Wanita jangan terpedaya ajakan pihak guna jihad, Islam

ROHANI: Wanita jangan mudah terpedaya, Islam tidak pernah ajar jihad seksual seperti itu.

KUANTAN: Wanita Islam di negara ini perlu berhati-hati dan jangan terpedaya dengan ajakan pihak yang menggunakan jihad dan Islam sehingga menjadi mangsa kegiatan kumpulan militan Negara Islam Iraq dan Syria (ISIS).

Menteri Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat Datuk Seri Rohani Abdul Karim berkata amat menyedihkan jika benar dakwaan bahawa ada wanita Malaysia terlibat dalam kumpulan militan itu.

"Walaupun perkara itu tidak pasti kesahihannya, namun saya ingin menyeru kepada semua wanita, jangan pergi buat perkara itu kerana menurunkan martabat seorang wanita. Agama Islam tidak pernah mengajar kita buat benda seperti itu.

"Saya menyeru kepada semua wanita agar jangan mudah terpedaya kerana Islam tidak pernah mengajar jihad yang seperti itu," katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis penutupan Kem Integrasi Perintah Khidmat Masyarakat (PKM) di Felda Bukit Kuantan di sini pada Khamis.

Rohani mengulas laporan portal beritaThe Malaysian Insider pada Rabu yang mendakwa terdapat sekurang-kurang tiga wanita dari negara ini yang menyertai Isis untuk menawarkan 'Jihad Al-Nikah' atau jihad seksual.

Menurut portal berkenaan yang memetik kenyataan seorang pegawai perisik, Jihad Al-Nikah merujuk kepada konsep kontroversi iaitu wanita Sunni dikatakan menawarkan diri mereka dalam bentuk peranan memenuhi keperluan seksual pejuang yang memperjuangkan undang-undang Islam.

Nigeria confirms Ebola death of medical doctor

The doctor apparently contracted the disease after treating an ECOWAS - File Photo

A medical doctor has died of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Nigeria's southern city of Port Harcourt,

becoming the first death from the virus outside the commercial city of Lagos, the authorities in Rivers State, of which Port Harcourt is capital, confirmed.

State Commissioner for Health Sampson Parker told journalists Thursday that the doctor apparently contracted the disease after treating an ECOWAS staff who had primary contact with the index case, Liberian Patrick Sawyer, in Lagos.

He said the ECOWAS Staff sneaked into Port Harcourt from Lagos and stayed at a private hotel in the southern city, where he was treated by the medical doctor.

However, while the doctor died last Friday, the ECOWAS staff, who has since returned to Lagos, is still alive.

The Commissioner identified the medical doctor as Ike Enemuo but did not identify the ECOWAS staff by name, neither did he give the name of the hotel where he stayed in Port Harcourt.

He however said 100 people who had contact with the medical doctor had been put under surveillance.

PANA reports that another ECOWAS staff in Lagos had died of the disease.

Sawyer was assisted to the hospital by the ECOWAS Protocol staffers who met him on arrival at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos last month, when he came for a conference in the southern city of Calabar.

The latest EVD death brings to six the number of people who have died of the disease in Nigeria, and the spread of the virus to Port Harcourt represents a setback for Nigeria's efforts to curtail the virus.

On Tuesday, Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu had declared that Nigeria had succeeded in checkmating the spread of the virus in the country.

“Ebola has been curtailed. All 129 people under surveillance have completed the 21-day observation period and only a person is symptomatic and is being observed,” he had said.

But on Wednesday, the Minister stepped back from his earlier declaration, saying it was still early for Nigeria to claim to be free of the virus.

Also on Wednesday, the Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General on Ebola, David Navarro, has hailed Nigeria's successful containment of the disease.

“The Secretary-General asked me to come here too, not because you have an Ebola problem, but because you have tackled it in an exemplary fashion,' Navarro has

told President Goodluck Jonathan during a meeting in the capital city of Abuja.

According to the latest update by the World Health Organization (WHO), 1,552
