So, this is the Malay mind or the Islam mind ?

After the Allllllaaaahhhhh case, now we have the mosque problem.

I feel extremely sad that my fellow Muslims who are Malays would stoop so
low to politiciasing Islam in this manner that puts all Muslims in a bad light.
Those who are actually antagonistic towards Islam perhaps feel so when treated
in this manner. We have seen so many shameful issues of stepping on a cow's
head, of the restriction of the 'Allah' phrase, of making supplication for
non-Muslim leaders and the over-sanctification of mosques by the Malays for
cheap political agendas that I wonder no more why Islam is being hated with a
vengeance.

For the sake of our children and all Muslims in the future, we should
stop these efforts of using Islam for economic or political agendas by
instigating and flaring up controversial issues such as these. Once again in the
annals of Malaysia, Islam is being 'racialised' or 'Melayu-nized' to rally
support for private agendas of political leaders with questionable repute.

In this regard, the Malay newspapers have shown a complete lack of
professionalism as well as ethical practices that puts the lives of our future
generations in jeopardy. Never have I been ashamed to be considered a Malay in
times like these.


This is from a very reasonable Malay muslim.
