Saya menyaksikan sepenuhnya kes ini dibentangkan di mahkamah selama tiga hari. Jelas sekali tiada sebarang bukti yang menyokong tuduhan wanita ini. Tiada saksi melainkan beliau. Tiada jeritan yang didengari oleh jiran. Kes beliau tidak logik dan bercanggah dengan laporan polis. Hatta wanita ini hanya mengenalpasti ‘perogol’ dengan pakaian singlet hitam.

Bagaimana beliau tidak dapat mempastikan bahawa kawan saya bercermin mata, mempunyai tattoo di lengan, berjanggut dan berkasut hitam? Sedangkan kalau beliau dirogol tentu jelas bagaimana penampilan perogol? Bahkan tidak ada kesan luka atau lebam pada wanita ini apatah lagi kesan semen pada organ sulit. 3 orang ahli kongsi gelap tidakpun tampil sebagai saksi. Sebaliknya, yang tampil ialah bapa saudara wanita tersebut.

Saya tidak faham bagaimana sistem kehakiman Amerika ini membuat keputusan yang salah dalam suatu kes yang begitu jelas sekali. Benar bahawa sebelum beliau masuk Islam, beliau terlibat dalam kumpulan kongsi gelap dan terlibat dalam beberapa kes serius. Tapi itu cerita lama. Tak tentu pasal beliau diheret ke penjara dan terpaksa melepaskan seorang isteri yang hamil 3 bulan bersama seorang anak perempuan berusia 9 bulan. Selepas ini, rekod jenayah beliau akan menunjukkan label sexual offender. Innalillah…

Teringin dengar ucapan tapi malangnya sibuk menjual buku (kalaupun dapat masuk, belum tentu saya berani masuk). Nampaknya kumpulan NOI ini makin dekat dengan fahaman Islam Sunni. Penyampai khutbah jumaat siang tadi tidak lain dan tidak bukan ialah Imam Siraj Wahhaj, tokoh sunni terbesar di kalangan Afro American.

Kelihatan para wanita kesemuanya berpakaian sopan, jauh sekali jika dibandingkan dengan ISNA. Kebanyakan memakai jubah dan telekung biru navy. Pihak lelaki ramai berpakaian formal.

Rumusan saya, perjuangan Farrakhan yang menariknya ialah semangatnya membela golongan tertindas. Ketokohan beliau dalam perkara ini tampak amat disegani seluruh dunia. Lihat saja lawatan sedunia beliau sebelum ini. Tentunya kita tolak sepenuhnya akidah mereka. Sebesar-besar syirik. Gara-gara tipu daya puak Ahmadiyyah (W.D. Fard) dan korupsi Elijah Muhammad.

Sekian dahulu

Sekitar dua jam berkunjung dari kedai ke kedai, tibalah kami ke cyber cafe. Difikirkan, para pengunjung cyber cafe ini tentunya tak ada internet di rumah. Mungkin peluang untuk menjual.

Tokey kedai seorang Muslim, berjanggut lebat, berasal dari Morocco. Beliau dikunjungi seorang missionary perempuan yang cuba preaching kepada si tokey. Tidak lama kemudian, perbualan 2 orang itu menjadi 4 apabila dua orang customer cyber cafe masuk debat (dua-dua kristian). Si sheikh kelihatan terngiur melihat peluang debat dengan missionary lalu terus masuk dalam bulatan debat. Kisah debat ini kita cerita lain kali.

Oleh kerana saya tidak mahir debat, saya mula cuit keluar seorang dari bulatan itu dan memperkenalkan produk saya. Lelaki itu berminat. Dipendekkan cerita, kami beransur ke rumah beliau untuk sempurnakan jualan.

Kedengaran anjing menyalak (ini perkara biasa di rumah-rumah customer). Saya cepat maklumkan beliau yang saya sangat takut anjing. Lalu beliau mengurung anjing tersebut dalam bilik.

