Wait, I thought Islam is the perfect religion--Muslims never ever tire of saying so--and pious Muslims are unshakeable in their faith. Muslims endlessly hawk that supposed fact also. Except when they aren't, apparently. Muslims, as it turns out, are enormously susceptible to jumping the ship of Islam if given the slightest opportunity. At least that's what Hasan Ali is telling anyone who will listen; Christian 'treachery' knows no limits, apparently. From 'Hasan Ali: Christians going undercover to convert Muslims', The Malaysian Insider, 28 January 2012:
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 28 — Former Selangor Islamic affairs executive councillor Datuk Hasan Ali claimed today Christian ministers have resorted to handing out electronic gadgets and wearing kopiah (skullcaps) to mosques in their efforts to convert Muslims.
The Gombak Setia assemblyman, who was sacked from PAS and the state government earlier this month, told an anti-apostasy rally in Kepala Batas, Penang that Muslims in the country were vulnerable to these methods due to their lack of faith.
He said that when he was Selangor executive councillor, he received at least 60 reports of apostasy including how Muslims were enticed with money and given gifts of laptop computers, cameras, cars, monthly food provisions and gadgets like solar-powered bibles.
“There were reports of foreign Christian ministers wearing Muslim skullcaps and attending prayers at a certain mosque in Petaling Jaya to establish a communal relationship with Muslims before converting them.
“I was told these international Christian groups have unlimited funds,” he told a crowd of about 2,000, a tenth of Himpunan Sejuta Umat’s (Himpun) targeted 20,000 attendess.
Unlimited funds? How underhanded and dastardly!
The coalition of Muslim NGOs has organised several such gatherings in response to the “challenge of Christianisation”.
Himpun was mooted following last year’s controversial August 3 raid by Selangor Islamic authorities on the Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) in Petaling Jaya, where it was alleged that Christians were converting Muslims.
Hasan had backed the raid and said there “could be hundreds, maybe even thousands” of cases of Muslims being converted by Christians.
You can probably see where this is going. More energetic crackdowns and more oppression against not just Christians, but anything unIslamic, is what Hasan Ali and his cohorts are agitating for. Via hysteria and paranoia, we find that these Believers readily justify tyranny of the Islamic kind indefinitely.Last November, the former Selangor PAS chief told the Selangor Legislative Assembly that evangelical Christians are using high-tech devices such as solar-powered talking bibles to proselytise Muslims in the state.
Would any Muslim apologists or spokespersons care to show how Hasan Ali has got the Noble Religion of Peace, Moderation, etc. etc. all wrong? Anyone?
Rumor mongering and conspiracy theorists.
Just to prove how awful Christianity is, why doesn't Hasan Ali recommend Muslims to try Christianity for a couple of days, or a couple of weeks, or a couple of years, even. :)
But there's no way of knowing how many Muslims would want to return to their shackles once they'd tasted freedom!
Hasan Ali's a clown!
In a toe to toe competition between the forces of light and truth and life and righteousness of God (the Gospel of Jesus) and that of darkness lies death and demons, I choose the former and scorn the latter! In fact the only way Islam can compete with Christianity is throiugh terror and violence to intimidate those to stay in the hell bound religion of death.
The “challenge of Christianisation” is there to stay, and they can do absolutely nothing about it. The same pattern in the arab world. As one prominent sheikh put it:
"This Christianisation movement is too big to be dealt with, even by all arab countries combined" (Sheikh al-Qataani)

"...due to their lack of faith?"

Wait a minute. I must be misunderstanding, since I was convinced that WE had it all wrong with regard to Islam - you know, "can't read classical Arabic", "out of context", "only Q'uran, no hadeeth", etc., ad nauseum.
Now the ex-islamo-politico tells his own bretheren that THEY"VE GOT IT ALL WRONG TOO?!

I think Mohammedists are nuts, by and large.
I've yet to meet one that I trusted completely, much less an ex-politician Mohammedist.
The fact that non-Muslims would have to go "undercover" in Malaysia to talk about or seek to persuade others of a religion -- is perhaps the most important fact in the story. It shows that Malaysia does not respect freedom of conscience and freedom of speech.
Pity this man, for he has an impossible task: if I was Muslim and had to choose between Jesus and Muhammed, I'd choose Jesus.

Yeah. And I think it's safe to say that Jesus was much, much closer to Gautama.
Ever heard of Rosicrucians, Kafir4Buddha?
