the scary thing is, that there are actually a few people who actually think like this and assume most Thais are alike in these thoughts, and that they speak for all Thai people.
“…Margaret Heffernan, author of Wilful Blindness: Why We Ignore The Obvious At Our Peril, argues that large organizations have the tendency choose people like themselves, thus becoming victims of group think, to become deferent to authority, and become highly conformist even if decisions or conclusions reached are obviously wrong….”
I can say that this is absolutely spot on when it comes to Malaysia’s political leaders and government agencies.
Damn, Malaysia (UMNO) and Singapore (PAP) the same.
The Singapore government incompetent ?? while old LKY still lives and his son rules? Why Ah Beng, that’s errr . . . what’s the Christian word . . . blasphemy?
Ah Beng says ‘growing incompetency’. ‘Growing incompetency’ term commonly applies only to less-developed governments like Thailand, Philippines and neighbor Malaysia . . . because corruption feeds the incompetency, and growing corruption feeds growing incompetency.
If Ah Beng could cite me that in Singapore corruption in government has indeed surfaced palpably, then I could begin to give credence to Ah Beng’s claim that incompetency may indeed creeping in (with a vengeance?) at Singapore.
Vaclav Havel died and I read an in memoriam that quotes from his 1978 essay, “The Power of the Powerless”. It reminds me of the cold dead hand that seems to linger over Thailand these days:
“The manager of a fruit-and-vegetable shop places in his window, among the onions and carrots, the slogan: “Workers of the world, unite!” Why does he do it? What is he trying to communicate to the world? Is he genuinely enthusiastic about the idea of unity among the workers of the world? Is his enthusiasm so great that he feels an irrepressible impulse to acquaint the public with his ideals? Has he really given more than a moment’s thought to how such a unification might occur and what it would mean? ”
well if PTP and/or Thaksin/ were that powerful as Patrick# 27 suggests governing according to electoral mandate would be simple…(and Thaksin right now back in Thailand). Patrick notes: “Right now the monarchy is a hostage to Thaksin” (?) Blimey. Thaksin would love to hear that. He may be rich, but he is homeless. As for Crispin– I would not bank on the reliability of this information –or his reactionary yellow media outlet [always keen to sow the seeds of intrigue]. PTP in fact have to measure each move and there are lots of inside moves we just dont know about. It is not that simple –as Nick#29 also suggests. Having a gun pointed at one’s head (in the case of PTP) is not fun and does not allow much room for creativity; then ultimately Yingluck has to be responsible for outcomes and at the same time brave enough to take the consequences (e.g. as in immediately rectifying the Rome Treaty).
I agree with Nick in this instance, watch the coming weeks: far-right/ reactionaries on the street again; coopted civil society working their damn best to undermine any sense of [red shirt] pro-democratic sentiments and unity, or GOVT integrity, etc. as happened when they were obstructed and misinformed in relation to the flooding. We are goin back to the mess leading up the 2006 coup– next move is to roll out the anti-citizen high level judges to “fix the problem” for the amaat…
Unfortunately, it is not as simple as you state. Within the Qu’ran, several passages seems to contradict each other. To address this, Muhammad developed the doctrine of abrogation, i.e. verse that were written in Mecca are canceled out by verses written in Medina.
The Medinan verses have this to say about apostasy:
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is : execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land : that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter ; Sura 5:33
But those who reject Faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of Faith,- never will their repentance be accepted ; for they are those who have (of set purpose) gone astray. Sura 3:90
Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith – but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty. Sura 16:106
Those who believe, then reject faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject faith, and go on increasing in unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them nor guide them on the way. Sura 4:137
This view is further reinforced in the Hadith:
Narrated Ikrima: Some Zanakiqa (atheists) were brought to Ali; and he burnt them. The news of this event reached Ibn Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Messenger forbade it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire).’ I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Messenger: ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'” al-Bukhari 6922
Abu Qilaba al-Jarmi related that Anas said, “A group from ‘Ukl came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and became Muslim. They disliked Madina and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered them to go out to the zakat camels and drink their milk and urine. They did that and then regained their health. Then they apostatised and killed the herdsman and stole the camels. The Prophet sent [some people] in pursuit of them and they were brought and their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes gouged out and then they were not cauterised until they died.” al-Bukhari 6417
Abd-Allah ibn Masood said : The Messenger of Allah said : โIt is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim who bears witness that there is no god except Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, except in one of three cases : a soul (in case of murder) ; a married person who commits adultery ; and one who leaves his religion and separates from the main body of Muslims.โ Al Bukhari number 6484 and Sahih Muslim number 1676
etc.
That having been established, the question is who is eligible to determine whether someone has apostatized or not (called Takfir in Islam). The general view is that only a recognized Islamic scholar has the ability to practice Takfir; however, a growing movement known as the Takfiri argue that a Muslim can declare Takfir themselves, and is thus free to indulge in the violent punishments proscribed in the Medinan verses. The followers of Sayyid Qutb, a founding member of the Muslim Brotherhood (of whom Anwar Ibrahim is an well-known member), often argue from a Takfiri viewpoint.
It is worth noting that the author of this post, Dr. Zulkifi Hasan received two of his degrees and is currently faculty at the Islamic Science University of Malaysia, one of four Islamic Science centers established by Dr. Muhammad Abdul Rauf, another early founding member of the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Takfiri. That Dr. Zulkifi fails to mention the doctrine of Medinan abrogation, nor discuss the influnce of the Takfiri on the current Islamic viewpoint on apostasy leads me to believe that people like him are some of the biggest obstacles in the “honest scholarly-led debate based on facts, textual injunctions analyses and focused on the real issues rather than blindly beating around the bush.”
[…] Only, Laos was not happily stagnant. The countryโs single-party government wanted Laos off the list of least developed countries by 2020 and foreign investment โ in mining, transport, hydropower and, to a lesser extent, agriculture and services โ was how it planned to get there. The plan was working too: Laosโ economy, which neither grew nor shrunk substantially in the eighties and nineties, quadrupled in size between 2002 and 2010. Its traditional investors were Thai and Vietnamese, but last year, by investing $344 million over the course of just six months, Chinese companies had overtaken them both. […]
I re-read this interesting article and find that Zulkifli Hasan needs to clarify what he meant by the following confusing statement in the ‘Concluding remarks’:
“The preceding discussion concludes that Islam has a strong and solid theoretical and epistemological foundation for apostasy.”
Is Zulklifi saying that his article has built a strong case for Muslims to apostatize from Islam should they choose to?
If this is the case, then it outright contradicts what he has written under the section “Freedom of religion is not absolute”:
“…in order to protect the sanctity of this religion, Islam has laid down specific sanction on the matter of apostasy.”
[…] gegen den ัะะฎMissbrauchโ dieser Gesetze zur Ausschaltung anderer politischer Gegner wandte (siehe hier). In den Jahresberichten von 2007-2010 findet sich lediglich die Erwโะดhnung einer โะดuโะฏerst […]
I wish it is that simple. The problem is the mainstream views and interpretation on Islam is far from palatable and it is practiced in all of the Muslim countries save for Turkey, for now. I have always said to Muslim apologists that a religion cannot speak for itself and it is spoken only through the behaviour and the rituals of its followers. I have yet to see the views and interpretation by these Muslim apologists to materialise.
This aspect of Islam portrays one of its most ugly sides – i.e. the murder of those who think for themselves. Look today at the Islamic world, we see it backwards, regressive, and primitive. The poor people who have grown up into Islam, who have had to adopt this dark system, are kept in bondage. It is no wonder that their countries continue to regress since freedom of thought, freedom of creativity, freedom of expression is stifled. We see the Muslim states falling further behind the rest of the world in areas like education, science, and the arts. The more Islamic a state becomes, the farther it regresses.
If what you are saying is true, show it to me, where in the world that practices such an interpretation?
Thank you for taking the time and effort in writing the article which could be summarised as follows:-
– Apostasy was an offense according to other religions such as Christianity and Judaism. Question: is it still considered an offense now?
– Islam guarantees the “unconditional” freedom to choose any religion. This is acceptable but…
– Freedom from religion is not absolute once one becomes a Muslim. In other words, a person who believes in any religion other than Islam has absolute and unconditional freedom to opt in or opt out of any religion but a Muslim has no absolute freedom to opt out? How could this be right and sensible?
Your reason that Islam considers it an offense holds no water. It is like you wanting to migrate to another country but you present country considers this as an insult and would not let you go and even imprison you. How do you like that? Your wife wants to divorce you but you consider it as an insult to your manhood and you would not let her go and even punish her. Would you do that?
Religion may be about the divine but no God worth believing would impose such a condition. Just as no loving parents would punish their children who want to leave the family. They could only persuade them to stay and if they still insist, would provide support and ensure their safety.
I draft translated this a couple of years back, and it needs some checking, but I throw it out in case it did not appear on past pages. It is the standard procedure police cite internally to use in LM investigations.

