    Malaysian Islamic Partys cultural cleansing of Buddhists

    May 14, 2012 4:56 pm Malaysian Islamic Partys cultural cleansing of Buddhists In the latest incident of cultural cleansing, a Malaysian Buddhist society, in the city of Kota Bharu, is being forced to build its new temple to look like a mosque. Despite 30% of the inhabitants being Buddhist and Christian, the Malaysian city of Kota Bharu was declared to be officially Islamic in 2005 by the Parti Islam SeMalaysia, or Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS). Since Then the Kota Baru Municipal Council (KBMC) has instituted a number of sharia laws in an attempt to Islamize the public space. Due to a provision introduced by PAS, which heads the state government the Kelantan Buddhist Association is now being forced to comply with Islamic regulations for their buildings design, reports the Malaysian Chronicle. According to the Chronicle, the temples windows must contain Islamic features and cylindrical-shaped domelike shapes. The provision has denied the unique characteristics of other religious architectures and indirectly causing the associations buildings to lose their identities as Buddhist structures. Previously the municipal council has introduced gender segregation and restrictions on womens dress in public. In 2006 non-Muslim women were prohibited from wearing clothing that exposed their midriff, or exposed the cleavage or emphasized the buttocks. Rules for Muslim women were stricter, and required the covering of the head, and the wearing of a dress that covered the body to the ankles. Women who did not comply risked being fined. The Chronicle says PAS has intensified their hardline movements by forcing religious-based laws on non-Muslims."
