    Malaysian Malays Arrested For Part In Drug-Fuelled Sex Orgy

    KUALA LUMPUR: Police in Malaysia arrested 29 people including two auxiliary police officers in a raid on a birthday party which they said had turned into a drug-fuelled orgy. Officers were called to a hotel in the town of Klang near the capital Kuala Lumpur early Sunday (Jan 11) after a complaint about noise in one of the rooms.

    Ten women and 19 men were arrested while drugs including heroin, Ecstasy and ketamine were impounded, police said. “We suspect it to be a sex orgy cum birthday party,” said North Klang police chief Mohamad Shukor Sulong.

    A police officer involved in the investigation told AFP on condition of anonymity that all 29 were ethnic Malays and ranged in age from 20 to 35. “They brought girls, drugs and beer to celebrate the birthday party,” the officer said.

    Premarital sex and lewd behaviour are deeply frowned upon in Malaysia, which has traditionally practised a relatively moderate brand of Islam yet remains conservative on sexual issues.

    Muslims who are merely caught alone in a secluded place with a member of the opposite sex who is not a relation can face up to two years’ jail and a fine. Muslims make up more than half Malaysia’s nearly 30 million people.

  • MUIS Should Publicly Criticise Offensive Charlie Hebdo Cartoons And The Need For Responsible Freedom Of Speech

    MUIS Should Publicly Criticise Offensive Charlie Hebdo Cartoons And The Need For Responsible Freedom Of Speech

    MUIS and our Mufti should make a public statement on the Paris shootings.

    They could distance themselves from whomever were responsible for the ‘acts of terrorism.’

    At the same time, it is a golden opportunity to handle the issue of disparaging our Beloved Rasulullah SAW by distancing themselves from the offensive and despicable cartoons.

    And it would be exactly in line with the government stand. Freedom of speech is not absolute. It does NOT extend to freedom to offend any religion.

    A press statement as well as an FB posting on the official MUIS site would be very much appreciated.

    The ball is in MUIS’ court. We hope they would sieze this golden opportunity and strike while the hammer is hot.

  • Female Child Suicide Bomber Used In Attack At Busy Market In Nigeria

    Female Child Suicide Bomber Used In Attack At Busy Market In Nigeria

    MAIDUGURI/KADUNA, Nigeria – A bomb strapped to a girl aged around 10 years old exploded in a busy market place in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Saturday, killing at least 16 people and injuring more than 20, security sources said.

    “The explosive devices were wrapped around her body and the girl looked no more than 10 years old,” a police source said.

    Maiduguri, the capital of northern Borno state, lies in the heartland of an insurgency by Islamist militant group Boko Haram, and is often hit by bomb attacks.

    A Nigerian security source said the bomb went off at 12:15 p.m. The girl was killed and the bodies of at least 16 victims were counted in one hospital by mid-afternoon, civilian joint task force member Zakariya Mohammed told Reuters.

    “Right now, there are 27 injured people in Borno Medical Hospital, while more were taken to other hospitals,” he said.

    The northeastern states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa are bearing the brunt of a five-year-old insurgency by Boko Haram, which wants to revive a medieval caliphate in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and its biggest energy producer.

    Last year more than 10,000 people died in the violence, according to an estimate by the Council on Foreign Relations.

    About 130 km (80 miles) away in the Yobe state capital Damaturu, the army subdued an Islamist militant attack on Friday evening, but not before militants had torched several buildings, a Reuters reporter in the city and witnesses said.

    The Reuters witness saw a number of burnt buildings, including a police station and a mosque in the Abacha market, along with several shops.

    Defense spokesman Major General Chris Olukolade said that five soldiers were wounded defending the city and the number of civilian casualties was still being determined.

    Damaturu was last attacked in early December when air strikes called in to halt advancing militants.

    Olukolade said the military would regroup before mounting an effort to retake the town of Baga in Borno state raided twice by Boko Haram in the last week. The insurgents also took over a nearby military base on the edge of Lake Chad.

    He said 14 soldiers had been killed in the first attack at last weekend. On Friday, the government said it had launched ground action backed by airstrikes to reclaim the area.

    On Saturday afternoon, a bomb exploded at the main police station in the town of Potiskum in Yobe state after a man was arrested and brought to the station with his car, the state police commissioner said.

    “We took the suspect to the station and the car…exploded and killed one of my men and a driver. The suspect did not die…he is still in our custody,” Marcus Danladi told Reuters.

