PAS defends dress code
2004-01-11
It’s the Joos you see. Not only do the Joos control the US government, the Neo-Cons, Hollywood, the American and European media, all the non-milatant Islamic governments, they also control the Malasian fashion industry. When do they find time to sleep?
PAS has defended the Terengganu government’s imposition of a dress code for women workers, saying that provocative dressing by women has “a very close link” to murders, rapes, molest and sexual abuses.
Possession of a pair of hooters seems to have something to do with it, too...
PAS Youth chief Salahuddin Ayub also blamed Jews for pioneering a “provocative, seductive and branded dressing culture” which prioritised the ego of the dresser. In a statement, Salahuddin said that Kelantan Umno deputy chairman Datuk Zaid Ibrahim’s protest over the ruling showed that he was anti-Islam and that Umno was a proxy of the Jews.
Malaysia, as we all know, is overrun with Jews. Just the other day they caught a half dozen hiding under an imam's bed in Kelantan...
“The question of violating basic human rights does not arise when enforcing the compulsory rule of covering the aurat (parts of the body that should not be exposed according to Islamic belief),” he said. Salahuddin added that it was not a matter of rights but of responsibility to adhere to rules set by Allah.
"You have no rights but those Allah grants you through his spokesmen."
Zaid had said on Monday that it was illegal for Terengganu to impose such a dress code. He said that the local authorities had no right to control the freedom of Malaysians, as stated in the Federal Constitution, especially Article 5 (1), Article 8 (1) and (20). The Constitution do not state that Malaysian women were required to wear only one type of attire while at work, he said. He added that no one had the right to decide how a Muslim or non-Muslim should lead his or her lives.
Zaid appears to be proof that you don't have to park your IQ at the door when you enter a mosque...
The protest was made following the decision by Kuala Terengganu Municipal Council president Dr Sulaiman Abdullah on Sunday that non-Muslim women in the private sector could no longer wear short-sleeve blouses, tight-fitting jeans, long skirts with slits or mini-skirts during working hours. When contacted, MCA Wanita chief Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen said that blaming provocative dressing as the cause of murders, rapes and other sexual crimes showed the narrow thinking of PAS.
It shows thinking?
Citing yesterday’s news of the 10-year-old girl who was raped and killed on her way to school, Dr Ng said that modest dressing would not stop a criminal from committing a crime. She also said that there were many violent cases against decently-dressed women, including the brutal rapes and murders of Canny Ong and computer engineer Noor Suzaily Mukhtar. “They were unfortunate victims and it had nothing to do with what they wore,” she said.
And everything to do with the mental processes of their killers. Perhaps Sulaiman Abdullah should give some thing to introducing a thought code for men? Though actually a societal expectation that they be able to control their impulses would do...
A caller, who wanted to be known as Jai, said that PAS should stop its obsession to reprimand women in every way it could. She said that PAS was oppressing women with the various rulings it imposed ever since the party came into power. “The rulings mostly concern women. What about men and their dressing? Will they ban sports events, including football matches, since the athletes wear shorts and clinging T-shirts?” she said, adding that according to Islam, the aurat for men was the level between the navel and the knees.
Give them time. The Taliban did it. They want to be a Taliban clone...
Puteri Umno chief Azalina Othman had said that the crimes committed should not be related to dressing as even Muslim women who wore the tudung (head cover) were raped.

#3  blamed Jews for pioneering a “provocative, seductive and branded dressing culture”

Doesn't he mean the French and their wildly provacatively sexual way they wear their burhkas (or at least in the near future)?

#2  I'm sure the majority of women living in Islamic countries or areas ruled by Islamic law are raped.
Considering you need four 'pious' muslim male witnesses to prove you were raped, and can be jailed if you accuse someone of rape and cannot 'prove' it, most women just suffer in silence.
Add to this that a man can just say "If you refuse to let me rape you I will tell the authorities you blaspemed the prophet or Quran".
Add to this a woman being in public w/o a male 'keeper' is fair game and considered a slut already...well, you can guess at the amount of unreported rapes.
And Heaven help her if she accidentally shows an ankle.

#1  If the problem is rapes and sexual abuses then a better solution would be to cut the balls of the perpetrators. Ooops, I forgot it is illiciit to touch a hair from Muslim ubermenschen.
