PKR’s alliance with PAS is as problematic as it is pragmatic.
PAS has often maintained that many of its proposals are aimed only at Muslims. Therefore, when the party wants to introduce its version of Islamic criminal law, it assures non-Muslims that they will not be affected. Neither will they be affected by any possibility of public whippings once the Kelantan government gets round to implementing it.
Besides, the PAS leaders are holy men who know what God wants and what they propose are all Islamic laws.
The non-Muslims had best not get involved at all. And Muslims should not oppose the proposals in any way either, because to do so would mean you are not a good Muslim or are even an infidel. Then you will burn in hell.

In other words, let’s all sit back and let PAS do whatever they want. They know best. They are holier than we miserable sinners anyway.
I have always found such an attitude repulsive.

I don’t care if it is being made by your run-of-the-mill secular despot or those who cloak themselves in supposed religiosity. Anything that has an effect on the lives of the people in a democracy should and must be debated by anyone who wants to. Otherwise, it is not a democracy. [...]
... , they say again and again that many of their proposals will affect only Muslims. [...]
The recent attack on a beer festival to be held in the capital next month is a case in point. Thinly veiled threats about how the event will lead to “extremist behaviour” abound, along with uninformed claims that the festival will lead to rapes and a variety of other vices.
The PAS leaders acknowledge that the event will only be for non-Muslims. But how can you guarantee Muslims won’t attend, they scream. Also, the event will make Muslims angry. So shut it down.

So, the party’s religion-based acts will not affect non-Muslims, huh?
Pull the other one, mate. When people have power, they will use it and they will use it on anyone they choose. It doesn’t matter if you are a run-of-the-mill secular tin-pot dictator or if you clothe yourself in the garbs of religiosity.
This is the face of PAS.

What I have already written in my post Beer, as follows:
The Better Beer Festival will be an example of how syariah laws, Alhamdulillah not yet implemented, will affect non-Muslim lives, regardless of whether they like it or not. The threat by PAS Youth is irrevocable evidence of that unwelcome intrusion.
This is why we non-Muslims must be vigilant and not fall for PAS sweet-nothing.
Syariah laws and hudud punishment (eg. PAS proposed amendments to UUD355) will definitely affect us because some Muslims especially the mullahs and supporters of PAS will continue to be intrusive into non-Muslim affairs as ever.
As Prof Azmi Sharon has just said:

Thus we need more beer, wakakaka.
"Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God". ~ Galatians 5:19-21
ReplyDeletePlease note the word "warn" is used twice. Happy drinking and enjoy for not inheriting the kingdom of God. Perhaps, Azmi Sharom and his learned spouse should too. Go tell PAS - An imposing brand of "democracy" your cock!
warn is ok, but i think they sound more than warn.
DeleteIslam is the religion of the Federation.
ReplyDeleteActivities which are disrespectful of Islam should be proscribed from being carried out in places accessible to the public.
I would include a celebration of unfettered beer drinking in that category.
What you do in private is your own business, but not so in an open, public space.
have to buy ticket one la, what public space r u talking abt?
DeleteRules governing public behaviour typically includes privately-owned premises which are generally open to anyone from the public who is willing to pay for a ticket, a meal, a drink or browse items which are offered for sale.
DeleteSo this covers places like cinemas, restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, most retail shops, pubs and, yes, the Beer Festival.
In the very liberal Canada, in most localities, other than alcohol-licensed premises, you are not allowed to consume beer or other alcohol in a public place.
and yet PAS dares to say UUD355 won't affect non-Muslims - they forgot to add, "ONLY if non-Muslims conform strictly to Islamic requirements"
Deletewarrior, lets review yr first comment "What you do in private is your own business, but not so in an open, public space". n now u alter the public place into "places like cinemas, restaurants, cafes, shopping malls, most retail shops, pubs", then my question to u is how serving of alcohol in restaurant, café, pub is deemed as disrespectful when the muslim and non muslim are offered the freedom to choose, unless the law say otherwise. n what about casino that pronounce muslim r prohibited to enter, similarly when the beer festival clearly stated this is a event for non muslim only, thus your assertion is to me a kind of violation of personal freedom.
Deletei respect your rights to share us your view and opinion, however i believe the current law and climate still grant us the freedom to act as we wish to wrt drinking beer in NOT a public space, until there is enough support to change the law, or bn govt concede to it, and of course pas can always announce their want in the coming election manifesto.
