Who is this Tajuddin?
Okay I’m not trying kick up any fuss over religion matters but it seems that this Uztaz Tajuddin is doing more harm than good.
This Uztaz claimed to be the ex-head of all Catholics in Sabah, which realistically, he claimed to be an ex-Bishop by the name of Thomas Laiden and has converted to Muslim after discovering many errors in the Church.
Oh man. Actually I came across this article a few years back, in 2002 I think but never gave much thought about it since he was lying, how far does he think he can go based on a lie? Well, its 2006 now and Bishop John Lee recently issued a statement to the press, rejecting this guy’s claim and also, denying he was ever a priest, let alone “ketua paderi2 di Sabah”.
So I did a searched on the internet and was apalled that this lie is still going around and many Muslims were of-course overjoyed by this news as this was posted on forums and blogs, but sadly it’s all based on this man’s lie.
I mean, ya lah, people convert everyday, some into Muslims, some into Christianity, (and maybe the youngsters into Black metal 
) but to make big of your conversion by telling lies is a low-down.
What’s more surprising, my search didn’t show many pages denying this lie! So I just have to publish this since I am a strong Catholic, I know my faith and I want to defend my faith.
Anyway, there’s this longgg article by tajuddin, in it he argued many Catholic doctrines, including “the drinking of the Holy Water during baptism” 
. I don’t know which church he has been attending to - not only Catholics do this but all Christian churches, we baptise by immersing the body in water but not by drinking.
To Uztaz Tajuddin, please stop your lies. It will make your conversion even more less-credible.
Here are some links rejecting this man’s claim.
IKTIBAR KEPADA MEREKA YANG MUDAH TERPEDAYA.
Ustaz Tajuddin Othman Abdullah Benarkah apa yang dikatakan?
Bishop John Lee’s Press Statement
The Catholic Church in Sabah is deeply saddened by the malicious action of one so-called Ustaz Tajuddin Othman Abdullah who claimed to be a former Catholic priest by the name of Thomas Laiden serving in St. Mary’s Church in 1988. He also claimed to be currently attached to the so-called Unit Kristianologi of the Majlis Agama Islam Melaka.
For the information of the public, there is no such priest by the name of Thomas Laiden in the Catholic Church in Sabah. Whoever the individual is, his deceitful way of attacking the Church simply portrays a total ignorance and misinterpretation of the Catholic teachings.
We deplore the underhanded tactics used by the said bigot. His action would definitely not contribute to the harmonious setting of a multi-racial and multi-religious nation like ours.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Datuk John Lee, D.D.
Bishop of Kota Kinabalu

Like you am Catholic too….and greatly shocked by these lies by the so called Ust Tajuddin. Think he’s just looking for dirty-cheap publicity and gain something from it. Well…you know la here in Malaysia…some became rich for willingly betraying the very religion that promises salvation. Claiming that this foolish Ust Tajuddin was a bishop is really CHEAP!!! Must be a real FAKE!!! And those who believe him must be naive and just as STUPID!!!
Mr. “Tajuddin” …be aware that HELL is waiting for you when JUDGEMENT DAY arrives. So…shower yourself with CHEAP GAINS while you can!!!

Obvious this tahijuddin is cari pasal only. A real educated and holy man will never do such a thing. Kasihan tahijuddin, with that kind of attitude, this man is already disrespectable. He’s is not qualified to believe in any religions. Rejected soul!

Oh well… big liar..

Well! What needs to be done regarding this ‘Tajuddin’ is to rebut his story point by point. This rebuttal need to be done by a catholic
scholar and published in all the websites and blogs where his story appeared. It should be done both in Bahasa Malaysia and English to enable a wider cross section of Malaysians to get the right picture about catholics and the catholic faith.
April 4th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
Sorry, I didn’t know there was already a rebuttal made. Until I read the response made by catholic scholars above in Bahasa Malaysia. It’s a good rebuttal. And the other thing that could be done is to invite ‘Tajuddin’ to have a dialogue with catholic scholars so that he will get a better understanding of the catholic faith and its practices.If he responds,it shows he is indeed a real person. Otherwise, this indicates that it is just something fictitious done by a ghost writer to tarnish the image of the catholic church. And any magazines/periodicals etc. publishing such a story should retract and apologise or face legal action.

I pity this guy. Does Islam encourage lying? I don’t think so. Obviously God is not even on his side.

hi there ! I think this story recently resurfaced due to the number of murtad cases in the news. I have been browsing the net for conversion to catholicism stories and found it pretty interesting. Please check out too http://www.catholic.com if you ever needed to defend your religion.

Tahijudin is just a person who is so desperate for publicity. Sorry it doesn’t work in Sabah, all the genuine Sabahans regardless of race and beliefs don’t side him. Poor him, must be lonely.

I am a MUslim and I hate liars like Tajuddin. He actually uses this kind of stories to gather money from ignorant Muslims.
June 28th, 2007 at 7:59 am
Hmm I never came across this stuff. Very interesting. Guess people who are desperate do desperate things. He could at least study the Catholic ways if he really want to pull something off..
BTW, the second link about folks who rejected the man’s claim is no longer working.
