Malaysia's newest Islamic warriors By Lim Teck Ghee

Malaysiakini : COMMENT | Which Islamic warrior and what form of Islam wins will determine the future of Malays and non-Muslims in Malaysia.

After the social media frenzy over the corruption charges facing Muhyiddin Yassin, attention is now focusing on the religious front related to the film, Mentega Terbang. Released in November 2021, the film appears to have become the latest concern of the nation’s new generation of “Islamic” warriors. 

Reports and pictures of the vandalised cars of the director and scriptwriter together with the written placard threats are now circulating nationally and also internationally. 

How and why the movie which tells the story of a teenager, who on finding out that her mother has terminal cancer, tries to find out about life after death and the way that different religions deal with the subject, has generated thuggish responses and criminal reactions may appear to be difficult to understand.

Tyrion Lannister : I wonder what are Muslims need to rise to? Most of them are living in Muslim countries and yet, they escape by boatload to infidel countries seeking refuge. So, what's wrong their their Muslim countries rules by Muslim leaders?

XED : Why are so many Muslims fleeing the prosperous and peaceful abodes of Islam for the decadent West? If only enough is said by the Islamic warriors in Malaysia about the plight of divorced women who are struggling to obtain maintenance from their ex-husbands for their children.

It appears that an extremist Islamic identity is being promoted by some as part of the Malay identity in what is seen as a war against the non-Malays. It is a form of diversion from the ills affecting Malay society brought about by a corrupt, crooked and incompetent Malay leadership.

Tell the ordinary Malays who are toiling to put food on the table that Islam is under attack by non-Malays and they will go on the rampage. The loudest tend to get a disproportionately greater amount of attention. The more tolerant ones amongst the Malays get frightened into remaining silent.

Steven Ong : What ever version of Islam the Muslims try to propagate, they all have the same purpose, that is to subdue the world under Islam and no other way are allowed in this world.

As pointed out by many , Islam will be embraced and accepted by all , if there is one Islamic country where its development is the most peaceful and best in the world and its people are the pioneers in many developing technologies helping the world in many areas.

Or are they the struggling , threatening and choatic communities that had generated a phobia feared by many peace loving people?

Sealthedeal : And they harp on about islamaphobia when they indeed are the cause of it. It's pathetic.
