Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that enforcement authorities should act consistently under the law against followers of Shia and Salafi-Wahhabi teachings who spread their beliefs to the public. State enactments touching on the position of Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah as the official school of thought should be reviewed and improved where necessary. The religious school syllabus, especially on creed, should also be reviewed. The decision rests on the view that new movements outside the mainstream school may confuse the public and harm existing unity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pihak penguatkuasaan perlu konsisten dalam mengambil tindakan undang-undang ke atas para pengikut fahaman syiah dan salafi-wahabi yang didapati menyebarkan fahamannya kepada masyarakat awam.