Kami berurus niaga seperti biasa. Usai perkara itu, kami mula berkenalan dengan customer Afro-American ini. Seperti lazim, ras ini kepercayaan kristiannya kuat juga. Beliau mula cerita tentang keluarga. Isterinya jenis mengada-ngada (alah, normal!). Beliau pula tak tahan kerenah wanita (haha, saya faham!). Lalu bergaul dengan wanita-wanita lain.

Isterinya tentulah naik berang. Beliau pula beralasan nak cari kawan sebab isteri dah tak menarik dan asyik “terasa”. Lalu isteri lari ke rumah lain, barangkali cuba mencari teman lelaki lain. Kemudian menafikan anak-anak mereka daripada berjumpa dengan si bapa. Ini celoteh beliau pada saya dan sheikh.

Agama kristian tidak ada konsep cerai. Kalau dah kahwin, kena tahan sampai liang lahad, haram bercerai. Jadi apa boleh buat? Lelaki sudah bosan dengan isterinya yang merajuk tak menentu (biasa la kan, hehe). Tambah pula diet zaman sekarang tak mengizinkan wanita kekal ramping, lagi-lagi dalam konteks ras afro-american yang gemar ‘instant gratification’ seperti hiburan TV, makan ayam goreng, minum soda angggur, etc…

Itulah nasib bangsa ini. Dahulu kala sungguh gah merajai seluruh lembah Futa Jallon, kini diperhambakan oleh sumber-sumber instant gratification seperti dadah, arak, budaya pop, makanan segera dan entah apa macam lagi. Untuk menyedapkan hati mereka, dicandu pula mitos Jesus sebagai penyelamat dan pengasih mereka!

Tentang customer terbaru ini… merupakan perempuan 2 orang… umur mereka 50-an…. kerja sebagai off-site coder untuk hospital berdekatan…
Proses jualan kali ini memakan masa sangat lama… dari 12 tengah malam hingga 3 pagi… dan esok kena bawa kereta ke Muktamar di Atlanta (12 jam perjalanan)!…
Dalam masa 3 jam berurusan, terasa jelek campur kehairanan pabila memerhati persekitaran… kenapa banyak sangat unsur-unsur female nudity di dinding dan almari hiasan?… Saya fikir mereka ini pasangan lesbian…
Bila saya tanya gambar budak kecil itu anak aunty kah? Jawabnya tidak, itu anak saudara.
Oh, lupa pulak kalau dah lesbian mana mungkin beroleh zuriat!

Here are some papers he has written on Qur’anic studies – http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Q_Studies/

We know that at the political level, colonialism was essentially secularist. But at the level of morality, the ethic they carry is Christian morality.

From the people in the Muslim world, colonialism was seen as a rise and globalization of Christianity. The talk of the town was always this big threat called Christianity. In fact, this talk may have been initiated by colonialists themselves sometimes.

The colonialists  say, if Islam is true, why would God let us dominate you? Is it not evident be it from the perspective of the colonized or the colonizer, that domination and truth belongs to christianity?

This rhetoric led to a crisis of confidence and pride in Islam, and in the Indian sub-continent for example, a lot of Muslims became Christian. Likewise we hear this also in Indonesia today as well. This conversion of so many Muslims to Christianity became a global phenomena.

As Christian missionary work was taking roots, they implanted their worldview and ethic indefinitely in the Muslim world in various critical ways. They developed plans and literatures to cater to “dawah” to Muslims.

So this was the scenario in which Sheikh Ahmad Deedat emerged heroic. Christianity is essentially falsefood, and it is not hard to break down falsehood. Ahmad Deedat had the right personality for this. If we notice in his debates, he always appeared calm with his beaming smile. He exuded confidence in taking on Christian zealots in a manner so inspiring to an Ummah that had lost its pride and self-confidence.

Ahmad Deedat comes on the world stage and defeats various Christian preachers in public debates. He repeated this enough times to be noticed by Muslims. At a time when Muslims were overwhelmed by the psychological impact that Christianity politically and economically dominated and won over Islam – this feeling slowly withered with the emergence of Ahmad Deedat.

