There has been a lot of talk about the JI scums. Everybody wants to them in court. Everybody wants to see them convicted. Everybody wants to see the evidence. But the government does not want to have an open trial for the JI terrorists. Why? The government has been admittedly open about the arrests in the press. Why stop there and not carry on with an open court trial?
Take part in our online poll on whether the JI pricks should have an transparent fair hearing despite being criminals.

NO.....
because... the trial MIGHT and could end up putting ISLAM on trial rather then the JI terrorist... since the JI believes that their actions are grounded from the islamic teachings.... Such a trial would end up splitting the muslim community as well as placing the malays and their religion on the spotlight....
This could lead to controversy and suspicions.... and thus not good for national unity... as putting ISLAM on trial effectively pits the national court against the islamic faith.... BAD BAD thing to do...
secondly... ISA is to act as deterrent... a giant stick.... its deterrence values could be reduced if furture offenders think that there is a way out of ISA's grip through the legal system....
thats my opinion... so my answer is NO...
