If extramarital sex and indulging in black magic  are both haram in Islam, why then has Najib refused to admonish Sarawak  Chief Minister, Taib Mahmud and his alleged links with black magic.<\/p>\n<p>Balingian independent candidate Salleh Jafaruddin had criticised Taib  for surrendering his mental, physical and spiritual faculties to  \u201cforeign witchcraft\u201d. Salleh described Taib as a \u201csemi-insane leader\u201d  and that \u201cforeign witches are currently encircling him and his closely  guarded political cronies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Salleh said, \u201cI personally met and confronted the three witches on the day of nomination in Mukah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Days earlier, Najib said that he was keen to set up the RCI to  investigate the sex video which purportedly featured Anwar. He blamed  Pakatan for being inconsistent in its principles: \u201cIf you look in the  past, when a controversial incident occurs, Pakatan Rakyat&#8217;s first  reaction is to demand that an inquiry be set up. In this case, it looks  like they are not consistent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it is Najib who is inconsistent with his condemnations.<\/p>\n<p>Salleh and Taib are former chief minister Rahman Yaakob\u2019s nephews.  Salleh fell out of favour in the 1980s when he became involved in a bid  to topple Taib in the well-known \u201cMing Court\u201d affair. Up till that  incident, Salleh had been tipped to take over and lead Taib\u2019s PBB party.  Since then, Salleh and other PBB leaders, have become Taib\u2019s sworn  enemies.<\/p>\n<p>Salleh had revealed his horror at Taib\u2019s involvement with the bomohs.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cNot many souls know this inside story until the surprise  incident that took place on the nomination day in Mukah.\u00a0 The extent of  their wicked influence over Taib\u2019s political grip is beyond repair to  the extent of even ignoring our prime minister\u2019s political influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The devotion to black magic seriously undermines Taib Mahmud\u2019s claims  to be a progressive force in Sarawak.\u00a0\u00a0It is even more damaging because  of his carefully cultivated reputation as a devout Muslim.<\/p>\n<p>The Muslim faith strictly bans any consultation of\u00a0these pre-Islamic  practitioners of magic and dark arts, who are considered to be\u00a0bad and  dangerous. The majority Christian population of Sarawak\u00a0will be equally  dismayed for similar reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The Islamic faith recognises the existence of such evil spirits like  djins, however it forbids attempting to make contact with them.<\/p>\n<p>Last November, Taib returned from a pilgrimage to Mecca and said he  had received an inspiration on when to call the next state elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have the inspiration, but I won&#8217;t tell you (the date),\u201d he said at the Hornbill Skyways Hangar.<\/p>\n<p>According to insiders, Taib\u2019s alleged practice of consulting the  bomohs has been a carefully guarded secret among his entourage for many  years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will always consult the bomoh before he makes an important  decision, like which minister to hire or fire, or which investments to  make\u201d, one senior politician has confided.<\/p>\n<p>Another member of the inner circle, linked closely to the family,  also described how\u00a0one particular\u00a0bomoh had a \u2018Rasputin-like\u2019 hold over  the superstitious Chief Minister for many years.\u00a0 This bomoh died\u00a0two  years ago, shortly after the death of Taib\u2019s first wife Laila. Ever  since then, Taib has been through a succession of bomohs, as none have  been as powerful and as effective.<\/p>\n<p>Do we really want our heads of state to consult a bomoh for their  every move? Aren\u2019t they supposed to uphold the tenets of the religion?<\/p>\n<p>Why is it that Jakim and the various religious departments are mute  when BN ministers engage shamans to summon demonic forces and use black  magic in their quest to hold on to power?<\/p>\n<p>And yet Jakim is delirious when it comes to insignificant matters  like yoga, poco-poco dancing, valentine\u2019s day and wearing Manchester  United football jerseys because according to the warped understand of  these mullahs, these things preach Christian values, Hindu chants or  encourage devil worshipping.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that Jakim and Najib are inconsistent with their views on what constitutes good Islamic practices.<\/p>\n<p>It has been 18 years since bomoh Mona Fandey murdered an ambitious Umno ADUN before cutting him up into 18 pieces.<\/p>\n<p>During the 65-day trial, Malaysians learnt of the victim\u2019s political  ambitions that led him to Mona who promised to fulfil his wildest dreams  for RM2.5mil.<\/p>\n<p>Mazlan, Umno\u2019s Batu Talam assemblyman, was not Mona\u2019s only client.  \u00a0Mona\u2019s other clients were mostly from the upper-class society and she  told the court, she provided charms and talismans to her politician  clients, many of whom were in Umno.<\/p>\n<p>Mazlan was convinced that Mona made him \u201cinvincible\u201d. Mazlan was not  some uneducated bumpkin but trained in the USA. He sought the help of  witchcraft because he was greedy and he had fierce political ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>Does it sound familiar?<\/p>\n<p>So why won\u2019t Najib condemn the politicians who indulge in black magic?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Malaysia Chronicle<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prime Minister Najib Razak has condemned Pakatan Rakyat for opposing the RCI on the sex video purporting to implicate Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
