Japanese Policy Towards Islam in Malaya During the Occupation: A Reassessment
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2002

Based on surviving local records, this essay argues that after 1943 Japanese policy towards Islam underwent far-reaching changes when the faith, religious elites and religious edifices were incorporated into the Japanese propaganda machinery for the purpose of winning a war in which neither Islam nor Malay-Muslims had any vested interest.
