The Home Ministry in Putrajaya, a city in Malaysia, just south of Kuala Lumpur, has banned six publications “because their contents may be detrimental to public order, morality and the public interest.”
To be more explicit: the publications were deemed to be “contrary to Islam’s Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah (Sunni) teachings.” They contain “elements promoting liberalism that can cause confusion among readers, especially Muslims.” Muslims must not stain themselves with liberalism; they dare not educate themselves at will (especially women) and make their own moral decisions. The state clerics must do it for them.
This illustrates the nature of political Islam in traditional Islamic teachings. Authorities impose Islamic teachings and religious obedience upon their people. There is no room for pluralism, discussion, debate, scrutiny, and worst of all, for criticism of Islam. And this authoritarianism has not remained in Putrajaya and other Sharia-compliant areas of the world. Now this Sharia-compliance is coming to the West by means of mass Muslim migration.
“6 publications banned because they confuse Muslims and threaten public order”, by Fairuz Mohd Shahar, New Straits Times, April 25, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
PUTRAJAYA: The Home Ministry has gazetted a prohibition order on six publications because their contents may be detrimental to public order, morality and the public interest.
The ministry’s secretary-general Datuk Seri Alwi Ibrahim said the order was issued through four government gazettes dated April 24 – PU(A)106, PU(A)107, PU(A)108 and PU(A)109.
He said the prohibition was issued under Section 7(1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 (Act 301).
“This order outlines that the printing, import, production, reproduction, publication, sale, distribution, issuance, circulation, distribution or possession of the publications are strictly prohibited in Malaysia,” he said in a statement, today.
“The publications include Islam dan Teologi Pembebasan; The Road to Muhammad; and Mutiara Sastera Ali: Edisi Surat & Aforisme as they are deemed to contain elements that cause confusion among the people and are contrary to Islam’s Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah (Sunni) teachings.
“Another publication entitled Mengenal Allah Melalui Agama-Agama Purba: Gautama Buddha Seorang Nabi? has to be banned as its contents are contrary to Islamic akidah and teachings, and it contains elements promoting liberalism that can cause confusion among readers, especially Muslims.”
Alwi said the other two publications entitled Confessions: A Secret Diary and Hidden Agendas were found to contain pornography and sexual stories that were not compatible with the norms of Malaysian life.
“Any individual who prints, imports, produces, reproduces, publishes, sells, circulates, offers to sell, distributes or has a banned publication is committing an offence under Section 8 (2) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984.
“If convicted, they can be jailed for not more than three years….

I hate to say this but on first blush it seems very consistent with what we are seeing in North America and Europe!! Ban freedom of thought and freedom of expression so that all fall in line with the group think offered by the left since they know whats best for everyone.

Is one of the publications….. a LIST OF GOD’S 10 COMMANDMENTS..you know the ones allah DISAGREES with in his koran?
Or a page with the 2 chief commandments:given that,unlike in Judaism and Christianity,islam’s allah COMPLETELY MISSED them.
Surely that would cause in the islamic world.
“What’s this?There are LAWS OF GOD that we are supposed to obey/Who knew??”
Just imagine the riots if we told them that Moses and Elijah and Jesus Christ were… ALL JEWS!
(yes that’s right…the people allah says in k2v 65 are “apes,to be despised and hated”)

