Jakim: Muslims are not allowed to be involved in interfaith prayers - What about the Non Muslim soldiers forced to raise their hands on Parade?

Jakim and it's supremacist attitude

This ban by Jakim, affects Non Muslim Bumiputera soldiers from Sabah and Sarawak, it is especially significant, when taking into consideration the number of Iban soldiers of Christian faith, who by virtue of their origins, enjoy bumiputra status and thus, are entitled to special privileges as accorded by the constitution.

So what about forcing them to lift their hands when the "doa selamat" is recited on Parade, given the fact that they, the Christians are disparaged? The same to the Hindus and Buddhists. I hope the Generals have the testicular fortitude to exempt the Non Muslims from lifting their hands during the recitation of the "doa selamat" . Do NOT ever give the BULLSHIT excuse, that it is for uniformity. You expect them to lift up their hands when you blatantly disparage them. Soldiers who DO NOT believe in your faith should not be forced to raise their hands, that is why they are NON Muslims!!

Malaysiakini : Muslims in Malaysia are not allowed to participate in interfaith prayers either in the form of mass silent prayer or through separate rituals at an event.

This was explained by the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) in a letter on Aug 7 in response to a query from the Department of National Unity and Integration (Perpaduan).

Jakim said it was decided at a 2006 national-level meeting between all state fatwa councils that Muslims should not instruct non-Muslims to pray according to their individual faiths as prayers should only be made to Allah SWT. This is in line with the principle of "sadd al-zara’i" (to close off the paths of destruction) towards religious pluralism and to prevent the spreading of other religions to Muslims.
