前首相慕尤丁面对贪腐提控在社交媒体掀起热潮后，如今注意力转移到了一部2021年11月上映，与宗教题材有关的电影《飞行奶油》 （Mentega Terbang）。这部电影似乎成为新一代“伊斯兰勇士”的最新关注点。
导演和演员因此影片，汽车遭到破坏，以及收到死亡恐吓纸条的报导和图片，如今在国内和国际上广为人知。
这部讲述一名少女发现母亲得了晚期癌症后，试图了解死后的世界以及不同宗教对死后世界看法，为何会引起一些人如此野蛮和已属违法的反应，这是令许多人费解的。但事实上，如果能理解近年来我国伊斯兰被政治化的方式，这样的反应就不令人惊讶。
在导演凯里安华和演员阿尔尊塔那拉祖接获的死亡恐吓纸条中写到：
“你和你的家人必须死”
“你认为你的家人安全吗，《飞行奶油》？”
“伊斯兰将崛起！”
“《飞行奶油》，不要挑战伊斯兰教”
“你太傲慢了，《飞行奶油》。”
在官方回应方面，宗教事务部长莫哈末纳因表示，大马伊斯兰发展局（JAKIM）审查了影片的内容，发现影片与我国的伊斯兰教信仰和穆斯林行事方式有明显冲突。
大马通讯及多媒体委员会（MCMC）表示，基于这部电影是在流媒体平台上播放，不在当局审查权力范围内，不过当局已就此事联系了位于香港的流媒体服务商Viu，该公司已把电影下架。
捍卫伊斯兰至上
几十年来，“伊斯兰勇士”一直霸占著马来西亚的头条新闻。 他们以“纠正”马来社会中迷惑的群众为已任，对大量男同性恋者、女同性恋者的出现、爱狗人士行为、Cadbury巧克力猪基因和其他非清真产品供应商举动──认为许多穆斯林被异教徒和新殖民主义者异化了。
他们认为，要捍卫伊斯兰至上的地位，不仅要应对来自国外的威胁。更危险的威胁来自内部的，如以伪君子、叛徒、外来者、入侵者、混帐、酒鬼、狗贱民、怕输、自由主义者甚至温和派形式出现的威胁。
这些伊斯兰勇士认为，那一些意图破坏穆斯林社会乾净和纯洁结构的邪恶分子已经出现，如黑暗的撒旦散布谎言，在毫无戒心的穆斯林社会散播著混合民主、平等和人权价值的有毒宣传。
在这之前，我就点名过两名“伊勇士”，他们的名字应永远铭记在马来西亚伊斯兰历史一页。他们是大马穆斯林连线（ISMA）的领袖阿末扎基阿都位（Ahmad Zaik Abdullah Rahman ）和华裔穆斯林郑全行（ Mohd Ridhuan Tee），这“非凡一对”可能来自不同的背景，但他们相得益彰于不妥协的理念。
阿末扎基的立场是基于“马来人团结一致；伊斯兰至高无上”。华裔穆斯林郑全行因是一个改教者，无法挥舞马来族群主义大旗，因此他的口号是“穆斯林团结一致；伊斯兰至高无上”。
思想的禁锢是人类，尤其是穆斯林面临的最大祸害。这两个“勇士”不仅是在执行扫除令人讨厌的反穆斯林少数民族的任务，他们也同时在扮演“知识巨人”与无知作斗争，并改写国家发展进程。
这显然是一种“温言在口，大棒在手”的策略。 阿末扎基的成就包括那一本64页之书，《马来人团结，捍卫伊斯兰：30道问与答》（30 Soal Jawab Melayu Sepakat Islam Berdaulat）。在这本页数不多却影响深厚一书里，他为所有马来人、穆斯林和马来西亚面对著的紧迫问题，提供一切植根于古典伊斯兰知识的答案。
或许没有其他书可如阿末扎基这本书般，对马来人阅读世界产生如此重大影响。值得注意的是，为该书撰写前言的是时任副首相兼巫统署理主席慕尤丁，并由时任首相署部长（负责宗教事务）加米尔推介， 阿末扎基和郑全行个子都不高，但他们在政治上地位却不低。
剽窃非问题
与阿末扎基相比，郑全行的作品更为丰富，更早时被巫统媒体帝国以及伊党圈子视为学术明星。因为其每周专栏中大量有关伊斯兰评论的杰作（再加上他的学术成果），批评者声称郑全行的一些作品是从其他来源抄袭的。但这似乎不是问题，就像一些现任伊斯兰领袖对腐败问题轻描淡写或不屑一顾一样。
我们的伊斯兰勇士接下来要做什么？在他们要实现为国内穆斯林和伊斯兰打造一个人间天堂目标之前，有一个紧迫的问题需要解决
，即他们倡议的教义是基要主义沙菲仪派，还是他们在创造另一种新形式的伊斯兰？
一种在教义和礼仪上类似于瓦哈比教派的形式，但纯粹是马来式或至少（对于郑全行等类似者言）纯粹属马来西亚穆斯林。这个概念对马来西亚来说是革命性的：一个新的马来西亚化的伊斯兰，试图改变他人的信仰，但同时具攻击性、种族主义和排他性。
如果是这样的意图，显然新伊斯兰运动的守护神可能是马哈由，他是我国头号混血穆斯林。其他人可能会对此提出异议，认为完全土生土长的伊党主席哈迪阿旺才配得此殊荣。进步人士则可能会提议，首相安华和其昌明马来西亚才是众望所归，而且能够带来基于中庸、包容、善治和公平承认所有公民权益的普世改革模式。
哪一种伊斯兰勇士和哪种形式的伊斯兰会胜出，并决定我国马来人和非穆斯林的未来？
林德宜《大马最新伊斯兰勇士》原文：Malaysia's newest 'Islamic' warriors
After the social media frenzy over the corruption charges facing Muhyiddin, attention is now focusing on the religious front related to the film, Mentega Terbang. Released in November 2021, the film appears to have become the latest concern of the nation’s new generation of ‘Islamic’ warriors.
