Proposal to punish non-Muslims for khalwat
This is a disturbing piece of news on The star online . So my dear non-muslim friends, please watch your back. If you see a torch and a loud knock on your door……it could only mean one thing!!
Thoughts?
KUALA LUMPUR: Non-Muslims committing khalwat (close proximity) with Muslims should also be held liable for the crime, two Islamic bodies have proposed in a resolution to be sent to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
The Islamic Institute of Understanding Malaysia (Ikim) and Syariah Judiciary Department Malaysia said non-Muslims found committing khalwat with Muslims should also be sentenced, perhaps in the civil courts.
“Muslims are sentenced in Syariah courts … but we don’t have the jurisdiction to sentence non-Muslims,” Syariah Court of Appeal Judge Datuk Mohd Asri Abdullah said at a seminar on reviewing Syariah laws organised by Ikim and the department.
“Their non-Muslim partners can probably be sentenced in the civil courts, to be fair to both parties,” he told reporters after closing the two-day seminar on Wednesday.
He said the proposal, contained in a draft resolution from the seminar’s findings, would be forwarded to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AG’s Chambers).
“It is up to the AG’s Chambers or the relevant authorities to decide how to create such law,” he said, declining to say when the proposal would be made to the Government.
The two bodies have also proposed stiffer penalties for Muslims caught in such offences as khalwat, prostitution, alcohol consumption and gambling.
