And by ‘mocking religion’, no doubt the Malaysian government is referring to one religion in particular. “No compromise on individuals mocking religion: Ahmad Shabery”, from the New Straits Times, July 20: KUALA BESUT: The communication and multimedia ministry will not compromise with those who insult or mock religion on social websites. The minister, Datuk Seri […]
Malaysian Muslim rights group threatens Bible burning, violence
More peace-loving gestures from the followers of the Noble Religion of Peace and Moderation in Malaysia. Muslim rights groups like Perkasa, always on a hair trigger, are ready to use violence and to destroy Bibles with the unauthorized word ‘Allah’. And the group’s leader claims that such threats are to ‘prevent violence’ (!). A follow […]
Former Malaysian Prime Minister: Arabs not smart enough to have conducted 9-11 attacks
(Photo credit: Wikipedia) Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is not only a shameless and well-known anti-Semite, jihadist enabler, and apologist slash propagandist extraordinaire for Islam. He’s also an unrepentant racist to boot. Among his more stunning recent ‘insights’ is the conviction that Arabs are apparently too stupid to be able to pull off acts […]
Pro-Hamas, anti-Israeli protest at U.S. Embassy in Malaysia
Another Friday, another day to somehow misconstrue the Religion of PeaceTM, Tolerance and Moderation also known as Islam. This time, Malaysian jihadists and their supporters marched to the US Embassy to protest the existence of Israel and its recent self-defense measures against Hamas and Palestinian aggression. From “Group protests against Israeli raids on Gaza at […]
Malaysia officially sides with Hamas (again)
Hardly a shock, but worth noting nonetheless. ‘Moderate modern’ Muslim Malaysia’s previous proclivities in regards to Hamas have been noted here at Jihad Watch before, so Malaysia’s (restated) condemnation of Israel’s self-defense and (restated) staunch support of Hamas was merely a matter of time. From “Malaysia condemns Israeli attacks on Gaza, calls for UN action,” […]
Lebanon arrests two Malaysian suspected suicide bombers, Al Qaeda members
Tiny minority of extremists update: The ideology that inspired these two as yet unidentified Malaysians to travel to the Middle East intending to commit murder is of course undisclosed and unexamined in the following Malaysian media piece. The words ‘Islam’ or ‘Muslim’ are in fact not stated anywhere in the article, but the word ‘jihadist’ […]
Malaysian court ruling on Muslim transsexuals raises alarm over Islam “˜superseding” Constitution
Islamization in Malaysia (and of Malaysia) continues its slow but certain path to total supremacy. A recent Malaysian court case vividly demonstrates how, in what should be unsurprising to informed observers, Islamic law increasingly dominates all other sources of law. This includes Malaysia’s Federal Constitution. Although this constitution is supposed to be the country’s supreme […]
Malaysia’s Prime Minister: LGBTs, liberalism, and pluralism are enemies of Islam
Malaysia’s piously Muslim Prime Minister Najib (in photo) needs to remind the faithful just who the enemies of Islam, and hence the Malaysian government, are. The timing of his pronouncement is no accident, coinciding with the start of Islam’s ‘holy’ month of Ramadan, which started today in Malaysia. Najib has intoned to Muslims, and hence […]
Last Malaysian Hindu temple in central Kuala Lumpur condemned, given five days to vacate
Another Hindu temple in Malaysia will soon join the growing list of non Muslim houses of worship to be destroyed by (Muslim) authorities in the name of ‘progress’. In this case, the last Hindu temple reportedly in the central business district of Kuala Lumpur will soon be demolished as a part of a ‘redevelopment’ project, […]
Infidels funding Islam: a primer to Malaysia’s disguised jizya system
In the West, Malaysia is frequently singled out as a successful example of a moderate Islam state, with gullible and ignorant Westerners often waxing lyrical about its old growth jungles, exotic beaches and cheap, delicious food. Malaysia has not one but nine royal families, which are all Muslim. Members of the nine take turns in […]
