Curses, the plot is exposed! This kind of paranoia only fosters the us vs. them mentality that ultimately feeds into the jihad imperative. Conspiracy Paranoia Update from modern, moderate Malaysia: “Halloween a ploy to make Muslims godless, says Isma,” by Syed Jaymal Zahiid, Malay Mail Online, October 25, 2014:
BANGI, Oct 25 — Halloween celebrations are organised by non-Muslims worldwide to shake the faith of Muslims and turn them godless, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) alleged today.
Its president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman said it was likely that atheists were behind the events, claiming further that Halloween celebrations were also intended to spread atheism.
“We notice that such events are held to test moral limits or religion, and they are usually done by groups which are not religion-based — they are usually organised by non-Muslims.
“What they are doing is promoting something that is anti-religion. Maybe it is done by atheists who want to shake one’s faith,” Zaik told a press conference here.
Isma ulama council chief Aznan Hasan also suggested that Halloween celebrations may be a concerted effort to weaken Muslim faith.
“If it’s an isolated event, then it signals the poor understanding of Islam among Muslims, but what concerns me more is that if they are a form of planned attack (on Islam),” he told the same press conference.
Aznan also said such events were intended to make Muslim Malays “forget who they are” as celebrations like Oktoberfest and Halloween are western constructs.
Zaik had made a similar accusation against the organiser of the Oktoberfest beer festival earlier this month.
This was echoed by other hardline Muslim groups, as well as conservative leaders from PAS, the Islamist party in federal opposition pact[.]
Isma’s detractors, however, argued that the Malaysians have long participated in such celebrations, and that there is no data to suggest that such events have led to Muslims abandoning their faith.
Commenting on this, Zaik insisted that the Oktoberfest and Halloween celebrations were done to instil atheistic values and that they were designed to encourage Muslims to question the teachings of Islam.
“It is a process. It is not just today. The reasons why they (non-Muslims and liberals) dare to question (the position of Islam and the Malays) is the culmination of such events,” Zaik said.
The coming Halloween festival came to the attention of several conservative Muslim groups after banners promoting the annual event were put up at an international school in Seremban….

“What they are doing is promoting something that is anti-religion.”
Islam is anti-religion.
“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him;” (Koran 3:85, part of Islamic law).

I think this guy must have seen some trick-or-treaters dressed as ISIS militiamen carrying paper-mache heads on strings. That’s very popular in my neighborhood, especially among apostate families and scoffing blasphemers.
Dennis says
I think the confusion comes about after seeing a bunch of black-clad, face-covered muslimas with shopping bags.

One thing Islam causes is a virus in the brain!! Idiots. M
auckland says
What kind of faith would one have to follow, and what kinds of beliefs would one have to hold, to have one’s belief shaken and faith undermined by something that has nothing to do with either?
mariam rove says
Islam!m

These people are clearly insane.

Too bad there’s not a mental hospital that can accommodate 1.6 billion patients.

Sure — and who’s taxes will go to support them? Do not give the 12th Imam (Mahdi) in the WH any more ideas!
Keith says
Our taxes of course, what difference will it make, we seem to be supporting most of them now so a few million more wont make a lot of difference.
deja vu says
Well, if they can believe that petting dogs brings about typhoons, anything’s possible. The solution? Death to the man who organised the event and death to the dogs.
Islam is a death cult – they admit they love death as we love life.
Budvarakbar says
One of the main benefits of Halloween is that it provides a yearly reminder that evil and the underworld exists — that is what really freaks the fraudulent ‘religion’ of SATAN!
gerard says
That’s an interesting point Budvarakbar . I was wondering why Muslims would be bothered by Halloween. The word comes from Hallows (Saints) Eve. The Eve of All Saints. Small wonder that the Devil/Allah gets on edge on the eve of such a great day that reminds him of his defeat. His puppets, Muslims, don’t like this day either it would seem.
Only a twisted mind could link All Saints Eve and atheism!
Coolio says
It’s a pretty weak faith that’s destroyed by duck apples, kids dressing up as witches and sweets. God help them if Channel 4 ever does an islumic version of Father Ted. Can you imagine it? Some god-forsaken desert in saudi arabia with the three outcast imans: Iman Mohammed, thrown into exile for spending the mosque collection on trips to Las Vegas, Iman Al-Drunk, forever shouting ‘Feck’ and downing bottles of Scotch, Iman Azif, simple, and not quite sure if allah exists…
Lou Bator says
Who is Father Ted?
Mirren10 says
”Who is Father Ted?”
It’s a British comedy programme about 3 RC priests.
St. Michael Defend Us says
Yes, but the show wouldn’t be funny at all, and would have a very short run. The Father Ted figure would kill Father Jack for drinking, then would kill Dougal for his lack of faith. Then he would have to kill Mrs. Doyle and half the women in town for fooling around with the milkman. Then he would be raping little girls. Who would watch such a show? Maybe it could go into syndication in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan or somewhere.
Bezelel says
I wonder (not really) what he thinks about Mexico celebrating the Day of the Dead. Maybe the thought that muslims might be haunted by their victims is spooky.
PS. BOO!!!!!

“Halloween a ploy by non-Muslims to turn Muslims godless”
A godless person is far better than a follower of a blood-thirsty “god”.
Ex-Muslims turning godless:

katarzyna says
allah is a pagan moon(crescent) god – Zaik should get wolf’s costume and bay at the moon on Halloween. join in the fun and energize your faith.
Budvarakbar says
What’s the wolf costume for? Wha’-ddayah got against wolves?
Blangwort says
Halloween is a normal day for people whose lives are sheer horror every day. He’s right. We DO seek to convert their religion to something more civilized.
I won’t sugar coat it. They’re living in spiritual squalor and they are upset that we might point this out.
Grow Up, Mr. Rahman.
Anne Morgan says
How stupid is this bloke? It’s just a fun time to be had by all! If you don’t like it, you don’t have to ! This idiot thinks its about Islam! Paranoid fool! He can shove his “non-Muslim ” claptrap too! I’m a Christian and a very proud Australian! What twats these fools are!!
Bezelel says
Thank you for the LOL
Richie says
Just wait- Halloween and trick or treating will be banned all over the US because Muslims might take offense. Muslims might take this as an opportunity to murder children on Halloween night- then cry victim.
Dave J says
Muslims (or at least their spokespersons): Weak minded sissified crybabies. Wah wah, grow up you pathetic little bullies!
Psychopaths always think it’s all about them.
Budvarakbar says
You do realize that you just described the current POTUS?

Beatrix says
Since the original Oktoberfest takes place in Munich, and being Bavaria what it is, I do not see how a local version of the Oktoberfest will make you godless. It might make you a bit overweight, that I recognize.
joeyinwo says
Halloweem has nothing to do with Islam. Not even a thought. He didn’t have anything else to cry about.
