KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 — Activities where Muslims visit non-Muslim houses of worship such as temples, churches, and gurdwaras to learn about these religions apart from their own should be rejected and restricted, the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) said today. “Although the objective of this programme is said to give exposure towards a religion (sic) practised in this country and to form close unity among the believers of different religions, but programmes to learn about other religions other than Islam in any churches or any houses of worship needs certain controls and restrictions to ensure there is no element of persuading Muslims to be influenced and interested in other religions besides Islam and also no involvement of Muslims in other religions’ rituals,” he said in a statement. While Mais highlighted the alleged lack of changes to the promotional material for the “Jom Ziarah” event for the church to show it was not for Muslims, the Impact Malaysia’s Facebook page currently does not show posters for the upcoming “Jom Ziarah” events to the church and to a Hindu temple
