Many right thinking Malaysians query a select few individuals and organizations led by disgraced Malaysian dictator Mahathir Mohammad that Malays and the true and beautiful religion of Islam as propagated by Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) are under threat.

But Malaysians are puzzled and askance over who is threatening Malays and Islam as to the best of their knowledge the nation is a free state and they can see no threat or harm coming to this race or religion.

Although Malaysia is not an Islamic state, Islam is the official religion and this has been accepted and respected without doubt by all Malaysians and no one in his right mind will ever think of threatening Malays and Islam.

Therefore these allegations and claims are a very dangerous political ploy by Mahathir, Malay chauvinists, Islamic extremist and lunatic fringe groups that must be severely dealt with and the problem nipped in the bud.

Before this evil scheme by Mahathir and his adherents festers into a crisis it must be stopped as it threatens the delicate balance of a multi racial and multi religious nation and this why Malaysians are asking for certain proof that Malays and Islam are under threat.

Otherwise, if there is no basis to these allegations and claims, peace loving Malaysians who want to continue living in harmony with everyone in this country appeal to the government to take firm and decisive action against those who play the race and religion card.
