Faced with intense scrutiny for what turned out to be an unpopular act that they had probably figured on carrying out with impunity, the Jais, or Selangor Islamic Religious Department, continues to split semantic hairs on exactly what its police force did at Damansara Utama Methodist Church.

Malaysia, Sharia, and the Pact of Umar
The recent church raid in Malaysia by the Muslim lifestyle police (i.e. ‘Jais’) is highly instructive. As my fellow Malaysian counterjihad blogger Timothy Leif at Scribes Malaysia has eloquently put it, it shows that Sharia is not just ‘for’ Muslims — it’s for everybody. Whether you like it or not. From “JAIS: Sharia For Non-Muslims […]
Malaysian Christians finding it hard to ignore worsening persecution at the hands of Muslims
The recent brutal religious police raid on a Malaysian church is proving to be a watershed moment, a moment that, for Christians in Malaysia, is showing just how bad the persecution in their own country has become. Even Malaysia’s Christians have begun to notice. From “Upset, Christians tell each other to pray for a change […]
Malaysian Christians ‘guilty’ of plotting to proselytize to Muslims
Here’s another follow up on this story of the Malaysian government’s raid on a church last week, which has been justified solely on a spurious tip-off that the church was supposedly trying to convert Muslims to Christianity. Right on cue, the Malays are claiming (with their government’s blessing) that there’s indeed a diabolical scheme afoot, […]
More on ‘moderate’ Malaysia’s Islamic supremacist agenda: mandatory mosques in housing estates
Coming soon to moderate, modern Malaysia: government regulations that require surau and mosques to be built at privately-constructed housing estates (housing developments). It amounts to yet more non Muslim subsidization of Islam. But for Malaysia, as in every other Muslim-ruled country, that isn’t anything new. “Govt mulls asking housing developers to provide mosques”, The Star, […]
Fallout from Malaysian religious police church raid: Muslims attempt damage control
Following up on this initial story, the Malaysian media is still reverberating with the aftermath of the [Malaysian central state of] Selangor’s religious police (‘Jais’ in Malay) raid on a church two days ago.

Malaysian state considering heavier penalty for Muslims caught not fasting during Ramadan
OK, let’s quickly review the some recent assertions pedaled by Malaysian Muslims about their belief system: “The first basis of [Islam] is to find moderation.” -Hafidz Baharom“Islam is fair to all. Islam is beautiful…Islam is noble“. -Prime Minister Najib So, if any of foregoing were even partially true, why would Islam and Islamic law constantly […]
Non Muslims continue fleeing Malaysia, but the reason? It’s a mystery to the Malaysian media
This article in the Malaysian government media mouthpiece ‘The Star’ vainly tries to downplay the slow-motion economic catastrophe otherwise known as the ongoing Chinese exodus from Malaysia. “Decrease in Chinese population “˜purely arithmetic–, by Mazwin Nik Anis and Lee Yen Mun, The Star, July 31, 2011: PETALING JAYA: The Chinese population in the country has […]
The Malaysian response to the Norwegian massacre
Events in far-off Norway, namely the horrific double-attack and massacre of innocents about one week ago, have elicited a response from the Malaysia government in what is officially described as a ‘strong condemnation’. And for Malaysia’s government, it is largely as advertised, a sternly-worded condemnation, but with a dollop of treacherous taqiyya thrown in for […]
