Dangers of Logic

Come to think of it, the danger pose by SIS is far greater than what Jemaah Islamiyyah threat since it goes to the core of Islamic teachings. Being educated in non religious matters but trying hard to intrude and imposed their wayward ideas of Islam really makes me shudder, not of excitement but more to fear. While others are trying very hard to 'preserve' pure Islamic thinking and teachings, in line with Quran and hadith, they sadly have their own sick and conspiratory agenda.

Listening to one of their representatives in a talk show on the ruckus caused by JAIP's decision to cane a woman found guilty of drinking liquor in the public. Ironically, the woman in question is more than willing to be punished by caning and she adamantly refuses to appeal but others spearheaded by those wayward SIS, are creating all the unnecessary fuss about such. Their premise is simple, since we are in the modern times therefore it is incumbent upon us to look into Islamic teachings to suit the predominant situation. Necessary my foot!

For a long time and in fact since their establishment, they only manage to create confusion and dissension among Muslims but as one of the speakers said during that very interesting forum, they could be excused for their ignorance. Ignorance in the sense that their judgement and perception are blurred and thus impaired severely by their obsession on logic and modernity.

Indeed, as TG Nik Abdul Aziz said the non Muslims are far better off than those in SIS and the like since the former are not familiar with the true Islamic teachings unlike the latter who claimed to be proficient in Islamic teachings. In fact, the threat pose by those like them has been clearly stated by the Prophet PBUH when he said one of the signs of the End of Days is when people who are not expert are being appointed to look after religious matters just like SIS is doing today though they claim to possess the knowledge.

I am not an expert but I know my limit and thus I am grateful that I firmly believe in both Quran and Sunnah unlike some who prefer their logic only because they claim that both Quran and Sunnah are silent on certain matters. Canning, to them is inhumane and against human rights since it is not provided in the Quran but they seem to have ignored the Sunnah including Hadith of the Prophet as well as earlier opinions who are close to the Prophet himself compared to us and to those wayward thinkers.
