No need for think tank to
study ‘Christianisation
agenda’, says Na’im
Religious affairs minister Na’im Mokhtar says Islamic research is already being carried out by Jakim and groups of experts.
Na’im said the role of Institut Kajian Strategik Islam Malaysia (Iksim), formed in 2014, was to conduct strategic studies to support the development of Malaysia in line with Islamic principles.
“The government believes that the studies implemented by the Islamic development department (Jakim) and groups of expert researchers, at both public and private universities, already cover the necessary aspects involving Islamic research,” he said.
In a written parliamentary reply, Na’im said research conducted by Jakim, whether on its own or in collaboration with universities, would go through several levels of checks and discussions.
This includes the muzakarah committee of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI).
He was replying to Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden (PN-Alor Setar), who asked if there were efforts for Iksim to launch a study into “the issue of the Christianisation agenda” in Malaysia.

Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden (PN-Alor Setar), a PAS bloke, is like most PAS pollies, obsessed with the so-called Christianisation of Muslims in Malaysia. But the issue is of great use to such pollies, to marshal votes for themselves by fermenting unfounded fear in their electorate - S-Whole
The absolutely no evidence of Muslims in Malaysia conversion to Christianity in any significant numbers.
ReplyDeleteIt's illegal in Malaysia and everyone knows it.
Christian outreach among non-Muslim bumiputras in East Malaysia, as well as Orang Asal in Peninsular does happen and is not against the law there.
Muslim conversion to Christianity in Indonesia and Singapore, where it is legal, does occur in significant numbers, but thar is nothing to do with Malaysia.
Now, there are Christian charities that do good community aid work throughout the country, regardless of religion , and some Muslims have benefited from it.
Same goes for Buddhist charities like Tzu Chi.
Are we to turn away a human being in need because they are Muslims ?
Dei, Jakim....if a Muslim individual or family is in severe need for help, and they find that aid from a Christian or Buddhist charity , you should look at your own inefficiency , not try to demonise others.
