In a call to arms, today's Friday sermon has called on the Muslim community to help counter the "cancer and virus" of "liberal forces" that have hijacked the internet for its diabolical weapon to undermine Islam in Malaysia.
"In the context of anti-Islamic challenge through the great information technology, it is the duty and responsibility of Muslims to use whatever reasonable strategy including the social media to fight against, answer and repel the propaganda and tricks of the enemies of Islam," read the sermon written by the Islamic Development Department (Jakim).The sermon said that the enemies of Malaysia’s official religion were amassing and attacking to undermine Islam's position, especially the fight for upright values and moral ways.
It warned of an "organised cyber-army" which employed strategies such as symbols, websites, blogs, and widespread use of social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter.
"Remember, if the Muslims remain careless and continue in their beauty sleep unaware of the cancer and virus that are destroying its victim, for certain it will destroy your mind, cause you to lose your identity, warp your perception and in the end destroy your power and dignity," warned the official sermon meant for use in local mosques.
