malaysiakini on Strengthening ISLAM....

No I am not going to write a lot about the problems of Muslims or Islam in Malaysia.
I believe that most major religions encourage good behaviour and positive values as it is.
So I wonder why this article in malaysiakini Zulkifli: We must strengthen Islam suggests that there is some weakness in Islam - otherwise why is there any need to make it stronger?
The most common weakness in many religions is that of the human kind - many religious leaders do not set a good example themselves and therefore demand more and more power to control others.
Even the concept of controlling others appears to be against one of the basic tenets of Islam -
"There is no compulsion........"