They make it very clear to you when you land in that country, you see stickers with a crossed marijuana leaf and a rifle. A very moderate country, of course.
FYI says
I mean,a list of commandments would certainly confuse muslims….especially given that allah doesn’t agree with them in his perfect koran ..and apparently the mass-murdering,polygamous,slave-trading muhammed completely missed them …
No murdering infidels,no stealing via a jizya tax,
no enslaving women “what the right hand possesses” adultery,no bearing false witness(no taqqiya,kitman,tawriya,kitman),having to love their neighboring Jews and Christians..
islam nations would implode…
Eur says
In Islamic societies there is no theological concept of neighbor. In Christianity (not in Christian majority societies … I mean Christianity) the neighbor is any human being, we are all the same. Christianity ceased to be a sect of Judaism when it was decided to preach the gospel not only among the Jews … all human beings are equal. For Islam there is no concept of equality between human beings, there is only equality between Muslims. Judaism also has that closed, exclusive and supremacist conception but in Islam it is very marked and developed.
mortimer says
There it is! Malaysia is cracking down on anyone who promotes “LIBERALISM”.
How can self-declared “LIBERALS” support and promote Islam in the West, when Islam so clearly is attempting to CRUSH LIBERALISM?
This does not compute.
The “LEFTARDS” are intellectually dishonest to the point of being entirely contradictory.
Why do “LEFTARDS” promote an ideology (Islam) that calls for their COMPLETE AND UTTER DESTRUCTION and the destruction of human rights, civil liberties and other “LIBERAL” ideas like free speech?
Why are the “LEFTARDS” running like lemmings into the sea?
Ren says
Islam does not allow freedom in any sort. Muslims are slaves of Allah and they like it.
john spielman says
yup, like islam or DIE!
Eur says
They like to enjoy the freedoms that democratic and free societies offer in order to establish a controlled, theocratic and totalitarian society. Muslims are happy to make humanity unhappy.
JM says
If Islam has always existed, and all other religions are corrupted or otherwise false, then why should Muslims be so easily confused? I’m confused.

Yes–Islam is brutal but fragile.
somehistory says
By “confusing” they mean enlightening, which of course, those not wishing to be so, would riot and kill just for the lust of it.
A friend who lives in Indonesia said she could give Bibles to Christians and other non-moslims, but it is unlawful to give a Bible to moslims. This is for the same reason these books are being banned…for the fact some moslims might read and learn the truth about their religion.

Many muslims seem more than a tad confused already ….
A big problem for the muslim world is that many muslims don’t understand that reading books that doesn’t just support the one and only view you already have (Type: “Allah is great, all I need to know”) does not lead to ‘confusion’. Rather, the correct term to apply is ‘opening yourself up to different points of view’.
The islamic world have major problems understanding this concept. After all their holy book tells them, in no uncertain terms, that no muslim must dare venture into the realm of doubt and counter-arguments. Damnation awaits, no grey area, for all the souls who actually start to do what is generally designated ‘thinking’. If you ever wondered why the muslim world is lagging behind the rest of the world, and what the cause may be, this is it.
Garfield says
Fanatics in a perverted death cult don’t need facts or information. They need isolation and sick ritualistic violence. So yeah, the cult of Islam functions very well as the evil hell hole it is.
Steve says
Very true. However also factor in the inbreeding and you get a picture of a Muslim. Generations of inbreeding (because Muhammad did it first) has led to genetic problems in the Muslim world. The precedent for consanguineous marriage comes from the Qur’an itself. Following his military conquests, the prophet Muhammad famously married his cherished daughter Fatimah to his cousin Ali, an act that was shown to be a great honor”.. Countries like Saudi Arabia are now warning their citizens of the problems of consanguineous marriages and I understand are pushing to test unborn children. In the United Kingdom, the BBC’s research, for example, found that that while British Pakistani Muslims accounted for roughly 3.4% of all births, “they had 30% of all British children with recessive disorders and a higher rate of infant mortality.” Could this have also affected the ability of Muslims to think and their propensity and openness to violence?

BOOK BANNING HAS BEGUN , LETS START WITH THE QURAN .
Steve says
In Malaysia, the constitution states that every Malay MUST be a Muslim. You cannot be any other religion and enjoy the advantages the Muslims have given to themselves. It is called the “bumiputra” system. Muslims get preferential entry to prized courses in their universities, good government jobs and promotions, housing privileges, scholarships paid for by the government etc. Now if you decide to avoid the oppression in the government and go into private business to earn a living, you as a non Muslim MUST have a Muslim silent partner who enjoys all the fruits of your labour without having to contribute equally to the business. Look up dhimmi/zimmi whereby Muslims by right in their religion harness non Muslims to work for them. It is an extremely oppressive system. Whenever a Muslim tells you how wonderful the dhimmi system is, and they often do, offer to exchange the status of a dhimmi with them. They can be the dhimmi and you the master. That shuts them up immediately. Guys, if we don’t wake up to the threat of Islam, we’re doomed.
katherine says
Wonder if Steve understands the Sanskrit derivative in the compound word ‘ bumiputra ‘ (earth-princes) .
Translated, it means Princes of the Soil – but to the local non-Muslim population pissed off with this blatant excuse for rampant Apartheid it is generally regarded as ‘ Princes of the Night-Soil ‘.
