- In "The Prohibition of Online Gambling in Indonesia: A Law and Economic Analysis" (Indonesia Law Review 14, no. 2 (2024)), Lewiandy (Faculty of Law, Universitas Tarumanagara, Indonesia) and others "analyze[] Indonesia's online gambling regulation framework from law and economic viewpoints. Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim nation, bans gambling for religious and moral reasons."
- In "Commentary: After two years as Malaysia's PM, it's still hard figuring out who the real Anwar Ibrahim is" (Channel News Asia, November 25, 2024), James Chin (Asia Institute Tasmania, University of Tasmania) argues that "[t]he middle ground for Malaysian politics is no longer a tolerant multiracial Malaysia but a conservative Malaysia with an Islamic outlook. The fear is that this will lead to sectarianism never seen before in Malaysian history and split the Muslim population more."
On Islam and Data Science - In "A case study of Muslims' perspectives of expanded terminal sedation:addressing the elephant in the room" (BMC Medical Ethics 25 (2024)), Elham H. Othman (Faculty of Nursing, Applied Science Private University, Amman, Jordan) and Mohammad R. AlOsta (School of Nursing, Zarqa University, Zarqa, Jordan) "describe a case of a Muslim palliative care nurse who cared for a patient with cancer who requested expanded terminal sedation." "The palliative care nurse described that his initial response to the expanded terminal sedation order was refusing to start the sedation because he believed the patient was not terminally ill and was concerned about killing him, which is prohibited according to his religious beliefs."