Having now read that statement in its fullest detail, I ask whether those in the state, government, private groups and secret “cells” that spread hate speech against those who spoke in a legitimate manner, such as recent anti-US and anti-UN statements and demonstrations about the lese majeste law, are they also going to be held accountable? Is that, in fact, not why the US and UN finally spoke out – t0 to hold the Thai state accountable for its actions or lack thereof? Thailand is a signatory to various UN understakings; it should not cringe from its responsibilities, even when they involve Article 112 and the notorious 2007 Computer Crime Law, when just criticism is leveled against the country. Venting anger and indignation is not the way to needed reform.
When one is infatuated with oneself [and makes a career of ensuring one’s fellows are likewise infatuated] so as to claim perfection on the one hand, and so easily demonstrate unashamed disgust at those who claim otherwise – that is, those with common sense – it is difficult to see where this mild satire might find a nest in the tree. Abandoned religion, abandoned ethics, abandoned logic…what else is there not to abandon except illusion? Who else is there to imprison but those who prove what is not accepted?
“What do we really know? I think far too little.” – Nostitz
Well we know enough of Chalerm and Thaksin. Both are self-serving and very manipulative . . . and unashamedly very very corupt; and combative both.
Both rode and continue to ride the Red coat tails because it suited their self-interests just fine. Now riding the Royal coat tails becomes their new imperative .
Hallelujah Chalerm and Thaksin (and Yingluck too) have seen the light, and they have been enlightened. And Chalerm will wield and slash with his shining sword all those who continue to disbelieve and disobey, whatever color of coats they wear.

