Malaysia: Muslim group calls for action against politician for criticizing anti-Valentine’s Day fatwa

Under Sharia, no dissenting voices are allowed. This is the sinister agenda behind “Islamophobia” campaigns in the West: to stigmatize and rule out of acceptable discourse even the slightest critical word about Sharia and even about jihad terror. With the willing compliance of the mainstream media, this campaign is well on its way to attaining its goals of silencing all criticism of Islam.

“Tony Pua Ticked Off For Chiding Fatwa On Valentine’s Day,” from Bernama, February 18 (thanks to Twostellas):

SHAH ALAM, Feb 18 (Bernama) — Selangor Perkasa has called for action to be taken against Selangor DAP chairman Tony Pua for allegedly chiding the National Fatwa Council’s edict forbidding Muslims from celebrating the Valentine’s Day, recently.

Its president, Abu Bakar Yahya said Pua’s remarks posted on his blog and Facebook were provocative as they could enrage Muslims.

“We cannot remain silent as Pua has insulted Muslims and his remarks might undermine harmony,” he told reporters after lodging a police report against Pua over the remarks at the Shah Alam police headquarters here today.

Abu Bakar said Pua not only rebuked the council for declaring the Valentine’s Day as haram (forbidden) but also ridiculed the Islamic Development Department.

“We hope Pua will not interfere in Islamic matters as we should respect each other religion,” he added.

    It’s forbidden to criticize Islam, but it’s okay to criticize other beliefs. When was the last time that Christians or Buddhists protested Ramadan? The word tolerance in not in the Islamic vocabulary.

    And we all know how enraged Muslims could act!

    Dear Tony Pua, non-Muslim Malaysian politician: the numbers are against you. However, we admire your bravery. Please consider upping stakes, packing up your family, and coming to Australia; we need all the Islamocritical folks we can get.

    Malaysia: Muslim group calls for action against politician for criticizing anti-Valentine’s Day fatwa
    ……………………………………

    Condemning Valentine’s Day = perfectly fine. Criticizing the criticism? That would be Haram…

    ……………………………………

    That’s *exactly* what this is intended to do. And the MSM in the West is enabling this, out of “political correctness”, and sometimes out of fear.

    ……………………………………

    Note the standards: no one can say anything that might “enrage Muslims”. That puts the thugs in charge.

    And why not? “Abu Bakar” Yahya is named for the horrific “Rightly-Guided” Caliph and “companion” of Muhammed who sold his little girl into marriage to the “Prophet” when she was just six years old.

    ……………………………………

    Grimly laughable—any questioning of Islam can “undermine harmony”—but only because touchy Muslims might become enraged.

    If the schoolyard bully threatened to go on a rampage if anyone dared mention fluffy kittens, then the mention of fluffy kitties could be said to “undermine harmony”…

    If anything is deserving of ridicule, this is it. Bravo, Tony Pua!

    Just laughable, given the oppression of Christians and Chinese in Malaysia.

    In Islam, that “respect” is *always* a one-way street.

    Here are more details on what Tony Pua had to say, from another teed-off Mohammedan:

    http://ahmadalijetplane.wordpress.com/2014/02/15/tony-pua-hina-khutbah-jumaat/

    So far, I like Tony Pua’s style—*and* his cheeky sense of humor.

    By the way, it looks as though Muslims in Malaysia have been trying to silence Tony Pua for a while now:
