Tuesday, April 27, 2004 More Arab than the Arabs? - Straits Times Why are Malays turning to Arabic customs, speech and outlook to define themselves? ... 'As they become more 'Muslim', they become less Malay. They discard old values associated with the Malays, and which are considered un-Islamic. They believe that cultural expressions like theatre and art forms like wayang kulit are un-Islamic because of their pre-Islamic origins." |
