And Malaysia has a huge Christian minority (Muslims make up only 60% of the population).

Via Malaysian Insider:

The Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) said today the division among Muslims is not only caused by a weak faith, but also because of the instigation of Christians and Jews as warned in the Quran.

In its Friday sermon, Jakim said that it was said in the Holy Book that the Christians and the Jews will try with all their might to “deceive” the Muslims to follow their wishes.

“Splits are always bad for the religion but the question is why are Muslims still engaging in disagreements although it is forbidden by Islam?

“It is not only in the weakness of the faith but also encouraged by the instigation of Islam’s traditional enemies like the Jews and Christians, which never stops,” said the sermon titled “Manhaj Islami Dalam Perpaduan Ummah”.

Jakim said because of the Muslims’negligence in not listening to Allah’s reminders, it is not surprising that they continue to be misled by Islam’s enemies.

When Islam is divided, their enemies are rejoicing in their victory in deceiving the Muslims, added Jakim.

“So it is not surprising when a Muslim is duped by an enemy of Islam. As a result, there is infighting among Muslims while our enemies laugh that they have managed to deceive Muslims who are ignorant about Allah’s warnings.
