The New York Times reports Muslim groups continue to accuse the Christian minority of trying to “Christianize” the country and politicians by using the tension to court their Muslim majority base.
“It’s unfortunate that the authorities don’t take the relevant action against those making such wild allegations,” Bishop Jason Selvaraj of St. Mary’s Anglican Cathedral told The New York Times. “We are upset about that. There’s a sense of justice is not done. We have not done anything wrong.”
St. Mary’s Anglican Cathedral is one of the oldest churches in Malaysia.
Although Malaysia’ s constitution encourages religious freedom, Islam is considered the country’s official religion.
“Christianizing,” or spreading the Christian faith, is against the law, but Muslim’s may proselytize to others.
