Malaysia is a long way from the American model. You started with the British, who had an established church. Then it appears that you have adopted some American ideas (no taxation to support another religion), but not the full guarantee of religious freedom. Islamicist politics are inherently opposed to religious freedom, because that involves the freedom to choose the "wrong" religion
It is ironic because I myself is confused as well. Malaysian constitution is actually very contradictory becuase one article contradicts another. As it's sad it's drafted by a Christian, and endorsed it because of strong Islamic influence at it's time. However, that article about religious rights is already enough, but I dunno.

Then I got back a "look eastern" crap which he comments, while America champions secularism, the moral decay there is worst, compared to religious country. Backwardness, I say.
