Muslim Cops
A religion preached by Holy Prophet Muhammad, Islam is one of the three largest religions in the world, yet there are very confusing and disturbing matters in this religion. It has by far the most restrictions in any religion I've ever come across, from what they consume to how what they wear. No offence against the Muslims or their religion. I'm sure that there are probably alot of issues I wouldn't understand. But I'm just opinionated.
I read this article about a Muslim father of a teenage girl who would occasionally party with his friends say that he has nothing against clubs and bars but, he just does his best to make sure she goes to the 'right' clubs. How many Muslim Dads would actually be this understanding? It's not easy to find the 'right' clubs with his high standards but he tries. The club should be a decent place situated within a decent neighbourhood, without drug records and must not be a hang-out area for people who are bad news. The place also has to be popular with both foreigners and locals.
He would ask his friends in the police force for second opinions about a particular clubs. It seems there are quite a number of 'right' clubs to go to in the city of Kuala Lumpur. His friend named a club that was raided not too long ago which happens to be his daughters favourite but she was lucky she wasn't partying that night but the other Malay Muslim youths who were there, weren't so lucky.
They were locked up, abused, and treated badly. They were not allowed to relieve themselves until one of the girls cried and urinated in her pants. They were abused by officers who were crude and rude. During the rest of the week, there were endless calls from furious parents and victims of the raid. The anger was not directed at Jawi since some said Jawi had a job to do. But the issue wasn't on what they did but the way the officers got the job done. Those officers have given Jawi a bad name.
Crime analyst said some officers tend to get carried away and become heavy-handed and that is where they go wrong. This wasn't a first but it was certainly one of the largest raids (about 100 youths locked up).
A few years ago, there was a case on a club performer who was detained by the Jais for 'insulting Islam by being in areas where alcohol is served'. The charge was dropped. Jais officials publicly handcuffed three Malay Muslims for taking part in a beauty pageant in the 90s.
Can these people really do that? In a country like Malaysia where majority of the citizens are Malay Muslims, they probably could. But personally, I think the youths should have a choice and the freedom to choose what they believe in. The best one could try and do is to guide them and allow their youths to set their own values and make their own mistakes. At the end of the day, they'll be paying for their 'sins' right? So are these people who are supposed to protect really doing their job correctly or is this an act of discrimination against the 'sinners'? Is Islam a religion of intolerance?
