Chua Soi Lek himself is a peerless hypocrite. For someone who riles against “promiscuity, adultery, homosexuality, alcohol, gambling” – he spent his student days in a haze of cannabis, alcohol and pornography. And, from accounts narrated by his friends in his formative years DR,CHUA had a sexually promiscuous life, with a particular fondness for young malay girls.
Yet, voices like chua highlight the danger posed to civil discourses by the lunatic fringe, which is slowly gaining traction and provoking a backlash in the mainstream. The failure of multiculturalism in Malaysia has given rise to fears of a “MCAISTAN” and a “creeping Islamisation” of civil society, which have found expression in the backlash against the full-face Islamic veil in France and elsewhere.
In 2008, the Archbishop of Canterbury acknowledged glowingly that UK society and law already recognised certain provisions of the Sharia law, which provoked an outcry in Britain. (Of course, even that wasn’t enough for Choudary, who said Sharia law had to be “adopted wholesale”.)
Umno’s Kemelah state assemblyperson Ayub Rahmat has proposed that hudud law be implemented in Johor for all races. UMNO imbecile to lure MCA,MIC and GERAKAN a to engage in one-upmanship to this proposal. By dabbling in this form of gross reverse psychology, UMNO hopes to bait MCA,MIC and GERAKAN thereby turning the nascent Muslim voters against MCA . Although knowing this proposal will not see daylight, it mirrors the exasperation and angst of UMNO which is anticipating cracks to appear in their Fortress Johor come GE13. Conversely, it is meant to attract those fence-sitting Muslim voters from attaching themselves time around. It will be interesting to hear MCA’s reaction as Johor is also the MCA’s last bastion. So PAS and Pakatan should stay clear of this quicksand. The non-Muslims are happy with the just and corruption-free administration in Kelantan. Just let this demented fellow bark up the wrong tree as much as he wants and lose more BN votes in the wonder if the pornstar has anything to comment about this proposal from ayeh rahman. The pornstar is only good at challenging dap each time when pas talk about hudud law. What have your got to say mr pornstar?
chua soiled Dick, what did you challenge DAP to do wrt to pAS polices? now answer where you stand on this or we vote you out of parliamant. all chinese will ensure that.Chua Soi Lek, what have you got to say? This hudud law is going to apply to non-Muslm as well? But, Kelantan , only for Muslims.As least PAS is more realistic and understands that islam cannot be forced on non believers. This shows that UMNO is a fanatic party and is now trying to use the Hudud law to trap PAS. PAS should be careful and insist that Hudud that if ever implemented should only be applicable to muslims. What UMNO is proposing is rediculous and is going backward 500 years where non muslims were forced to convert or die.
If Malaysians had love for the peace and prosperity of the country , they would have forgiven the perpetrator of injustice and corruption and help to establish a clean, fair and efficient government. But if they still think they are Malays, Chinese or Indians and Others , then they are the cause of the suffering to the Malaysians and deserves the suffering themselves. The same blame applies to the religious supremacists who thinks God is with them. Umno and the Malays at large are to be blamed squarely. They drooled and snickered arrogantly and reaped the harvest unashamedly. There is no mistake on the prime suspect – all Malays and muslims.
The Rulers too, for they never spoke out against the excesses. The non Malays bent over backwards to accommodate Malay aspirations, but it was to no avail, no matter what they agreed to. The MCA, MIC and the east Malaysian parties are to be partially blamed too for they too, like the Rulers did not speak up. But we have already punished them and will continue to do so. Today a larger share of the blame goes to the Ibans and Kadazans. Why don’t we get rid of these bastards! The Penang Chinese too are bastards as I said, they who supported the biggest frog Lim Chong Eu for 30 years. Chinese are proven frogs. Why don’t we isolate the bastards on the island and cut off water supply from the mainland? Now why are the Malay not thinking ingeniously?
The conservative Center for Security Policy recently issued a warning that Sharia law was being implemented in American courts. Its spokesperson said that Islamic religious demands are arriving mostly through rulings involving cases where foreigners are the principals and he commented that “Sharia enters U.S. courts through the practice of comity to foreign law.”

I shall discuss comity in a moment, but first let me share with you the reaction to this assertion regarding Sharia law. The wonder of the Internet is that it allows reader reaction. There were 237 postings the day that I received this email. Here are some examples: any judge within the United States who invokes the use of any foreign laws should be locked up for treason; wake the hell up America; not only is Sharia not the law of the United States of America, it is the law of the Devil and against the law of God; and my favorite, sent in capital letters — ELIMINATE ALL MUSLIMS THAT ARE FORCING ISLAMIC LAWS AND THEIR DEATH CULT RELIGION.
This hysteria is fueled by conservative politicians. Newt Gingrich has called for a federal law outlawing Sharia law, declaring, “Sharia law is a moral threat to the survival of freedom in the United States and in the world as we know it.” Such a law has been proposed in the House of Representatives (H.R. 973). The Tennessee General Assembly recently passed a law that states that Sharia promotes “the destruction of the national existence of the United States.” More than a dozen other states are considering a similar law.
Now it’s time to discuss the concept of comity to foreign law. The United States has no bilateral treaty, nor is it a signatory to any international convention that requires our courts to recognize or enforce foreign judgments or laws. However, an American court can enforce a foreign judgment if it feels that it is compatible with American standards of fairness and procedural legitimacy. An example: An Israeli couple living in America can enforce a divorce decree from a religious court in Israel based on Jewish law or a Saudi couple can enforce a divorce decree from a religious court in Saudi Arabia based on Sharia law — if, and this is a most important if, the court decides that either divorce decree is reasonable based on American legal standards.
Another way that Sharia law legitimately can be implemented in American courts is through the use of arbitration. Arbitration is often used in business disputes to avoid expensive and time-consuming court litigation. Both parties agree to be bound by the arbitrator’s decision and such decisions can be enforced by a court of law. Two Muslims can decide to use a court that applies Sharia business standards and its decision would be enforceable under the American legal system. There is nothing sinister here. It’s their business dispute and it’s their American right to decide it as they wish.
