“Already we have created many of the jinn and mankind for Gehenna, having hearts with which they do not understand, and having eyes with which they do not see, and having ears with which they do not hear. They are like cattle, no, they are worse. These are the neglectful.” (Qur’an 7:179)
“Indeed, the worst of animals in Allah’s sight are the deaf and the dumb, who have no sense.” (Qur’an 8:22)
“Hadi is right, we need ‘true’ Islam, not bigotry,” by Tajuddin Rasdi, Free Malaysia Today, September 19, 2025:
A party grounded in Islam would not brand others ‘kafir’, and would be more inclusive.
At the recently concluded PAS muktamar, party president Abdul Hadi Awang declared that the time had come for the nation to be governed according to the true principles of Islam.
I support this statement wholeheartedly.
But Islamic governance requires magnanimity, wisdom and moral clarity — not from the perspective of someone trapped in a nativist bubble.
Islam upholds the sanctity of life and the dignity of all human beings, regardless of race, faith, or even lifestyle.
It does not condone the labelling of non-Muslims as “animals” simply because of how they dress — something an Islamic party leader did not too long ago.
Many communities around the world live with minimal clothing due to their climate and traditions. As a Muslim, I do not view them as animals. Their way of life simply reflects adaptation, not moral failure.
A true Muslim leader is one who represents all, regardless of faith or creed, not one who lords over a small geographical corner of the world with false piety and illusions of grandeur….
Big Dude says
Huh?
Who wrote this?
Is this for public consumption?
gravenimage says
Just read the piece, Big Dude–this is by Tajuddin Rasdi, in Free Malaysia Today. Probably this is to lull Malaysian dhimmis into a false sense of security–although I suppose it is also possible that he is that unicorn, a “moderate” Muslim.
Reziac says
One need merely read it in the spirit of the Noble Quran:
“Islam upholds the sanctity of life and the dignity of all human beings,”
Note the salient phrase is “human beings”. Since infidels are lower than animals, by Islam’s light infidels are not human beings. And as I recall, Jews are “”the descendants of apes and pigs” so they too are not human beings.
Therefore no need to uphold their lives or dignity, since they are not human beings.
So her statement was perfectly within the tenets of Islam.
Peter says
Tell that to a Hamas operative!
abu taleb says
It is for the non muslim consumption. If he talks in Arabic, it will be very different.
GianCarlo MATTA says
NEVER TRUST A MUSLIM
Peter says
Tell that to a Hamas operative!
OLD GUY says
Yes and if you believe him I have some beautiful beach front property for sale in Iowa.
John T R Gorman says
Let us know as soon as he’s beheaded by another Muslim for false teachings.
I don’t doubt for a second that it will happen.
somehistory says
Hold the phone….these are the **old** lies. Infidels are way past….some anyway….believing that the proponents of islime have any respect or appreciation for anything other than their demon god, his false prophet and their book of demon filth.
However, I really could not care less what muzzies think of me, nor what they may call me. *Label me opposed to them and their demon inspired beliefs and practices.* If that makes me an “animal,” oink, oink, bark, bark.
JS says
First thing that came to mind reading this was:
1. They have edited their Quran, but nothing very visible and maybe even temporary for the season OR
2. They’re in a good mood from all their conquering and humiliating the kafir – so they’re gloating.
Let’s face the facts. It’s rare that the followers of Islam are ever good or decent people. Any that may have started out that way eventually learn to be supremacist deviants.
NIck says
‘Supremacist deviants’ – I like it. Very apt. When you explain the issues with Islam religion to the uninitiated, the usual retort is: ‘Not all Muslims are bad people’. Yet, they can’t collectively be much good while they’re worshipping a prophet who is nothing short of a pedophilic warlord. It makes no sense to me. Like you say, they’re supremacist deviants.
CM says
We respect your religion, pay the jizya or else. There is no such thing as moderate Islam.
GianCarlo MATTA says
moderate islàm is just the invention of certain naive Westerners
Hoi Polloi says
Funny then how freely and frequently muslims make clear they don’t believe a word he said.
Tony says
in Quran 98:6, Allah says that Non-Muslims are the LOWEST of creatures. Islam’s Muslims are deceivers as taught by Allah in the Quran(Quran 3:28, 54; 7:99; 8:30, etc.).
