It would, you see, place Islam on the “same level” as other religions, and Islam must dominate, and not be dominated.
Hadi’s statement may appear puzzling. Islam is, as we all know, not a race. So why would ratifying the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination affect the status of Islam? In Malaysia, it is assumed that all Malays are Muslim, and that all Chinese are not, and one’s religion and one’s race are both integral parts of one’s identity that cannot be changed. Hadi wants to make sure that the Malays will still be able to discriminate against the Chinese, because otherwise, Islam would not be supreme.
“Hadi: Compulsory for Muslims to oppose ICERD,” by Helmy Abd Rahman, New Straits Times, November 20, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
KUALA TERENGGANU: Pas president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has slammed several Muslim personalities for openly supporting efforts to ratify the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD).
Hadi, who is also vice-president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, also said it was compulsory for Muslims to oppose ICERD as its ratification would place Islam on the “same level” as other religions in the country.
“Unfortunately, there are Muslims who don’t understand or pretend not to understand… they want to fight for equality by making Islam the same as other religions.
“We must oppose (ICERD) because it is compulsory for Muslims to say that Islam is correct. We can give rights to other religions but to say that other religions are the same as Islam is unacceptable.
“This is a line we cannot cross,” he said during a ceramah at Masjid Abidin on the eve of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday here last night….
“The Bumiputera Muslims are lagging behind. The (British) colonisers gave us poor learning facilities while the non-Muslims were placed in cities to control trade, industry, the ports and many more.
“To remove (our privileges) in our weak state in the name of equality is not right.”
Although Article 1(1) of ICERD does not place religion under the definition of racial discrimination, Article 5(d)(vii) guarantees the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

I saw this comment posted by Nymeria Wolf:
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it
on my back porch and filled it
with seed. What a beauty of
a bird feeder it was, as I filled it
lovingly with seed.
Within a week we had hundreds of birds
taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and
easily accessible food.
But then the birds started
building nests in the boards
of the patio, above the table,
and next to the barbecue.
Then came the crap. It was
everywhere: on the patio tile,
the chairs, the table …
everywhere!
Then some of the birds
turned mean. They would
dive bomb me and try to
peck me even though I had
fed them out of my own
pocket.
And other birds were
boisterous and loud. They
sat on the feeder and
squawked and screamed at
all hours of the day and night
and demanded that I fill it
when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn’t even
sit on my own back porch
anymore. So I took down the
bird feeder and in three days
the birds were gone. I cleaned
up their mess and took down
the many nests they had built
all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like
it used to be ….. quiet, serene….
and no one demanding their
rights to a free meal.
Now let’s see……
Our government gives out
free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care and free
education, and allows anyone
born here to be an automatic
citizen.
Then the illegals came by the
tens of thousands. Suddenly
our taxes went up to pay for
free services; small apartments
are housing 5 families; you
have to wait 6 hours to be seen
by an emergency room doctor;
Your child’s second grade class is
behind other schools because
over half the class doesn’t speak
English.
Corn Flakes now come in a
bilingual box; I have to
‘press one ‘ to hear my bank
talk to me in English, and
people waving flags other
than ”ours” are
squawking and screaming
in the streets, demanding
more rights and free liberties.
Just my opinion, but maybe
it’s time for the government
to take down the bird feeder.

Brilliant!
Guy Forester says
I worked with a person from Malaysia. I was told that if you own a business and need to hire help, at least half of them MUST be (muslim) Malays. Because of this, they are not productive and you cannot fire them or otherwise get rid of them. It is welfare for the ruling class.
gravenimage says
Yes, Guy–I have heard many similar stories from Malaysia and other parts of Dar-al-Islam. I know that in many places this is actually the law.
DHazard says
Islam is the only racial group you can join or leave. Joining it makes you superior to everyone else and leftists seem to agree, with their silence.
PBH says
Compulsory?
Umm…I thought there was no compulsion in Islam??
RodSerling says
When they are not addressing Western audiences, Muslim spokesmen in Muslim-majority countries tend to say things that undermine the apologetics used by Muslims in the West:
Hadi: “Unfortunately, there are Muslims who don’t understand or pretend not to understand”
Pretend not to understand? So they are practicing deception? Muslim apologists in the West routinely dismiss that idea (that some Muslims practice deception) as “Islamophobic”.
Hadi: “… they want to fight for equality by making Islam the same as other religions.”
He disagrees with that, whereas Muslim apologists in the West claim that Islam promotes equality of all people.
Hadi: “We must oppose (ICERD) because it is compulsory for Muslims to say that Islam is correct. We can give rights to other religions but to say that other religions are the same as Islam is unacceptable.”
Compulsory? Other religions are not the same as Islam? Muslim apologists in the West tell us that there is no compulsion in Islam, and that there is no need to worry about Islam because it is the same as any other religion.
RodSerling says
…and, oh yeah, there is that “moderate Malaysia” line you may have heard, refuted daily by actual Muslims in Malaysia, such as Hadi.
The Political Oracle says
kitmān is a word used to describe the actions US moderate muslims use to protect Islamic interests. The world is beginning to see how Islam is used to kill its victims. Look at Pakistan, a lapdog for religious extremist dogma. Now, it’s out there in the open! Islam grants religious rights like a governing body.
Wellington says
Just a variation on a theme. Traditionally, for many centuries (and still even to this day), Islam was used as a thinly-veiled excuse for Arab supremacism. The Malays have only done the same here to aid themselves.

