Gee…where is your eyes lah?

To make a fatwa you must make a deep detailed discussion with protocol. Everyone must give evidence to go against or accept the new fatwa. All evidence must come from holy Quran. If there is no evidence, it must come from what prophet Muhammad SAW had said (hadith). If still no evidence, we have to rely on his successor,the khulaf arrasyidin, for evidence. If still no evidence, we have to entrust the wise men of muslim to come out with a solution (syura or ‘discussion’). To do that, the wise men must be from a good background in holy Quran studies and must fully understand arabic (meaning he understand what is written in holy Quran better than we ever will). You think discussion are made in one day? Just like any law, we have to present a draft and have to be refine until it is acceptable and undeniable. BTW, this is a priority about the evidence, Quran>hadith>syura. Quran’s evidence can cancel all evidence regardless their source

Still think that they do easy work to get easy money? Do you ever go to a meeting where you are making a decision while being constantly heavily pressured??? Do a wrong decision, eternal wrath await you. Do a right decision, wrath of some(many?) people await you. Personally I choose people’s wrath than everlasting wrath.

If non-muslim want to follow the fatwa then go ahead. It is not something bad and intended to bring better life quality.

If you don’t see gay people and pengkids as human, which you probably don’t, then you probably won’t care what can potentially happen to them with the fatwa. We ‘think’ the fatwa won’t be enforced. Are you ‘sure’ they won’t be enforced? that’s what the whole lot of people thought about the ISA until it was used and abused for DSAI and a whole lot of people the govt just didn’t like. How do u define ‘tomboy’ anyway’? Short hair? Wear pants? more than half the women of Malaysian muslims could be potentialy arrested. The point here is that it CAN be used and thus can be a dangerous tool, apart from sexism and homophobia issues.

I personally think muslims should fight for their own cause, as otherwise, it may be wrongly perceived that non-muslims are ‘challenging’ islam. I believe there are also muslims, men, and straight people who were also protesting. so it’s not really a protest by ‘non-muslims’ only. though its understandable with all the sexist and homophobic threats, that very few muslims would want to speak up about it.

but honestly, why the extreme reactions by some muslims? Have you read some of the blogs spewing threats? This protest is a small group of young people making a stand against sexism, who may be insensitive in using their chants. but does it represent some dangerous ‘challenge’ to islam? What challenge? It is these kinds of hostile reactions by some muslims that fuel perceptions of islamaphobia.

a more in-depth study and contemplation into religion is needed if one cannot see past the prejudice and treat all human beings with love and compassion.
