teenage boy, as thousands of people poured into the streets across the country calling for the downfall of President Bashar Assad's autocratic regime, activists said.
The unrest also appeared to be spilling over into neighboring Lebanon. A senior member of a Lebanese political party allied with Syria and an off-duty soldier were killed Friday after gunmen opened fire and lobbed a grenade near hundreds of people holding an anti-Assad protest in northern Lebanon, a security official said in Beirut. The protests in Syria came hours after Syrian troops backed by tanks and helicopter gunships seized control early Friday of another northwestern town in the latest military operation to quell the dissent.
Since the protests erupted in mid-March, Assad has unleashed the military to crush street demonstrations. Human rights activists say more than 1,400 Syrians have been killed and 10,000 detained.
"What is our guilt? We just demanded freedom and democracy nothing else," said Mohamed, who spoke to The Associated Press from a refugee camp in neighboring Turkey and asked to be identified only by his first name. He and other refugees offered fresh accounts of summary executions to suppress the pro-democracy movement.
"I saw people who were beheaded with machine-gun fire from helicopters," and a man tortured to death when security forces "poured acid on to his body," he said.
Mohamed fled with his family as the military besieged Jisr al-Shughour, a rebellious town the government recaptured last Sunday.
He said a sugar factory in the city was turned into a jail where they "hold quick trials and execute anyone who they believe participated in protests."
He is among some 9,600 people are seeking shelter in Turkish refugee camps. On Friday, U.N. envoy Angelina Jolie traveled to Turkey's border with Syria to meet some of the thousands of Syrian refugees.
The Syrian crackdown has brought international condemnation and sanctions on the regime. On Friday, a French official said the European Union was preparing new, expanded sanctions that would target the economy.
The Syrian government claims armed gangs and foreign conspirators are behind the unrest, not true reform-seekers. In what has become a weekly back-and-forth between activists and the government, both sides offered divergent death tolls.
Syria's state-run TV said Friday that a policeman was killed and more than 20 were wounded when "armed groups" opened fire at them. It added that six police officers were wounded in Deir el-Zour when gunmen attacked a police station in the area.
But the Local Coordination Committees, a group that documents the protests, and Syria-based rights activist Mustafa Osso told The Associated Press that eight people were killed, all of them civilians, citing witnesses on the ground.
Nine people were killed in the central city of Homs, two in the eastern town of Deir el-Zour and two in the Damascus suburb of Harasta, one in the major northern city of Aleppo. The 16-year-old, who was in the streets protesting, and another person died in the southern village of Dael, the Local Coordination Committees said.
It's impossible to independently confirm many accounts coming out of Syria. Foreign journalists have been expelled from the country and local reporters face tight controls.
Meanwhile, troops in large numbers poured into Maaret al-Numan, 28 miles (45 kilometers) from the Turkish border, said rights activist Osso. He said other forces were now massing around Khan Sheikhon, to the south, where gunmen attacked army forces earlier this month.
Omar Idilbi of the Local Coordination Committees said government forces had taken full control of Maaret al-Numan, a town of 100,000 on the highway linking Damascus, the capital, with Aleppo.
Many of its residents had fled as troops swept through Idlib province in recent days.
There was no immediate word on casualties in Maaret al-Numan.
Protests were reported across the country Friday, with thousands pouring into the streets of the central cities of Homs and Hama, the southern villages of Dael and Otman, coastal cities of Latakia and Banias, the Damascus suburbs of Qudsaya and Douma as well as the capital, Damascus.
In the northeast, about 2,000 protesters marched in the towns of Amouda and Qamishli, chanting for the regime's downfall, the Local Coordination Committees said. In the southern village of Dael, activists said cracks of gunfire could be heard at the center where a protest was held.
Some of the protesters shouted against Assad's cousin, Rami Makhlouf, the country's most influential businessman who is widely reviled by Syrians for alleged corruption. On Thursday, apparently as an overture to the protesters, he announced that he will now concentrate on charity work.
"Go play another game Makhlouf," protesters shouted in Daraa, a city near the Jordanian border where the uprising began in mid-March.
Friday has become the main day for protests in the Arab world, and Syrians have turned out every week in large numbers nationwide, inspired by democratic revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt.
The opposition has attached a name to each Friday's campaign, naming this one "The Day of Saleh al-Ali," an Alawite leader who led an uprising against French colonial rule in the 20th century.
Using an Alawite figure's name was meant to show that Assad's opponents were not rising up over sectarian concerns. The Assad regime is dominated by the Alawite minority, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, but the country is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim.
Alawite dominance has bred resentment, which Assad has worked to tamp down by pushing a strictly secular identity in Syria. But the president now appears to be relying heavily on his Alawite power base, beginning with highly placed Assad relatives, to crush the resistance.
The member of the Lebanese political party who was killed Friday, Ali Fares, also was an Alawite. He belonged to the Arab Democratic Party.
The Tripoli neighborhood where the clash happened has been the scene of repeated clashes over the past three years between Sunnis in Tabbaneh and Alawites from the nearby Jabal Mohsen neighborhood.
The violence came four days after Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, who comes from the Tripoli neighborhood, announced a new government dominated by pro-Syrian groups – including the militant Hezbollah and its allies.