    Residents who witnessed the scene said earlier two people had been arrested with the vehicle and blew themselves up once inside station.

    The Boko Haram revolt is seen as the gravest security threat facing Nigeria, a country of 170 million people, and a serious challenge for President Goodluck Jonathan, who is seeking re-election in a national election set for Feb. 14.

  • Benjamin Netanyahu: Israel Is Also Your Home

    Benjamin Netanyahu: Israel Is Also Your Home

    JERUSALEM – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu coupled a show of solidarity with France on Sunday with a reminder to shaken French Jews that Israel is keen to welcome them as immigrants.

    Netanyahu and two far-right members of his cabinet flew to Paris on Sunday to join dozens of foreign leaders and hundreds of thousands of French citizens in a march honoring the victims of Islamist militant attacks this week.

    The timing of his message that “Israel is also your home” could clash with attempts by French leaders to reassure Europe’s largest Jewish community after the shock assaults that included hostage-taking at a kosher supermarket.

    In a statement late on Saturday, Netanyahu said an Israeli governmental committee would convene in the coming week to find ways to boost Jewish immigration from France and other European countries “which are being hit by terrible anti-Semitism”.

    “To all the Jews of France and to all the Jews of Europe, I wish to say: the State of Israel is not only the place to which you pray, the State of Israel is also your home,” he said.

    In 2004, then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon angered Paris by urging French Jews to flee “the wildest anti-Semitism” in their native country and come to Israel.

    In remarks to reporters as he boarded the flight to Paris, Netanyahu avoided any outright call for France’s 550,000 Jews to leave. He said only he would tell them that “any Jew who wants to immigrate to Israel will be received here with open arms”.

    Under Israel’s Law of Return, anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent has a right of immigration to Israel and, once there, can receive Israeli citizenship automatically.

    Faced with an upsurge in anti-Semitic attacks and threats, some 7,000 French Jews immigrated to Israel last year, an unprecedented number for that community, according to Israel’s quasi-governmental Jewish Agency.

    Moshe Sebbag, rabbi of Paris’ Grand Synagogue, told Israel’s Army Radio he believed that figure could double this year.

    Seventeen people, including journalists and policemen, lost their lives in three days of violence that began with a shooting attack on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday and ended with a hostage-taking at a kosher supermarket on Friday. The three gunmen were also killed.

    After his arrival in Paris, Netanyahu said in a statement he had agreed to requests from the families of the four Jews killed in the supermarket to bring them to Israel for burial. Their funerals have been tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.

  • Hamas Condemns Charlie Hebdo Attacks

    Hamas Condemns Charlie Hebdo Attacks

    GAZA – The Hamas group that controls the Gaza Strip on Saturday issued a condemnation of the deadly attacks by Islamist gunmen in France this week, saying there was no “justification for killing innocents”.

    The Palestinian Islamist faction, which is designated as a terror organization by most Western countries, also challenged Israel’s “helpless attempts” to draw comparisons between its activities and the violence in France.

    In the worst assault on France’s homeland security for decades, 17 victims lost their lives in three days of violence that began with an attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical newspaper on Wednesday and ended with Friday’s dual sieges at a print works outside Paris and a kosher supermarket in the city.

    “(Hamas) stresses that its position on the latest events in Paris is in line with the statement issued by the International Union of Muslim Scholars which condemned the attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and that any differences in opinion are no justification for killing innocents,” Hamas said in a rare statement in French.

    Islamist Gaza militants led by Hamas, whose charter includes a pledge to destroy Israel, fought a 50-day war against Israeli forces which ended in August.

    According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, more than 2,100 Palestinians, most of them civilians, were killed. Sixty-seven Israeli soldiers and six civilians in Israel were also killed.

    Hamas added in its statement that Israelis should be tried for war crimes and condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “helpless attempts” to draw parallels between “the resistance of our people from one side and the terrorism across the world in the other side.”

    The Palestinians will formally become a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on April 1, when the court could exercise jurisdiction over war crimes committed by anyone on Palestinian territory, without a referral from the U.N. Security Council.

    Israel is not a member of the Hague-based ICC but its citizens could be tried for actions taken on Palestinian land. Palestinians could also be liable for prosecution for actions against Israelis.

    On Friday, the leader of Lebanon’s Shi’ite group Hezbollah said the attacks in France had done more harm to Islam than any cartoon or book, a reference to the attack on Charlie Hebdo.
