Mati syahid jadi umpan IS tarik belia perangi ‘lubuk dosa’

By Nawar Firdaws

 KUALA LUMPUR: Umpan syahid dan dibersihkan dosa adalah kaedah IS menarik minat generasi muda khasnya belia bermasalah dan jahil agama menyertai kumpulan pengganas itu, menurut seorang pakar kajian keganasan.
“Mereka yang menyertai IS adalah orang yang tidak mempunyai pemahaman mendalam tentang agama, menjadikannya lebih mudah untuk mempengaruhi mereka, terutama individu yang kelihatan arif dalam kitab suci Al-Quran,” kata R Paneir Selvam, yang mengetuai Persatuan Penyelidik Undang-undang dan Dasar.
Jelasnya, IS juga berjaya meyakinkan sesetengah umat Islam yang Malaysia menyimpang daripada ajaran Islam sebenar.
“Inilah propaganda IS, menyebarkan mesej Malaysia merupakan lubuk dosa.
“Mereka berjaya meyakinkan sesetengah orang yang kegagalan negara untuk memenuhi harapan mereka, terutama dalam aspek agama, layak digelar lubuk dosa dan tidak harus dikecualikan daripada serangan mereka,” katanya.
Paneir memberitahu FMT, kumpulan pengganas yang berpangkalan di Iraq dan Syria itu tidak sama dengan Al-Qaeda kerana ia tidak berstruktur.
“Dengan hanya satu petunjuk kecil atau mesej daripada pemimpin, anggotanya akan melancarkan serangan dengan segera.
“Mereka juga didorong untuk bertindak bagi saudara Islam yang dibunuh di tempat lain,” katanya.
Untuk memerangi IS, Paneir menyarankan pihak berkuasa melangkaui kaedah konvensional melalui penubuhan sebuah pasukan pakar terdiri daripada pelbagai latar belakang.
“Anda tidak boleh bergantung kepada pakar topik Islam semata-mata. Sama seperti amalan FBI di Amerika Syarikat (Biro Penyiasatan Persekutuan), sebuah pasukan pakar dengan pelbagai disiplin, agama dan kepakaran perlu dibentuk.
“Ini perlu supaya mereka mempunyai gambaran lebih lengkap dan pemahaman terhadap masalah ini untuk mencari penyelesaian baru di luar kotak,” kata pensyarah Universiti Help itu.
Seorang anggota IS warga Malaysia, Mohd Rafi Udin, baru-baru ini mengancam melancarkan serangan ke atas rakyat Malaysia, termasuk “memenggal leher” anggota polis di Bukit Aman, menerusi rakaman video pada 21 Jun lalu.
Pada 28 Jun, sebuah pub di Puchong diserang dengan bom tangan, mencederakan lapan pengunjung.
Polis kemudian mengesahkan ia adalah serangan pertama IS di Malaysia.

India-Malaysia ties and the future

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is on his first official visit to India. The main aim of this visit is to seek support for Malaysia’s application to join Brics and to fortify bilateral ties, as the country is keen to improve its connections with one of the rapidly expanding economies in Asia. In light of the increasing crumbling of the global order, particularly stemming from trade disputes between the United States and China, as well as the proxy conflict involving the United States and Russia, Malaysia is encouraged to reassess its foreign policy to uphold its neutral stance. Given India’s status as the largest democracy and the fifth-largest economy globally, along with its notable advancements in indigenous space and defence technologies, it is proposed that India emerge as Malaysia’s key partner in the years ahead. Why India is important for Malaysia The historical ties between India and Malaysia extend back several centuries, with significant Indian cultural, religious, and administ...

Ties that bind religion, state: Beneficial or detrimental?

Malaysia is characterised as a secular state, a principle reflecting its founding fathers’ vision. However, over the years, certain politicians from various factions have exploited religion as a potent tool to garner public support and to suppress or eliminate their political adversaries. The slogan “untuk agama, bangsa dan negara,” which translates to “for religion, race, and nation,” suggests a troubling prioritisation of religious matters over state affairs. This shift in focus by the past and present governments, which places religious issues above national interests, poses significant risks to the future stability and unity of the nation. Furthermore, the investigation into Global Ikhwan Services and Business Holdings, which is accused of child sexual abuse and forced labour, highlights the potential dangers of intertwining religious motivations with operational practices. Also, an examination of the present state of our government reveals a trajectory similar to that of Pakistan,...

Understanding terrorism and attacks in Lebanon

Terrorism is characterised as the illegal application of force and intimidation, particularly targeting civilians, to attain political objectives. The overarching definition of terrorism encompasses the strategic deployment of violence to instil widespread fear within a population, thus facilitating the realisation of political goals. Furthermore, the FBI differentiates between international terrorism, which involves violent actions perpetrated by individuals or groups motivated by foreign terrorist entities, and domestic terrorism, which refers to violent acts carried out by individuals or groups aiming to promote ideological objectives rooted in domestic factors. Additionally, it entails the employment of violence against non-combatants to fulfil political or ideological aspirations, frequently occurring during periods of peace or amid warfare. The 9/11 attacks The recent commemoration of the 9/11 attacks in the United States marked the anniversary of what is widely regarded as the m...
