The Selangor
Islamic Department (Jais) director Datuk
Khusrin Munawi defended today the arrests
of 200 Shia made two weeks ago.
Khusrin claimed that those arrested were
practicing deviant Islamic teachings and
stressed that he need not apologise.
“We have been observing the group for the
past two years, we have enough evidence
to declare they have deviated from Islamic
teachings,” Khusrin told The Malaysian
Insider.
“So I will not apologise, why should we
apologise to the people we arrest,” he said.
“It was not a usual gathering, they were
there to promote their teachings which is
illegal. That was why we acted swiftly as we
did not want things to get worse,” he
added.
Jais raided a shop house in Gombak two
weeks ago and arrested the group which
included foreigners in what was the largest
crackdown of Shia in the country.
The raid was conducted on Asyura Day, a
day of mourning for Shia over the
death of Prophet Mohamad’s grandson
Husayn in a civil war against the Umayyad
Caliphate.
Yesterday the Shia group asked Khusri to
apologise over the arrest, describing as a
violation of human rights.
“If they are not happy, they can take us to
court. We have proof to show that they
have deviated,” said Khusrin.
“Even a fatwa issued by the Selangor
government clearly said that the Shias are
considered deviant group,” he added.
According to a fatwa issued by the
Selangor government in 1998, Shia
teachings were considered unIslamic and
contradict the Sunni doctrines, which is
widely practice in the country.
A special consultation by the National Fatwa
Counil in 1996 also declared that Malaysian
Muslims must only subscribe to the Sunni
teachings.
The arrest of Shia however, was
condemned by former Perlis Mufti Dr Mohd
Asri Zainul Abidin, who described it as a sign
of ‘Talibanisation’.
