In Malaysia, Islam is the official religion of the state. That means that it’s funded by the taxpayers. And the non Muslim taxpayers are, of course, taxed more heavily than the Believers in a disguised jizyah system known as the “Bumiputra system”.
There is a great sense of irony knowing that mosque, surau and madrassah construction, as well as other Islamic affairs, are subsidized through the (excessive) taxation of the more entrepreneurial Chinese, non Muslims, and their various enterprises. Those enterprises include, but are not limited to:
- Massage parlours (which often function as de facto brothels)
- Karaoke bars (with alcohol, music with sexually explicit lyrics, and sometimes much more)
- Chinese restaurants (serving pork, other ‘non halal’ food, and alcohol)
In Malaysia, the infidel-owned and frequented dens of ‘vice and sin’ continue to financially power the Islamic juggernaut. Malaysian Muslims, especially those within the government, (usually) know better than to try to directly do away with such establishments, as such concerns make up the host that the local branch of Islam leaches upon. Killing the host would naturally have undesirable effects upon the believers. Without infidels to feed upon, Islam and Muslims — in Malaysia or anywhere else — have no chance of continued survival.
So it should be little surprise that the Muslim government in Malaysia has decided to step up its state-sponsored da’wah-related indoctrination and brainwashing efforts, as long as the infidels are around to foot the bill. Even if this eventually reduces the very source of all this money in the first place, by creating more Believers and reducing the number of dhimmis that can be excessively taxed. “RM15mil house for Muslim converts”, from The Star, 6 July:
KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territory of Islamic Religious Council will build a house for Muslim converts so they can learn more about Islam.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom said the house, the first of its kind in Malaysia, would be used to guide converts towards strengthening their character.
“We will provide them a syllabus on obligatory prayers, reading the Quran and expose them to fasting,” he said here yesterday.
Jamil said the house costing RM15mil [USD$5 million] would be built in Sentul and was expected to be completed within two years. – Bernama
