A vocal PKR MP Zulkifli Noordin wants the Companies Commission to stop Sisters in Islam (SIS) from using the word “Islam” in its title. The Kulim-Bandar Baru MP has instead proposed in his blog that SIS change its name to Ikatan Wanita Kosmopolitan (Cosmopolitan Wo-men’s Alliance) – IWK being a reference to the sewerage treatment company – as “most of its members do not wear the tudung” and “are unmarried”.
Zulkifli said the word “Islam” in SIS also gave the perception that the group was speaking on behalf of or representing the voice of Islam.
“How are they going to talk about women’s rights and Muslim marriages when they themselves do not adhere to and practise the basic Islamic rule?” asked Zulkifli.
Zulkifli claimed that SIS had confused the public because it was misusing the word “Islam” when it had not registered itself as such.
“This group is not a non-governmental organisation registered under the Societies Act. It is registered as Sis Forum Sdn Bhd under the Companies Act, which is not related to Islam, but it promotes itself worldwide as Sisters in Islam,” he said.
However, Zulkifli, who is a lawyer, said banning SIS would only evoke sympathy and be exploited by narrow-minded people to ridicule Islam. He also urged the authorities to probe the group, adding that the National Fatwa Council should organise a muzakarah (discussion) on SIS and demand an explanation if it was deemed to be deviating.
Note : After PAS Mukhtamar, I was surprised with our local media bringing-up this issue. For me it was clearly announced that this resolution was approved to ASK JAKIM / MAJLIS FATWA TO INVESTIGATE SIS (SISTERS IN ISLAM) and banned them if they’re deviate or totally out from Islamic beliefs / practices.
… and Personnaly, I am agreed with the suggetsion that SIS shall be removed to use the word of ISLAM. ( a lot of ‘hujah’ for this …)
