Academic Tajuddin Mohd Rasdi took potshots at two national Islamic bodies for recommending a ban against two books authored by US-based professor, Ahmet T Kuru.

This comes after the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI)’s Muzakarah Committee and the Islamic Development Department (Jakim) urged the government to ban Kuru’s books titled “Perikatan Ulama Negara Punca Autoritarianisme dan Kemunduran Dunia Muslim (2022)” and “Islam, Autoritarianisme dan Kemunduran Bangsa (2024)”.
