LOCAL NEWS- We support Fauzi, says religious leader.

KUALA LUMPUR- Takaful Malaysia's Syariah Department head Fauzi Mustaffar sent an e-mail to his staff earlier this month prohibiting them from extending greetings in conjunction with festivals such as Deepavali, Durga Pooja and Laksmi Pooja.


Since then he has been criticized publicly by numerous religious figures and public officials. Some have even called for his resignation.



However in this mass wave of protest, there are those who support his stance. A representative of the faith "Temple of Correct Dining-ware" or better known as "The Use the Right Dinner Fork You Heathen Bastards Religious Order" stated today that Fauzi's views are admirable.

"We preach the same thing in our faith. Our followers are forbidden from wishing holiday greetings to people of other less believable religions." He says that it signifies tolerance of their "false gods".




The religion also explicitly forbids the buying of holiday greeting cards. "Wishing a person joy and happiness while he celebrates his religion, means that you recognize that his demonic practice can bring joy and happiness. Therefore it means that you believe in that false god."

He says that even if that is not the intention, it would be an act supporting the deliverance of the misguided heathen to hell. "Which would be just as bad."he says sternly.




Among greetings that are forbidden are "Merry Christmas", "Selamat Hari Raya" (Happy Hari Raya) and "Selamat Hari Buruh" (Happy Labor Day). "Some of the more orthodox among us do not even wish infidels "good morning" as this would mean that they believe anything good could come out of their ridiculous religion."




"But I do not go so far as that. We still want to get along with everyone. We dont want to them to think we dont like them or anything like that." he says.

Havard is designing a Religious Gestulative Pattern which will be uniform for use for all the universal religious throughout the universe. No comment just gesture.

Interestingly, those who have actually read the Malaysian constitution will be aware that Sabah's 20 points include the fact that THERE IS NO OFFICIAL RELIGION for the state.
