Continuing its attack on the newly formed NGO Negara-Ku, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) has accused Ambiga Sreenevasan of hypocrisy.

Wanita Isma activist Hanan Othman claimed that the former Malaysian Bar president reneged on her promise to uphold the federal constitution within 24 hours.

A day before the launch of Negara-Ku on July 9, she said Ambiga was reported by Malaysiakini to have urged Pakatan Rakyat to make a strong stand in calling for the constitution to be amended.

"Speaking on the issue of unilateral conversions of children in an event organised by Anwar Ibrahim, Ambiga expressed her disappointment towards Pakatan for not coming out strong enough in pushing for amendments to the existing laws.

"So now please help me brain this. How does one at one hour calls for a strong force to amend the constitution, and the next hour 'buy' people’s hope by promising to abide and always refer to the constitution?" she asked.

"Is it at all logical to put your trust in someone who speaks against herself in two different events within 24 hours?

"How do you rely and believe one who repeatedly challenges the constitution to suddenly become a faithful citizen obeying and fighting to uphold the constitution?" she added.

In view of this, Hanan said Malaysians, especially the Muslim groups, who are part of the new NGO should "open their eyes and not be fooled in broad daylight."

The devil is at our doorstep

Meanwhile, Sungai Petani Isma chief Muhammad Luttfi Abdul Khalid warned of the return of jahiliyyah, or the uncivilised age prior to the advent of Islam.

"Where worship of multiple gods, a debauched society, a vicious cycle of human slavery and social injustice and degradation of women were the hallmarks of the ignorant and misguided way of living. This the jahiliyyah of the 7th century.

"But the truth of the matter is that jahiliyyah was not exclusive to that era. It is still alive and thriving well in this century. However, it has evolved into a different yet subtle form – that of systems, values and ideologies," he said.

Among others, he said political parties, NGOs, leaders, academicians and civil society movements will be recruited and mobilised to confront and crush the Islamic resistance.

"All means and strategy (moral or otherwise) will be utilised. It is also immaterial whether or not the word ‘Islam’ is attached to any political party or NGO. It cared less whether the bonds of friendship of brotherhood will be torn asunder.

"No Islamic country will be spared, and no Muslim community will be left alone. Should one strategy or approach fails, jahiliyyah will always devise, refine and propagate a fresh replacement.

"That was the sworn undertaking by the devil since time immemorial. Today, liberalism is merely new name representing the entrapment of the devil (Talbis Al Iblis).

"It is jahiliyyah reincarnate. And it has reached our doorsteps!" he added.
