Report made over 'behead Dayaks' postings

 

The Dayak National Congress (DNC), a non-governmental organisation, this afternoon lodged a police report over two Facebook postings calling for the slaughter of Dayaks.

The postings on the page 'JIM - Jemaah ISIS Malaysia' said that this is as Dayaks are non-Muslims.

One of the postings dated last Thursday alleged that Sabah and Sarawak are "kafir" (non-believer) states where Muslims are "compelled" to “slaughter" non-Muslims.

"Sabah Serawak adalah Negri kapir maka wajib ke atas umat islam menyembelih rkyat mereka di sana."

(Sabah and Sarawak are non-believer states so it is compulsory for Muslims to slaughter the people there)

In another posting today, the same user cited the Prophet Muhammad to say that the Dayaks – a loose term to refer to Sarawakian natives – are destined for hell and should be beheaded.

"Siapakah yang dimaksudkan oleh Rasulullah s.a.w. Tentang  golongan yg brpakaian tetapi bertelanjang dan mereka akan menghuni api neraka? …

"Yang dimaksudkan itu adalah Dayak. Mereka bercawat tapi masih nampak kemaluan. Barangsiapa bertemu dengan golongan ini. Penggal lah kepalanya."

(Who did the Prophet Muhammad refer to when he spoke of those who are nude despite being clothed, who inhabit hell?...

(He means the Dayak. They wear loincloths but their private parts can still be seen. Whoever sees this group, behead them.)

Checks by Malaysiakini at 5.20pm found that the Facebook page has been closed.

More dangerous than PPS

Speaking at the Sungai Maong Police station, Kuching, DNC executive secretary Alim Mideh (below) called on the Inspector General of Police to conduct an immediate investigation as what was stated was not only seditious, but could also cause racial and religious riot.

"The Dayaks are very angry over these statements. In order to avoid any untoward incident, it is in the best interest of racial harmony that the police carry out an immediate investigation and put a stop to these seditious remarks.

"If the police do not take action, there are some members of the Dayak community who are too emotional may take the law into their own hands," Alim warned.

He added that so-called Jemaah ISIS Malaysia is "more dangerous than the Penang Voluntary Patrol Unit (PPS)", which 154 members were arrested as the unit is not registered with the Registrar of Societies.

"(Jemaah ISIS Malaysia) can cause racial and religious riot, if it not handled properly," Alim said urging other Dayak NGOs to come forward to lodge police reports.

He also urged leaders of Sabah and Sarawak to raise the issue with the federal government.
