Suspected terrorists kill three police officers in Deli Serdang

An armed group consisting of 12 to 14 people, who were believed to be terrorists, attacked Hamparan Perak police station in Deli Serdang regency, North Sumatra, early on Wednesday, fatally shooting three police officers.

The attack took place at 00:30 a.m., destroying the police station, apparently in retaliation to a raid on the hideout of alleged terrorists by anti-terror Police Detachment 88 on Sunday.

In Sunday’s raid, one of the terrorists was shot dead.

"Although we have not got clear proof yet, early indications show that the attack was likely related to the raid on the hideout of alleged terrorists," North Sumatra police spokesman Sr. Comr. Baharuddin Djafar told public radio station RRI.

Based on projectiles found at the location, Baharuddin said, the attackers likely used AK-16 and FN pistol the same weapons used by robbers who held up a Medan branch of the CIMB Niaga bank last month in which a police officer was shot dead.

The police link the deadly Medan bank heist to terrorists. The police's Detachment 88 have arrested a total of 20 suspected terrorists during the past few days and shot dead three other suspects.

Bharuddin said that there were four police officers inside the Hamparan Perak police station when the attackers arrived and shot randomly at the police station. The attackers entered the police station and shot dead three of the four officers.

One prisoner held at the police station said one attacker shot dead one policeman on duty in front of the prison cell and left without saying anything, Baharuddin said.

He said the police were currently hunting down the attackers.

Malaysia police probe alleged Indonesia maid abuse

Malaysian police investigated a couple Monday for allegedly raping, beating and scalding their Indonesian maid in the latest such case that could strain ties between the neighboring countries.
Indonesia banned maids from going to Malaysia last year amid an outcry over a series of abuse cases by Malaysian employers. The two countries are still negotiating to ensure better protection for some 230,000 Indonesians who work as maids in Malaysia

The 26-year-old maid from Sumatra was found wandering around a neighborhood in northern Penang state early last week and was hospitalized with "severe injuries," said Indonesian Embassy official Widyarka Ryananta.
The woman claimed her male employer sexually abused her since May, while his wife beat her when she refused, said Ryananta, who visited her in the hospital Sunday. The woman was also allegedly beaten with a belt, and her back scalded with boiling water and her breasts with a hot iron, he said.
Penang police chief Ayub Yaakob said the employers have been in custody since Friday and were being investigated for rape, causing grievous injuries and human trafficking. Rape is punishable by up to 20 years in jail and caning, and trafficking with another 20 years.
The maid started to work for the family in February before they abandoned her, dropping her off in the neighborhood where she was found last week. It is unclear when she came to Malaysia, Ryananta said.
"We are disappointed that these cases (occur) again and again," she said. "The two countries now are aware that they have to protect the maids."
Indonesians account for the majority of Malaysia's foreign domestic workers. Indonesian officials say hundreds complain every year of mistreatment, overwork and unpaid salaries.
In July, a sugar cane juice seller was sentenced to death for murdering his Indonesian maid - a rare conviction. The maid died last October after police found her beaten, starved and locked in a bathroom in her employer's home.

World markets mostly lower following Fed message

World stock markets were mostly lower Wednesday after the Federal Reserve said it was ready to do more to help the flailing U.S. economy but stopped short of announcing specific measures.

Oil prices hovered above $75 a barrel after a report showed U.S. supplies unexpectedly rose last week, a sign demand for crude may not be improving. The dollar weakened against the euro and the yen.

Asian stocks had a back and forth session, with most benchmarks ending the day in negative territory. Markets were closed for holidays in South Korea, mainland China and Taiwan.

In Europe, shares opened lower. Britain's FTSE 100 index was down 0.9 percent to 5,524.14, Germany's DAX was 0.7 percent lower at 6,234.90, and France's CAC-40 shed 0.8 percent to 3,754.23.

Wall Street was set to fall. Dow futures were off 38 points, or 0.4 percent, at 10,656.00 and broader S&P futures dropped 4.7, or 0.4 percent, to 1,130.00.

The U.S. central bank said Tuesday it is concerned that inflation is below levels consistent with a healthy economy and indicated that it is ready to provide "additional accommodation" to support the recovery. That would mean more purchases of Treasurys or other kinds of debt, which would keep interest rates low and hopefully encourage borrowing.

But the impact of the Fed's statement on Wall Street was short-lived. The Dow ended slightly up but the Standard & Poor's 500 index and the Nasdaq fell.

Analysts said that some investors were losing faith in the ability of the Fed to revive the world's No. 1 economy.

"The economy is still stuck in neutral and hardly growing at all. America is still looking for a magic formula to revive the economy, but the No. 1 problem is that America is too deeply in debt," said Francis Lun, general manager of Fulbright Securities Ltd. in Hong Kong.