EVERY Muslim prayer begins with Quran 1:1-, cursing Jews and Christians 15+ times a day. Demonic Allah in Quran 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” See also Quran 2:63-65; 3:115; 4:144; 5:59-60, 82; 7:166; 48:29; 98:6-7. Moreover, Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”. Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims because they DO NOT ACCEPT Islam to become Muslims(Quran 7:18; 11:119; 32:13, 35:8, etc.).
BTeboe says
Again, another Islamist taking lying about the ideology to the Zen level. If anyone can name another ‘religion’ that calls for the killing of people who do not believe the same thing they do, please tell me.
— “And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than slaughter. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, kill them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is all-forgiving, all-compassionate. Fight them until there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers.” (Qur’an 2:191-193)
— “We will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve for what they have associated with Allah of which He had not sent down authority. And their refuge will be the Fire, and wretched is the residence of the wrongdoers.” (Qur’an 3:151)
— “They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore do not take friends from among them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, seize them and kill them wherever you find them; do not take for yourselves any one of them as friend or helper.” (Qur’an 4:89)
— “This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth to do corruption there: they shall be killed, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall be struck off on opposite sides; or they shall be exiled from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement.” (Qur’an 5:33)
— “When your Lord was revealing to the angels, ‘I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers; so strike the necks, and strike every finger of them!” (Qur’an 8:12)
— “Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)
— “Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatever you spend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged.” (Qur’an 8:60)
— “Then, when the sacred months are over, kill the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.” (Qur’an 9:5)
— “Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, and do not practice the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book — until they pay the jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued.” (Qur’an 9:29)
— “Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Qur’an; and who fulfills his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
— “O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing.” (Qur’an 9:123)
— “So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and Allah is with you and will never deprive you of your deeds.” (Qur’an 47:35)
— “When you meet the unbelievers, strike their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads.” (Qur’an 47:4)
But not to worry. Non-Muslim English speakers are taking these verses out of context, you see.
James Lincoln says
Either Tajuddin Rasdi:
1. Does not understand islam.
or
2. Is lying.
Wellington says
Absolutely, James. It’s ignorance or mendacity. No third possibility.
gravenimage says
He has a few articles in the Malaysian press where he sounds plausibvly “moderate”–still pretty iffy, though.
Westman says
What! Muslims would tell a lie to advance Islam? With smiling faces and glad-handing?
Oh, wait! Robert Spencer wrote the the proof, above, right out of the Quran.
In my mind hear the lyrics to “Smiling Faces” with the substitution, “And Spencer’s got proof.”
James Lincoln says
Thank you for your replies Wellington, gravenimage, and Westman.
Traveler says
You want “True Islam?” You need look no farther than ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, etc. There, you will have “True Islam.”
Walter Sieruk says
Well, that man by stating the completely false claim , sure is, without doubt . a blatant liar.
He’s really putting Taqiyya into practice.
Walter Sieruk says
Those false and lying words that man spoke ,a Sociologist would explain are “impression management” to is meat to protect the reputation of Islam for the people of the West.
it’s still a lie, for example, remember the Islamic practice that the ‘House of Islam’ called “honor killing.”
gravenimage says
“Islam upholds the dignity of all human beings. It does not condone the labelling of non-Muslims as ‘animals’”
………………………………………………….
Islam says that Infidels are the “worst of created beings”–so we are lower than animals! Nice swerve…
Troybeam says
TRUE ISLAM, is he joking?
True Islam is seen everyday in every nation it is in.
Death, riots, victimhood and so forth.
Every single American must acknowledge the truth of Islam and their truth to conquer our nation & tell our government to do something like acknowledge Islam as a terrorist organization.
Nick Bryan says
Yep! In the UK you have gang rapes of white girls on an industrial scale committed by Pakistani Muslims. That’s true Islam right there.
Jerry says
Hadi has been drinking to much tequila, I mean Taqiyya. And “You Got That Loving F” by watching to much Tom Cruz. He maybe looking for some of those TransTeeFa’s to join his quest for terror.
Mell says
Islam defends the sanctity of life and the dignity of all human beings, regardless of race, faith, or even lifestyle.
Of course, it defends the sanctity of life and the dignity of all human beings so well that it invades our countries without giving a damn about what we think. Because we don’t care about Islam, it’s not our culture, we don’t want it in our country.
