Has Karpal “Islamic state over my dead body” Singh died?

Last we checked, the man still lives so it is indeed surprising to find PAS announcing the formation of a technical committee (see http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/Committeeonhudud/Article) to study the possibility of implementing the hudud in the Kelantan without so much as a whimper from the so-called Tiger of Jelutong.

Oh yes! This is probably because Karpal “Islamic state over my dead body” Singh was present at the September 29 meeting where PAS, DAP and PKR agreed to defend Pakatan Rakyat’s agreed positions but “respect” each other’s differences – one of them being the hudud issue. Continue reading →

War is on its way in the Middle East as Muslim countries are determined to force a showdown over the future of Israel, Ronald Reagan’s assistant defense secretary Frank Gaffney warned in an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview.

“I’m afraid there’s a war coming, a very serious, perhaps cataclysmic regional war,” he said. “It will be presumably over, at least in part, the future existence of the state of Israel. It may involve all of its neighbors, as they have in the past, attacking Israel to try, as they say, to drive the Jews into the sea.

“It may involve the use of nuclear weapons,” Gaffney predicted. “But whatever form it takes and whenever it occurs, it is unlikely to be contained to that region, and we must do everything we can to prevent freedom’s enemies from thinking they have an opportunity to engage in that kind of warfare.”

That means standing “absolutely, unmistakably” as one with Israel and doing everything to prevent Iran getting its hands on nuclear weapons.

Gaffney, who now heads up the nonprofit Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., was speaking on the day that the “moderate” Islamist party Ennahda claimed victory at the ballot box in Tunisia and the day after Libya’s new rulers declared that country will be run on Islamic principles and under Sharia law.

PAS has again rejected plans for a cinema in Section 15, Bangi, saying there will be films not in line with Islamic and eastern values.

Bangi residents who want to watch a movie have to travel 18km away to the nearest cinema in Alamanda Putrajaya in Putrajaya or 25km away to the Aeon Cheras Selatan Shopping Centre in Balakong.

Dissapointed lot: Residents Satia Nathan, William Wong, Hoh Kok Wong, Tan Siew Giok and Edwin Goh protesting against the rejection of plans for a cinema in Bangi.

Kampung Aman Bangi Federal Village Security and Development Committee (JKKKP) member Law Siong Deng, an avid moviegoer, said he had looked forward to finally having a cinema in Bangi and was disappointed when he found out that it had not been approved

“I had always hoped for a cinema here so that we do not have to travel far. It can cater to the students of UKM, Mara and other education institutions in the area.

“There was a cinema in Warta but only Malay movies were screened. We hope that companies like GSC or TGV would set up a branch here and provide more variety for cinema-goers,” he said. Continue reading →

That PAS is insistent on its Islamic state agenda should not surprise anyone, since the very fundamental reason it was set up way back in the 1950s was to work for the creation of a government administration based on the spiritual, doctrinal, theological, moral and ethical precepts of Islam.

What should really surprise us is the fact that the party has apparently soften its previously preceived uncompromising adherence to a firm policy without the readily perceived prudence for the feelings and sensitivities of the non-Muslim citizens of the multi-racial, multi-religious, and multi-cultural nation. This is obvious from the fact that it is seen as even prepared to readjust its foundational ideological stance of wanting a full-fledged Islamic governing state to adopt a seemingly watered-down welfare state administration. The new direction, albeit considered a pragmatic political conveniency by many people, was approved and adopted its national general assembly earlier in 2011.

But the so-called new political pragmatism of PAS is, for all intent and purpose, a mere illusion. Continue reading →

Sticking true to its intolerant and heavily hard-line Islamist principles, PAS has demanded that Perak Menteri Besar ban a full moon beach party to be organized by the Pangkor Island Beach Resort on the 7th and 8th of October.

Why?

Because the event is also host to the Malaysian leg of the Miss Bikini Hawaii World 2011 contest!!

Expressing his “shock”, PAS member and Secretary of the Dewan Pemuda PAS Perak Salman Saleh said that the event had “no morals” and had to be banned immediately. See full news report here: http://bit.ly/ovAQIr

Going by this, if PAS ever became part of Government they’ll probably ban low cut dresses, shorts, bikinis and thongs from being sold.

The mandatory national dress for women: Anything as long as we cannot see your face and skin.
