From the Islam equals hypocrisy par excellence department: Fallout and spin continues in the wake of the thousands who protested against the (Muslim) government in Kuala Lumpur last Saturday.

Aftermath of Bersih rally in Malaysia: Government warns non Muslims to not attack Islam
Yesterday’s opposition rally in downtown Kuala Lumpur is now history, and in the aftermath is being frantically spun by both sides as maneuvering continues in the court of public opinion.

Malaysia’s capital in lockdown for major upcoming anti-government rally
An eerie calm is hanging over Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur (KL) tonight. Traffic is light on the streets and the distant din of police sirens is nearly constant.

Malaysia’s dhimmis fund Islamic da’wah
In Malaysia, Islam is the official religion of the state. That means that it’s funded by the taxpayers.

The Infidel’s Guide to Malaysian Politics
Having been an observer (and arguably a participant) of the Malaysian political scene for a number of years now, I think I’m in a position to be able to well describe that bizarre world to non Malaysians.

Malaysia (again) throws its support behind Orwellian-named ‘Freedom Flotilla II’ to Hamastan
Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib has chosen to openly and proudly wear his Muslim heart on his jihadist sleeve.

Islam equals hypocrisy par excellence
Muslims here in Malaysia and elsewhere love to prattle on about how warlike the ‘infidels’ are, especially America or anyone that can be portrayed as one of America’s friends. When former British Prime Minister Tony Blair visited Malaysia in 2010, a op-ed in a Malaysian government-controlled newspaper, The Star, excoriated him, stating in this piece […]

Stop the presses! Malaysia’s Prime Minister says he stands for ‘moderation’
This is precisely the sort of meaningless, taqiyya-laced press release that Muslim-led governments like Malaysia’s are notorious for. “Najib’s call to stand united against extremism gains support”, from The Star Online, 21 June: CYBERJAYA: African nations have expressed interest and responded positively to the global movement of moderates.
