A Muslim NGO has demanded an apology to all Muslims from those
involved in the controversial thanksgiving dinner held at the premises
of the Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC).
The NGO said this is because it is clear from Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah’s decree yesterday that there indeed were attempts to subvert the faith and beliefs of Muslims at the function, although legal action could not be taken because of a lack of evidence,
In a statement today, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) said it welcomed the sultan’s remarks assuring Muslims that the integrity of their faith was under his watch and care against “the threat of Christianisation” while its president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman said, “The (issues raised by the event) have caused Muslims to feel concerned that it will become a concern and a threat if not stopped. His (Highness’) stand, which views Jais’ actions objectively, has shown his concern for this sensitive issue.”

Jais, or the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department, had raided a
thanksgiving function on Aug 3 organised by Harapan Komuniti, a welfre
group, at the auditorium of the DUMC and claimed to be investigation allegations that Muslims
were being subjected to Christian proselytisation. It then conducted a
probe on 12 Muslims who had been present that evening.
