Muslims praying in singapore, one of them in a army uniform with the taghooti flag. Can't judge too much because singapore forces men in their country to go for national service.

Take your time to read this. This might be though-provoking. But please DONT turn this into a social studies question. This is regarding the muslims in SOUTHEAST ASIA.
.
1- FAITH - Imaam ash-Shaafi’ie (d.204 Hijri) said:“There is consensus among the Sahaabah, the Taabi’een, and those who met them, who all said: Imaan is (1) sayings, (2) actions and (3) intentions, and none of these three can exist without the others.” (Majmoo’ al-Fataawaa, vol.7, p.209)
2- MUSLIM NATION - ‘ ‘On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar (RA), that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “I have been ordered to fight against the people until they testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and until they establish the salah and pay the zakat. And if they do that then they will have gained protection from me for their lives and property, unless [they commit acts that are punishable] in Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah.” - [Al-Bukhari (25) and Muslim (22)]
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled." - [9:29]
Imam al-Qurturbi (rh.a.) also said, “The Khilafah is the pillar upon which other pillars rest”. Imam an-Nawawi (rh.a.) said, “”(The scholars) consented that it is an obligation upon the Muslims to select a Khaleefah”. (Sharhu Sahih Muslim page 205 vol 12)
Ibn Taymiyyah (rh.a.) said, “”It is obligatory to know that the office in charge of commanding over the people (ie: the Khilafah post) is one of the greatest obligations of the Deen. In fact, their is no establishment of the Deen except by it….this is the opinion of the salaf, such as al-Fadl ibn ‘Iyaad, Ahmed ibn Hanbal and others”. (Siyaasah Shariyyah – chapter: ‘The obligation of adherence to the leadership’.) Imam abu ul-Hasan al-Mawardi (rh.a.) said, “The contract of the Imamah (leadership) for whoever is standing with it, is an obligation by Ijmaa’a (consensus)”. (al-Ahkam us-Sultaniyyah [Arabic] p 56.)
Narrated By Muawiya: I heard the Prophet saying, "A group of people amongst my followers will remain obedient to Allah's orders and they will not be harmed by anyone who will not help them or who will oppose them, till Allah's Order (the Last Day) comes upon them while they are still on the right path." [Sahih Bukhari (4/207) No. 3641]
3- COLONISATION - Shaykh Ahmad Shaakir (d. 1377H): So look, O Muslims, in all of the Islamic countries or the ones which claim to be Islamic, in all the parts of the Earth, to what your enemies from the missionaries and colonists have done to you! They have put upon the Muslims, laws of misguidance, which destroy the etiquettes and the Deen. European laws, which are idols, which were never based upon any Sharee’ah or Deen, rather they were based upon rules that were made by the Kuffar who refused to believe in the Messenger of their era, Isa, alayhi sallam.“So whatever complies and whatever contradicts; both are stuck in the mud of misguidance and it leads the one who follows it to the Fire and it is not allowed for a Muslim to be submissive to it or be pleased with it.” – “Umdaat At-Tafseer Mukhtaasir Tafseer Ibn Katheer of Ahmad Shaakir”, Vol. 3/214-215”
4- DEMOCRACY - Democracy is a man-made system, meaning rule by the people for the people. Thus it is contrary to Islam, because rule is for Allaah, the Most High, the Almighty, and it is not permissible to give legislative rights to any human being, no matter who he is.
“Have you seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaitan (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray.” (An-Nisa 4:60)
“But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission.” [Surah An-Nisa (4:65)]

“And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the kaafiroon (disbelievers)” Soorah Al-Ma’idah’ 5:44.
Also, see verses 5:45 and 5:47. In this issue, many people refer to the words of Ibn Abbas (RA) about this verse (5:44) that it, means minor Kufr which does not constitute apostasy. But the narration of the words of Ibn Abbas (RA) is weak because it came in one way through Hisham Ibn Hujjair whom was considered to be weak by Imam Ahmed, Yahya Ibn Ma’ean, Yahya Ibn Sa’ead and Al-Awqaily (Ad-Duafa Volume 4, Page 337). So, the truth about this issue and Allah knows best (Wa Allah A’alam), it is Major Kufr as it was narrated by Abdurazaq in his Tafseer, that Ma’Amr said Ibn Taw’wose said his father said Ibn Abbas (RA) was asked about this verse 5:44, and Ibn Abbas (RA) said: “it is Kufr”.

