with one comment

You know they have enough to eat and more time on their hands than the universe allows when these oldy-doody men come up with shits like:

I ban your YOGA!

I ban you TOMBOI!

I ban you BLACK METAL!

i SAID! DON’T QUESTION OUR CREDIBILITY!!

buut….buuuuut…. if you read things like this carefully…

Q: So, this fatwa has not been gazetted?

A: This is only at the national muzakarah stage. Most fatwas are not gazetted.

Usually, we look at what the subject is. If it is a fatwa that involves aqidah (Islamic doctrine), it is gazetted. This is because it requires follow-up action by the authorities, especially with deviationist teachings, or extremist or militant movements, as these involve issues of security and will need legal action.

But not all fatwas are gazetted. In fact, not all fatwas have to be gazetted.

Q: But in this case?

A: The gazetting of this fatwa is up to the discretion of the State. We prefer to look at it as an issue of social ill that we can overcome through dakwah (propagation of Islam through words and action) and education.

There are already provisions in the law for cases that have gone to the point of sexual crimes – such as being an active lesbian.

This decision was only just recently made. The process of making a fatwa is quite unique. The national fatwa council is a council that is appointed by the Council of Rulers. It’s members are the muftis of all States and five experts who are recognised by Jakim and appointed by the Council of Rulers.

If it is a national issue, we will discuss it and then standardise the fatwa at the national level. But for it to be an official fatwa depends on the religious authorities in the respective states.

Q: So, are there any states that want to gazette this fatwa?

A: You’ll have to ask the respective state religious authorities.

But in our opinion, this is a social ill, whereby there are many other ways in which to address it (other than legal). Like using wisdom and harmony.”

What the above quoted passage means is that:

Nobody has to give a damn to what shitfucks they say because they cannot take legal action.

But coming from my 22-yrs experience of staying in Malaysia, they are still quite powerful. Haih… if we got more ppl who have their own minds (who think for themselves and not led by the nose by some so-called self-important religiously upright ppl) we probably won’t be the butt of jokes internationally.

Imagine, somewhere in Copenhagen, somebody wakes up, cup of coffee beside lappie and guffaws when he reads this headline: Malaysian Fatwa Council Bans Yoga for Muslims, Star Reports

And his response? “Well what’s next? They gonna stop wearing pants?”

Oh wait, hampir…hampir….. actually girls CANNOT wear pants here.

=D
