Deep down are they so lack of confidence of their own religion?

Perkasa today highlighted seven threats to the survival of Malay-Islam in Malaysia and warned Putrajaya that the 14th general election may turn out to be a "Christianisation Tsunami" if the threats are not dealt with seriously.
The vice-president of the Malay rights group, Datuk Zulkifli Noordin, said the threats included Pakatan Rakyat, Singapore, non-government organisations (NGOs) and liberal Malays.
He pointed out that the move by Christians to drag the Allah issue to court was provocative and one which insulted Muslims.
"Their failure in the appellate court did not deter them as they attempted to drag it into the international arena using the United Nations.
"The Christian movement has received support from a faction of Malays who are hell-bent on capturing Putrajaya at all costs.
"If the 13th general election was labelled as a 'Chinese Tsunami', I would not be surprised if the 14th general election turns out to be a 'Christianisation Tsunami'," Zulkifli was quoted in today's Utusan Malaysia.
He then trained his guns at the DAP, saying that the Chinese-based party is the main threat to Muslims because of its "chauvinistic, racist, extremist and anti-Malay attitude which is strongly prevalent within the party".
Zulkifli highlighted the controversy surrounding Jelutong MP Jeff Ooi, who was forced to apologise publicly to the staff of the Penang Municipal Council for calling them "kucing kurap", as an example.
"As the majority of the Penang Municipal Council staff are Malays, calling them 'kucing kurap' proves how chauvinistic and racist the party is," Zulkifli said, adding that Ooi had failed to issue an immediate apology.
"It is as if apologising to the Malays is an insult. Remember how DAP national publicity chief Tony Pua labelled the officers and staff of the Registrar of Societies as Umno's running dogs?"
Another threat mentioned by Zulkifli was Parti Keadilan Rakyat and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Calling PKR irrelevant, he blamed Anwar for causing a split among the Malays in his quest to take over Putrajaya.
"Pakatan Rakyat has given a political lifeline to DAP to penetrate into constituencies which it had previously been unable to enter.
"This is a coalition which is led by a man who has been hauled to court twice on moral charges involving his own staff," he said, referring to the two sodomy charges against Anwar.
Zulkifli then questioned if the people still remembered the "lies" spread by the opposition in several issues, including Kampung Buah Pala, the Omega watch, Lynas and the issue of Bangladeshi voters.
"This is a party led by leaders who use lies and misrepresentation as their main tools," said Zulkifli, the former Kulim-Bandar Baharu MP.
Another threat, Zulkifli said, came from Islamist party, PAS, which he said is being controlled by DAP and Anwar.
"PAS is a party which is in cahoots with Anwar and DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang to allow Christians to use the word Allah."
Singapore, said Zulkifli, was another threat to the Malay-Islam struggle. This, he said, is based on a statement by the island republic's former premier Lee Kuan Yew.
Lee had reportedly said that he did not discount the possibility that Singapore might rejoin Malaysia if Pakatan Rakyat could deny Barisan Nasional from obtaining a two-thirds majority during the 2008 polls.
Lee was quoted as saying that if Pakatan Rakyat won enough parliamentary seats to form the government, the coalition could present a proposal in Parliament to invite Singapore to join Malaysia.
This, according to Lee, is provided for under Article 2 of the Federal Constitution. The proposal only needs a simple majority of 112 seats to be approved.
Zulkifli pointed out that if this happened, the Parliaments of Singapore and Malaysia will merge.
"As the Singapore Parliament has 89 seats, we know who will control these seats. They will be able to control the Malaysian Parliament with a big majority, even the possibility of a two-thirds majority."
Zulkifli said during a recent United Nations Periodic Review in Geneva, liberal NGOs had collaborated with their foreign counterparts to urge the international body to put pressure on Malaysia.
As such, liberal NGOs posed a threat, Zulkifli said, as they are pressuring Malaysia to accept several demands including apostasy, same sex marriage and dissolving Malay special rights.
"These NGOs also want Christians to be allowed to use the word Allah."
The final threat to the Malay-Islam struggle, according to Zulkifli, was liberal neo-Malays who he said did not appreciate the history of the Malay-Islam struggle in Malaysia.
"Liberal neo-Malays are sorely lacking in religion, patriotism and national pride. They have conflicting loyalties and a selfish attitude of putting themselves first.
"These liberal Malays idolise the West, hiding behind a democratic system, freedom of expression and human rights without any borders.
"They feel that the Islamic religion is too troublesome and also feel that the Malay race is backward and laidback."
Zulkifli also took a swipe at the deviant Shia teaching, saying the liberal Malays were entranced by it as they felt the Sunnah Wal Jamaah teachings were backward.
