Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Malaysian rapper detained by police over dog video considered insulting to Islam

Feb 24, 2018 8:16 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In keeping with Islamic jurisprudence, there is no fun in Islam, no pluralism, no personal expression allowed that is deemed to be offensive, which includes dogs:

Malaysian police said a popular ethnic Chinese rapper has been detained over complaints that his latest music video featuring dancers wearing dog masks and performing “obscene” moves insulted Islam and could hurt racial harmony.

His video was to commemorate the Chinese Year of the Dog. How “racial harmony” fits in is a mystery, but “insulting Islam” has now become synonymous with “racism,” a conflation that is an easy method to drive the supremacist agenda of offence, “Islamophobia” and ultimately, blasphemy.

The hatred of dogs in Islam is embedded in Islamic doctrine:

Once Gabriel promised the Prophet (that he would visit him, but Gabriel did not come) and later on he said, ” We, angels, do not enter a house which contains a picture or a dog.” (Bukhari 4.54.50)

Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert. (Sahih Muslim 3811)

Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: “What about them, i. e. about other dogs?” and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: “When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” (Sahih Muslim 551)

Just recently, businesses in Malaysia stopped displaying images of dogs on decorations and souvenirs for the Chinese Year of the Dog because of fears of upsetting Muslims.

“Malaysian rapper’s dog video sparks claim of insulting Islam”, Associated Press, February 22, 2018:

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysian police said a popular ethnic Chinese rapper has been detained over complaints that his latest music video featuring dancers wearing dog masks and performing “obscene” moves insulted Islam and could hurt racial harmony.

It was the second time in two years that Wee Meng Chee, popularly known as Namewee, has been investigated over his music videos.

Police said in a statement that Wee was detained Thursday after they received four public complaints that his video marking the Chinese year of the dog had “insulted Islam and could negatively impact racial unity and harmony.”

In the video entitled “Like a Dog,” Wee sits on a chair in a public square in the government administrative capital of Putrajaya with dancers wearing dog masks around him. Several of them mimic the “doggy-style” sex move. A green domed building in the background led some people to speculate it was filmed in front of a mosque, leading to criticism, but Wee later said it was the prime minister’s office.

The song includes the sounds of dog barks from various countries. In an apparent reference to government corruption, Wee sings that dogs in Malaysia go “mari mari, wang wang,” which in the Malay language means “come come, money money.”

Dogs are considered unclean by Muslims, who account for 60 percent of Malaysia’s 32 million people.

Several ministers have called for Wee to be arrested. He has defended the video as a form of entertainment and said he has no intention of disrespecting any race or religion……

    Those who would deliberately harm a dog will also deliberately harm a human being. Hmmm. Muslims are instructed to do both under many circumstances and thus certainly constitute no exception to this rule. Indeed, they fulfill it again and again and again.

      No matter what it is, it’s always prescribed, accepted, or forbidden by Islam – the ultimate narcissism.

    In the West, young boys that torture animals, are believed to be starting out on a long road that ends in depravity. Many behavioral problems criminals have, were first exhibited in cruelty to animals, such as dogs and cats.

    • Save Europe says

      ….meanwhile in the Muslim world both bestiality and animal cruelty is both endorsed and permitted.

    Evil is monotonous, repetitive, confining. Good is expansive, creative, freeing.

    Islam is a joyless death cult built of lying and perversion.

    I hope the world starts seeing it for what it is and starts really rejecting misery and choosing good.

    The best way to appreciate Wee is to think of him as a modern version of an old Court Jester from centuries ago in Europe. Wee will live to see another day but all too many Malaysians, of all backgrounds, are finding themselves falling foul of the law on the most trivial of grounds. The problem here is that the Prime Minister is looking to be in very serious trouble with regards to the suspected theft of billions of dollars of Infrastructure Funds that ought to have been solely for the benefit of the Malaysian People. The government seems to think that no-one outside of the country will make a fuss since Malaysia is a strong link in the regional strategy by smaller nations to stand up to the current Chinese quest for expanded influence. Of particular concern is the current Malaysian Governments dangerous ‘playing’ of the Islamic Card and going to unacceptable lengths to keep happy the supremacist sentiments in the region. People should be watching events in Malaysia carefully especially as a General Election is immanent and opposition parties are being harassed in a disgraceful display of raw power by the Ruling Party of the Malaysian Prime Minister.

    Rap ‘music’ should be considered a criminal offence in all countries, with or without a dog. And that’s just the start. Hip-hop will be short on rap’s heels. No more execrable music in shops, shopping centres and the gym – what bliss.

    WHO CARES, anything which is not Islamic is an insult to Muslims. Islam is an insult to all of us.

    Like Indonesia shows moderate Islamic country on the way to Islamization. In Fact moderate Islam is out of the frame of Orthodox Islam, therefore Unislamic. Some Sufi promoted moderate Islam. They are prohibited in Saudi Arabia and gunned down in Pakistam. Islam is an inversion of monotheism as practized by Judaism and Christianity. Hence Salam does not mean Shalom but war cultural or military against non Muslims.
