Indoctrinating a religious belief onto an innocent child without the consent of the guardians/parents tantamounts to abusive and aggressive act of "criminal brain washing"!.Apai Semalaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-427568663280357662011-11-18T14:02:54.102+08:002011-11-18T14:02:54.102+08:00Lets see what the Malays PKR leaders in Sarawak go...Lets see what the Malays PKR leaders in Sarawak going to say.It will be interesting politically,at least among PKR members.By the way,what Baru said is a fact and parents must know what to do with their kids.Apai iraunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241154554081401786.post-68023680100801622212011-11-18T09:28:14.788+08:002011-11-18T09:28:14.788+08:00long lama got such a shop for rural folks.

We respect Islam is the religion of the Federation as enshrined in the Federal Constitution, but non-Muslims should be excluded from attending classes of Islamic teachings.<br /><br />According to the Director-General of the Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (Ikim) Datuk Dr. Syed Ali Taufik Al-Attas, the call of Islam is willing and conscious submission, hence it cannot be forced to upon anybody, including the conversion of a child or minor to Islam, because the ability to think and reason was a vital element for a non-muslim to choose whether to become a Muslim.<br /><br />" A child who has not reached `umur baligh` (age of maturity) cannot be burdened with the responsibilities of accepting something he does not understand as his faculties of reason are still immature. Therefore, it is unreasonable to say that one can simply convert a child, he said.<br /><br />Datuk Dr. Syed Ali said, a person who converted a child to Islam was actually forcing the child to accept the burden of responsibilities when Allah did not command such a burden be placed on the child who had not reached the age of maturity.(ASP retired) Brangking Kilaunoreply@blogger.com
