This is the kind of thing we will see in the U.S. in the not-too-distant future if the current trend of ascribing all counter-terror efforts and criticism of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism to “Islamophobia” and “hatred” continues. Prosecutions for “hate speech,” i.e. opposing jihad terror, are the next step.
“Action urged over David Orok’s alleged insult to Islam,” Bernama, July 6, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):
KOTA KINABALU: Authorities have been urged to take firm action against David Orok for insulting Islam and the Prophet Muhammad in a post on his Facebook page recently.
Beaufort MP Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun, who is also Wanita Sabah Islamic Organisation (Usia) chief, said insulting the prophet could trigger hatred and anger among the people in Sabah and Malaysia in general.
“In Sabah, there are over 30 ethnic groups professing different religions. A family may consist of members of various religions but they live in peace and harmony,” she said in a statement.
Azizah said the statement by Orok could divide the people or destroy the harmony of communities in Sabah.
Orok, a State Reform Party (Star) member, courted controversy by allegedly insulting Islam and Prophet Muhammad on his Facebook page recently.
Meanwhile, Sepanggar Umno Youth chief Ramlan Awal gave Orok seven days to explain his post and a make public apology for hurting the feelings of Muslims.
He said the Sepanggar Umno Youth division had also made a police report against Orok.
Another police report was lodged by the Coalition of Sabah Muslim NGOs Council (Concerns) against Orok on Saturday. – Bernama

If this was to happen in America, it will not last long. As time goes on, more Americans are getting angier, as proof, just take a look with what has been going on as of last with the southern border areas of the USA. Also Americans have been ARMING themselves to the teeth bigtime over the last few years now. No, such laws in regards to the Muslims will not last long.

“Insulting” Islam= “Telling the truth about” Islam.
If the truth “triggers hatred and anger”, how weak is the basis of that belief.
Islam continues to collapse:

Islam is working its wonders on Malaysia, turning it into a place that no thinking person would want to go or do business with. Boycott Malaysia.

Malaysia is a hole. It appears nice, peaceful and modern to outsiders and is sold as such to foreigners, but in reality a truly repressive place to be in – just like brunei, indonesia or any islamic country.
John Haller says
Surely your remark should be in the past tense. The intensification of Islam began in the Mahatir era. Women ceased to dress like the ethnic Javanese they really are (think Balinese traditional dress) to the covered up “full camel ” look 30 years ago. The supposed 2020 initiatives to bring Malaysia into the first world will never happen because all the Sultans, Datuks and all their relations receive large stipends sit on top of the economy without contribution. The so called ordinary Bumi Putra Malay Muslims get the rest of the cake. The real money makers and business heads, The ethnic Chinese and to a lesser extent the ethnic Indians, run all the businesses and are thanked by being treated like third class citizens(Dhimmies) they get the crumbs. ANY and ALL listed companies Must Have a Muslim Malay CEO. A recipe for slow but certain atrophy.

I give Ramlan Awal seven days to explain to me why his stinking Mohammedan manifesto says that unbelievers are “the vilest of animals”, which insults me and all the people I know. (Quran 8:55).

As long as no one in those families says anything about islam. Am i right? No, wait, i can be wrong – those multi-religious families very likely don’t have any muslims in it. At least no orthodox muslims because, as quran 60:4 states:
“There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, “Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah . We have denied you, and there has appeared between us and you animosity and hatred forever until you believe in Allah alone”“
