In Friday sermon, Jakim warns Muslims against selling out to ‘others’
December 09, 2011

The sermon appeared to suggest that Muslims who associate with non-Muslims or stand up for non-Muslim causes were betraying their faith.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 — The government’s official sermon delivered today suggested that the position of Islam and the royal institution was being questioned because Muslims were selling out the religion to “certain quarters” which it did not name.

The sermon appeared to suggest that Muslims who associate with non-Muslims or stand up for non-Muslim causes were betraying their faith, and echoed a few racially divisive views espoused at the recent Umno general assembly.

This is one of the few reasons why I do not go to the mosque for the past few months. This is a place to worship god and not a place to gain political mileage. BN/UMNO does not represent the citizen of Malaysia or the Malay Islamic race but their own people within their party. With the poor sales of Utusan, they are so desperate right now to reach the Malays. I am sorry but you cannot play on us again. Nice try.

Percayalah, ramai yang sangat tersiksa dan disiksa jiwa raganya ketika dikhutbahkan, dileteri, dicemuh seperti budak nakal yang sangat jahat.

Siapakah yang menanggung dosa apabila melautnya rasa meluat terhadap khutbah Jumaat ini menjadi banjir yang tidak mahu surut-surut lagi?

Siapakah yang peduli apabila khutbah Jumaat itu kerap dijadikan sandera oleh orang yang gemar dan cenderung menjajah minda daripada berdakwah dan menyebarkan cahaya dan cinta kasihNya Ilahi?

Apakah khutbah sebegini lengkap, dan lulus rukun dan syarat-syaratnya?

Wahai para Ulamak, wahai para penjawat gomen, ke manakah tuan-tuan pergi?
