        "summary": "KL campaigning against Al-Arqam KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): The Malaysian government is to step up its campaign against the radical Islamic group Al-Arqam by pressing civil servants who are members to quit, officials said yesterday. The plan is part of a wider clampdown on Al-Arqam, accused by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad of wrongly preaching Islam and forming a militant wing to terrorize the country. Al-Arqam reportedly has 100,000 members of whom more than 7,000 are influential government workers.",
