Malaysia is allegedly “moderate,” and the future of the Islamic world.
“Malaysia: Court stops indigenous woman from practicing her Faith, identifies her as ‘Muslim’ based on conversion as a child without her consent,” OpIndia, October 4, 2024:
An indigenous woman (Orang Asli), belonging to the jakun tribe, was recently denied the right to practice her real Faith and profess her cultural and spiritual beliefs in Malaysia.
The victim had moved the court to nullify her conversion to Islam as a child. However, her plea before the Court of Appeal was dismissed by a 3-member panel in a 2:1 verdict.
Reportedly, the indigenous woman was converted to Islam when she was just 2 years old. She was fathered by a Muslim man, who did not marry her mother (belonging to the jakun tribe).
Victim converted to Islam as a child
Her mother had converted to Islam on 14th November 1995. The victim argued that she did not recite the oath of allegiance to Islam (Kalimah Syahadah) and did not consent to the conversion.The indigenous woman’s petition, to be declared a non-Muslim, was turned down by the Kuantan High Court last year. Now, the Court of Appeals has also dismissed her application….

What does that mean?
Does she need to declare that she is an apostate and wait for somebody to hunt her down and kill her according to Shari’a, the law made by Allah himself in his perfect wisdom?
Or does she need to live as a covert apostate?

If she does not practice islam and instead practices her real faith she had better be *very* discrete about it or she will not be safe–unless she can get out of Malaysia.

So much for “no compulsion in religion” in Islam. And “moderate” Malaysia has done this king=d of thing before.

She faces double discriminations by the Malaysia government, racial and religious discriminations. Malaysia is a very racist country, it is openly doing it on law, it is even worse than Indonesia which is also racist but in many cases behind the door.

All children become Muslim by birth, they are branded like calves in the old Western USA. As there are no ways to leave Islam that is how its numbers always grow. Of course the same is mostly true of the RCs but they at least can leave in later life if they survivet ehed auction/indoctrination sysytem.

Malaysia is the only country in the entire World that has an Affirmative Action Program for the majority.
Bumis, as muslims in Malaysia are known, have benefits beyond any other religion.
It is now illegal in Malaysia for a non muslim to use the world allah in public as it is written this word is for use by muslims only even though this name has been used by Arabic speaking Christians before mohamad, may piss be upon him, met his fallen Angel in a Cave and Malaysia is not an Arabic speaking country however a non muslim can still say allah when in Saudi Arabia…
Malaysia is NOT an islamic moderate Nation as its going backwards and gets closer and closer to Iran policies each and every year.. As does Indonesia.
The people that always call both Malaysia and Indonesia as ”moderate muslim countries” have never been there… I have.. many times, even lived there years ago.