the scary thing is, that there are actually a few people who actually think like this and assume most Thais are alike in these thoughts, and that they speak for all Thai people.
Why Singapore government become like that?

Why Singapore government become like that?
“…Margaret Heffernan, author of Wilful Blindness: Why We Ignore The Obvious At Our Peril, argues that large organizations have the tendency choose people like themselves, thus becoming victims of group think, to become deferent to authority, and become highly conformist even if decisions or conclusions reached are obviously wrong….”
I can say that this is absolutely spot on when it comes to Malaysia’s political leaders and government agencies.
Damn, Malaysia (UMNO) and Singapore (PAP) the same.
How can like that?
Why Singapore government become like that?
The Singapore government incompetent ?? while old LKY still lives and his son rules? Why Ah Beng, that’s errr . . . what’s the Christian word . . . blasphemy?
Ah Beng says ‘growing incompetency’. ‘Growing incompetency’ term commonly applies only to less-developed governments like Thailand, Philippines and neighbor Malaysia . . . because corruption feeds the incompetency, and growing corruption feeds growing incompetency.
If Ah Beng could cite me that in Singapore corruption in government has indeed surfaced palpably, then I could begin to give credence to Ah Beng’s claim that incompetency may indeed creeping in (with a vengeance?) at Singapore.

Another academic victim of 112
Vaclav Havel died and I read an in memoriam that quotes from his 1978 essay, “The Power of the Powerless”. It reminds me of the cold dead hand that seems to linger over Thailand these days:
“The manager of a fruit-and-vegetable shop places in his window, among the onions and carrots, the slogan: “Workers of the world, unite!” Why does he do it? What is he trying to communicate to the world? Is he genuinely enthusiastic about the idea of unity among the workers of the world? Is his enthusiasm so great that he feels an irrepressible impulse to acquaint the public with his ideals? Has he really given more than a moment’s thought to how such a unification might occur and what it would mean? ”

