Malaysia: Teen faces sedition probe for liking “I love Israel” FB page

Aug 13, 2014 5:40 pm By Robert Spencer

loveIsrael-FB2_840_457_100How can the Malaysian authorities possibly consider support for Israel to be “sedition”? Because they consider themselves to be part of the Islamic nation, which considers Israel to be its foremost enemy, as per the Qur’an’s designation of the Jews as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82).

“Penang teen who ‘liked’ ‘I love Israel’ Facebook page under sedition probe,” by Opalyn Mok, Malay Mail Online, August 13, 2014:

NIBONG TEBAL, Aug 13 — A Form Five student who was threatened with immolation for allegedly liking an “I love Israel” Facebook page is now under investigation for sedition.

The 17-year-old who sought police aid two days ago was called in for questioning today by the South Seberang Perai police.

“We are investigating him under Section 4 (1) (a) of the Sedition Act,” Penang police chief Datuk Abdul Rahim Hanafi told reporters at the South Seberang Perai district police headquarters Hari Raya open house here.

“In his statement, he claimed that he had accidentally clicked ‘like’ on the page,” he said, referring to the teen’s recorded statement.

Abdul Rahim added that the police had questioned yesterday a teacher from the same school as the student who had allegedly linked the teen to the “I love Israel” Facebook page.

The sedition law prescribes a maximum fine of RM5,000 or a jail sentence of three years for a convicted first-time offender, or both, and raises the jail term to five years for subsequent offences.

The fifth former filed a police report after a teacher from his school allegedly circulated a screen captured image of the controversial post, which prompted attacks from other Facebook users to cut off ties with the student and to “boycott”.

Another teacher purportedly from the same school, went a step further, leaving on the first teacher’s Facebook page that is accessible only to friends a message that read: “Kita bakor je hahaha [We just burn hahaha]”.

South Seberang Perai district police chief ACP Shafein Mamat said more teachers and students from the boy’s school will be called to give their statements.

“We are investigating both aspects, one of him liking the controversial page and another on the threats against him,” Shafein said.

The student has since deactivated his Facebook account.

      Please refer to this article:-
      http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/penang-education-unit-blames-student-teacher-for-i-love-israel-fracas

      It is the latest update of the “I love israel” case.

      Please pay attention to :-

      [The Penang education department has blamed the student and teacher for the “I Love Israel” Facebook fiasco, which has resulted in a sedition probe by the police.

      It director Osman Hussain said the Form Five student was wrong, as he should have understood the sensitivity surrounding Israel in the country.

      He also said the teacher, who posted about her student’s Facebook “like” on her page, should not have done it.]

      *Osman Hussain said the Form Five student was wrong, as he should have understood the sensitivity surrounding Israel in the country.*
      “Both of them are going to be hauled up for counselling after the police concluded its investigation into the case.

      BOY = WRONG
      TEACHER = CORRECT

    Islam o-fascism
    We must own this descriptive.
    I want to say that I am Islamaphobic but it isn’t a good descriptive because a phobia is an irrational fear. My fear is not irrational. I have all the empirical evidence and good reason to be fearful of Islam o fascism (theocratic fascism).

    Islamafear may be a good one. Any suggestions.
