In my ‘The law doesn’t need fixing…’ post yesterday, I stated a view that the cabinet’s call for the AG to look into amending the requisite civil laws to address the issue of unilateral conversions to Islam of minor children by ‘converts to Islam’ spouses was an idiotic call given that the problem was not with the existing civil laws but with some of the interpreters of those laws.
Malaysianinsider reports that ABIM president Yusri Mohamad is of the view that the cabinet’s call that children should be raised in the faith of their parents while they were married even if one spouse becomes a Muslim is both unconstitutional and irrational and would necessitate an amendment to the Federal Constitution.
I think Yusri’s got this completely wrong
Debate, Yusri?
