Malaysia: Cops hunting for man who made video of himself stepping on a Qur’an

Feb 16, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Would cops be hunting for him if he stepped on a Bible? What do you think? Would he be hunted by police for stepping on a Qur’an if he lived in Europe or the United States? Why, of course. This is the age of restrictions on free expression under the guise of “hate speech.”

“Cops open probe over allegations man stepped on Quran,” by Mohd Farhaan Shah, The Star, February 15, 2020:

JOHOR BARU: Police have opened up an investigation over a viral video which shows a man stepping on the Quran.

Iskandar Puteri OCPD Asst Comm Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said that this came after a 34-year-old project manager lodged a report over the video at around 2.56pm on Thursday (Feb 13).

“The complainant was at work when he scrolled through his Facebook page and saw a posting made by his friend named Jen KL.

“The posting showed a man making a live video, which was recorded by Jen KL, showing the person intentionally stepping on the Quran on a bed, ” he said in a statement here on Saturday (Feb 15).

ACP Dzulkhairi added that the suspect was also apparently recorded insulting the religion.

“The case is being investigated and we are tracking down the suspect, ” he said, adding that police had classified the case under Section 295 of the Penal Code, Section 298 of the same Act and Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998.

ACP Dzulkhairi also advised the public to be careful in sharing or uploading videos on social media that touched on racial sensitivity, especially involving religion.

Religion is not a race.

    As short as I can make the comment: I started reading WWII history in military school during library study halls over 55 years ago. I figured it might help deal with the Soviet Union by learning what the Germans did wrong. Included in my reading of hundreds of books since, covering far more than the European area, I have read Rise and Fall of the Third Reich now 3 times. From my reading about dictatorial regimes what is being done today all over the world in the name of “islamophobia” is no different or more shocking than would be done under Hitler, Stalin, Mao or Kim for any PERCEIVED departure from the party line.

    Treating this suppression of basic human rights of free speech, religion and association as something new admits the absence of awareness that it is NOT NEW. So why is it allowed to continue by treating is as some kind of innovation? “Liberals” who are totalitarians by another phony label, don’t have the intellect to create anything new. They only know how to follow well worn pig tracks from the past. They will continue as long as we let them.

      By making something “new” it erases the past and prevents memories of those events from inspiring resistance to the threat when the same tactics are used again.
      Look at the actions of any dictator, from Nero through to Hitler, Stalin, John Howard, they are following the same script. And given what has happened in the past, this gives me grave concerns for my kids future.

        Keith, if there is a difference between then and now, I think it is that we have so many examples to teach us what is at risk and what may be possible to stop it. Jorge Santayana, “Those who cannot remember the lessons of the past are condemned to repeat them.” The Life of Reason (1905).

          And of course.

    There was an interesting Scientific Experiment that was conducted in 2018..

    Will a cat step on an Arabic quran to get food?
    islamic apologists posted a number of videos that “proved” that no cat would walk on the quran.

    It was the muslims who brought up the subject and so experiments were conducted to see if cats are afraid to walk on the quran.

    Contrary to islamic beliefs cats have no problem walking all over the quran.

    On You Tube

      FYI,

      We all know how muslims embrace factual, evidence-based logic (sarcasm/off)

      • FYI says

        Feb 16, 2020 at 1:36 pm

        You see how the muslims edit footage of a cat walking around the koran and say “look!The cat respects the koran by not walking on it.It’s a miracle”?

        After seeing a cat walk on the koran the muslims say “ah! but that’s not a 100% Arabic koran” so the experiment is repeated with 100% Arabic korans …and it gets even worse!

        The cat starts tearing at the pages.

        You could try the same trick with ANY book:it just shows dishonest and desperate islamic apologists are and how important it is to be critical of what you see.It did not seem to occur to some of those who were show the islamic “miracle” of a cat NOT walking on the koran that it might be deliberately edited to fool them.

        No Bible scholar would make such a silly claim that a cat would never walk on the Bible:it is not as if a cat even has any idea what a book even is.

        muslims use such deceit to “prove” what they know full well to be FALSE.

        Another example is to claim that the Word ‘Helper’ in Isaiah 42 refers to muhammed when in fact it refers to the Holy Spirit:besides what would a violently antisemitic mass-murderer of Jews be doing in a Book that comes from the God of Moses?

    Walking on a Koran? Big deal. If the pages were softer I’d use it to wipe my ass.
    Given the truth and validity of what’s on it’s pages, that’s all it is good for. Or maybe kindling.

    Without the use of violence or incarceration or at least the very real threat of both, there would be no Islam. At least not as we know it. People would become lax in it’s practice and worship. Prayer attendande would fall off. People would freely convert. They would say things to promote others to leave. They would not be so interested in keeping others “in line.”

    So, it makes absolute sense that the authorities in Muslim countries would use any measures necessary to keep their people suitably respectful.

    Just as the Berlin Wall kept East Berliners from escaping to freedom, these Islamic law enforcement officers are VERY serious about keeping the public reminded of the cost of doing or saying ANYTHING that would weaken the walls keeping Muslims in the tent, so to speak.

      Bob, please allow me to pass along a suggestion Indiana Tom passed to me months ago. The standard koran is published in the scrambled order of “longest chapter first” to make understanding and seeing changes that were made as it developed. I.T. suggested Bill Warner’s Simple Koran, which puts it in chronological order and Abridged Koran which removes repetition and “personal information” that does not apply to kuffar (plural of kafir, us-low life, worthless, sub-human infidels). Warner’s editing and commentary show much of the fabrication where “final” verses were replaced a number of times to “finally” produce the “final, complete, perfect and unchangeable” statement. The point is that when the period of selling in Mecca was totally unsuccessful, the shift to violence and conquest started in Medina, leading to the later “revelations” encouraging violence and conquest which appealed to the thieves and cut-throats of the day.

      Your conclusion was proven correct 1400 years ago. Frank

          Due to the formatting of the responses on these pages, I always feel hesitant to post quick, short replies. I wish there was an upvote feature to acknowledge and thank other posters for a friendly observation or comment like yours.

          Bob, my class of 1967 high school meets once a month for friendly and informative discussion. Here, we meet daily. Some of us are more friendly and aimed toward informing than others. The best chance the people we value have for a future that is not dominated and poisoned by islam (or for that matter any totalitarian control) is the kind of sharing and guidance you and I just illustrated.
