Malaysia to hire "ghost busters"

[Sock puppet path]

The Malaysian state hires ghost busters to help fight conversion from islam.

The move came after some enforcement officers with the Islamic Affairs Department in northeast Kelantan state were sent out to investigate cult groups but ended up becoming their followers instead, The Star newspaper said.

Too bizarre

From the article:

"Perhaps meals or drinks served to the officers were spiked," the state's Islamic department director Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman was quoted as saying.

Oh man. Only in dar-al-islam would a special combat team to fight apostacy be required or considered.

And what? They failed to convert the "cultists" and converted to the cults themselves?!? They must have been possessed by demons. Or liquored up! Or maybe they were promised virgins! That must be it.

Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto hypocrisy what is hypocritical.

I thought Malaysia was supposed to be successful and religiously moderate but with this and Linn Joy being convicted of the crime of converting I don't know. :shrug:

Allah must have wanted them to join the cult.

Oooh, I'd like to see someone argue that and then try to leave the courtroom.
