Malaysian ‘Islamic Officials’ in Daring Arrest of Teenage Girls – for Hugging

No prizes for guessing what (and who) dominates life in the Malaysian port city of Tawau

No prizes for guessing what (and who) dominates life in the Malaysian port city of Tawau


As the international mainstream media indulges in a frenetic orgy of messenger-shooting following the horrific attacks by a depraved psychopath in Norway last week, the repressive, mediaeval cult of Islam keeps on trucking:

Two teenage Muslim girls were arrested by state Islamic officials for hugging and kissing each other publicly in Tawau.

The girls aged 16 and 17 were detained along Jalan Pesisiran during an integrated operation by the Sabah Islamic Religious Affairs Department together with the Tawau Municipal Council on Tuesday.

The department’s officer Abdul Imam Basiron said the two girls faced charges under Section 83 of the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment 1995 that carries a maximum fine of RM1,000 (S$408.6) or jail of up to six months or both upon conviction.

Abdul Imam said during the operation they also detained three Muslim men aged between 20 and 60 for gambling.

They were caught buying 4D tickets at three premises.

During the operation, they also acted against two restaurants for displaying copies of the halal logo from other establishments.

He said restaurants were allowed to sell food to Muslims but they could not consume it within the premises during fasting hours.

He said the department would be conducting checks on Muslims who were not fasting during Ramadan.

Those caught could be charged under Section 58 of the enactment that carries a maximum fine of RM500 or up to six months’ jail or both upon conviction.

“an integrated operation by the Sabah Islamic Religious Affairs Department together with the Tawau Municipal Council”

Think about that for a moment.

This isn’t (despite what the lamestream media would be likely to claim if they ever stopped bashing the critics of Islam long enough to bother to cover such news) merely some over-zealous ‘misunderstanders of Islam’ at work. This is a fairly mild example of everyday reality for women and girls in Islamic countries.

Malaysia, often cited as the paradigm of a ‘progressive, moderate’ Islamic state, considers even innocuous affection between children to be against the doctrine of Islam.

Yet where is the supposedly compassionate voice of liberalism when it comes to speaking out against the plight of Muslim women and girls? Anyone?

Feminists, what do you think? Yes, we thought so.

    You might be suprised at how many of the voices against islamic doctrine are actually female.

    Not only Susanne Winters and E. Sabatisch-Wolf in Austria, or all those nice American bloggers, lots of people behind the organisation against shariah and for the manumission of women are also females.

    But most feminists do not consider it necessary to publicize “we are female”, simply because it is irrelevant.
    Everybody should be active against the plight of Muslim women and girls and children. Not just women.

    We refer to the uncomfortable silence emanating from the liberal feminism movement, which one would think, when not boycotting ‘Zionism’ and helping to ‘free Palestine’, would be busying itself with highlighting the plight of the victims of violent sexual jealousy, honour killings, extra-judicial punishment, rape and sexual abuse committed by Muslim men against Muslim and non-Muslim women (these kinds of offences are far more commonplace in Islamic societies).

    We invariably find this not to be the case, however.

    2 girls arrested for hugging.

    Sincere afection and love is against islam.

    2 men arrested for (obviously) legally buying lottery tickets from stores.

    Hope is against islam.

    Coming from an ultra-liberal like me: I’m 100% against the cruelties of Shariah law and active fighting against the mistreatment of women in middle eastern countries.
