Two siblings of ethnic Indian origin claiming to be Hindus have demanded that Malaysian authorities change their religion on their birth certificates that show them as Muslims.

The siblings, registered as Hindus on their identity cards, are trying to change their Muslim status on their birth certificates but have been turned down so far by Malaysia's National Registration Department.

The above might be because Malaysia was well on its way to becoming an islamic pardees (and role-model for all other dar-ul-islams to emulate) back in 2002 already. The Hindu siblings above could well be sentenced to death if the government accuses them of apostasy rather than the Hindus-by-birth that they are:

[Photo caption] Malaysia is a multi-ethnic society with a range of faiths
A state government in Malaysia has approved a bill to bring in Islamic criminal laws, including death by stoning for adultery and cutting off hands and feet for theft.
The bill on hudud law - the Islamic penal code - was proposed by the government of Terengganu, a rural state in the north-east run by Islamic party PAS.
The bill was easily passed as PAS (Parti Islam se-Malaysia) has 28 members in the assembly, with only four from the United Malays National Organisation (Umno) which dominates nationally.
But PAS has little chance of imposing the proposed law as the federal government controlled by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's coalition has vowed to block it.
The state government in Kelantan, the other Malaysian state controlled by PAS, passed similar laws in 1993 but they have never been enforced because of federal government opposition.
<b>Harsh punishments</b>
As the controversial bill was passed on Monday, the Umno legislators left the chamber in protest.
Under the code, a robber who kills his victim can be <b>sentenced to death and crucified</b>. A thief's right hand is <b>amputated</b> for his first offence, and his left foot for the second.
[Photo caption:] Dr Mahathir is seen as a moderate Muslim
<b>A Muslim who renounces Islam is punished by death.</b>
Women's groups have been particularly angered as the bill states that <b>four male Muslim witnesses are needed to prove a rape</b>.
<b>If they cannot back up their claims</b> they can be charged with slander, which is punished by <b>whipping</b>.
Sodomy and adultery is punishable by <b>death by stoning</b>, while Muslims who consume alcohol can be <b>whipped up to 80 times</b>.
Analysts say PAS - the main opposition party in Malaysia - is using the Islamic law as a way to try to win the support of the country's Muslims ahead of general elections due in 2004.
But Terengganu's Chief Minister Abdul Hadi Awang has defended the bill.
"Although our penalties are harsh and terrifying, we must realise that these offences and sins... are truly evil and despicable," he told the assembly on Sunday.
Mr Abdul Hadi, a hardliner, has been the party's acting president since the death last month of more moderate leader Fadzil Noor.
Muslims make up <i>just over half</i> of Malaysia's 23 million people, but they are in the majority in Terengganu.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->So Shariah is what happens when islamics exceed the 50% mark.
No doubt, any members of the Indian ummah who tuned in to this wonderful news back in 2002, would have rushed off to get their visas and tickets and work permits for Malaysia to be on their way to finally living in a country that has implemented so much of what a glorious Dar-ul-Islam ought to be.
A shame not enough Indian Muslims found out about this news and are instead lingering on in ignorance and misery in the world's Kafir capital nation: the "idolatrous, polytheistic, kafiristan" of Hindusthan.
And no doubt the christos of India so supportive of their equally 'oppressed' Indian islamic brethren will consider Malaysia as a prime example of a secular nation, and contrast it positively against 'unsecular, Hindoo fundamentalist' Bharat.
