Malaysia Struggles to Stop People Joining Jihad 马来西亚力阻公民加入圣战

KUALA LUMPUR— 

Malaysian police have arrested three men at Kuala Lumpur International Airport they believe were headed to the Middle East to join Islamist militants² in Syria. Authorities say militant¹ groups like the so-called Islamic State have used social media to entice³ at least three dozen Malaysian Muslims to fight in what they call "jihad" in Syria and Iraq. Counterterrorism police say they are deeply worried about what could happen when these militants return home.

吉隆坡— 马来西亚警察在吉隆坡国际机场逮捕了三名疑似准备前往叙利亚加入伊斯兰激进组织的人员。当局说，例如“伊斯兰国”这样的激进组织已经利用社交媒体引诱至少30多名马来西亚穆斯林加入了在叙利亚和伊拉克的所谓“圣战”。VOA记者拉姆克里斯南从吉隆坡报道说，反恐警察对这些激进分子回国之后可能做出的事情深感担忧。

This 45-year-old religious scholar, Lotfi Ariffin, had thousands of Malaysian followers⁴ on Facebook, plus fan pages dedicated⁵ to following his exploits. It was on Facebook that people first learned he had been killed in combat.  

这位45岁的宗教学者卢特菲.阿里芬（Lotfi Ariffin）在Facebook上有数千名马来西亚追随者，还有粉丝专页用来跟踪报道他的功绩。也是在Facebook上，人们首先得知他阵亡的消息。

In Iraq, another Malaysian blew himself up, killing⁶ 25 policemen.

在伊拉克，另一名马来西亚人引爆自尽，炸死25名警察。

Since early last year, Malaysian authorities have been trying to stop people from joining groups like the Islamic State. Police counter-terrorism unit deputy director Ayob Khan said he worried about more than the harm they can cause in Syria and Iraq.

自去年年初，马来西亚当局就在试图阻止其公民加入像“伊斯兰国”这样的组织。警方反恐部门副主任阿尤布.可汗（Ayob Khan）说，他担心的不仅仅是这些人能在叙利亚和伊拉克造成的伤害。

“They also planning to carry out attacks in Malaysia against the Malaysian government, because for them Malaysia is not an Islamic government, it is OK to topple Malaysia through armed struggle," said Khan. "So that is the main objective, the same objective that what has been preached by the Islamic State.”

“他们也在策划在马来西亚实施针对马来西亚政府的袭击，因为在他们看来，马来西亚政府不是伊斯兰政府，应该通过武装斗争来推翻。所以这是他们的主要目标，这也是‘伊斯兰国’组织所鼓吹的目标。”

Earlier this year, Malaysian police arrested several people intending to join up with the Islamic State and who had also talked about attacking targets like nightclubs in Malaysia. 

今年早些时候，马来西亚警察逮捕了几个人，他们试图加入“伊斯兰国”组织，并且谈论过要在马来西亚袭击像夜店这样的目标。

Last week, they nabbed another three people as they prepared to head to Syria.

上周，他们逮捕了另外三名正准备前往叙利亚的人。

Jufitri Joha of the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia said his group is trying to help convince young Muslims not to join the so-called "jihad."

马来西亚穆斯林青年运动的约哈（Jufitri Joha）说，他的组织正在试图劝说年轻的穆斯林不要加入所谓的“圣战”。

“We stress that this is not your priority, your priority if you want to help them, you should join the humanitarian⁷ mission sending food, aid, release the pain suffered by the refugees, by the internally displaced people that is your priority,” he said.

“我们强调说，这不是你的首要任务，如果你想要帮助他们，你的首要任务应该是加入人道主义行动，送去食物、援助、减轻难民和流离失所的人们所遭受的痛苦，这才是你的首要任务。”

Joha said young Muslims here are attracted by the name, and concept of, the Islamic state. But police say the would-be jihadists also are keen to fight against the Shia, seeing them as heretics and therefore legitimate⁸ targets.

约哈说，马来西亚的年轻穆斯林被“伊斯兰国”组织的名称和理念所吸引。但是警方认为，这些潜在的圣战分子也渴望与什叶派作战，他们将什叶派看作异教徒，因而也就是合理的袭击对象。

Malaysian political scientist Chandra Muzaffar said authorities in this Sunni Muslim country share the blame for fueling such sectarian thinking.

马来西亚政治学者钱德拉.穆扎法尔（Chandra Muzaffar）说，这个逊尼派穆斯林国家的权力当局，对助长这种教派观念负有责任。

“It is obvious that there is a strong anti-Shia element in religious propaganda in Malaysia and this [is] emanating⁹ from the religious establishment, from certain elements in political parties, from NGOs, from various other groups,” said Muzaffar.

他说，“显然，在马来西亚的宗教宣传中有很强的反叶什派因素，这种宣传来自伊斯兰教会、政党中的某些人士、非政府组织和其他各种团体。”

Police say they are closely monitoring social media, which they say are the militants’ main recruiting ground.   

 警察表示，他们正在密切监视社交媒体。他们认为社交媒体是激进组织的主要招募平台。

Aside from trying to stop Malaysians from linking up with groups like Islamic State, police say that if any of them return, they will be arrested immediately.

警察说，除了试图阻止马来西亚人同“伊斯兰国”这样的组织联系，如果任何同这些组织有联系的人回到马来西亚，他们将立即逮捕。