Very true, Wellington.

The Koran teaches SUPREMACISM and DOMINANCE in K.61.9 … to become “SUPREME OVER, PREVAIL OVER, GAIN DOMINANCE OVER, VICTORIOUS OVER, CONQUEROR”.
– DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF “SUPREME” = highest in rank or authority; paramount; sovereign; chief.
Sahih International: It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to MANIFEST it OVER all religion, although those who associate others with Allah dislike it.Pickthall: He it is Who hath sent His messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that He may make it CONQUEROR of all religion however much idolaters may be averse.Yusuf Ali: It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it OVER ALL religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).Shakir: He it is Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion, that He may make it OVERCOME the religions, all of them, though the polytheists may be averse.Muhammad Sarwar: It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion to STAND SUPREME OVER all religions, even though the pagans may dislike it.Mohsin Khan: He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islamic Monotheism) to make it VICTORIOUS OVER all (other) religions even though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammed hate (it). Arberry: It is He who has sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, that he may UPLIFT it ABOVE EVERY religion, though the unbelievers be averse.Arabic: (61:9:8) liyu?’hirahu = to make it prevail or gain dominance?
QUOTE about Supremacy of Islam
– “The purpose for which the Muslims are required to fight is not, as one might to think, to compel the unbelievers into embracing Islam. Rather, its purpose is to put an end to the suzerainty of the unbelievers so that the latter are unable to rule over people. The AUTHORITY TO RULE should ONLY be vested in those who follow the True Faith; unbelievers who do not follow this True Faith should live in a state of SUBORDINATION. Anybody who becomes convinced of the Truth of Islam may accept the faith of his/her own volition. The unbelievers are required to pay jizyah (poll tax) in return for the security provided to them as the dhimmis (“Protected People”) of an Islamic state. Jizyah symbolizes the submission of the unbelievers to the SUZERAINTY OF ISLAM.” – Source: “Towards Understanding the Qur’an (The Islamic Foundation, 2008) by Sayyid Abul A‘la Mawdudi.

Malaysia: Muslim leader says it’s “compulsory” for Muslims to oppose convention against racial discrimination
………………………….
So much for the idea that there is no racism in Islam. There is Arab supremacism, which is rife in Islam, and racism against blacks in Africa. Then there is codified discrimination against non-Malays in Malaysia–the “Bumiputera System”.
More:
“The Bumiputera Muslims are lagging behind. The (British) colonisers gave us poor learning facilities while the non-Muslims were placed in cities to control trade, industry, the ports and many more.
………………………….
Even if this were true of colonial Malaysia, the country has been independent since 1963–for well over half a century.
Note that Muslim Malays–the Bumiputera Muslims–make up the majority in Malaysia–over 60% of the country. All the laws favor them, in business and education, and there are few non-Muslims in any significant roles in government.
And yet Malays still lag behind the persecuted Chinese, Indians, and Christians in many ways–they are less educated and less likely to do well in business, despite the deck being so heavily stacked in their favor.
What few dare notice, of course, is that it is Islam itself that is responsible for much of the problem–it despises non-Qur’anic learning and compares hard work–even educated work–as slavery. Then, while the Bumiputera system gives Muslims a leg up, it also teaches them that they can feel superior to Infidels without really trying, or actually having to accomplish anything on their own.
In addition, education and rates of employment for women lag behind those of non-Muslims there–again, largely because of the baleful effects of Islam’s deep misogyny.

But wait!
I thought..in islam,according to the koran..
“There is no compulsion in religion”
koran 2:256
Apart,that is, from Sahih Muslim bk 19:no 4294,where non-muslims must either choose one of 3 OPTIONS..
1 Convert to islam
2 Be forced to pay a Jizya Tax
3 Be killed
So we see that there is indeed “compulsion in religion”:in islam ,for muslims and for non-muslims.
Yet another FALSE statement in allah’s “perfect” book.
P. Douglas says
Islam is not on the same level with any other “Religion”.
And that’s because islam was founded NOT by a “Saint”, Prophet or even a Wise man. But by a sick, psychopathic CHILD DIDDLER, robber, rapist and murderer!
IT IS NOT and has never been a religion!
This putrid, pus infected horror has plagued this World long enough. If we don’t soon ERASE IT, it will erase us.
infidel says
But these same F-tards come to the West and ask for EQUAL RIGHTS… shameless creatures.. Malaysia is one of the most fanatical of Islamic nations out there.
