    Indonesia President Joko: Chemical Castration Will “Wipe Out” Paedophilia

    Indonesia could “wipe out” paedophilia with its new policy of chemical castration, President Joko Widodo has told the BBC.

    He said Indonesia respected human rights but there would be “no compromise” when it came to punishing such sexual crimes.

    Indonesia passed controversial laws earlier this month authorising chemical castration for paedophiles.

    The laws were subject to fierce debate in parliament.

    The Indonesian Doctors Association says its members should not be involved as the procedure would violate medical ethics.

    Chemical castration is the use of drugs to reduce sex drive and libido, without sterilisation or removing organs.

    The paedophiles who want treatment

    President Widodo said “our constitution respects human rights, but when it comes to sexual crimes there is no compromise”.

    “We are strong and we will be very firm. We will hand out the maximum penalty for sexual crimes.”

    He added: “In my opinion… chemical castration, if we enforce it consistently, will reduce sex crimes and wipe them out over time.”

    In a wide-ranging interview with the BBC’s Yalda Hakim, President Widodo – also known as Jokowi – discussed topics including the South China Sea, corruption, a recent tax amnesty and the government’s stance on homosexuality.

    Earlier this month, an advert for a new youth ambassador position stipulated that members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community need not apply.

    The government advert said the post was only open to applicants not involved in “sexually deviant behaviour”.

    President Widodo said there was no discrimination against minorities, but he added: “We are the world’s largest Muslim nation and we have religious norms. You have to remember that and know that. We have social norms.”

    Him: Are you nervous?

    Me: No, i’m disappointed.

    Him: Why? I’m just doing my job.

    Me: You didn’t check anyone else, so please don’t tell me this is random.

    Him: You can have your passport back.

    Me: Can i ask why it took so long?

    *directs to another guy*

    Other officer: Err, we had another name like yours, with same surname too.

    Me: From Singapore? I can guarantee you there is none.

    We both know why it was only me who had to go through this, and no one else. Let’s not pretend.

    The reality is Muslims are the biggest victims of terrorism, whether directly or otherwise.

  • Malaysia Culture & Tourism Minister: Don’t Be Stupid And Backward, Don’t Ban Use Of “Hot Dog”

    Malaysia Culture & Tourism Minister: Don’t Be Stupid And Backward, Don’t Ban Use Of “Hot Dog”

    KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — Religious authorities’ decision to deny halal certification over the word “hot dog” is stupid and backward, said Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.

    The Umno supreme council member said it was unequivocal that the word “hot dog” did not mean the food item contained dog meat, adding that there was no reason for the Department of Islamic Development (Jakim) to take issue with the term now.

    “Hot dog has always been known to be a western food. It comes from the English language. It is a western food. Please do not make us seem stupid and backward.

    “Hot dog is hot dog la. Even in Malay it’s called hot dog. It’s been around for so many years. I’m a Muslim and I’m not offended. I’m not offended at all,” he told reporters when met outside the Parliament today.

    Jakim this week confirmed that eateries must rename the “hot dog” if the item is in their menus, if order to secure halal certification.

    A department spokesman said food items containing the word “dog” could confuse Muslims, as the animal is considered unclean by Islam.

    Nazri today rejected the argument, saying that eating hot dogs has never endangered his faith.
    “This is ridiculous. This is done by people who are ignoramuses. They are not living in the real world.

    “I think I now want to eat a hot dog now,” he said with a chuckle.

    When met by reporters here, PAS MP Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Abdul Aziz said he has no issue with food operators using the term “hot dog” to describe sausage-based food products.

    “The issue here should not be the name of the food. Any name is okay, as long as its contents are halal but food companies cannot intentionally use names which will confuse Muslims either,” the Pasir Mas MP said.

    The issue surfaced after an executive with US pretzel chain Aunty Anne’s revealed that their application for halal certification had failed due to, among others, concerns over the “pretzel dogs” in their menu.

    The incident is the latest in the growing trend of religious conservatism in Malaysia, the only country in the world that prohibits non-Muslims from using the word “Allah” and other Arabic terms.

