KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 16, 2015:
Raub MP Datuk Mohamad Ariff Sabri Abdul Aziz in his blog, Sakmongkol AK47, has called for the public shaming of the teenage girls embroiled in the K-pop fiasco to end.
He said these teenagers should be loved and instead of dishing out punishment, people should just pray for them to change their ways.
A video uploaded by Sukan Star TV, recently created widespread backlash after three tudung-clad Malay girls were seen being touched, hugged and kissed by Korean pop band B1A4 members during a meet and greet session on stage.
“They are after all just teenagers, do we have to react so violently?
“What has happened to us Malays? We want to vilify the three girls and give voice to the predators that are starving for blood.
“Our faith has been replaced by views of extremists,” wrote Mohamad Ariff on his blog.
He said the case of the three teenage Muslim girls was not just a case of something inappropriate but how we profess the faith of Islam.
“This is just a minor offence compared to others. Islam is now being used as a tool to vilify others.”
Mohamad Ariff said it was made worse by the closet extremists within our country.
“These people are closet jihadists, Boko Haram, Isis and the Taliban, Islam can be used as a tool to pressure and control people that do not follow our ways.”
He said the Federal Territories Islamic Department (Jawi) director Paimuzi Yahya had threatened the three girls with action, despite having no authority to make arrests.
“As far as I know only the police has the right to issue warrants, remand or even arrest.”
Mohamad Ariff said all the weaknesses of the faith is now being put on the shoulders of these girls.
“Before this, Muslims were perfectly fine, then came along these three girls to lead Muslims astray. God will punish us, therefore we must punish them.
“If we can, let’s drag them out to public, strip them of their clothes and shave their heads to rid other Muslims of sin. Malaysian Muslims will then be safe, should we,” he asked.
He points out that the way Malaysia professed Islam was hard, uncompromising, violent, a huge difference from the “old days”.
“They will follow anything determined by their religious teacher, back in those days we did not even hear of this version of Islam.
“Back in those days a Malay lady is still a Muslim even if she didn’t wear a mini Telekong. There was no one around to belittle her.”
