When ‘Church’ is not a church

Source URL



A Facebook user had an unusual request for a fast food chain recently after he was perplexed that its dipping sauce had the word “Church” on it.

A post on the Texas Chicken Malaysia (TCM) FB page read: “Dear TCM Please do explain your dipping sauce brand, most customers are Muslim and we do not eat food from ‘Church’ brand.”

This resulted in a response from TCM, that explained to the worried customer that the brand “Church” was the surname of the founder and did not refer to any place of worship (church or gereja).

“Thank you for your query. Please be informed that the brand Texas Chicken was founded in San Antonio, Texas, by our founder George W. Church Sr.
“Church is his surname and the name of the brand is ‘Church’s Chicken’ in USA. Outside of USA, the brand is known as ‘Texas Chicken’.

“Hence, the word Church here is not used in a religious context and does not have any affiliation with ‘gereja’.”

The fast food chain’s response read that when it came to the dipping sauce, some of it was imported directly from America.

“This is so you get to enjoy the same great taste and quality that is synonymous with the brand anywhere in the world.

“Please rest assured that the sauces, food and ingredients in all our outlets have been certified halal by Jakim,” read the post, referring to Malaysia’s Islamic Development Department (Jakim), which monitors whether food is permissible according to Islamic principles.

The post has since been taken down, but is making the rounds on social media.
Most comments point out how silly the worry by the customer was.
Others asked for the name on the dipping sauce to be changed.

Malaysian gymnast gets brickbats for showing ‘aurat’, ‘vagina shape’ despite winning gold





KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 — Malaysian gymnast Farah Ann Abdul Hadi has received a slew of criticisms from Muslims who attacked her for showing her “aurat” and the “shape of her vagina” in a leotard despite winning a gold medal at the SEA Games.

Several Facebook users slammed the 21-year-old Malay woman on Buletin TV3’s Facebook page that had uploaded Wednesday a photograph of her in the gymnastics outfit, along with a caption that announced her winning gold in floor exercise in artistic gymnastics.

“Until she’s dead too people can see the shape of her vagina and aurat,” wrote a Facebook user called Muhammad Nur Salam.

Facebook user called Amir Muhd said: “Just strip off your clothes lah… let everyone see.”

Another Facebook user said Farah Ann’s dressing was even worse than non-Muslims’ in terms of showing her “aurat”.


“This is the joy of the temporal world...even though our afterlife will be full of pain from Allah swt, what is it compared to the medal hung around that neck if our spirit in the afterlife suffer one day later,” wrote Addieputra Jentayu.

Both Muslim women and men are prohibited in Islam from exposing their aurat, though criticisms are more often targeted against women.

Other Muslim Facebook users, however, have come to Farah Ann’s defence.

“So disgusting reading these religious comments from the so-called future members of heaven… just ignore them… Congratulations Farah Ann, it’s not easy to get a gold medal for Malaysia,” wrote Dina Nida.

A Facebook user called Siti Kasim congratulated the young athlete, saying: “Ignore those retards who can’t see beyond their limited brain capacity! Keep up the good work! We are proud of you!”

Singapore news website The New Paper reported that Farah Ann had pulled off a flawless floor routine to score 13.733, beating Indonesia and Vietnam.

The Malaysian athlete also reportedly won three bronze medals and a silver in individual events.

Malaysia to fall into ‘stupid state’ before Talibanism digs in, says activist Marina Mahathir


Source URL



KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 ― Pointing to the recent social media frenzy over the “vagina shape” of a champion Malaysian gymnast at the SEA Games, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir said the country was in greater danger of descending into stupidity before becoming a Taliban state.

The prominent social activist blamed the country’s political leaders for fuelling the pettiness of some Muslims who had panned gold medallist Farah Ann Abdul Hadi for purportedly showing her aurat with her figure-hugging sports attire.

“No, I don’t think we’ll be a Taliban state yet; we’ll be a stupid state first,” Marina said at a panel discussion at the Cooler Lumpur Festival here today, when asked if the public outrage indicates that Malaysia will become a Taliban state eventually.

“The trouble is, our top leadership, we do have small and petty-minded people. They see these leaders saying things ― ‘bocor’ lah, ‘ni lah’, crosses on ‘telekungs’ for instance ― nobody laughs at them.

