JohnThomas Didymus A civil court in Malaysia has refused a woman permission to leave Islam to prevent her from being jailed for apostasy under Islamic Sharia law. The woman, Kamariah Ali, a member of the controversial
Sky Kingdom sect — also known as the
"teapot cult" — argued that she should not be tried under Muslim law because she is no more a Muslim. But the court countered her argument by holding that since she was born a Muslim, she would have to apply to the Islamic courts system to fully renounce her Muslim faith and that the Islamic courts could, thus, still jail her under Muslim law.

Malaysian Teapot Worship - The Ayah Pin Cult : Ayah Pin founded the commune in 1975, claiming himself to be the reincarnation of the god of Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam:
I am the boss of all religions. When I was 10, the people from the Sky Kingdom came to me and gave me the power to save humanity irrespective of race or religion.
The cult had no specific teachings of its own; rather it allowed members to follow any religion of their choice, even catering for the beliefs of the indigenous Malaysian people, the Orang Asli. Ayah Pin answered all prayers as the one god.
