The knock on the door

TMI - Former real estate agent sues Jais, says he was beaten when caught for close proximity


A former real estate agent today filed a suit against the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) for using physical force on him when he was arrested for close proximity, or khalwat, at his home in December 2006.

Hashim Mohd Said, 48, said that six Jais officers and two police personnel had burst into his home at the Seri Tanjung Apartment in USJ 16 at 4am when he was caught with his partner, who is a convert.

"They used a cane to beat me during the raid," he told reporters outside the Shah Alam Court Complex.

Hashim said that he sustained injuries all over his body including his face, and had to seek treatment at the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre and the Kuala Lumpur Hospital.


If the above is true then I need to say something about it.

It’s known “some people” love to hurt others. Give them a bit of power and whoosh, they’re off with their canes.

So we need to ask: was it necessary to whack someone found in close proximity? Or had the officers been jealous of the victim? Wakakaka.

Arab babe

Worse, in Brunei they can chop off your hands, execute you by stoning, etc all in the name of God, which means you can't question those punishments or the law officers who dispense them on the poor victims. And it won't help even if you appeal to the court, not when your hands have been amputated.

And PAS praises Brunei for fully implementing syariah.

But there’s little evidence that syariah laws have reduced crimes; au contraire they have been evidence such religious laws, because they can't be challenged, have sanctioned crimes by religious officers – for more, read my earlier post Little evidence of justice in hudud-ruled nations.

  2. You are exhibiting unfortunately typical ignorant non-Muslim attitudes towards the Islamic legal system.

    Do not confuse the Syariah legal system with the actions of a few rogue officers behaving brutally in the field. A proper Syariah legal system is a full-fledged judicial system with trained lawyers, learned judges who are fully cognizant of the requirements to administer impartial justice. It is in no way inferior to the Western judicial system.

    Law enforcement brutality and abuse of power occurs in many places - obvious from the number of reports in the alternative media, often suppressed in the MSM.

    It happens in "liberal democracies" such as US and UK. Ever heard of Alex Dugan, Jean Menezes, Rodney King and Michelle Jordan ?

    1. In the Rodney King case, there was a retrial with 2 police officers found guilty of using excessive force and sentenced to 32 months imprisonment. Hardly likely Saudi and Pakistani authorities would ever concede to for their wrongly punishment of victims.

      In the Jean Charles de Menezes case, which I blogged about in a few posts, it was the police who admitted they had made a mistake. While I had condemned the London police in my posts, I have to admit their mistake was made under extenuating circumstances in the immediate aftermath of the London bombing where they had believed Menezes was carrying a bomb. IT's not sufficient cause for their wrongful action but at least they were acting under a belief, wrongful as it was, unlike the Saudi syariah courts deliberately punishing a shiite minority who was in fact a victim of a rape.

      A subsequent inquest was held and Menezes family was compensated with an unreserved apology, both of which they accepted. This is in total contrast to the wicked behaviour of the Saudi syariah court in its persecution (not just prosecution) of the Qatif girl, just because she was a shiite minority and the 7 rapists were Sunnis who merely received light sentences, and the court's evil threats to increase the flogging of she appealed.

      There is NO check & balance in a cleric run court

    2. The Rodney King retrial was only forced after the Blacks went on a 6-Day Riot in Lost Angeles, where the US president had to call in reinforcements from the Federal US Army , as the Police and California National Guard had been overwhelmed.

      An independent Inquiry was called for the Charles Menezes killing only after Brazil applied serious diplomatic pressure. Initial Scotland Yard "internal investigation" had dismissed it as fully justified killing.

      Check and Balance ....pooof !

    3. As an ordinary citizen, I would NEVER NEVER ever want to live in a country with full Syariah laws ! Don't give a damn if their Islamic lawyers are "fully trained" or if their Islamic judges " learned" ! Worse still if I am a non-Sunni. Mampus lah aku ni.

    4. Salafi,
      How about a mediaval christian law? Better still Jewish one? Hahahaha!

    5. How about mediaval Christian law?

      This is 2014. Modern day Christians have jettisoned the blinkered barbarities of mediaval practices for hundreds of years already.

      Much of Muslimdom is still very much mired in the brutalities and barbarities of bygone centuries.

  3. Both Rodney King and Charles Menezes at least got recompense for being wrongly treated by the law.

    Victims of Sharia based injustice never got so much as an apology.

    " A proper Syariah legal system is a full-fledged judicial system with trained lawyers, learned judges who are fully cognizant of the requirements to administer impartial justice. It is in no way inferior to the Western judicial system. --- Well, that's nice to look at when described in high-faluting language like that, but in real, actual practice - uh huh - it just pooof!

  4. Quote: "Do not confuse the Syariah legal system with the actions of a few rogue officers behaving brutally in the field."

    Just a few?!!

    Enforcement of the Syariah code of conduct tends to attract not inconsiderable numbers of twisted individuals with an inflated sense of their own importance who derive sadistic pleasure in bullying and torturing those unfortunate, hapless people unlucky enough to come under their sway.

    Then there is another sizeable group who are clearly driven by disturbingly dark, sexual perversions whose members are extraordinarily gung-ho when it comes to khalwat-type raids and storming of brothels.

    Just a few rogue officers, you say?

    In Saudi Arabia, a Sunni majority Islamic country, and in Iran, a Shia dominant one, there are hordes, meaning too numerous to count, of religious police who routinely beat, assault and brutalize ordinary citizens for violating their interpretation of proper Islamic behaviour.

    And we are not even talking about the Taliban yet.