Ibn Kathir (rh) said: “So Whosoever abandons the wise Shariah which was revealed upon Muhammad ibn Abdullah, the seal of the prophets, and goes to other abrogated Shariah for judgment, he becomes a Kaafir. So how about the one who goes to al-Yaasiq (man-made law) for judgment and gives it precedence (over the Shariah of Muhammad (SAW). Whosoever does this has become a Kaafir by the Ijma of the Muslims.” [Al-Bidayah Wan-Nihayah, (Vol. 13, p119)]
He (RH) also said: “Thus, it has become in his sons a followed law to which they have been giving precedence over ruling by the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His messenger (SAW). Whoever does this is a Kaafir who must be FOUGHT until he returns to the rule of Allah and His messenger. So no one other than He should rule neither minorly or majorly” – Tafseer Ibn Kathir, Vol 2, p.67

CONCLUSION
Not just malays but the vast majority of muslims lack knowldge and understanding of islam in southeast asia. Thats why theres all these "modern" liberal, and moderate (which is actually ignorance today) rubbish all around the region. All they (MOST of them NOT ALL muslims) can do is call people radical and other ugly terms the kafirs made for them to utilise in order to fuel falsehood. That is why it is difficult to practise/learn and understand Islam especially in un/anti-islamic places like singapore.
It is authentically reported from Ibn Masood (radhiAllaahu anhu) as a saying of the Prophet sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), that he said:
“كيف أنتم إذا لبستكم فتنة يهرم فيها الكبير, ويربو فيها الصغير, ويتخذها الناس سنة, إذا ترك منها شيء” قيل: تركت السنة؟ قالوا: ومتى ذاك؟ قال: “إذا ذهبت علماؤكم, وكثرت قُراؤكم, وقَلَّت فقهاؤكم, وكَثُرت أمراؤكم, وقلَّتْ أمناؤكم, والتُمِسَتِ الدنيا بعمل الآخرة, وتُفُقهَ لغير الدين
“How will you be when a fitnah (calamity, i.e. innovation) engulfs you such that the adult will grow old (with it) and the youth will be raised upon it, and the people will take it as a Sunnah? So when any part of it (i.e. the innovation) is abandoned, it will be said: Have you abandoned the Sunnah?
They said: When will that be?
He said: (It will be) When your scholars have passed away, your reciters have increased, your Fuqahaa have become few, your leaders become many, your trusted ones decrease, the worldly life is sought after by (doing) the works of the Hereafter, and knowledge is sought for a reason other than the Religion.”
[Reported by ad-Daarimee (1/64) with two chains of narration, the first of which is authentic while the second is hasan. It is also reported by al-Haakim (4/514) and others]

Shaykh Naasiruddin al-Albani said regarding this hadeeth:
قلت: وهذا الحديث من أعلام نبوته صلى الله عليه وسلم وصدق رسالته, فإن كل فقرة من فقراته, قد تحقق في العصر الحاضر, ومن ذلك كثرة البدع وافتتان الناس بها حتى اتخذوها سنة, وجعلوها ديناً
?يُتَّبع, فإذا أعرض عنها أهل السنة حقيقة, إلى السنة الثابتة عنه صلى الله عليه وسلم قيل: تُركت السنة!
“I say: This hadeeth is one of the signs of his (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)’s Prophethood and the verity of his Messengership, for indeed every one of its portions has become actualized in this present time. From them is the spread of various innovations, which the people are tested with, such that they have taken them as a Sunnah and (part of the) Religion to be followed. So when the real Ahlus- Sunnah turn away from them towards the Sunnah, which is authentically established on the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), it will be said: ‘Has the Sunnah been abandoned?’” [Source: “Qiyaam al-Ramadaan” (The Night Prayer) by Shaykh Naasiruddin al-Albani (rahimahullaah), pages 4-5.]

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 88, Number 184: Narrated ‘Abdullah and Abu Musa: The Prophet said, “Near the establishment of the Hour there will be days during which Religious ignorance will spread, knowledge will be taken away (vanish) and there will be much Al-Harj, and Al-Harj means killing.”

What you need to know about extremism/radicalism
Regarding the Illusion of ‘moderate’Religion of today is nothing but a tool used by hypocrites and kuffar for self benefit amd entertainment. A tool that hangs from the branches of a modern secular society. Islam is something that cover all aspects of life, submitting all to Allaah. Politics, financial life, rituals, are all part of Islaam.
Only stupid retards who cant comprehend this resort to so called moderation by ignoring all aspects of islam. This is NOT moderation. Rather, this is ignorance.
Allaah gives the understanding of the Deen of Islam to whomever He wills. so How can a kafir and a muslim have the same understanding of Islam which they label as ‘moderate’.
-------
Some say: modernise your religion because 21 century is different from 1400 years ago sunnah (which is now considered extreme).
Allaah says: “And of them there are some who listen to you; but We have set veils on their hearts, so they understand it not, and deafness in their ears; if they see every one of the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) they will not believe therein; to the point that when they come to you to argue with you, the disbelievers say: “These are nothing but tales of the men of old.” (6:25)