‘Moderate’ Malaysia: where (non Muslim) tradition is prohibited
Not entirely prohibited, of course. At least not yet. But the trend in the ‘model Muslim state‘ of Malaysia firmly points in the direction of, over time, greater and ever greater suppression of non Muslim cultures, belief systems and traditions. This is the agenda otherwise known as Islamic supremacy. It’s an agenda that more non […]
Malaysian temple condemned, temple staff and devotees given 15 minutes to leave
At least this story, unlike most stories of Islamic supremacy in Malaysia, has a happy ending — the temple in question was not completely destroyed. Every week seems to bring news of another church or temple somewhere in Malaysia demolished on the flimsiest of pretexts. For this near demolition of yet another Hindu temple, there […]
Malaysian government views LGBT community as a ‘spreading problem’ to be stopped
And why? Because Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transsexuals (LGBTs) are considered to be against Islam, and hence must be removed from society by the government. The stop of the ‘spread’ of LGBTs is to be done via such coercive measure such as the Islamic religious police and the enforcement of Sharia laws that are already […]
Malaysia arrests bookstore manager for selling Irshad Manji’s latest book
No doubt much of the world has forgotten, let alone taken note, of the Malaysian government’s decision to ban Irshad Manji’s latest book ‘Allah, Liberty and Love’. Rest assured that Malaysia’s ruling Muslims have not. In a move surely designed to keep bookstores safe for Believers and to keep unauthorized thoughts from entering their vulnerable […]
Jihad in Burma: ‘State of Emergency’ declared in western Burma
Burma, AKA Myanmar, is a little-known front in the war between Islam and Everything Else. Nevertheless, it is a front which seems to be becoming more active as of late. Western Burma is called home by a Muslim minority known as the Rohingya, a group with a previous track record of jihadist tendencies. Despite the […]
Malaysian deputy prime minister: Islam not compatible with freedom, liberal thought
Will the rampant Islamophobia never end? Malaysia’s ruling Muslims, lauded by Senators McCain and Lieberman as a model government for all Muslims to follow, somehow have the mistaken idea that Islam is not compatible with ‘Western liberal thought’ and freedom. Imam Rauf, call your office! From “DPM: Nation’s future depends on Malay unity”, The Star, […]
Malaysian communication minister: “Blocking filth on net not censorship”
When a Muslim owned and operated government such as Malaysia’s speaks about freedom of any kind, doublespeak, doublethink and equivocation are sure to follow. And in this case, what the ‘moderate’ Malaysian Muslim Minister of Information doesn’t mention is at least as important as what he does mention. Namely, that criticism of Islam would almost […]
Senators Lieberman and McCain: Malaysia is a model Muslim country
U.S. senator (and former presidential candidate) John McCain as well as US senator (and former vice presidential candidate) Joe Lieberman are visiting Malaysia this week. It turns out that they have nothing but good things to say about Malaysia. From “Malaysia is a model Muslim country”, by Mergawati Zulfakar, The Star, 31 May 2012: KUALA […]
Malaysian religious police raid publisher of Irshad Manji’s just-banned book
Malaysia’s religious police have wasted little time in enforcing the recent government decision to ban Irshad Manji’s latest book, Allah, Liberty and Love. Earlier today, the (Malaysian state of) Selangor contingent of enforcers of the Religion of Peace, Moderation, and Tolerance (or ‘Jais’ in Malay parlance) raided a publishing house in the Kuala Lumpur area, […]
Yet another Malaysian non-Muslim house of worship demolished
The word ‘non-Muslim’ above is almost without a doubt superfluous, because whenever a house of worship in Malaysia gets bulldozed, smashed, demolished, or destroyed, you can safely bet the farm that the house of worship in question isn’t a mosque, surau or madrassah. This time it’s yet another Hindu temple that has been leveled, in […]
