  "The policy of integration with the mainstream is frequently used to justify the objective of the 'Islamisation of the whole Orang Asli community' (JHEOA 1983: 2). As part of a variety of 'positive descrimination' policies, Orang Asli who convert to Islam could expect to be rewarded with material benefits both individually (e.g., cash incentive, housing, new clothes) and through community development projects (e.g., electricity and water supply, telephone connection, roads) 9HEOA 1983; Berita Harian, 26 November 1991; Berita Harian, 11 February 1998). Nevertheless, the major impact of a policy of Islamisation among Orang Asli is that Orang Asli culture and tradition are expected to give way to those sanctioned by the new religion."

  "The question of whether the Orang Asli were the first to step foot on the Malay Peninsula has been a moot point among scholars of the history of the peninsula. However, as explained in Chapter 1, there is good reason for retaining the term in Malaysia. As linguistics, Ferdinand de Saussure, which says that language is arbitrary and conventional, and from there to a later theory which says that language is relative, never absolute. On the coining of the term Orang Asli, we believe it was done in full consciousness with the objective of making the people bond with the other Bumiputra."

  The religious beliefs of the Temuan...

  "The religious beliefs of the Temuan have not been studied in any detail, and accounts are therefore rather vague. According to my informants, there are two major deities, 'tuhan diatas' and 'tuhan dibawah', meaning sky-god and earth-god respectively. The former is responsible for the creation of this world, and also for the after-world, and for the realm of the spirits in general. The second deity is responsible for the world of the living, and it is he who imposes punishment for any breach of local taboos. Well-known male ancestors who have died long ago much revered, although there is no special ancestor cult."

  The resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism : Its implication to the Western world

  Islam is indeed a misunderstood religion such as the misunderstanding and the prejudice against it that muslim and non-muslim alike often regard it as animpediment as a barrier to good peaceful relations between muslims and non-muslims and even between muslims and muslims. Both regard this religion that brought greatness tot he muslims and built a very progressive empire that dominated the world in terms of sciences, arts, technology, skills in exploration, navigation and in trade, industry, political strength and territorial size.
  
  The Western media attempts to relate any of terrorism or sabotage to the muslims, especially Arabs and does not trouble itself to the simplest description of the atrocities commented by some countries or some individuals of those countries against the muslim. Therefore, everyone that profess the Islamic faith is fundamentalists.
  
  There is a tricky and deliberate information policy which aims at the formulation of an international opinion that have a version towards Islam and muslims especially after the fall of the communist ideology which had been the first competitor to the West.
