said it is insufficient to merely give an assurance of increased scrutiny of blogs purportedly written by gay Muslims.
Minister in the Prime Minister Department Jamil Khir Baharom, whose portfolio covers Islam, had recently issued this pledge.
“Based on Jamil Khir’s admission, I urged the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) to act on gay activities on all levels as these are becoming increasingly pervasive,” Nasrudin said in a statement.
“We have yet to hear of any mosque in Malaysia which has been given texts of sermons that explain the ills of the gay lifestyle and its impact on the country.”
Nasrudin also urged the authorities to strictly monitor premises, presumably used for entertainment purposes, which are owned by homosexuals.
Jakim, he said,
“should monitor all forms of entertainment”, making special reference to a performance in Kuala Lumpur by
American Idol
finalist Adam Lambert, who is openly gay.
“We were shocked when the ‘gay icon’ was recently allowed to hold a concert at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil,” he said.
Nasrudin said there were also “shocking” attempts to promote the “gay culture” to the masses through films such as ‘Anu Dalam Botol’, a film about a trans-sexual couple.
The film is scheduled for released in March, but the word Anu (penis) has been removed from the title.
PAS Youth has been among the most vocal critics of homosexuality, having held a protest outside Lambert’s concert venue in October.