  • Saudi Arabia Executes A Prince Convicted In A Fatal Shooting

    Saudi Arabia Executes A Prince Convicted In A Fatal Shooting

    Saudi Arabia on Tuesday executed a member of the royal family for murder, the first time in four decades it had done so, after he was convicted of shooting another man to death during a brawl.

    Prince Turki bin Saud bin Turki bin Saud al-Kabeer was put to death in the capital, Riyadh, according to a report by the Saudi state news service. While the report did not detail the method used, most death penalties in Saudi Arabia are carried out by beheading in a public square.

    The rare event rocketed around the kingdom’s social media networks, with some Saudis saying they never imagined such a thing would happen and others arguing that it showed the quality of their justice system, which follows a strict interpretation of Shariah law and is often criticized by human rights groups and Western governments for what they consider harsh and arbitrary punishments.

    “The greatest thing is that the citizen sees the law applied to everyone, and that there are not big people and other small people,” Abdul-Rahman al-Lahim, a prominent Saudi lawyer, wrote on Twitter.

    Other Saudis lauded the monarch, King Salman, on Twitter under an Arabic hashtag that translated as, “Decisive Salman orders retribution for the prince.”

    Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s few remaining absolute monarchies. The thousands of members of the royal family enjoy perks not available to the rest of the country’s 20 million citizens.

    Tuesday’s execution was the first time that a member of the royal family had been put to death for murder by the state since 1975, when Prince Faisal bin Musaid was beheaded in Riyadh for assassinating King Faisal.

    A New York Times article about that event said that some 10,000 people “watched silently as the executioner swung a sword with a golden hilt, but then thousands broke into chants of ‘God is great!’ and ‘Justice is done!’”

    A couple of years later, a princess and her husband were accused of adultery and executed after the princess refused to marry a man selected by the family. The princess, Mishael, was shot as her husband, Khalid Muhallal, watched. He was then beheaded, according to a New York Times obituary of her grandfather, Prince Mohammed Ibn Abdel-Aziz.

    It was unclear how many people watched the execution of Prince Turki on Tuesday or what their immediate reaction was.

    The state news media report did not release his age or provide any other biographical information.

    Another member of the royal family, Prince Faisal bin Farhan al-Saud, said by telephone from Riyadh that Prince Turki was from one of the most prominent branches of the royal family after that of the direct descendants of King Abdulaziz, who founded the modern Saudi state in 1932.

    That genealogy earned Prince Turki no extra credit with the courts or with the king, Prince Faisal said.

    “The king has always said that there is no difference in the law between princes and others, and I think that this is clear manifestation of the reality of that fact,” he said.

    According to Saudi reports, Prince Turki shot a man during “a group fight” that occurred a few years ago.

    Adam Coogle, a researcher at Human Rights Watch who tracks Saudi Arabia, said the execution of the prince did not affect his organization’s criticisms of the country.

    Saudi Arabia has executed 143 people so far this year, according to a count by the group, which opposes the death penalty in all cases.

    Mufti Pulau Pinang: Solat Jumaat Pada Hari Sabtu Tidak Seharusnya Dibenarkan

    Kelab Suara Anak Muda 1Malaysia (SAM1M) membuat aduan polis berhubung cadangan seorang aktivis untuk mengadakan solat Jumaat pada hari Sabtu bagi memudahkan umat Islam melaksanakannya.

    Badan bukan kerajaan itu membuat aduan tersebut di Balai Polis Damansara semalam (17 Okt) dan menggesa polis dan Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia menyiasat cadangan yang kini menjadi viral yang dianggap biadab dan menghina kesucian agama Islam.

    Sementara itu, Mufti Pulau Pinang, Datuk Wan Salim Wan Mohd Noor berkata isu solat Jumaat pada hari Sabtu tidak seharusnya wujud kerana ia sudah termaktub dalam hukum agama.

    Katanya, solat Jumaat adalah hukum yang sudah ditetapkan dan tidak boleh diubah sewenang-wenangnya.
