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?
