but it will only be for muslims (http://www.straitstimes.com/Latest%2BNews/Asia/STIStory_197259.html)
KAMPUNG PULAU MELAKA (Malaysia) - MALAYSIA'S Islamist opposition party called on non-Muslims on Thursday to back its election campaign to apply strict sharia law, including amputations and stonings, for the country's Muslims.
Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) is trying to broaden its appeal beyond the predominantly Muslim heartland at the next election, which is expected by political experts to be called by end-March and to be fought partly on the issue of rising street crime.

'The people want the best and there is nothing better than Islam,' Nik Aziz Nik Mat, 77, told Reuters after morning prayers at his home in the largely rural northeast state of Kelantan, ruled by PAS since 1990.

An Egyptian-educated scholar, Nik Aziz said non-Muslims had nothing to fear from strict sharia punishments, known as hudud, and a lot to gain from them, especially Malaysia's large and wealthy ethnic Chinese minority.

Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) desparately wants to return to their roots. The roots of Sharia law of stonings and whacking off limbs.

Ya know I'm "almost" not against that for muslims but do you think for one minute this party is in power that sharia law would not apply to all ... muslims and non-muslims alike?

If the non-Muslims elect it for the law let it be.
If both Muslims and non-Muslims elect it let it be.
If they lose let it be. If they win let it be.

It's strictly not my or your business what people want to do with their country's law. Stop being nosy.

You're much more into those old Beetle songs than I thought ... let it be!

"I" can let it be ...

But the question is ... If they lose can these muslims ... let it be.

I doubt it be ... :hyper:

lol, if they don't let it be then there should be some law that will stop them from ruining anything else if they intend to and if that's what you mean. The same law that created opposition knows how to control people who are against any freedom at all...Right?

Oh, Threadlike, I think it's everybody's business what countries do with their laws.

That's why we have things like Conventions Against Slavery and International Human Rights Agreements.

^This is strictly a matter of the Malaysian people.
The Malaysian people will choose.
What do others have to do with it exactly?
So it's not us invovled. Why so worried about it unless people are just alarmed these days if the words 'Sharia' and 'best' come in the same sentence?

Islamic Sharia Law is a perfect law given it is applied correctly. Sadly though, only Iran is doing well with this regards.

Now you must explain me why, if the story of this woman (http://www.equalitynow.org/english/actions/action_2901_en.html)is true, and if the translation of the Irani penal code (http://www.iranhrdc.org/english/pdfs/Codes/ThePenalCode.pdf)is correct, she must be punished to death .
Shouldn't art. 64 be relevant in her case ?

Most Malaysians, be Muslims or non-Muslims, want the Islamic Party PAS to rule the country.

In fact, non-Muslims in the Malasian states ruled by Islamic party are the most satisfied and contented.
