Malaysia's Islamic authority bans ''tomboyish'' behaviour and lesbian relations
By News Editor
Citing a spate of cases involving young women "behaving like men and indulging in lesbian sex" as reported by the Malay language Berita Harian, Malaysia’s National Fatwa Council has announced a ban on "tomboyish" behaviour and lesbian relations.
Having made the headlines by banning an exhibition about ghosts, ghouls and supernatural beings as 'haram' (forbidden) last year, news of Malaysia’s National Fatwa Council’s latest edict banning "tomboys" in the Muslim-majority country has reverberated worldwide.
Media reports have quoted Harussani Idris Zakaria, the mufti of northern Perak state, who said that the National Fatwa Council has banned girls or women behaving or dressing like boys or men, following a meeting last Thursday in northern Malaysia.Harussani clarified that although the council's ruling was not legally binding, tomboys should be banned because their actions are immoral."It doesn't matter if it's a law or not. When it's wrong, it's wrong. It is a sin," Harussani told The Associated Press. "Tomboy (behaviour) is forbidden in Islam."
"They must respect God. God created them as boys, they must behave like boys. God created them as girls, they must act like girls," he said. Boys should also not act like girls, he added.Harussani said an increasing number of Malaysian girls behave like tomboys, and that some of them engage in homosexuality. Homosexuality is not explicitly banned in Malaysia, but it is effectively illegal under a law that prohibits sex acts "against the order of nature."Abdul Shukor Husin, chairman of the National Fatwa Council, was quoted in the UK Telegraph as saying: "It is unacceptable to see women who love the male lifestyle including dressing in the clothes men wear. (Masculine behaviour) becomes clearer when they start to have sex with someone of the same gender, that is woman and woman."
"In view of this," Dr Abdul explained, "the National Fatwa Council which met today have decided and taken the stand that such acts are forbidden and banned."Same-sex relations between men is illegal in Malaysia under Section 377 of the Penal Code and punishable with up to twenty years in jail. The Telegraph further added that although there is no provision banning lesbian sex in Malaysia's civil code, the latest fatwa appears to be an attempt to push lesbianism towards illegality.It is unclear what the penalty is for not complying with the latest edict. Sixty percent of its 27 million people are ethnic Malays who are regarded as Muslims by definition and subject to Sharia law and the council's edicts, even if the rulings have not been enshrined in national or Shariah law.Islamic authorities in Malaysia frequently issue guidelines with regards to what women should or should not wear. In June, authorities in a northern Malaysian city of Kota Baru have forbidden Muslim women from wearing bright lipstick and noisy high-heeled shoes, saying the directive is intended to prevent sexual assaults and "illicit sex." Kota Baru, the capital of Kelantan state, which is ruled by the hard-line opposition party Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), also issued a directive calling for Muslim women to wear non-transparent headscarves that cover the chest, long-sleeved and loose blouses and socks. Those who flout the guidelines can be fined up to RM500 (U$153).
LOL..
When i read this my eyes from . . to o.O...to O.O
In June, authorities in a northern Malaysian city of Kota Baru have
forbidden Muslim women from wearing bright lipstick and noisy high-heeled shoes,
saying the directive is intended to prevent sexual assaults and "illicit sex."
Even female who wants to be female also cannot...haiz...
Tell all the guys in Malaysia to go for classes that teach them
how to control their sexual need in public...
like tat they wun feel the strong need to pound on thoes poor females..
C'mon, wearing bright lipsticks and high-heeled shoes is so normal as can be in a modern society..
If thoes Malaysian guys can be sexually turn on by high heel and lipsticks...
tell to stay at home...n dun ever stepped out of their house...n dun ever step into s'pore..coz almost 80% of woman wear high heels outside..like tat, thoes poor guys will be simply crying in the street...coz they can't just grab a woman to satisfy their needs..unless to geylang...(but must remember to bring 200 sing dollars, not 200 riggit...else thoes woman will simply laugh at u...)
what is really wrong with Malaysia’s National Fatwa Council ??
Seriously, they really got nth better to do...
Next time, i think they will also forbid the woman to go swimming..as woman wearing bikini and swimming constume will be sexually assaults by thoes
"oh-so-in-need" males species...
-.-
Tat's just simply crap...
Now they r into the topic of lesbian...dots...
Define what is TOmboy?
Gurl who have masuline behaviors...
(ain tat good, they will not turn on thoes guys sexual needs)
In this way, half of the Malaysian Les will not be sexually violated by thoes idiotic males right?
It's so paradox..
U wan females to behave like females..at the same time..tell them not to use lipstick and wear high heels..
Seriously, uncles? what is ur problem??
Some comments regarding to this hilarious issue..
- It will only be a matter of time before they are stoning young girls for wearing pants..or OMG cutting their hair!!!! Someone care to eplain to me how Islam is the religion of peace - I always hear it, but never see it
- Maybe these religious nut cases are afraid that the so-called tomboys will steal the women away from the clerics that the clerics want to have sex with.
(hahahaha....maybe...who knows...)
- Sounds like something a President Palin would endorse.
- Did anyone else watch the opening athletes' parade at the Olympics? Several Muslim countries either withdrew or forbade their female athletes from competing. These Neanderthals are terrified their women will actually be good at something besides having children, either by competing against other women or (gasp!) men. (I apologize for offending any Neanderthals who by some miracle are still among us and if not, to their spirits, for comparing them to an obviously inferior offshoot of the human species.)
