kuala-lumpurThe Islamic State continues to demonstrate its global appeal for Muslims, while non-Muslim authorities continue to insist that it has nothing to do with Islam. “Malaysia: 17 arrested on suspicion of plotting terror attacks in Kuala Lumpur,” OneIndia, April 6, 2015:

Seventeen people, including two who returned from Syria recently, were arrested in the capital of Malaysia on Sunday on suspicion of plotting terror attacks , official sources said.

National police chief Abu Bakar confirmed the news on social networking site Twitter. No other details about the arrested could, however, be received, said an AFP report.

Malaysian police authorities said 120 people were arrested in January for having suspected links with the Islamic State and detained many who sought to travel to Syria and Iraq where the IS have exerted influence.

Authorities in Malaysia, which follows moderate Islam, have expressed concern over the theat [sic] of Muslim militancy in the wake of the IS’s blood-spilling jihad in Syria and Iraq. …

    Only seventeen signed up? Ten times that number of Baptists and Mormans are signing up to ISIS on a daily basis. Not to mention the Jehovahs Witnesses and the Methodists who are all flocking over to join ISIS and behead ‘unbelievers’. What about the members of the local Country Womens Association and also members of the Australian Society for Collecting Postal Stationery….they are joining in droves.

    Moderate Islam has been strongest on the western side of Peninsular Malaysia and in Sarawak Borneo. The primary reason for this is that non Muslims comprise a large part of the community in those states. On the eastern side of the peninsula, most notably in the state of Kota Baru, non Muslims are in much smaller numbers and a determined political push is currently underway to make Sharia Law binding. Only wishful thinking can ignore the link between the political agendas brewing in the east and the puritanical agenda of the Islamic State Caliphate that has infiltrated Malaysia. When the first hands are amputated in Kota Baru or when the first people are executed for sodomy, everyone will know that Malaysia has ceased to be a country where a form of moderate Islam is practiced.

      Moderte Islam is an oxymoron. There is no such thing. It may be that some muslims try to avoid applyng jihad, but they are not good muslims.

    “The Islamic State continues to demonstrate its global appeal for Muslims, while non-Muslim authorities continue to insist that it has nothing to do with Islam.”

    Indeed. Those ‘authorities’, who speak without knowledge of Islam, expect us to take their word because they are elected or appointed officials, rather than experts who studied Islam over a period of decades.

    Young jihadists actually come out of ISLAMIC STUDY GROUPS that teach about the individual duty of JIHAD that is incumbent on all Muslims.

    It is ISLAMIC STUDY GROUPS that should be the focus of the intelligence communities.

    Malaysia is NOT a MODERATE Islamic country as wrongly assumed by Western media.
