Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee recommended that liberalism and religious pluralism be declared deviant and a departure from Islamic law. The same recommendation applies to SIS Forum (Malaysia) and any individual, organisation or institution holding these views. The meeting also resolved to ban and seize publications carrying modern ideas contrary to Shariah, to be kept out of Malaysia by the Home Ministry and JAKIM, and to reject gender equity and equality campaigns that may indirectly lead to recognition of LGBT groups. Enforcement under the Shariah Criminal Offences Enactment (Penang) applies only to individuals or groups who clearly commit an offence under that enactment.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
