Insulting to not allow Muslims to become Christians
We now live in the New Malaysia. The New Malaysia of Pakatan Harapan promotes a moderate and liberal society. In a moderate and liberal society people cannot be forced to remain Muslims if they no longer want to. And Muslims must be allowed to become Christians if they want to. If not, that would be insulting to other regions, which is what Mujahid does not want.

Mujahid wants Muslims to stop insulting other religions
(FMT) – The minister in charge of Islamic affairs today hit out at Indian Muslim preacher Dr Zakir Naik, saying his combative style of propagating the religion by putting down other beliefs is not suitable for Malaysia.
Mujahid Yusof Rawa said Naik, who has sought refuge in Malaysia amid an investigation by Indian authorities, has a penchant for insulting other religions.
“We don’t want a debate that ridicules others. We need a more intellectual and composed method of Islamic propagation without the need to ridicule other religions,” he said in his speech to launch a seminar today on Islam and the challenges in a multiracial society. (READ MORE HERE)

That was what Mujahid Yusof Rawa said today. Actually, the real insult is in forbidding Muslims from leaving Islam to become Christians. Muslims who leave Islam to become Christians would get arrested and would be sent for rehabilitation to brainwash them into reverting to Islam.
I, too, was subjected to indoctrination by religious department officers when I was detained in Kamunting to ‘bring me back to the right path’. They said I have deviated from true Islam because of the articles I had written insulting Islam, when in actual fact my articles insulted Muslims, not Islam.
Many Muslims want to leave Islam to become Christians
Anyway, by prohibiting and arresting Muslims who leave Islam to become Christians, you are in fact saying that only Islam is the right religion whereas all other religions are wrong or fake religions. And this is insulting to religions such as Christianity whereas Christianity is recognised by Islam and is mentioned in the Qur’an.
So, if Mujahid is serious about not insulting other religions, Muslims should not be forbidden from leaving Islam to become Christians. According to one Christian website, millions of Malays want to leave Islam but they cannot because they fear arrest. Once leaving Islam is no longer a crime, most likely millions of Muslims will leave Islam and many of these apostates would become Christians.
Even in Iran Muslims are converting to Christianity
