Answer 1

No, malays don't use kemenyan, by the way it's called incense sticks in english. It's a misconception because Chinese use it to pay respect to their ancestors, you probably got confused. Actually, Malays don't really pay respect to ancestors, maybe they'll visit the graves of their loved ones but not on Raya or Haji. Because Raya and Haji are supposed to be a joyous occation and visiting a dead relative isn't exactly a happy thing. I think you're just confused.

But I must note that malays do use kemenyan, it is used by bomohs(healers, mystic men) that uses it for spiritual matters such as communicating with a jinn and such.

Answer 2

Muslims are dispicable. At least those in the middle east are.
