PETALING JAYA: A Turkish journalist and writer who was invited to speak at a lecture on religions has been detained by Immigration officers at KL International Airport. It is not known whether Mustafa had given a statement to Jawi before he was stopped at KLIA. Dr Ahmad Farouk was also summoned by Jawi for allegedly abetting Mustafa, an offence under Section 43 of the same law. The US-based journalist has written on Islamic issues and politics for Turkish newspapers, the New York Times among others. His books include “Islam Without Extreme: A Muslim Case for Liberty”, which has been translated into Turkish, Bahasa Malaysia and Indonesia.
