COMMENT: Is this a religious-quarantine country? Just look at the fretfulness/nervousness displayed by Malaysian Islamic authorities as they lurch about blocking all manners of potentially bad influence (perceived or otherwise) that might fall upon Malaysian Muslims! Is it the case that Muslims cannot mount a calm and rational defence of their faith or that Islamic culture just cannot compete with other cultural influences in a free and open society or that somehow Muslims are just so weak that they must be protected all the times from undue influence?
In any case, they have no business banning activities that are essentially carried out by non-Muslims for non-Muslims.
“… anyone found playing the song can be fined up to RM1,000 under the Non-Muslim Religious Enactment 1988.” (more…)
