An Islamic group has denied a mobile text message being circulated claiming that they were secretly altering the religious records of non-Muslims who accept free copies of the Quran from them.
Malaysia Reverted Muslims (MRM) called the message a lie and a false accusation against them, adding that there was no compulsion in embracing the religion.
"There is a message with two images circulating around in WhatsApp. We in MRM strongly deny the false accusation and we will lodge a police report soon on this matter," it said in a posting on its Facebook page.
The text message that has been going around stated that MRM was allegedly tracking down and converting those who accepted free copies of the Quran.
"Please don't accept it coz the minute you do you will have to fill in a form claiming it just for record purposes but actually they will track you down and convert you or change your records stating that you are a Muslim.
“Be reminded that the Quran is their holy book and it’s not to be touched by others and once it’s in our possession we can't dispose (of) it or put it anywhere coz it’s considered as a holy book. Please be safe and exercise your rights and politely reject it," the message read.
