“If justice and equality for women is un-Islamic, I don’t know where we are going with this.” And yet where they are going with this is absolutely clear. Here is yet more indication of why we don’t see more genuine Muslim reformers. Islamic Tolerance Alert from modern, moderate Malaysia: “Sisters in Islam files for judicial […]
Malaysia: Muslim group says Halloween a ploy by non-Muslims to turn Muslims godless
Curses, the plot is exposed! This kind of paranoia only fosters the us vs. them mentality that ultimately feeds into the jihad imperative.

Malaysia: Muslims accuse organizer of dog-petting event of apostasy, threaten to kill him
He has a “Jewish agenda to Christianise Muslim-Malaysians”! He “a Christian who wants to spread Shia teachings”! No, fellas, you’re both wrong: he is actually a Buddhist who wants to spread Methodism. “Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ‘We, angels, do […]
Malaysia: Muslim group demands ban of publications promoting religious pluralism
How did the Selangor Fatwa Council get this idea in modern, moderate Malaysia?

Malaysia: After outcry, Muslim group withdraws article “Islam on top, infidels below”
But where did they get this idea in the first place? Could it have been from the Qur’an, which calls Muslims “the best of people” (3:110) and unbelievers “the most vile of created beings” (98:6)? The sharp dichotomy between believers and unbelievers runs through all of Islam, and is epitomized by this verse: “Muhammad is […]
Malaysian explains why he joined Islamic State: Muhammad demands it
“The people who went there didn’t go for fun or adventure, it’s for Islam.” But don’t they know that the Islamic State is not Islamic and has nothing to do with Islam?

Malaysia: Teen faces sedition probe for liking “I love Israel” FB page
How can the Malaysian authorities possibly consider support for Israel to be “sedition”?

Islamic State planned jihad terror attack against Danish Carlsberg brewery in Malaysia
Why Carlsberg? Probably because it is a Danish firm, and it was in Denmark that those infamous cartoons of Muhammad were published a few years ago. To the Islamic State, that’s blasphemy, and blasphemers must be murdered. Note also that the reach of the Islamic State appears to go well beyond Iraq and Syria. “Isis […]
Malaysia: Muslim leader says Muslims must unite to attack Israel
But…but…it’s a struggle over land! If Israel makes a series of concessions to the “Palestinians,” all will be well and all manner of thing will be well — right? Only greasy Islamophobes believe that the Israeli- “Palestinian” conflict has anything to do with religion, right? “Perkasa wants all Muslim countries to attack Israel,” Kashmir Watch, […]
Malaysian ex-mufti: Hitler “might have been right” in exterminating Jews
This kind of talk is becoming increasingly open and common. “Palestinian” victimhood propaganda has made Jew-hatred newly respectable, and the rise of Islam in the West has directed new opprobium toward those whom the Qur’an designates as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82). “Hitler might have been right, says ex-mufti,” Malaysia Today, July 15, […]
