Indeed, in the month of Ramadan is full of divine blessings, we were shocked by the view of a Tok Guru who claims that Muslims in Malaysia illegally to support the DAP is against hudud and DAP did not want to uphold Islam. Tuan Guru Haji Abdullah Sa抦ah, a teacher from Geting hut, Tumpat, Kelantan, arguing that Muslims in this country can not support the PAS and PKR and thus both parties are in cahoots with the DAP.

JUSTICE Harbi infidel opinion that the concept (which can be fought and killed) as well as the disbelievers dhimmi (submit to Islamic rule) have to be explained to the general public more precisely. This is to ensure that this concept is understood in accordance with the current development in line with developments in the global nature of Islamic thought. In fact, so many scholars and cendekiawam Islamic figures who have given their views to a more contemporary understanding of the real basis of the difference between syari抋h and jurisprudence as well as analyzing the current reality-based jurisprudence (fiqh al-Waqi?,

Sheikh Rashid Ghanoushi (al-Nahdah Party chief, Tunisia), who is now an advisor to the new Government of Tunisia, in some literary writings state that the idea of infidels and infidel dhimmi Harbi and the existence of which can be attacked (dar al-harb) is relevant at the time Islamic empire at the time of the past. However, today, when Muslims are combined in a global entity that is divided between Muslims and non-Muslim citizens a balanced and increasingly global in nature, then the position of the heathen and infidel dhimmi Harbi is not practical. Thus, he organized the concept of al-muwatinun (citizenship) be adopted as a practical alternative.

Fahmi Huwaidi, an Islamic thinker from Egypt, in particular, agree with the view of Shaykh al-Ghanoushi. He has produced a work entitled La Zimmiyyun揗uwatinun? (Citizenship Not dhimmi). Ijtihadi nature of his works in the context of the current Islamic political thought, very useful to critically review the use of disperse a polemic that is being portrayed this.

Shaikh Taha Jabir al-慖lwani (Iraq), Munir Shafiq (Jordan), Shaikh Faisal Mawlawi (Lebanon), Shaikh Ja'far Idris (Sudan) was also debating this topic give a similar view. Generally, they agreed that the concepts related - dhimmi infidels, unbelievers and infidels musta Harbi抦in? Was created by the ancient jurists憉long in debating political issues of sharia jurisprudence. However, for them it should be reviewed in the context of the suitability of the political system of the world at this time that is dynamic and growing.

More interestingly, the study recommended that all new developments taking place in Egypt under a new government led by Dr Muhammad Mursi (a prominent al-Muslim Brotherhood). He and his colleagues are working to realize the concept of equal citizenship Egypt (al-al-misriyyun muwatinun al-musawuun). Under this framework, the concept of dhimmi infidels and infidels Harbi in classifying people have not become irrelevant. As a result, all citizens of Egypt (Muslim, Coptic Christian and other minority faiths), are entitled to equal protection under the Constitution of Egypt.

It is clear, how UMNO nurturing this question by using the point of view抦Guru Haji Abdullah Sa ah above is outdated and does not conform to the current political developments in the Islamic world. We are of the view that the report of the Utusan Malaysia, UMNO has now started a campaign of religious extremists in order to maintain their position. Indeed, if this approach continues this beloved country will be on the verge of a great crisis.

It is very shameful, after the trust's management for 54 years, in order to maintain power, UMNO had to use this outdated approach, to make the Malays are in confused and perplexed. This attitude will also make non-Muslim communities become pinched and anxious. As a result, relations between the people of Malaysia that many races and religions will be strained. What is the hidden agenda of UMNO intentionally create this polemic?

JUSTICE of the view that the attitude displayed by this, obviously the UMNO and bengkrap desperate to attract the support of all Malaysians, so had to entertain such views as cheap political propaganda tool. Clear and unambiguous, UMNO no longer fit to manage entrusted to the 13's after the election later, having lost direction, lost control of themselves and weary formula to steer people toward the future glory. Allah knows抋lam. .