“In another country, people would point at the politicians and say, ‘What a dumb thing to say’. But here they don’t,” she added.

National news agency Bernama reported Tuesday Sabah Community Development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Jainab Ahmad Ayid as reminding Muslims to beware of “telekung” (prayer garments for Muslim women) that have a cross pattern.

He reportedly claimed that this showed attempts to deviate Muslims from their faith, as the cross is the religious symbol for Christianity.

Marina also said today that those who call Farah Ann’s outfit “haram” (forbidden), despite the 21-year-old recently winning a gold medal in floor exercise at the SEA Games in Singapore, forget that it is also “haram” to humiliate people in public.

“Some people started talking about what she wore, ‘showing off her private parts’, but they don’t think it’s controversial to say that. They think it’s normal to do, then they’re shocked that people are telling them off,” said the eldest daughter of former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the panel discussion called “What would you write about if you weren’t afraid?”

Farah Ann has received a slew of criticisms from fellow Muslims who attacked her for showing her aurat and the “shape of her vagina” after Buletin TV3 uploaded Wednesday a photograph of her in a leotard on its Facebook page.

Both Muslim women and men are prohibited in Islam from exposing their aurat, though criticisms are more often targeted against women. The definition of the aurat, however, is debatable.

Other Muslim Facebook users, however, have come to Farah Ann’s defence and told the athlete to ignore her critics.

Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who is also Umno Youth chief, tweeted yesterday: “In gymnastics Farah wowed the judges and brought home gold. In her deeds only the Almighty judges her. Not you. Leave our athletes alone”.

Marina said today that people seem to fear diverse views and opinions about religion.

“People are scared of their own religions. They don’t want to learn more about it, they don’t want to express doubt. But it’s only when you have doubt that you start asking for more information. I find that’s the greatest fear,” said the activist.

The Nude Tourist Who Insulted Sabahans Was Never Actually In Malaysia To Begin With...

Source URL

Emil Kaminski, a Canadian mountain climber, is believed to be one of the 10 trekkers who disrobed on Mt. Kinabalu and triggered, as deemed by Malaysian authorities and locals, the 6.0-magnitude quake that rocked the Mt. Kinabalu on Friday, 5 June. Of the 10, four trekkers accused of taking nude photographs on Mt. Kinabalu have been jailed for 3 days from date of arrest and fined RM5,000 each.





However, it turns out, Emil Kaminski was not part of the 10 trekkers. In fact, he was not even in Malaysia when all this was happening! In other words, the Canadian nudist has been faking it since the start!

In a video titled "Mt. Kinabalu - The Naked Truth," Emil reveals that none of the photos of him being shared online are actually from Malaysia, and "most importantly", he says, "I wasn't even in Malaysia at the time," adding, "I did not claim to be in Malaysia at the time."

Emil, who runs travel blogging site Monkeetime, said that he was merely "trolling" the people of Malaysia. Describing the "virtual experience" in the YouTube video, he said he got "flared up" by politicians blaming the tourists for an earthquake that killed 18. Watch the full video here as Emil reveals how it faked it all:

Unmarried couples caned in Indonesia's Aceh

Source URL

Men and women, aged between 18 and 23, hit several times for being together alone in violation of province's strict law.



Three couples have been publicly caned in Indonesia's Aceh after the unmarried university students were caught spending time alone together in violation of the province's strict interpretation of Sharia.

A rowdy crowd of about 1,000 spectators shouted as the three men and three women, aged between 18 and 23, were lashed on Friday several times each with a rattan cane in a square in Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh.

A fourth woman, aged in her 40s, was also publicly caned for committing adultery. One of the women fainted after being caned four times and had to be carried off by officials.

"Hopefully those who are being caned will realise their mistakes and feel remorseful and repent to God so that they can become noble humans again," Ridwan, an official from the local sharia law office who goes by one name, said before the caning.

RELATED: The heavy hand of religious police in Aceh

Public caning is a common punishment in Aceh, which is the only province in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country that is allowed to implement Islamic sharia, but it is rare for women to be caned.

Gay sex, gambling and drinking alcohol are already punishable by caning in Aceh which began implementing sharia after being granted special autonomy in 2001, an effort by the central government in Jakarta to quell a long-running separatist rebellion.

A flurry of strict Islamic Sharia have been introduced in Aceh in recent years, drawing howls of protest from rights groups.

