Haram Ringgit Funds Islamic Cause

I still cant wrap my mind around this one.
Malaysia is a rich country. Much of the resources have been deployed to better the lot of the so-called indigenous people. A big portion of this in turn, went to religion. Money is spent on mosques which show up everywhere. Money is spent on Quran reading events which are held frequently, in all parts of the country. Money is spent on developing Islamic university and other religious (sorry should have said Islamic) education institution, Islamic culture and anything Islamic you can think of. Political leaders climb over each other to parlay their religious (again, I meant Islamic) credentials. Every government department you go to makes you feel like you’re in a deeply religious country, albeit the religion, is again and exclusively, Islam. For when was the last time you went into a government agency and saw either a portrait of Christ or a cross, or the Ganesh (the Hindu elephant god) or Shiva or Buddha hanging on a wall or sitting on a desk? Islam pervades and permeates the country in all aspects of life. Yet, for the embarrassingly rich amount of resources poured into Islam, why haven’t the knowledge of the average Muslim grown sufficiently strong for them to stand on their own two feet? Why does the Islamic leadership still see the need to protect and cushion its congregation against apostasy? Have they failed so miserably in their religious program? You’d think with all those years of unbridled support and endless funding, Islamic scholarship would be so strong amongst its common flock that anyone of them could be robust enough to defend his or her own faith. Yet, the government still needs to protect them. The government must still ring-fence them against the under-funded, trodden and bullied churches (or any other non-Islamic faith). Chinese and Indian tax dollars far outweigh those of the Malay, especially given their minority status. Where spending on religion is concerned, these largely Chinese and Indian tax dollars have gone almost entirely into mosques and development of the Islamic faith. Yet the churches and temples these non-Muslim taxpayers go to, are under threat by the government. They are under threat because if any one of their members turn to Islam, it is a one-way ticket to you know where. On the other hand, if one of theirs decide on their own accord (and against the gigantic tides of massive government funding) to turn away from Islam to Christianity or Hinduism say,  God help the church, because they have to contend with the executive, the administrative and the judiciary branches of the state. Injustice? As Kiddo would say: like duh…
