Moderate Muslim Malaysia Wants to Stone Adulterers to Death

Hudud is really all the rage in “moderate” Muslim Asian countries. The Sultan of Brunei took a break from his harem to implement it. Now “moderate” Malaysia is moving forward with it.


Six months after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak stood before the United Nations and urged Muslims worldwide to be moderate in their religion, members of his own party are supporting a law that punishes adulterers with death and thieves with amputation.

Lawmakers from Mr Najib’s United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) joined the opposition Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) to pass Islamic criminal law, or hudud, in the opposition-held state of Kelantan.

The move has drawn criticism from other parties in their respective coalitions, while human rights groups say it’s an unconstitutional step for secular Malaysia.

UMNO officials are flashing their Islamic credentials to safeguard support among the ethnic Malay majority after the coalition retained power in 2013 by the narrowest margin since independence. The swing by Mr Najib’s party to the right risks worsening race relations at a time economic growth is forecast to slow.

Malaysia isn’t secular. Secular countries don’t seize bibles. They don’t prevent Christians from using the word “Allah.” It just isn’t a full bore murderous Islamic theocracy like Iran or Saudi Arabia or the Islamic State.


“Some people say ‘Oh if we implement this, investors will run away,'” Mohd Amar Abdullah, deputy chief minister of Kelantan state, said in an interview.

“I say to you – Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Emirates – all these three countries implement the Sharia but investors flock to their countries. So what’s the problem?”

They’ve got oil? What do the Malays have besides a lot of anger that the Chinese are smarter and better than them in every way?

Still we do seem to really be running low on “moderate” Muslim countries. Turkey is out. Malaysia is going. We’re reaching peak moderate Islam?

"Every 'moderate' Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a 'moderate' Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.
It is time to put an end to the charade of "moderate Islam." There is no such thing as moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists - moderate, they are not."