Some markets in Asia, though, had prospects for a brighter month. China's traditional September shopping spree helped lift Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, which has rebounded nearly 8 percent so far in September after a melancholy August. The index closed up 45.12 points, or 0.2 percent, to 22,047.71.

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 added 0.2 percent to 4,625.2 while Singapore's benchmark fell 0.1 percent to 3,093.10. India's Sensex was down 0.9 percent at 19,829.69 and Indonesia's benchmark slid 0.8 percent to 3,338.14.

In Japan, the Nikkei 225 stock average closed down 0.4 percent at 9,566.32 as the yen strengthened. The dollar was trading below the 85-yen line, which it had maintained since the government intervened in currency markets last week to stem the yen's rise.

Exporters lost ground as a result, with Toyota Motor Corp. down 1 percent and Canon Inc. falling 1.1 percent. Bucking the trend was Panasonic Corp., which soared 2.4 percent after the Nikkei financial daily reported that the electronics giant had shelved plans to raise funds by issuing new shares.

U.S. stocks had a brief bump Tuesday following news that the Fed was ready to help the economy, but the gains faded late in the day after no big new measures were announced. The Dow rose 7.41, or 0.1 percent, to close at 10,761.03. But Standard & Poor's 500 index slipped 2.93, or 0.3 percent, to 1,139.78, and the Nasdaq composite fell 6.48, also 0.3 percent, to 2,349.35.

Investors began selling dollars after the Fed statement. The dollar weakened against major currencies, falling to 84.83 yen from 85.01 yen in New York late Tuesday. The euro rose to $1.3293 from $1.3270.

Benchmark crude for November delivery was up 24 cents to $75.21 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell $1.22 to settle at $74.97 on Tuesday

RI, Russia to bilateral economic forum

The Indonesian government will soon sign an agreement with the Russian government to establish a bilateral economic forum to address issues on economic and trade cooperations between the two countries, a minister says.

Trade Minister Mari Elka Pangestu said on Tuesday that the forum would function as a place for Jakarta and Moscow to discuss and exchange perspectives on potentials and constraints in boosting trade and investments.

“Indonesian businessmen barely recognize huge business potentials of Russia and so do Russian businessmen,” she told reporters at her office in Jakarta.

She added the forum would be a bridge for the two countries' businessmen to explore opportunities of doing businesses in each country.

She said that among constraints that hindered the growth of Indonesia's exports to Russia were the absence of financial accesses from either Russian or Indonesian banks for exporters. The absence of direct transportations to send goods from Indonesia to Russia, and vice versa, also became one of the main concerns, she added.

According to the Trade Ministry's data, Indonesia's export to Russia in the first half of this year reached US$242 million, while the import was $540,3 million.

In 2009, Indonesia-Russia trade stood at $774 million with an export of $316 million. (rdf)

The Correct Islamic Ruling on the Muslim Woman’s Dress

By Dr. Nazreen Nawaz
The recent plans to introduce anti-hijab laws in France and Germany have thrown into the limelight once again, numerous discussions on the Islamic dress code for women. Many have asked, is the hijab an actual obligation in Islam or an issue of personal choice for the woman? Should the dress code take a specific form or is it the right of the woman to decide for herself what she considers as being modest attire?

There are a few Muslims that argue that the hijab or khimar (headcovering) is not an Islamic obligation commanded by the Islamic texts but rather a personal choice of the woman. They argue that it is sufficient for the woman to dress modestly according to her own opinion of what modesty entails. For example, Gammal Banna, an Egyptian author of several books on the rights of Muslim women and brother of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood commented, “The head scarf is not an obligation, but derives from an erroneous reading of the Koran .. Wearing the headscarf or not is part of a debate on morals and not on religious obligations ... Whether a woman wears a scarf or a mini-skirt is a matter of individual liberty.” He also stated that he did not support the French President’s decision to ban the hijab because it interfered with the personal choice of the woman to wear a headscarf.

Such comments have been introduced in recent times by those whose lives have been afflicted by the western thoughts. Such misguided notions were noticeably absent throughout the glorious history of the Islam, over the past thousand years. The commands and prohibitions of Islam are contained in the texts of Islam, the Quran and Sunnah, and it is these that one should examine when seeking the rule of Allah (swt). It is clear that the covering of the hair in the presence of non-Mahrem men (those men the woman can marry) by the hijab or khimar is definitely an Islamic obligation (fard) commanded clearly by the Islamic texts. Allah(swt) says in Surah Nur,

“Let them draw their head-coverings (khumur) over their necks and chest” [TMQ An-Nur: 31].

The head-coverings (khumur) were worn by the women of Quraish in the time of the Prophet (saw). They used to cover their heads, and the cloth would run down their backs exposing their necks and chests. Hence the command to wear the head-covering specifies also how to cover (covering all the head, neck and chest).

