Allow Muslims to visit non-Muslim places of worship but no propagation allowed, says group

PETALING JAYA: An interfaith group has called on the government and Islamic authorities to not impose a blanket ban on Muslims from going to non-Muslim places of worship but must make it clear there will be no propagation to Muslims.

The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST) said the recent statement by the Selangor religious affairs exco member Mohd Zawawi Ahmad Mughni that any programme involving Muslims at non-Muslim houses of worship is not allowed, appears to suggest that even unity walks to houses of worship are disallowed.