Just this week, Banda Aceh banned women from entertainment venues after 11pm unless they are accompanied by a husband or male family member and last month an Aceh district banned unmarried men and women from riding together on motorbikes.

More than 90 percent of Indonesians describe themselves as Muslim.

Calls for lifting of female curfew in Indonesia's Aceh

Source URL

Many working women hope Jakarta will reverse night-time restrictions and give them back their freedom of movement.



Activists in Indonesia are voicing their opposition to a partial curfew imposed on women earlier this month in Banda Aceh, the capital of Aceh province.

The provincial government says the new rule, which mandates that females working or visiting nightspots must return home by 11pm, is meant to protect women from sexual harassment and prevent them from being overworked.

But opponents of the regulation say the curfew not only takes away the basic freedom of movement but represses women who have to work night shifts to support their families.

Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen, reporting from Banda Aceh, said only a few women have dared to protest openly against the curfew rule, mainly because it was issued in the name of religion in a province that has a strict interpretation of Islamic law.

Samsidar, a woman activist in Aceh, told Al Jazeera the law is "clearly discriminatory" against women and contradicts the country's constitution.

Conflicting opinions

Iliza Saaduddin Djamal, mayor of Banda Aceh, defends the new rule, saying: "After 11 pm, places of entertainment are quite dangerous. There are many problems. ... If women work later than 11pm, it is not effective. By that time women should be able to rest."

However, Indonesian government ministers in Jakarta say they want to review the regulations in Aceh to see whether they breach the national constitution.

"Many women are affected by [the curfew law] because they work at night," Yohana Yembise, minister of women empowerment, told Al Jazeera.


"We need to review this and I will discuss this with our home minister because this is not the only regulation in Aceh violating gender equality."

In Banda Aceh these days, women are reprimanded for being outdoors after 9pm unaccompanied by their husbands or family members. Unmarried couples are arrested for kissing in the city's parks.

Violators can be punished by caning in public, like three unmarried couples who were recently caught.

While not all women are obeying the mayor's regulations, most cafes in the city are now filled with men only.

Many women are hoping that the government in Jakarta will reverse the rule and allow them to work and move around at night as they used to do.

Tudung vs miniskirts: Fashion or jihad?

A road billboard in Kelantan shows a Muslim woman in a tudung and baju kurung with the words: “Menjaga aurat adalah perintah Allah SWT” [Covering your ‘aurat’ is God’s commandment]. — Facebook pic

KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — A billboard in Kelantan shows a Muslim woman in a tudung and baju kurung with the words: “Menjaga aurat adalah perintah Allah SWT” [Covering your ‘aurat’ is God’s commandment].

The image of the signboard, which was shared by the Ipoh branch of Islamist group Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) on its Facebook page, illustrates how women’s bodies in Malaysia have become a battleground between the conservatives and the liberals, just like the opposing campaigns in the Arab world on the headscarf and the miniskirt.

UK news site BBC News reported recently that a campaign in Algeria has men determining what their female family members wear and arguing that the tudung, or the hijab as it’s called in Arab, protects women from unwanted attention.

The “Be a man” Facebook campaign, however, reportedly sparked a reaction from secular activists in neighbouring Tunisia, as they started an “international day of the miniskirt” campaign on the social networking site saying: “We must fight the pro-Islamists taking over”.

Although none here have embarked on such campaigns, the topic of how Muslim women dress themselves in Malaysia is a subject of much debate.

The latest controversy was sparked by social media criticism over the gymnastic leotard of SEA Games gold medallist Farah Ann Abdul Hadi, which allegedly showed off the 21-year-old Muslim athlete’s “aurat” and the “shape of her vagina”.

Conservative Muslim figures say women should cover themselves from head to toe, while liberal Muslims say hemlines don’t determine piety.

According to the beliefs of local politician Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud, a Malay leader in secular party DAP, Muslim women should be allowed to wear whatever they want, from knee-length skirts to even miniskirts.

“Letting men decide what women should wear is highly degrading. Women can decide for themselves what is good and what is bad,” said the young Dyana Sofya, who does not wear the headscarf.

Abdul Hakim Othman, spokesman of ultra-conservative Islamist group Hizbut Tahrir Malaysia (HTM) disagreed with the view, however, and said it is “haram” (forbidden) for Muslim women to wear miniskirts or anything similar in public.

