An Islamic victory. Anti-Islam Bar Council forum stopped
Alhamdulillah, the anti-Islamic forum which was supposed to be run throughout the morning today has been stopped.
About 300 protesters have gathered outside Bar Council headquarters demanding that the lawyers group halt its controversial forum on ‘Conversion to Islam’ this morning. The Bar Council today, adhereing to the advice of the police – and an angry mob at its doorstep – wrapped up its half-day forum on ‘Conversion to Islam’ at 10am, an hour after it had started.
Earlier about 300 protesters have gathered outside Bar Council headquarters demanding that the lawyers group halt its controversial forum on ‘Conversion to Islam’. A leader of the protesters – PKR Kulim-Bandar Baharu parliamentarian Zulkifli Noordin – declared the abrupt end of the forum as a victory for them. By 10.40am, most of the protesters have dispersed.
The open forum on the sensitive religious issue kicked off at 9am but angry protestors have given organisers half an hour to cancel the event.
The forum is nothing more than an Article 11/IFC clone and I am glad that a stop was put to it. Issues of this nature are not qualified to be discussed by those who have no authority about it, most especially the non-Muslim lawyers infesting the Bar Council. It has nothing whatsoever to do with promoting and understanding between religions, but an underlying attempt to diffuse and destroy the Islamic character of Malaysia, God forbid! And this is something I will oppose to until my last, dying breath.