Reports and pictures of the vandalized cars of the director and scriptwriter together with the written placard threats are now circulating nationally and also internationally.
How and why the movie which tells the story of a teenager, who on finding out that her mother has terminal cancer, tries to find out about life after death and the way that different religions deal with the subject, has generated thuggish responses and criminal reactions may appear to be difficult to understand.
But in fact this response is not surprising considering the way in which Islam has been weaponized in the nation’s politics.
Messages left for Khairi Anwar Jailani and Arjun Thanaraju warned:
“You and your family must die”
“Do you think your family is safe, Mentega Terbang?”.
“Islam will rise up!”
“Mentega Terbang, don’t challenge Islam”
“You’re so arrogant, Mentega Terbang.”
On the official side, in response, Religious affairs minister Na’im Mokhtar said that JAKIM had reviewed the film’s content and found that it contradicted with Islamic beliefs and the Muslim way of life in the country.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) while saying that it had no authority to censor movies and TV dramas since they fall outside its scope, said that it
contacted Viu, the HK based movie streaming service regarding the matter, and the streaming service confirmed that the movie had been pulled down.
A Generation of ‘Islamic’ Warriors
‘Islamic’ warriors have hogged the headlines in Malaysia for several decades now. They have emerged to ride to the rescue of the rudderless masses confused by the arrival of huge numbers of gays, lesbians, dog lovers, Cadbury munchers and other purveyors of polluting and 'haram' consciousness and deeds - many of them secretly slipped in through our porous boundaries by infidels and other neo-colonialist agents.
Their war to ensure Islamic supremacy is not only against threats emanating from outside the country. The more dangerous threats are embedded deep within our midst in the form of munafik, pengkhianat, pendatang, penceroboh, Cinabengs, kaki botol, pariah dogs, kiasus, liberals and even moderates.
These devilish elements intent on destroying the fabric of clean and pure Muslim society have emerged from the Satanic darkness to spread lies and ply their propagandist toxic mix of moderation, democracy, equality and human rights to the unsuspecting Muslim population.
Earlier Islamic Icons
Earlier I had identified two warriors whose names appear to be emblazoned in the pages of Islamic history in Malaysia. They are Ahmad Zaik Abdullah Rahman and Mohd. Ridhuan Tee. This extraordinary pair may have come from differing backgrounds but they have complemented each other perfectly in their uncompromising philosophies.
Ahmad Zaik's stand is based on “Malays stand united; Islam reigns supreme”. Riduan Tee, a Chinese convert to Islam, cannot wave the Malay flag so easily. His slogan? “Muslims stand united; Islam reigns supreme”.
Imprisonment of the mind is the greatest scourge faced by humanity, especially by Muslims. Not only are these two warriors in the mission to cleanse the country of its unsavoury anti-Muslim minority, but they are also intellectual giants fighting ignorance and helping to rewrite the course of development in the country.
Clearly a 'speak loudly and carry a big stick' strategy. Ahmad Zaik's accomplishments include a 64 page book, '30 Soal Jawab Melayu Sepakat Islam Berdaulat'. In this incredibly slim but profound volume, he is able to provide answers rooted in classical Islamic knowledge to all the burning issues of Malays, Muslims and Malaysia.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to think of any other book that has had such an impact on the Malay reading world. It is noteworthy that the book's forward was written by Deputy Prime Minister and deputy Umno president Muhyiddin Yassin and launched by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Jamil Khir Baharom, both Islamic warriors, although perhaps of lesser stature, despite their higher political status.
Plagiarism Non-Issue
In comparison to Ahmad Zaki, Ridhuan Tee has been more prolific in his literary output and earlier was considered the intellectual star in UMNO's media empire as well as in PAS circles. Because he is so prolific at churning out masterpieces of Islamic commentary in his weekly column (and this is in addition to his formidable academic output), detractors have claimed that some of his work has been plagiarized from other sources. But that appears to be a non-issue in the same way that corruption has been downplayed or dismissed by some current Islamic leaders.
Saudi or Malaysianized Islam
What next for our Islamic warriors? There is one pressing issue to be resolved before achieving the paradise on earth that they envisage for Muslims and Islam in the country. Is it fundamentalist Shaf'i Islam that they are advocating or are they intent on creating a new form of Islam?
A form analogous to Wahhabi Islam in doctrine and in liturgy, but purely Malay or at least (for Riduan Tee's sake) purely Malaysian Muslim. This notion would be revolutionary for Malaysia: that a new Malayanised Islam open to converts in Malaysia, but at the same time aggressive, racist and exclusive, can be created.
If such is the intention, clearly the patron saint of the new Islamic movement could be Dr. Mahathir, the country's number one Muslim of mixed ancestry. Others may dispute this and propose that it should be the totally home-grown PAS president, Hadi Awang, who deserves this honor. Progressives are likely to propose that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, with his Malaysia Madani, is not only the most deserving of nominated icons but will be able to bring in a universal reformist version based on moderation, compassion, good governance and the fair recognition of the rights of all citizens.
Which Islamic warrior and what form of Islam wins could determine the future of Malays and Non-Muslims in Malaysia.