well if PTP and/or Thaksin/ were that powerful as Patrick# 27 suggests governing according to electoral mandate would be simple…(and Thaksin right now back in Thailand). Patrick notes: “Right now the monarchy is a hostage to Thaksin” (?) Blimey. Thaksin would love to hear that. He may be rich, but he is homeless. As for Crispin– I would not bank on the reliability of this information –or his reactionary yellow media outlet [always keen to sow the seeds of intrigue]. PTP in fact have to measure each move and there are lots of inside moves we just dont know about. It is not that simple –as Nick#29 also suggests. Having a gun pointed at one’s head (in the case of PTP) is not fun and does not allow much room for creativity; then ultimately Yingluck has to be responsible for outcomes and at the same time brave enough to take the consequences (e.g. as in immediately rectifying the Rome Treaty).
I agree with Nick in this instance, watch the coming weeks: far-right/ reactionaries on the street again; coopted civil society working their damn best to undermine any sense of [red shirt] pro-democratic sentiments and unity, or GOVT integrity, etc. as happened when they were obstructed and misinformed in relation to the flooding. We are goin back to the mess leading up the 2006 coup– next move is to roll out the anti-citizen high level judges to “fix the problem” for the amaat…

I cannot tell if that is satire or real. That’s the frightening part.
Refining the misconception of apostasy in Islam
@ Neptunian
Unfortunately, it is not as simple as you state. Within the Qu’ran, several passages seems to contradict each other. To address this, Muhammad developed the doctrine of abrogation, i.e. verse that were written in Mecca are canceled out by verses written in Medina.
The Medinan verses have this to say about apostasy:
The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is : execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land : that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter ; Sura 5:33
But those who reject Faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of Faith,- never will their repentance be accepted ; for they are those who have (of set purpose) gone astray. Sura 3:90
Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith – but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty. Sura 16:106
Those who believe, then reject faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject faith, and go on increasing in unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them nor guide them on the way. Sura 4:137
This view is further reinforced in the Hadith:
Narrated Ikrima: Some Zanakiqa (atheists) were brought to Ali; and he burnt them. The news of this event reached Ibn Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Messenger forbade it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire).’ I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Messenger: ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'” al-Bukhari 6922
Abu Qilaba al-Jarmi related that Anas said, “A group from ‘Ukl came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and became Muslim. They disliked Madina and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered them to go out to the zakat camels and drink their milk and urine. They did that and then regained their health. Then they apostatised and killed the herdsman and stole the camels. The Prophet sent [some people] in pursuit of them and they were brought and their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes gouged out and then they were not cauterised until they died.” al-Bukhari 6417
Abd-Allah ibn Masood said : The Messenger of Allah said : โIt is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim who bears witness that there is no god except Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah, except in one of three cases : a soul (in case of murder) ; a married person who commits adultery ; and one who leaves his religion and separates from the main body of Muslims.โ Al Bukhari number 6484 and Sahih Muslim number 1676
etc.
That having been established, the question is who is eligible to determine whether someone has apostatized or not (called Takfir in Islam). The general view is that only a recognized Islamic scholar has the ability to practice Takfir; however, a growing movement known as the Takfiri argue that a Muslim can declare Takfir themselves, and is thus free to indulge in the violent punishments proscribed in the Medinan verses. The followers of Sayyid Qutb, a founding member of the Muslim Brotherhood (of whom Anwar Ibrahim is an well-known member), often argue from a Takfiri viewpoint.
It is worth noting that the author of this post, Dr. Zulkifi Hasan received two of his degrees and is currently faculty at the Islamic Science University of Malaysia, one of four Islamic Science centers established by Dr. Muhammad Abdul Rauf, another early founding member of the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Takfiri. That Dr. Zulkifi fails to mention the doctrine of Medinan abrogation, nor discuss the influnce of the Takfiri on the current Islamic viewpoint on apostasy leads me to believe that people like him are some of the biggest obstacles in the “honest scholarly-led debate based on facts, textual injunctions analyses and focused on the real issues rather than blindly beating around the bush.”
China – the largest foreign investor in Laos
[…] Only, Laos was not happily stagnant. The countryโs single-party government wanted Laos off the list of least developed countries by 2020 and foreign investment โ in mining, transport, hydropower and, to a lesser extent, agriculture and services โ was how it planned to get there. The plan was working too: Laosโ economy, which neither grew nor shrunk substantially in the eighties and nineties, quadrupled in size between 2002 and 2010. Its traditional investors were Thai and Vietnamese, but last year, by investing $344 million over the course of just six months, Chinese companies had overtaken them both. […]
Refining the misconception of apostasy in Islam
I re-read this interesting article and find that Zulkifli Hasan needs to clarify what he meant by the following confusing statement in the ‘Concluding remarks’:
“The preceding discussion concludes that Islam has a strong and solid theoretical and epistemological foundation for apostasy.”
Is Zulklifi saying that his article has built a strong case for Muslims to apostatize from Islam should they choose to?
If this is the case, then it outright contradicts what he has written under the section “Freedom of religion is not absolute”:
“…in order to protect the sanctity of this religion, Islam has laid down specific sanction on the matter of apostasy.”
Look forward to read his clarification.

