Stupidity - Exhibit A

I was somehow taken aback with a comment by a MCA central committee member regarding Hudud. Read more here http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2009/1/16/southneast/3017955&sec=southneast


It shows how ignorant, lame and insensitive MCA leaders can be towards the feeling of Muslims in this country. It is just a blatant statement meant to belittle Islam in the eyes of non-Muslim in Malaysia. The saddest thing is what he is talking about is mere crap and it's an interpretation of Islamic laws from his point of view.


I can fully understand when Karpal Singh is against implementing Hudud laws just because Malaysia is a secular country. So it must abide to the law of the land that is common law. That's a fact. But I never came across any of his statement that belittles Hudud or Islamic law in particular. His statements are all about not being able to implement it from constitutional point of view.


For a MCA leader to come out with such a statement saying rapist will go free if Hudud is implemented, it just puzzles me how certain lawyers interpret Islamic laws from their own perspective just to gain political mileage without even considering the feelings of Muslims. This is disrespectful!


His statement shows that as if there is a big "flaw" in Islamic laws. First of all, I don't think any sane human being would want to implement this law if it truly has such a "flaw" in it. This also shows he only knows the surface of Islamic laws. Hudud can't be viewed as a stand alone law. Under Islamic law, it must viewed as a whole which includes Hudud, Qisas and Takzir. There are a lot of ways to prove a rapist wrong. It is a fair law that will protect the interest of the rapist and the victim. I would not like to go into detail about this because I'm not an expert myself. But you can read details on Islamic law here http://www.pekanrabu.com/zubir/hudud.html


I would like to see what will happen next. Will UMNO take any action against this MCA leader? This statement is belittling Islam, not PAS! Just don't politicize this issue. Take action to whom it is suppose to. In fact, maybe ISA can come into play! It's an insensitive statement that's provoking. It can cause chaos to the country because Muslim will be angry. At least I am! How about you?