“Muslim women must wear ‘khimar’ (cover from head to chest) and ‘jilbab’ (cover from neck to foot as one dress).

“This is the ‘hukum’ (divine rule) as stated in al-Quran,” Abdul Hakim told Malay Mail Online, citing Surah Al-Ahzab verse 59 and Surah An-Nur verse 31.

Like Abdul Hakim, Perak Mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria similarly said Muslim women must cover their entire bodies except for their face and hands.

“If she wears a tudung, people will respect her. It means she’s religious,” the Muslim cleric told Malay Mail Online.

“Miniskirts are not allowed [in Islam]; women can wear trousers, but they can’t be too tight,” he added.

Malay Mail Online reported last month that tudung brands are flourishing in Malaysia on the back of an increasingly conservative brand of Islam practised in the country.

Hijabsters, or hipsters who don the hijab, however have turned the headscarf into a fashion item.

Housewife Siti Noraini Mohd Kamarulzaman, who buys four to five headscarves every week, said it is compulsory in Islam to cover her “aurat” from head to toe, but noted that the hijab can be fashionable too.

“Fashion is very important to me. To me, wearing the hijab can also prevent rape and the like because it can prevent male desire from the ends of my hair to the soles of my feet,” the 24-year-old woman told Malay Mail Online.

Islamic Renaissance Front chairman Dr Ahmad Farouk Musa, however, said women’s dressing should not be blamed for sexual assault.

“I believe a woman has the right to choice of clothing, but this choice will have to be tempered with prevailing religious sensitivities because that’s where you live,” Ahmad Farouk told Malay Mail Online.

“I don’t think clothing reflects a person’s religious character,” he added.

Sisters in Islam communications officer Aliah Ali said women’s right to decide what to wear should be respected.

“Surah al-Baqarah (2:256) states that there shall be no compulsion in religion and this even applies to coercing, either both covering or removing covering,” Aliah told Malay Mail Online.

“The Quran, in Surah Al-A’raf (7:26) which reads, ‘We have revealed unto you raiment to conceal your shame, and splendid vesture, but the raiment of righteousness, that is the best’, shows to us that the best garment is one of righteousness.

A piece of clothing is not the ultimate reflection of piety,” the Muslim women’s rights activist added.

In Malaysia, however, what Muslim women wear has come to symbolise their religiosity – or the lack of it – according to conservatives who seek to impose their beliefs and dictate other people’s appearances.

Even men in sleeveless shirts will be denied service, RTD clarifies after woman made to wear sarong -



KUALA LUMPUR, June 9 — After a middle-aged, conservative-looking woman was denied service at a Road Transport Department (RTD) office for wearing a skirt deemed too revealing, the government department has published a dress code that prohibits even men from wearing sleeveless shirts.

The dress code was published on RTD’s Facebook page and Twitter account @JPJ_Malaysia after an uproar yesterday and a debate on all sides that seems to suggest that Malaysians remain divided along religious lines amid an increasingly conservative brand of Islam practised in the country.

The dress code published on RTD’s Facebook page.

The dress code published on RTD’s Facebook page.

Observers say that the incident of the RTD officers purportedly making the ethnic Chinese woman wear a full-length sarong in order to get service, who said she was at the RTD office for a vehicle ownership transfer, indicates creeping Islamisation in government departments whose workers are predominantly Malay-Muslim.

“Visitors must dress neatly, cleanly and in accordance with Malaysian practice,” the RTD dress code read.

“Practise decent dressing (T-shirts, collared T-shirts, shoes, long trousers, long skirts below the knee), especially during official business at offices at complexes.

“Visitors are prohibited from wearing indecent clothes or clothes that expose the flesh, such as the following: skirt lengths above the knee or shorts, sleeveless shirts, tight shorts or skirts and slippers,” it added.

RTD did not mention its reasons for the dress code.

A public relations officer with the department told The Star that the incident is currently being investigated.

“We are investigating when and where the incident happened. If we know where it happened, we want a report from that office," the officer was quoted saying in a report by the daily today.

Both Muslim women and men are prohibited in Islam from exposing their “aurat” (certain parts of the body).

The woman who had complained about the dress code on Facebook claimed that RTD officers told her they would not entertain her unless she wore the sarong.

Government departments and agencies regularly enforce dress codes and will refuse service or even entry to those who do not comply.