Refining the misconception of apostasy in Islam
Dear Neptunian,
I wish it is that simple. The problem is the mainstream views and interpretation on Islam is far from palatable and it is practiced in all of the Muslim countries save for Turkey, for now. I have always said to Muslim apologists that a religion cannot speak for itself and it is spoken only through the behaviour and the rituals of its followers. I have yet to see the views and interpretation by these Muslim apologists to materialise.
This aspect of Islam portrays one of its most ugly sides – i.e. the murder of those who think for themselves. Look today at the Islamic world, we see it backwards, regressive, and primitive. The poor people who have grown up into Islam, who have had to adopt this dark system, are kept in bondage. It is no wonder that their countries continue to regress since freedom of thought, freedom of creativity, freedom of expression is stifled. We see the Muslim states falling further behind the rest of the world in areas like education, science, and the arts. The more Islamic a state becomes, the farther it regresses.
If what you are saying is true, show it to me, where in the world that practices such an interpretation?
Siti
Refining the misconception of apostasy in Islam
Thank you for taking the time and effort in writing the article which could be summarised as follows:-
– Apostasy was an offense according to other religions such as Christianity and Judaism. Question: is it still considered an offense now?
– Islam guarantees the “unconditional” freedom to choose any religion. This is acceptable but…
– Freedom from religion is not absolute once one becomes a Muslim. In other words, a person who believes in any religion other than Islam has absolute and unconditional freedom to opt in or opt out of any religion but a Muslim has no absolute freedom to opt out? How could this be right and sensible?
Your reason that Islam considers it an offense holds no water. It is like you wanting to migrate to another country but you present country considers this as an insult and would not let you go and even imprison you. How do you like that? Your wife wants to divorce you but you consider it as an insult to your manhood and you would not let her go and even punish her. Would you do that?
Religion may be about the divine but no God worth believing would impose such a condition. Just as no loving parents would punish their children who want to leave the family. They could only persuade them to stay and if they still insist, would provide support and ensure their safety.
Please reconsider your stance.

I draft translated this a couple of years back, and it needs some checking, but I throw it out in case it did not appear on past pages. It is the standard procedure police cite internally to use in LM investigations.

Having now read that statement in its fullest detail, I ask whether those in the state, government, private groups and secret “cells” that spread hate speech against those who spoke in a legitimate manner, such as recent anti-US and anti-UN statements and demonstrations about the lese majeste law, are they also going to be held accountable? Is that, in fact, not why the US and UN finally spoke out – t0 to hold the Thai state accountable for its actions or lack thereof? Thailand is a signatory to various UN understakings; it should not cringe from its responsibilities, even when they involve Article 112 and the notorious 2007 Computer Crime Law, when just criticism is leveled against the country. Venting anger and indignation is not the way to needed reform.

When one is infatuated with oneself [and makes a career of ensuring one’s fellows are likewise infatuated] so as to claim perfection on the one hand, and so easily demonstrate unashamed disgust at those who claim otherwise – that is, those with common sense – it is difficult to see where this mild satire might find a nest in the tree. Abandoned religion, abandoned ethics, abandoned logic…what else is there not to abandon except illusion? Who else is there to imprison but those who prove what is not accepted?

Well we know enough of Chalerm and Thaksin. Both are self-serving and very manipulative . . . and unashamedly very very corupt; and combative both.
Both rode and continue to ride the Red coat tails because it suited their self-interests just fine. Now riding the Royal coat tails becomes their new imperative .
Hallelujah Chalerm and Thaksin (and Yingluck too) have seen the light, and they have been enlightened. And Chalerm will wield and slash with his shining sword all those who continue to disbelieve and disobey, whatever color of coats they wear.
