I refer to the Malaysiakini report Stay away from book on Muslim women, Muslims advised. What a simplistic, myopic advice coming from Jakim.
 
‘Hence, Muslims in the country are advised to be wary of reading materials which contravene Islamic teachings.’

Excuse me Mr Director-General, please get this clearly into your mind : being ‘muslimah’ ourselves, we are as clear about things contravening Islam as those that don’t.

We are clear of the contents of divine revelations, principally and philosophically as well as its abundance of life wisdom and sanctity, as stipulated in the Holy Book, the Quran.

In the same breath, we say we are clear and aware of those man-made interpretations/edicts and even the thousands of hadith traditions and the writings of its lines of narrations, which will never be absolutely free from human fallibility.

Since we just cannot compare the Almighty God of the entire universe against human beings who are mere mortals, hence we can witness contradictions, inconsistencies and the inability to adjust to the different eras and thus the different needs of human civilisations in those human thoughts of religious legislation/rules/laws of God’s revelations.
 
Or else how would you explain about the existence of different schools of thoughts, notably the four main ones, also known as mazhab, of Syafi’e, Hanafi, Maliki and Hanbali?

Can we rightly say among these four imams of ‘mazhab’, who is more acceptable in the ‘eyes’ of Allah or who is less acceptable, hence a lesser degree in submission or faith towards Allah?

Heck no, we just do not want to bother with those differences. Reason being we have the Divine Quran as our primary guide and the foundation of faith in our quest to take charge of our journey towards submission to the only One God, the Creator and Sole Owner of the whole universe for it is He who determines our final destiny in life and the hereafter whether to heaven or to hell.
