“According to the Selangor Mosque and Surau Guideline 2010, non-Muslims are not allowed to step into the prayer area of a mosque or surau in the state to hold any activity.” An interesting exercise of Islamic supremacism in “moderate” Malaysia.
“Selayang mosque chairman faces the axe for inviting non-Muslim MP into prayer hall,” by Jamilah Kamarudin, Malay Mail Online, July 1, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
KUALA LUMPUR, July 1 ― The chairman of a Selayang mosque will lose his job for allowing the constituency’s MP, a non-Muslim, enter into its prayer hall recently.
Selangor Islamic Religious Department director Datuk Haris Kasim confirmed the decision with ProjekMMO, Malay Mail Online’s sister publication in Bahasa Malaysia, after the state Ruler’s decree yesterday for the mosque guardian (nazir) to be sacked following Selayang MP William Leong Jee Keen’s visit during a breaking of fast event.
“His Royal Highness decreed dismissal… in the text of his speech during the Ramadan programme at the johan setia mosque yesterday evening.
“Tomorrow I will call the nazir to convey His Royal Highness’ decree,” Haris said in a WhatsApp text message last night when contacted.
However, he said he was uncertain of the identity of the Selayang mosque guardian and would need to find out, adding that he would also need to discuss the job termination procedures with the nazir.
The post of nazir is held by the mosque chairman who is responsible for the daily running of the Islamic place of worship. The position is appointed by the state Islamic council.
Last Saturday, Leong was reportedly invited to enter the mosque’s prayer hall to deliver a speech and hand out donations.
However, the action reportedly resulted in dissatisfaction as some were angry that the PKR lawmaker who is Chinese and a non-Muslim was allowed into the mosque and made a speech.
Leong has since denied he delivered a political speech within the inner sanctum of the place of worship, and said he only wished the congregation “Selamat berpuasa” and “Selamat berbuka”.
According to the Selangor Mosque and Surau Guideline 2010, non-Muslims are not allowed to step into the prayer area of a mosque or surau in the state to hold any activity.
Such individuals, according to the guideline, can be charged under Section 12 of the Selangor Syariah Criminal Enactment 1995 and can be fined not more than RM3,000 or jailed not more than two years or both.
Yesterday, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah reiterated that a mosque is not a venue for political programmes.
“What is even more disappointing is that the politician is not a Muslim and this clearly shows that the mosque has been misused for the benefit of the politician.
“I view this matter seriously and urge the Selangor Islamic Religious Department to look into this, investigate and take relevant action against those involved in this case,” the state monarch said after officiating a function at Masjid Kampung Johan Setia in Klang….

If the non-Muslim had tried to use the mosque as a venue for an election event I could understand. But as an elected official he acts on behalf of all of the constituents whether they personally voted for him, or not.
Shows the gulf that exists.
Voytek Gagalka says
Is it not following normal Mohammedan practice? After all, non-Muslims are already absolutely forbidden to enter Mecca and Medina.

“Moderate” Malaysia: Mosque official fired for allowing non-Muslim into prayer hall
…………………….
If Malaysia wasn’t so “moderate” they would have just murdered the Infidel…

This would be almost comical if it weren’t so paranoid. There seems to be NO way to communicate with muslims except on their terms.

Because they will take up space reserved for weapons and ammunition . . .

And yet christian leaders everywhere just can’t stop inviting muslims into their churches for interfaith welcomings, some leaders going so far as to allow muslims to pray to allah while shielding their eyes from the cross and praying on mats in the direction of mecca, some leaders even removing crosses and statues from their churches while hosting muslim refugees. This unreciprocated one-sided religious tolerance and christian bending over backwards in an effort to make muslims feel welcome deserves to be thrown into the garbage bin with all the other wasted past attempts at muslim appeasement. Just a waste of precious time that the west needs so badly before it is outnumbered demographically.

“Selamat berpuasa” = Happy Fasting
“Selamat berbuka” = Happy Breaking the Fast
Because Leong is not a Muslim it’s highly unlikely that he gave a political speech at a mosque. In Indonesia non-Muslims are not allowed in the prayer area of the mosque either. The Muslims believe that the mosque will be defiled if infidels enter the prayer area. Muslim women and teen girls who are having their periods are not allowed in the mosque either for fear of defiling it.
خَليفة says
So Muslim women are just one notch above the filthy kuffar.
I can see the Muslims feeling so superior about having “the truth”, but this type of incident just shows how utterly backward Islam really is – Muslim behavior is like something the queen of hearts from Alice in wonderland would do – and we in the rest of the civilized world look at Malaysia and laugh. Incidentally Malaysia as a federation has only existed since 1963, and it has been cotinually getting more retarded since then.

Translation: this had nothing to do with politics.

Comedians one and all.
Florida Jim says
Doesn’t belief in Sharia, Jihad, Taqiyya, Dhimmitude, Beheading, rapes of boys , girls and enemies, hating infidels all disqualify anyone from immigrating anywhere? MUslims will not assimilate anywhere they wait to begin the assault and take-over I believe. Please correct me if I am wrong. thank you, I love yourwork. James Poulsen

A long time ago there was a time when Malaysia was never Moslem. I fear I must show my ignorance and state just how recently Malaysia became Muslim but like every where Moslems go either convert or die and then they become the majority.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Haha superstitious ignoramuses! Shows what THEY know LOL!
According to real sharia, YES infidels are allowed into the mosques,
because mosques have historically been the seats of government.
(Where else would an infidel go to pay his jizya extortion fines etc?)!
😉
GeorgeRomero says
I think the objector Datuk Haris Kasim may be a racist, as he has excluded a non muslim from entering the moske, and he may be also suffering from an affliction called Infidelphobia which can cause huge amounts of suffering and blood loss by non islamists by the hand of the believers.Happy ramadan bang bang!