This is because Ahmad Deedat was able to articulate the flaws of the Bible. This he articulated through very effective communication. So up to the 1970s, the personality of Ahmad Deedat impacted primarily in making Muslims know that there is someone out there who can take on any Christian scholar, even if that person himself cannot.

So in this light, Ahmad Deedat was a giant personality. He fulfilled the commandment of Quran to call to the path of Allah with hikmah — with beautiful sermons at the level of the masses and argue with others in the best ways. This verse refers to the People of the Book. From this, we take and realize that debating and arguing is an art in itself and the Quran commands us to execute it with wisdom and make clear what is right and wrong.

This is an art that Ahmad Deedat fulfilled. Not so much that he converted thousands of people to Islam, but psychologically he put Muslim anguish and doubts at peace regarding the question of Christianity through the art of argumentation, of making things clear, in a debate and dialogue setting. He made muslims feel good about themselves and intellectually strong through knowing that their scripture is the correct scripture.

Sothis is the legacy of Ahmad Deedat.

Now that he has passed away, missionaries have studied Ahmad Deedat inside out. Ahmad Deedat was someone who not only debated publicly but also sent his literature out to everyone. So missionaries were able to obtain his writings and study him to guess what he would say and argue in future debates. Through this, Christian missionary experts have now come up with answers to Ahmad Deedat, point by point.

Evangelicals in the Christian world  are of two levels – 1) passionate preachers, and 2) people who look from an intellectual perspective. Christians that go to places like Hartford Seminary and Harvard Divinity etc, most of them are generally confused about Christianity.

What we have to know is that research work now has gone way farther than at the time of Ahmad Deedat. Even Christians themselves have realized their numerous flaws in their own research works.

Unfortuantely, Muslim debaters nowadays are still stuck and limit themselves to Ahmad Deedat’s arguments even though, for instance, Jewish professors have now done research work far beyond the works of Ahmad Deedat.

Example One. We treat the current Bible as Injil, but it is not Injil historically speaking. At most, it is a book of “Hadith” — reports. The statements of Sayyidina Isa in the Bible is basically historical statements.

Example Two. All research on the Jewishness of Jesus — how it is impossible for him to say something as blasphemous  and going against Jewish ideas of monotheism, of One God. How can a Jew have pagan beliefs is very problematic. We see there are similarities of Christianity and Hinduism as having somewhat pagan rituals. So this influence of paganism in Christianity is inconceivable considering he was Jewish.

So in the areas of research about holy scriptures, we now have a lot more information than in the days of Ahmad Deedat. We have a better understanding of ancient architecture at that time. We also know the available manusrcripts at that time.

For example, the Quran talks about specific events of Isa A.S. The Quranic answer is most plausible where Jesus defended his mother, Maryam in the cradle as a baby. If Maryam did someting wrong as in Bible, she would have been inflicted with harsh Jewish punishment. So why was Maryam not stoned to death? This is impossible since she was born and raised in a temple, within the confines of a religious institution and a society with a strict religious law. She could not have escaped. She would have gotten severe punishment from the religious authorities. Only the Quran gives a plausible answer.

Also, the latest research shows that Jesus’s disciples – the 12 disciples – are shown as being members of his own family – so surely they look similar to Jesus himself. This is even more so since they all have beards. So when they thought they caught Jesus, it sheds light to other possibiliities than what we have always thought. Jesus belonged to the royalty said to be from the descendant of David.

What we are saying here is that we need a new Ahmad Deedat. Not one, but many! Zakir Naik has filled his shoes to some degree. But we really need someone at the level of Ahmad Deedat and Zakir Naik specifically in USA because a lot of conversion to Christianity is going on amongst the youth. In fact many new Muslims left Islam and went back to Christianity. Another importance of having a new Ahmad Deedat in America is the fact that scholars from America have a large effect on the whole world.

Wallahua’lam.
