Critical Thoughts

Kudos to the motion proposed by PAS Shah Alam division to urge the National Fatwa Council to investigate SIS or in short, Sisters In Shaitaan (I refuse to put the word “Islam” in their name) and ban them if the evidence is clear that they are deviants. As to where I am concerned, the issue is pretty much clear-cut to me: this “Sisters in Shaitaan” (SIS) group have been promoting liberal Islam for decades and the fallacies and deviance from mainstream Islam are too many to list down here. Reading the past writings of their founder-prophet will make it pretty clear that they regard the hijab as an “Arab custom” (conveniently dumping the verse in Surah an-Nur which exorts wearing it), forbidding and rejecting polygamy as a part of Islam (not practicing it is fine but disallowing it altogether is wrong) and  many other deviant teachings.

Today is the anniversary of the day where I officially dumped my boss and I have no regrets in doing so.
