Your experience in Kualalumpur would be very different from the images you have seen on TV.
Good food, warm weather, and quite enjoyable.
Northern states ( Kelantan) near the Thai border(Hatyai and Yalla) are more Muslim than Kualalumpur. I have been to all these places multiple times without an issue. That said, there have been a few incidents around Yalla. Kuallumpur should be quite safe.
I was in Kelantan (Kota Bharu) around the 2008 election. People were curious about the election and hoped that Obama would win.
Other Than Muslims, there are also Chinese, Buddhists and Christians, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians who live there.

You will have more to worry about some Cab drivers cheating you on your fare, or pick pockets in places such as the Central Market.
