HUDUD DALAM MALAYSIAKINI: terus jadi Umpan

Sekadar meluah rasa terbuku dalam malaysiakini, dalam ramai-ramai ahli politik, siapakah sebenarnya yang serius dengan hal HUDUD.

2. Hudud adalah battle cry yang menarik, kerana waktu ia dimainkan dalam ceramah politik, hudud hilang nilai keagamaannya. Hudud entah bagaimana, kekal sebagai umpan dalam muslihat politik negara, hanya timbul bila perlu.

3. Islam bertapak dibumi bertuah ini bukan semalam. Fasa-fasa yang dilalui oleh penerapan agama Islam adalah liku-liku yang sering jadi orang keliru. Islam era lama adalah bersifat membina generasi. Islam era baru yang dibawa oleh fahaman politik memilih isu untuk dilambung tinggi, namun ramai masih selesa bermain dan bercanda dengan isu-isu sebegini.

4. Waktu-waktu orang melayu Islam berasing dalam kehidupan adalah waktu yang malang. Yang sudi melayan nostalgia, akan teringat peristiwa dua iman dan boikot kenduri. Kata orang waktu itu, politic is divisive. Ia bermula dengan hadirnya the young turks pulang dari perantauan dengan semangat berapi. Mereka waktu itu belum matang.

5. Sejak itu landskap politik terlakar dengan warna yang pecah-pecah. Sejak itu masyarakat melayu di setengah tempat tidak peduli lagi dengan masyarakat asal yang sudah lama bertapak, dipupuk oleh nenek moyang. Masyarakat melayu terpisah dengan garis kecenderungan politik.

6. Hudud mungkin akan kekal sebagai umpan berguna baik untuk PAS, untuk Umno, untuk MCA, MIC dan DAP. Akhirnya kita tidak tahu siapa yang serius dengan Hudud sebenarnya.

News on Hudud, Pas and Pakatan.

• PAS to push for hudud laws

KOTA BARU: - Malaysia's opposition was put on the defensive yesterday after a top PAS official said the party would push to implement Islamic criminal laws if the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) alliance takes power in the country.

The remarks by Datuk Husam Musa, vice-president of Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) is likely to be a hot issue in the crucial by-election in Terengganu just weeks away.

His comments also raised afresh Internet debate on the long-cherished plan by PAS to implement the hudud laws in Malaysia.

While Mr Husam did not say what he meant by implementing hudud, the Islamic criminal laws are understood to mean they will have provisions to chop off the hands of thieves and stone adulterers.

Mr Husam spoke about the PAS plans for hudud law in a debate last Saturday evening in Kelantan's capital, with Umno Youth's deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin. PAS to push for hudud laws Straits Times

WITH MALAYSIAKINI: Anwar Ibrahim on Hudud?

Remember the recent fatwa on YOGA? Everyone jump on the wagon and yell. As a prelude to KT by election, Hudud is laid down as another alluring ploy. As Veeranggan is suggesting in Malaysiakini, there is a need for affected party to state their stand. Many agree on the intimacy of both fatwa and Hudud to the Muslims that open discussion may not be such a good idea.

• Hudud laws - Anwar must clarify Pakatan's stand from Malaysiakini
• Athi Veeranggan | Dec 23, 08 4:04pm
• A political analyst says as opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim is duty bound to step in the current spat over the Islamic law issue and state Pakatan Rakyat's official stand once and for all.

2. Anwar is too busy with bumi kenyalang to entertain the latest ploy on Hudud. Kuala Terengganu will not add substantially to his credential as the PM in waiting. But Bumi Kenyalang is something else. If Anwar is to be the next PM soon, he really has to fly low over Bintulu, Miri and Bintangor seeking support from the Foo Chows. The dayaks I suppose has been very much like the rest of us.

3. Anwar probably had noticed the importance of minorities in closely fought seats. Hindraf is a living proof! He probably be very busy tuning up his strategies.

4. Hudud is an old issue. It is best to put aside for a while......

YELLING WITH MALAYSIAKINI: Lim Kit Siang on Hudud

Hudud is a lure for only keen angler will understand. As I was witnessing the kopitiam talk with Husam and Khairy on telly recently, I thought what would be the lures, reels, tackels, rods, lines and tackle boxes that they brought along on another angling trip live on TV. I will yell in Malaysiakini with Lim Kit Siang as the biggest fish is brought up on the deck. Hudud!!

• Hudud NOT in Pakatan policy, Lim tells Husam from malaysiakini
• Dec 22, 08 3:03pm
• The DAP veteran wants the PAS vice-president Husam Musa to clarify his statement that the Islamic party would pursue its agenda on hudud.

2. Before we go even further lets understand what is hudud. Hudud ( Arabic حدود, also transliterated hadud, hudood; singular hadd, حد, literal meaning "limit", or "restriction") is the word often used in Islamic literature for the bounds of acceptable behaviour and the punishments for serious crimes. In Islamic law or Sharia, hudud usually refers to the class of punishments that are fixed for certain crimes that are considered to be "claims of God." They include theft, consumption of alcohol, robbery, illegal sexual intercourse, false accusation of zina, sedition or high treason and apostasy.

3. Hudud offenses are one of four different kinds in Islamic penal Law.

• Qisas- meaning retaliation, and following the biblical principle of "an eye for an eye."
• Diyya- compensation paid to the heirs of a victim. In Arabic the word means both blood money and ransom.
• Hudud - fixed punishments
• Tazir- punishment, usually corporal, administered at the discretion of the judge

Hudud offenses are defined as "claims of God," and therefore the sovereign was held to have a responsibility to punish them. All other offenses were defined as "claims of [His] servants," and responsibility for prosecution rested on the victim. This includes murder, which was treated as a private dispute between the murderer and the victim's heirs. The heirs had the right to compensation and to demand execution of the murderer, but they could also choose to forgive. [source Hudud]

4. Forgive me for treating Hudud lightly as I equate it as lures in angling. Hudud is HUDUD as it is meant to be. But when hudud is refered by politicians, it is alot easier to view things from their angle.

5. PAS has been using Hudud as their anchor for years. I cant guess with pinpoint accuracy as to when Hudud surfaced in political battle cry. I suppose Hudud made a strong appearance in PAS circles with the emergence of the young turks, Hadi Awang included. The new breed were seen very aggresive. When Musa Hitam read the content of Memali white paper in parliment, he nonchalantly focussed on Hadi Awang's famous decree on kafir and hudud.

6. DAP has been fanning Hudud in a different way. They had been telling their communities [Chinese i suppose], that they are against Hudud. Somehow both DAP and PAS are able to sit down and agree on a few things strategically. But they are able to get up and talk different things strategically to their folks. It is like a marriage of convenience.

7. At the same time, Umno had been baiting PAS on Hudud. They had been asking Kelantan's government and a term-old-under-PAS Terengganu's government when are they going to implement Hudud. Hudud is simply a lure used by many as they dust of their old fishing tackle, and treat themself to a new tackle made to handle the action.

8. Politic is the action, whether it is saltwater or freshwater. So, it wont be long before the lagoon of Kuala Terengganu will host the biggest ever fishing competition. Will Hudud remain as the most alluring lure? [Siapa kata lagoon itu hanya untuk Monsoon Cup?]

Sorry, Maaf, Sumimasen, Gomenasai .....
