https://maralsalmassi.substack.com/p/why-islam-cannot-be-reformedand-why?triedRedirect=true ... Islam is not merely a religion—it is a civilizational engine built for expansion. It maintains by crushing dissent via apostasy laws and securing internal cohesion through communal pressure and legal entrapment... From its inception, it was a geopolitical project fusing law, state, and religion into one totalizing system. ‎<This message was edited> Sent from my iPhone

Why the rush for PM to officiate mosque ground-breaking ceremony when discussions are still ongoing? 22 March 2025 I refer to the statement by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim yesterday on the Kuil Dewi Sri Pathrakaliamman in Jalan Masjid India which is being pressured to relocate to a yet unidentified site, to enable a "Masjid Madani" to be built on the site. Anwar claimed the temple is on private land, that it had no permission and that it is not legal; and that he will proceed to officiate the ground-breaking ceremony for the mosque on 27.3.2025. This displays serious ignorance of the history, facts and circumstances around the temple issue. Let me say at the outset, what is the rush for Anwar to carry out the ground breaking ceremony on 27.3.2025, when the discussions between the temple and DBKL are still ongoing? Why is Anwar not prepared to give the necessary space and time for that process to be carried out? Secondly, it is unacceptable that Anwar Ibrahim th...

DeepSeek's answers to the question: How come corrupt politicians in Malaysia very rarely get convicted? ———————————————. The lack of convictions for corrupt politicians in Malaysia can be attributed to a complex interplay of systemic, political, and societal factors: 1. **Political Influence on Institutions**: - **Judicial Independence**: Concerns about political interference in the judiciary and enforcement agencies, such as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), can hinder impartial investigations. Leaders may exert pressure to protect allies or themselves. - **Ruling Party Dynamics**: Dominant political coalitions may block probes into their members to maintain power, leveraging legislative majorities or bureaucratic control. 2. **Institutional Weaknesses**: - **Enforcement Challenges**: Even when agencies like MACC are active, they may face resource constraints, legal hurdles, or lack of cooperation from other state bodies. - **Burden of Proof**: High ...

My long musings... I think everyone is aware of the trend where the gap between the conventional and syariah dividends has narrowed throughout the years until they are equal this year. This is hard to believe as the conventional fund is manifold larger, there's no restriction in its investment portfolio and the returns on investment in the 'sin' industries tend to be higher. I hope I'm wrong but I posit that the following scenario might unfold: 1) the dividends payout has been engineered to boost the syariah returns with funding from the conventional. This is done primarily to alleviate certain race-based political pressures and appease the majority who is displeased with lower annual returns regardless of the reality of their self-imposed ideological restrictions. Now that parity has been 'achieved' through years of incremental manipulation to close the gap, a new norm of parity dividends will become a reality until it's eventually accepted by the gener...
