Dear brothers, what I am posting here my come as revelation to many about the state of Islam in supposedly one of the world's most 'progressive' muslim countries:

What has happened is that no-one is allowed to teach Islam unless they are accredited by the authorities. They can be charged as a criminal under the law. The development is primarily aimed at stopping the primarily Islamic opposition party which has many ulama amongst their members from teaching Islam such that it could result in the ruling party losing the coming election in Malaysia. However, the implications to dakwah activities is far reaching as the authorities can now stop anyone from teaching Islam to anyone else unless they have been accredited by the government authority to do so.

Great news! this prevents extremist groups and other groups such as the {Ahmadeiyya, which has millions of followers in Indonesia} from freely preaching their tenets.
