Why the Allah-brand socks’ amok-like outrage today but not the Allah sandals in 2017?

The controversial topic regarding the “Allah” socks being sold in KK Mart has sparked a national outrage among the Malay community. There are calls for boycotts and some didn’t even want to receive free items from these stores. However, a woman back in 2017 sold slippers with “Allah” printed at the sole but netizens claim the outrage back then wasn’t as big as it is today.

X users are saying that this issue is not about religion but rather a political one. They state that previously, Malaysians did not overreact as they’re doing today, especially on social media. However, with some political parties allegedly dividing the nation’s people, things are looking rather bleak. 

Others state that the original poster on X should be asking for repentance as she is siding with non-Muslims. The sentiment related to this issue is rather mixed as some are questioning the reaction towards this while others are angry.

Made-in-China Allah-brand socks insulting Islam? What about Allah sandals?

KUALA LUMPUR, March 24, 2024: No News Is Bad News found the above image posted on Facebook.

And the image featured this comment:

And this was in Johore, sandals with the Allah word and no fuss about it.

It seems only they could say anything about their Allah. Non Muslims must have no say. After all, I respect all religions as my belief is there is only one True GOD - our CREATOR !

Prayers of worships and offerings may differ from race to race, religion to religion only!

I truly do not believe there are different Thien Kong , Allah, Samy , or Tuhan or GOD the Almighty or whatever names we named HIM differ from different race or creed !

No News Is Bad News is refraining from further comments. We let the images do the talking.

And, the following was also posted on Facebook:

*Buddha* word on socks. No problem with Buddhist. In fact can be said that every step you take wearing this socks, Buddha will protect you.

As long as the word is not at the sole of feet, there is no disrespect.
So it takes wisdom to understand what is respect and disrespect.

KUALA LUMPUR: Religious affairs minister Na’im Mokhtar has urged the public to refrain from making derogatory remarks about religion on social media, as this would create hostilities in Malaysian society.

He said it is important for every member of the nation’s multicultural and multi-religious society to actively work towards fostering unity. They should leverage social media for this purpose.

“In the context of the Quran and Islam, it’s expressly forbidden for Muslims to insult others or their religions,” he told the media after officiating a Ramadan event of the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council.

Na’im also urged the public to prioritise national security and prevent actions that may strain ties or incite anger among the different religious communities.
