Malaysian Government Wants Websites Critical of Islam Censored.

THE Federal Department of Islamic Development (Jakim) urged Putrajaya in its
Friday sermon today to consider internet censorship to stop attacks against
Islam.

The sermon stated that given the challenges posed by anti-Islam groups
through information technology, it was important that the Muslim community
used whatever reasonable strategy available including social media to
counter, answer and ward off the propaganda of the enemies of Islam.

"Muslims must be kept updated on current developments so that we get
accurate information and not be influenced by enemy propaganda.

"You all can also use new media such as YouTube, Twitter and blogs as
mediums to send out the right message and spread the teachings of Islam.

"While Muslims are working at strengthening the economy and the Malay race,
the enemies have not slackened for a minute to run their mission to destroy
Islam by using whatever strategy possible, including cyber troopers," said
Jakim in the sermon.

The Islamic body said it was required of Muslims to identify the agenda
designed to erode the sanctity of Islam and to also identify those who
attempted to do so.

Jakim warned that the international line of thinking, such as liberalism and
pluralism, seems to be spreading fast via the internet and influencing the
younger generation.

"They are launching calculated attacks by spreading news which insults Islam
through the use of symbols and in social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
