Monday, 04 Nov 2019 04:37 PM MYTNorlela Ariffin said she has conducted sessions for Muslims with the religious department where they were shown the Malay version of the bible and the al-Quran side by side for comparison. — Picture via Facebook

“We don’t want Muslims to have this fear that just by touching a bible, they immediately become a murtad, this is not true,” she said when interjecting state opposition leader Datuk Muhamad Yusoff Mohd Noor’s debate at the State Legislative Assembly today. “We live in a multicultural society, it is important for us to understand each other, to know more about each others’ religions so that there is no unnecessary fear of another religion,” she said.

Norlela expressed her worry over the possible merging of Umno and PAS that will give rise to more racial incitement by the parties. He claimed that Malay language bibles were once distributed to schools in Penang and warned that it can become a big problem. “There is nothing wrong for a Muslim to touch a bible, it won’t convert them, even if a Christian missionary goes around spreading word about their religion, it will not affect our faith, I want Muslims to be confident in this,” she said.

Are you asking Z Naik n Our nyanyuk PM.. To commit hara kiri

Malays are not attracted to Malay Bibles. Malays attracted to the Christian Way of Life. Why? Because the Christian Way of Life appears more real and practical than the ways taught by their own religion. That's why.

Most of them still have a lot to learn from Quran. 🤦 It's a never ending journey. Stay focused

How could it be a threat in anyway. They (Muslims) don’t read ANYTHING, let alone their very own holy scripture.

The ultra malays say all must be in malay, but when ppl print malay language bible. they get agitated.. they think all can read english? lol

More effort needed to increase muslims awareness and understanding of their religion.. if not we will hv opportunistic using emotions instead of intellectual discourse to create confusion.
