The ‘holy month’ of Ramadan — which takes place roughly during the month of August — is fast approaching, and Muslims in Malaysia and elsewhere are eagerly preparing for it. One way the Muslims are doing precisely that in the Malaysian state of Kedah is that the Muslim authorities have issued a pre-emptive, sweeping shutdown decree in advance affecting 13 different types of “entertainment establishments” in the state. These “entertainment establishments” include restaurants. And this decree is not just for the Muslims, mind you, but for everyone and every concern in the state of Kedah, both believer and kufr alike. The livelihoods and wishes of the so-called infidels matter not at all. From “Ban violates human rights of non-Muslims, says Chua” in The Star, 14 July 2011:
PETALING JAYA: The move by the Kedah government to stop 13 types of entertainment outlets from operating during the Ramadan month violates
the human rights of non-Muslims, MCA Young Professionals Bureau chief
Chua Tee Yong said.
He said non-Muslims had the absolute freedom and rights to visit these entertainment outlets.
“This policy is not only disrespectful of the non-Muslims but it will also affect their livelihood,” he said in a statement yesterday.
He said Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak should explain the matter while the DAP must also protect the interests of the non-Muslims by ensuring that such an unfair policy was abolished.
It was reported that the Kedah government had prohibited entertainment outlet operators from renewing their monthly licence and operating during the fasting month.
The state government also restricted the opening hours of restaurant chains, which are only allowed to open after 3pm during the fasting month.
“PAS has always claimed that its policies only apply to Muslims but such a move has definitely violated the human rights of non-Muslims, as provided for under the Constitution. Can the party still say that its policies will not affect the non-Muslims?
“This shows that PAS has never given up on forming an Islamic state,” Chua said, adding that he is worried that other Pakatan Rakyat-run state governments will follow suit to show their consistencies in their implementations.
No, PAS, which is part of the political opposition, have most certainly not give up their plans for an Islamic state in Malaysia, one totally compliant with barbarous Sharia. Why would they?
Usually MCA, which is one of the dhimmi auxiliaries of the ruling
party, the Malay-Muslim political entity called UMNO, can be relied upon to faithfully follow the orders of their Muslim overlords. The fact that MCA is attempting to speak for the rights of their infidel brothers, even in this tactically limited fashion, is noteworthy. Almost certainly the effort is doomed to fail before it even gets off the ground, but yes, such efforts are rare in Malaysia.
Note that the organization called MCA is making its challenge in a rather obsequious manner, by ‘requesting’ clarification and ‘urging’ various so-and-so’s to ‘look into’ the matter. This is an acknowledgment of the blatantly obvious fact that Muslims rule supreme, and any challenge to their rule, or to Islam, or to Shariah, no matter how limited or reasonable, could carry severe consequences — for the infidels of course. MCA knows it’s their necks (politically or perhaps even physically) on the line, not the Muslims of PAS.
And speaking of PAS, they are indeed part of the opposition. Hence, if the opposition in Malaysia advances to power in the national government, as is possible in the next general election, they will be in a position to make decrees like this Ramadan proclamation for the entire country. And if UMNO stays in power, Islam will also advance. So you see, it matters not if UMNO or the opposition in Malaysia is in power; Islam continues its advance in this country regardless.
And let us not forget one last thing. This affair shows that Shariah, a system of tyranny and a comprehensive violation of human rights unlike the world has ever seen, a system that Muslims assure us is solely reserved for Muslims, is inevitably imposed on the rest of us. It is always imposed by those very same Muslims the moment they are in a political position to do so.
