Too sexy for Malaysia
came on. It showed a distraught and tearful Inul shocked by the ban on her performance.
Unspun cringed when the other people working out there began commenting about Inul’s mistreatment. “Di ban i Johor?” asked a Bapak. “Oh mereka fanatik di sana ya?”
Good one Bolehlanders. Who the hell do Malaysia’s PAS and other self proclaimed champions of the Muslim faith think they are, trying to say what’s approved and appreciated by a very large portion of Indonesia, home to the world’s largest Muslim population?

The things people do in the name of religion. If Unspun were a religious authority he’d tell both Anwar and Saiful to piss off and not cheapen something that is holy to many people. The Quran or any other religious text is meant to transmit the words of the founder to the followers, not function as a lie detector or truth one-upmanship claims. They should take it to the courts if they have a dispute.
On the second instance, who has a greater right to how a deceased person’s body is to be treated? The religious court or family members? Whose body is it anyway?
Anwar and accuser both willing to swear on Quran | The Jakarta Post
PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his accuser Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan said they are willing to swear on the Quran over the sodomy allegations.
“I am prepared to swear (on the Quran) if the ulama advise me to,” Anwar said at the rally to protest the fuel price hike at Kelana Jaya Stadium.
He said however that the ulama should be “credible”.
He added that Perak mufti Datuk Seri Harussani Zakaria and the former Federal Territory mufti Datuk Hashim Yahya had advised him that any such allegation should be handled according to Islam and there should be witnesses.
Sources told M-Star Online that Saiful, who is currently under police protection, also agreed to the suggestion by the Mufti of Perlis, Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, to clear his name.
AND THIS

Malaysian Islamic court declares dead man Muslim amid Hindu family’s objections
The Associated Press , Kuala Lumpur | Mon, 07/07/2008 3:12 PM | World
An Islamic court has declared a dead man a Muslim, making it virtually impossible for his Hindu
family to cremate his body in the latest dispute over religious conversions in Muslim-majority Malaysia, their lawyer said Monday.
A Shariah court in northern Penang state ruled Friday that B. Elangesvaran, 34, who committed suicide last month, was a Muslim and his body should be released from the hospital for Muslim
burial, lawyer R. Nethaji Rayer said.”

Here we go again with another feat that merits Unspun’s shit-for-brains tag.
New Malaysia: Kota Baru bans lipsticks and high-heels: “Kota Baru bans lipsticks and high-heels
This is bizarre. The Kota Baru Municipal Council has issued an order to ban female workers of the MBKB and permit holders from putting on lipsticks or wearing high-heels. High heels, it seems, are too noisy with its squeaky sound and they are a distraction. Lipsticks are even more dangerous and provocative – to men, that is. According to the council president Shafie Ismail the directive was issued to prevent rapes and other immoral activities.The directive has been issued to MBKB staff and workers at restaurants and other premises, which required permits from the council. That would probably include supermarkets. That’s the whole of Kota Baru! Tony Pua has blogged about the obsession of the PAS government with dressing.”

Rocky, quoting the Star newspaper said:
“According to The Star, someone people in the DAP’s central executive committee want the party’s assemblymen in Johor NOT to wear the Songkok at the opening of the state’s legislative assembly on June 19. The Sultan of Johor is expected to be there.
If the news is true, it’s strange for the DAP to want to do that. It’s mischievous, even, especially given the Johor Sultan’s passion for the songkok .
Sure, the songkok is a Malay headgear. It is also a Malaysian headgear. No?”
The Star’s Chun Wai also thinks the Songkok is a Malay headgear.
Curiously, if you search for “songkok” in Wikipedia you are redirected to the “peci” entry as below:

So, is the songkok.peci Indonesian or Malaysian, or if you want to cut it finer, is it Indonesian muslim or Malay?

Where most Indonesians are concerned the FPI is a group of thugs using Islam as an excuse to intimidate and visit voilence on others for their own gain.
So it is a wonder why the Gvernment cannot act stright away to been the organization and the police cannot arrest the offender straight away. The police has had to give ultimatums to the FPI to hand in their members. This is sheer nonsense, the only language that the people in FPI know is force. if the government has no will to use it then the FPI will behave like dogs that do not know their master. They’ll climb over all and sundry.
The Press is also to be blamed for this sad state of affairs. One of their crimes is not exposing the issue as it is. The venerable and doddering Kompas, for instance, today talked about the police warning about “horizontal conflict.”
What does that mean? A couple having a domestic in bed? Essentially what we
have are thugs whacking the shit out of members of another group. If the police cannot put a stop to it the other group will seek revenge and we’ll have a gang war. Horizontal conflict my ass.
The press is also guilty of not shaming the police into action. Wouldn’t it be great if they adopted the idea from the latest issue of Fortune highlighting corporate convicts (see photo)?
Only instead of corporate convicts they should feature pseudo-religious thugs, where are they now. Unspun’s bet is that if it ran a gallery of photos of pseudo-religious gangster convicts it would be a very short gallery. It may not even have a single person in the lineup, which is fine. The Press, if it has any imagination can run a gallery of empty spaces. That would speak volumes.

Yusril Ihza Mahendra, the State Secretary who was dismissed from office by President SBY for his part in helping Tommy Suharto recoup his ill gotten gains from overseas, has apparently started to blog.
His blog has only one entry so far, entitled Foreward. Doesn’t say much but for the story behind how the disgraced Cabinet member and leader of the Partai Bintang Bulan started blogging read Priyadi here.
For more information about Yusril, the putative champion of Islamic values, read Indonesia Matter here.
great stuff indeed.
