What is it about Islamisation that non-Muslims fear?

[ipohan]

Whenever foreign friends or work associates ask about the state of affairs in Malaysia, one question that never fails to crop up is how I, as a non-Muslim minority, feel about the threat of radical Islamisation in Malaysia’s conservative, but still largely secular, society.

In the past, I used to tell those who read the headlines and shudder at the future of Malaysia’s secular state that the chances of our constitution being taken over by Islamic radicals lie somewhere in between “slim” and “no way”.

The question of Malaysia’s religious identity has always been debated, from as far back as the 1990s, and every once in a while, a battle between the conservative and liberal will spark.