In one hadith reported by Aisha (ra), she said that Asmaa bint Abu Bakr entered the quarters of the Messenger of Allah (saw) wearing thin clothes. The Messenger (saw) turned his face away and said, “Oh Asmaa, if the woman reaches puberty, it is not allowed to be seen from her except this and this”, and he pointed to his face and hands.

Fortunately, most Muslim women understand the hijab as an obligation but there is often confusion or misconceptions of what the hijab is, and what the dress code is for the woman in public life. So some may view the dupatta (the see-through scarf that accompanies the shalwar kameez) as sufficient even though the hair and neck can be seen. Some may place a loose scarf over their heads while some of their hair remains exposed. Some wear the bandanna, covering all the hair but exposing the ears and neck. Finally, there are those who may wear the hijab correctly and cover all their hair, neck and ears but accompany it with a T-shirt and tight jeans or above ankle skirt, exposing their arms, legs and showing the shape of their body.

In Islam, the rules pertaining to the covering of the woman both in private life and in the public arena are not a matter of personal interpretation according to the concept of modesty, personal choice, or personal opinion. Rather they are detailed and specific as with all the Ahkham (rules) of Islam. For example, Allah (swt) has not commanded the prayer and then left people to choose for themselves how to pray. Rather the actions in each and every prayer have been described and specified. Similarly, Allah (swt) has not ordered the woman to wear the hijab or khimar and then left it to personal preference as to its form. Rather the rules of the Islamic dress code for the woman have been described in detail. In such a matter, the Muslimah would follow the obligation to cover in the defined manner, the way she would follow the rules for prayer. The mind, and personal opinions have no part to play in the hijab, as they have no part to play in the prayer. Allah (swt) says,

“But no, by thy Lord, they can have no (real) faith until they make thee judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against thy decisions but accept them with the fullest of submission” [Al-Nisa: 65]

As clear in the ayah and hadith mentioned earlier, the adult Muslim woman should cover everything except her face and hands in the presence of all non-mahrem men (those to whom she can marry). The clothes should not be thin such that her skin can be seen, or tight such that the shape of her body can be seen. The whole body of the woman, including her neck and hair (even one hair), except for her face and hands are awrah (that which it is haram to reveal to any non-mahrem man). In Surah An-Nur, Allah (swt) says,

“And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.” [An-Nur:31]

Ibn Abbas explained the words, “...beyond what may (decently) be apparent thereof” as referring to the face and hands.

In addition, when the woman leaves her home and enters the public arena, she has been commanded to wear the khimar (a head cover that covers the entire head, neck, and the chest) and the jilbab (a one piece outer dress that covers her indoor clothes and drapes down to the floor). It is not sufficient that she wears the khimar accompanied by a skirt and blouse or shirt and trousers. Allamah ibn Al Hazam writes,

"In the Arabic language of the Prophet, Jilbab is the outer sheet which covers the entire body. A piece of cloth which is too small to cover the entire body could not be called Jalbab." [Al Muhalla, vol. 3, p. 217]. If she leaves the home without these two pieces of clothing then she would be sinful for she has neglected a command from Allah (swt). The evidence for the jilbab is also clear. Allah (swt) says in Surah Al-Ahzab,

“Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (Jalabeeb) all over their bodies.” [Al-Ahzab:59]

In addition, in one hadith narrated by Umm Atiyya (ra), she said, “The Messenger of Allah (saw) ordered us to bring out the young women, the menstruating women and veiled women for the two Eid festivals. The menstruating women were to keep away from prayer, yet witnessing the goodness and the dawa (address) to the Muslims. I asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what about the one who does not have a Jilbab?’. He said, ‘Let her use the Jilbab of her sister.’” The Prophet (saw) maintained the insistence that the women wear the jilbab even if she did not possess one, i.e. she would have to borrow one.

A Muslim woman should not imitate the western woman who uses her own mind to decide what to wear, and what is appropriate to be seen in. Aisha (ra) is narrated as having said to some women from the tribe of the Bani Tamim who were wearing dresses made of thin material when they were visiting her, "If you are mumin (true believers) this is not the type of dress suitable for mumin women. But if you are not mumin, then do as you please."

Muslim women of today should take guidance from the Muslim women of the past who were praised by the Messenger (saw) and gained the Pleasure of Allah (swt). When the verses for covering were revealed they responded immediately without a second of delay by covering their awrah with whatever they could find of material. Safiyyah, daughter of Shaybah, said that Aisha (ra) mentioned the women of Ansar, praised them and said good words about them. She then said, “When Surat an-Nur came down, they took the curtains, tore them and made head covers (veils) of them.” (Sunan Abu Dawud).

Hence the hijab is much more than covering modestly, or following traditional or contemporary customs and practices. It is an Islamic obligation that has precise rules, and needs to be fulfilled in the manner that Islam has prescribed. Read more...
