“Moderate” Malaysia: Six Muslims get jail, fine for going to picnic at waterfall instead of Friday prayers

Dec 8, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

As with so many applications of Islamic law, we see here again that it is an empire of fear, with virtue enforced by draconian punishments that make people too afraid to step out of line. Behind the Islamic moral critique of the West is not genuine virtue, but people cringing in fear of getting arrested, or even of being lashed, getting their hands amputated, getting stoned to death, etc.

“Six Muslim men sentenced to jail, fine for going to waterfall instead of Friday prayers,” by Debra Chong, MalayMail, December 1, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 1 — In what is possibly the first case in the country, six male Muslims, including three teenagers, were sentenced to a month in jail and fined over RM2,000 for skipping out on Friday prayers last August 23.

Khairul Azle Abdul Rasid, 35; Abdul Malek Mohd, 25; Muhamad Hafizi Abdul Razak, 22; Muhammad Aliff Fikri A Mazzani, 19; and two unnamed 17-year-old boys were given the sentence by Syarie judge Nik Mohd Shahril Irwan Mat Yusof at the Hulu Terengganu Lower Shariah Court earlier today after pleading guilty to a charge of deliberately missing the compulsory Friday prayers, Harian Metro reported on its website….

According to the Malay daily, the six were accused of violating Section 16 of the Terengganu Syariah Criminal Enactment (Takzir) amendment 2016, which provides for a maximum jail sentence of two years, or a fine up to RM3,000 on those convicted.

While all six were ordered to be locked up one month, father of two Khairul Azle got the heftiest fine of RM2,500. The others who were all bachelors were each fined RM2,400.

Citing the charge sheet, Harian Metro reported the six to have committed the Islamic offence at the Sekayu Waterfall between 1pm and 1.50pm on August 23, 2019.

The six were reportedly busted during a raid by the Terengganu Islamic Religious Affairs Department.

Its female officers had entered the recreation area first for surveillance and found the six accused to be among several people picnicking with their families at the waterfall area instead of being at the mosque for their obligatory prayers that Friday….

    “Islam” is translated as “Submission”.
    There is, of course, no such thing as free-floating submission: it has to be submission TO something.
    The full translation is “Submission to Coercion”.

      “An empire of fear.”

      An excellent sobriquet for this ideology, Robert. The fear is almost omnipresent in Moslems, and often concealed.

    This is ludicrous, Can’t pray out in the open but have to go to an education centre for the afternoon prayers.
    A fine example of just how insecure Islam feels, to keep prole within the “faith” we will simply order them to go to the mosque.

    So much for “No compulsion to religion”. This is what a world under Islamic rule would be like, folks.

      Grimly true. And remember, Malaysia is “moderate”…
