Kenyataan rasmi ISMA mengenai 1Melayu 1Bumi
Ketuanan Melayu Islam di Malaysia adalah satu nilai tetap yang mesti dihormati. Ia tidak akan tercapai melainkan selepas bangsa Melayu bersatu dan kuasa politik kekal di tangan orang Melayu.
RESPONSE
Mankind! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you in God's sight is that one of you who best performs his duty. God is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
(The Qur'an , 49:13)
Basic tenets of racism have always claimed that their own race or nation is superior to others, and have used this claim as an excuse to seize other nations' lands and goods. This racist claim ends in countless wars, killings, and 'ethnic cleansing.'
Whereas, as we have seen, the Qur'an teaches that superiority does not lie in race, color or any other feature, but in closeness to God and living by faith and morals.
As the verse makes clear, God has divided people into different races and ethnic groups so that they can get to know one another and live in peace, brotherhood and tolerance.
There can be no question of biological superiority among different races and ethnic groups. God ascribes the only 'superiority' among human beings to closeness to Him, and living in faith and morality. In a condition where people adhere to the Qur'an , therefore, there will be no conflict of race, color or tribe, and claims of superiority on these grounds will never be able to find fertile ground to grow in.
In another holy verse, God describes racism as the "fanatical rage of the Time of Ignorance", and reveals to believers that He will protect them against this provocative ideology:
Those who disbelieve filled their hearts with fanatical rage - the fanatical rage of the Time of Ignorance - and God sent down serenity to His Messenger and to the believers, and obliged them to respect the formula of heedfulness which they had most right to and were most entitled to. God has knowledge of all things.
(The Qur'an , 48:26)

ISMA
Selaku pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) Melayu Islam, ISMA berpendapat seruan tersebut amat bertepatan dengan slogan yang dibawa oleh ISMA iaitu ‘Melayu Sepakat Islam Berdaulat’.
RESPONSE
It's not just Malay union, but Islamic Union
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.
(The Qur'an , 03:103)
Islamic Union will be the salvation of the world Insha'Allah. Those beautiful days are very imminent. No one acting within the spirit of the system of the Mahdi, no one acting within the spirit of the Islamic Union would ever be defeated. They will then become the party of God. The Party of God would never be defeated.
If ISMA has the intention to do good, he should support the Islamic Union with explicit statements and ask for the unity of our homeland and our nation, not just Malay Union.

ISMA
Bangsa Melayu selaku penghuni asal Tanah Melayu adalah golongan yang paling berhak ke atas kepimpinan negara dan menjadi penentu rupa bentuk kenegaraan dan masa depan negara.
Atas dasar itu, ISMA melihat ketuanan Melayu wajib dipertahankan. Ketuanan yang diertikan sebagai memelihara kedaulatan, pembelaan maruah bangsa dan masa depan negara inilah yang mampu merealisasikan aspirasi politik Islam sepenuhnya.
... tetapi persepakatan bersama dalam usaha memelihara ketuanan Melayu ...
RESPONSE
ISMA, take notes from this statement:
"I have been appointed as ruler over you although I am not the best among you. I have never sought this position nor has there ever been a desire in my heart to have this in preference to anyone else... If I do right, you must help and obey me; if I go astray, set me upright... Obey me so long as I obey Allah and His Messenger. If I disobey them, then you have no obligation to follow me"
(Abu Bakr Siddiq)
It is Allah, who determine and giving power to the people over the land:
"Those who, if We give them power in the land, establish prescribed prayers (salah) and pay the poor-due (zakah) and enjoin right conduct and forbid evil. And with Allah rests the end (and decision) of (all) affairs."
(The Qur'an, 22:41)
In today's society the best way of selecting a leader or a man to an important position is by election. Though election may be the solution of this problem, yet this method cannot be correct in every situation, because election cannot alter the reality; it cannot make right as wrong or wrong as right.
If the truth is the truth it can never be untruth despite the limited number of people supporting it. Nobody can say that a thing selected by 51 persons can be better than the one selected by 49 persons.
True, for practical purposes the opinion of the majority can be considered but can majority opinion points towards truth or realities? No, in principle the Islamic government is established on Divine principles and the majority or the minority opinion has no value because this government in fact is the government of Allah.
Would it not be better that Allah Who is Omniscient and most Merciful of the merciful should Himself appoint the Imam for the guidance of mankind.
If you care to know you will find that in the Holy Qur'an at about eighty places the opinion of the majority has been condemned. It says:
If you obey most of the people in the land they will lead you astray from Allah's path for they only follow their own conjectures and preach falsehood.
(Surah al-An'am, 6:117)
"The most perfect of the believers is the best of you in character, and the best of you are those among you who are best to their wives."
(Hadith - Tirmidhi)
Clearly, there is no such thing as the Malay is the most righteous to govern any nation in this world.
