Singapore’s founding father Lee Kuan Yew has urged local Muslims to « be less strict on Islamic observances »

Finally, in Asia too are some voices to denounce Islamic Jihad. Here are some excerpts:

« I would say today, we can integrate all religions and races except Islam, » he said in « Lee Kuan Yew: Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going, » a new book containing his typically frank views on the city-state and its future.

« I think we were progressing very nicely until the surge of Islam came and if you asked me for my observations, the other communities have easier integration — friends, intermarriages and so on… » he stated.