The false creed of Modernism (religion "suited" in modern day society) & liberalism
Some would come up with this deviated concept of modernising the religion according to the modern day environment. This is what the christians did and became astray
“They have taken their rabbis and their monks as lords beside Allah and [they take as a lord] Al-Maseeh, `Eesaa, the son of Maryam, yet they were not commanded but to worship One God: None has the right to be worshipped but He – Praise and Glory to Him: [Far is He] from having the partners they associate [with Him]” (Qur’an 9:31)”
Imam ibnu Hajj [an alim(scholar) of ahl Sunnah wal jamaah] said in his Tafseer of the verse: “The bad scholars is what made the Shariyah of Isa(as) vanish, the people followed the rabbis and priest without any evidence indicating that their affairs were in the hands of the priest and rabbis,from the Friday till Sunday they (priest and rabbis) would renew the Deen for them (people) based upon what they think to be beneficial or harmful, or that which would be pleasing to the rulers. They (people) use to go out from the synagogues or churches saying they (priest and rabbis) had renewed the Deen for them and it is different from the week before. That was the disease which caused the disappearance of the Shariyah of Isa(as)” [Reported in Kitab al Madkhal volume 1 page 94]
.
Indeed the Prophet saws predicted some people of his ummah will follow their ways: Allah’s Messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: ‘You will indeed follow the ways of those before you, hand span by hand span, and an arms length after another. Even if they enter into a lizard’s hole, you will follow them.’ We (the Sahaba) asked, ‘Is it the Jews and the Christians?’ He replied, ‘Who else!’ – [Bukhari]

On the authority of `Adi Ibn Hatim (ra), it is reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah reciting this Qur’anic verse:” They have taken their rabbis and their monks as lords beside Allah and [they take as a lord] Al-Maseeh, `Eesaa, the son of Maryam, yet they were not commanded but to worship One God: None has the right to be worshipped but He – Praise and Glory to Him: [Far is He] from having the partners they associate [withHim]” (Qur’an 9:31)”
…and I said to him : “We don’t worship them.” He (SAWS) said: “Do they not forbid what Allah has permitted and do you not then forbid it (to yourselves), and do they not make permissible for you what Allah has forbidden, and do you not then make it permissible (to yourselves)?” I replied: “Certainly!” He said: “That is worshipping them.” (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, who graded it as Hasan)
.Indeed the Prophet saws predicted some people of his ummah will follow their ways: Allah’s Messenger (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: ‘You will indeed follow the ways of those before you, hand span by hand span, and an arms length after another.

so, 1400 years ago, Unbelievers used to say similar things.

Are we spreading hatred? Understand it Islamically.
As for spreading hatred, Al-Walaa wal Baraa is allegiance & disavowal for the sake of Allah (Azzawajal). We love what God loves and hate what God hates.
Like how the kuffaar and munafiqoon love what their (kufr) government loves(in general), and hate what their government hates. But for us (Muslims), God comes first. Sovereignty belongs to Allah (azzawajal) alone.
“And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe love Allah more (than anything else). If only those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is Severe in punishment.” (al-Baqarah, 2:165)
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, “Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship - [Surah Az-Zukhruf, 26]
The Messenger Muhammad (saw) also said: “The most powerful knot of Eemaan is to love for the sake of Allah and to hate for the sake of Allah.” (Ahmad, Aadaab us-Suhbah)
The Prophet(saw) said: “When Allah loves a servant, He calls Gabriel and says, ‘Verily I love so and so; you should also love him’, and Gabriel begins to love him. Then he(Gabriel) makes an announcement in the heaven saying, ‘Allah loves so and so, you should also love him’, and then the inhabitants of the heavens (the angels) also begin to love him and then there conferred honour upon him in the earth; and whenever Allah dislikes a servant of His, HE calls Gabriel and says, ‘I dislike so and so you should also dislike him’, and then Gabriel also dislikes him and then makes an announcement amongst the inhabitants of heaven, ‘Verily ALLAH dislike so and so, so you should dislike him’, and thus they also dislike him. Then he becomes the object of wrath of the earth also”. (Sahih Muslim (English translation) Vol. 4 pg1385 No.6373)

Scholars of singapore
singapore isn't the ONLY country with muslims/muslim scholars. Hence you can't expect the scholars (especially in such an un/anti-islamic society) to be the best of the best. Hence muslims in singapore should leave the religion of MUIS and PERGAS and come back to Islaam. See Qur'aan 62:5 to learn about these MUIS and PERGAS.
Abu Dhar said, “I was with the Prophet (SAW) one day and I heard him saying: “There is something I fear for my Ummah than the Dajjal.” It was then that I became afraid, so I said: “Oh Rasool Allah! Which thing is that?” He (SAW) said; “Misguided and astray scholars.” [Musnad Ahmad (5/145) No. 21334 and 21335]
Ibn Taymiyyah says: “A scholar who abandons what has learnt from the Quran and the Sunnah and follows a ruler who does not rule in accordance with the teaching of Allah and His Messenger is an apostate and a disbeliever who deserves punishment in this world and in the hereafter ” Fatawa Ibn Taymiyyah, Volume 35/373
Ibn Mas`ud was asked (by the people of Iraq), What is rashwa (taking bribes)? He replied, “This is suht (unlawful earning).” They said, “No, we meant in ruling.” He then said, “This is the very kufr.” Then he recited: “…And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are the Kafirun.” (Al-Ma’idah 5:44) [Tafsir al-Tabari (10/321) No. 11960, Tafsir Ibn Kathir (3/119)]
