Liberalism And Pluralism Taking Roots In Malaysia
IPOH, June 12 (Bernama) -- Do not let liberalism and
pluralism destroy Islamic values, the Mufti of Perak
Datuk Seri Harussani Zakaria urged Monday.
He said unfettered liberalism and pluralism could be
harmful to Malaysian society in the long run.
He pointed out that discourses on polygamy, faraidh
system, the Quran, setting up of inter-faith
commission and abolishment of Article 121 (1A) of the
Federal Constitution, were getting louder as more
Malaysians embraced liberalism and pluralism.
He said Indonesia experienced the same phenomenon some
30 years ago.
"If left unchecked, liberalism and pluralism will be
difficult to control," he said when speaking at the
Ulamak 2006 Convention, here today.
Experts on the issues who include Assoc Prof Dr Anis
Malik Toha from the Islamic International University
(UIA) and Adnin Armas from the Institute for the Study
of Islamic Thoughts and Civilisation (INSISTS) will
present working papers at the two-day convention.
Harussani also proposed that Muslim countries set up a
body to monitor the penetration of western thinking
and culture.
The convention, held in conjunction with the Sultan of
Perak Sultan Azlan Shah's 78th birthday, was
officiated by Raja Muda of Perak Dr Raja Nazrin Shah.
The convention was attended by Members of Parliament
and State Assemblymen from Perak, Muftis from across
Malaysia, religious officials and representatives of
non-governmental organisations.
