It’s all based on fear, top to bottom. You have to toe the line and be religious, or else some variety of terrible thing will happen to you.
“Malaysian state threatens to jail Muslim men who skip Friday prayers,” by Ima Caldwell, Guardian, August 20, 2025:
The Malaysian state of Terengganu has threatened to jail men who skip Friday prayers without a valid reason for up to two years.
Under sharia law in the state, first-time offenders could be imprisoned for up to two years, and fined 3,000 ringgit (£527), or both, according to new rules that came into effect this week.
The new rules were announced by the governing Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) on Monday.
Previously, those who missed three consecutive Friday prayers faced a maximum of six months in prison or a fine of up to 1,000 ringgit (£176).
Worshippers would be reminded of the rules by mosque signage, while enforcement would rely on reports from the public and religious patrols in joint operations with the Terengganu Islamic Affairs Department….
Terengganu state legislative assembly member Muhammad Khalil Abdul Hadi told the local daily Berita Harian that punishments would only be imposed as a last resort.
“This reminder is important because Friday prayers are not only a religious symbol but also an expression of obedience among Muslims,” he said.

Interesting development. If the mosques are not full, this would not be necessary, which might logically be interpreted as a sign that all is not well in the house of Islam. Islam eating itself is a good sign.

Each and every report showing the actual state of these Islamized societies debunking the Islamophile portrayal of these nations as ‘moderate’ or even secular is a precious tool for warning those whose discernment hasn’t been obliterated yet by the pro-Islamic leftist propaganda. Shared in all my social media, thank you so much.

History books used to tell us that Malaysia would not exist except that the British organised (“colonised”) the inchoate bundle of jungle entities of the peninsula as a new entity, British Malaya, which even included Singapore. Everybody hates the British -especially barbarians of the jungle.
-What’s that?
-That’s a Post Office.
-What’s it for?
-After you write a letter you can put it in an envelope and stick a stamp on it.
-What’s a stamp?
-It’s …umm…later.
-Ok, but what’s that big ugly noisy thing?
-It’s a steam train. You can use it to get to Singapore within a day.
-That’s silly -nobody from here wants to go to Singapore. And what’s that other weird thing?
-It’s a ceramic bowl for a water closet.
-Oh yes I’ve heard about that. Disgusting. That’s why we hate the British.
-What!?
-You offend Allah who created the forests as so convenient when we have a “call of nature”.
-We call it Progress. And before you ask, this thing is called a “chair” and it’s … it’s…too hard to explain. Why do we bother?

Whatever is not forbidden is compulsory. True totalitarianism.

Carrots with stick then bayonets are the only means by which the Western Elite Globalist, Marxist, and Islam remain empowered!
