Six Muslim men sentenced to jail, fine for going to waterfall instead of Friday prayers

On a serious note this appear to violate article 18 of the UN Charter of Human Rights:

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Is Malaysia a signatory to this agreement? Time for a little UN actions perhaps.

EDIT: No, they did not, they were not a member when it was written. But since they joined after it was written a signature was not needed. By joining the UN the tacitly agreed to this:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948

Time for the UN to step in a bit here and there.

I think that is very sad. Nobody should be forced to engage in religious practices against their will in my opinion.

What!! That is just a slip of the tongue from full blown homosexuality. We can't have that!

I've been watching the Muslims... I see them everyday, hanging out with each other, sometimes groups of 5 to 10 guys... Never any women around them, and then I see them kissing each others cheeks in the parking garage.

...Weirdos.

So you start your post with " I've been watching the Muslims" and than you call Muslims weirdos. Makes total sense
Hanging out with other people in a group is called socialising, you should try it sometimes. Don't worry it will not turn you into one of those Muslims,it's a normal human behaviour

Sorry, I'm not interested in hanging out with large groups of males only. It seems either totally gay, or at least very senseless and boring.

Segregation of the sexes went out back in the 50's. It's weird now.

Well, that's an inspirational and instructional story. Guess I won't be converting to Islam and moving to Malaysia anytime soon.

If the caliphs and Imams realize their dreams of a world wide Caliphate maybe we will not have to move to Malaysia enjoy the 'benefits' of Sharia law. In fact Sharia law is being practiced in the USA today! Luckily for now both parties must agree to implementation of Sharia Law. Additionally most if not all criminal cases still fall under jurisdiction of US law.

i hope you realize that I do not think that way. Using smilies while telling a joke can be too heavy handed, it spoils the humor. And what makes that joke funny is that it is sadly close to how some think here.

So you have never hung out with your male friends?

Nothing wrong with cheek kissing of a friend or family nember in greeting. It is America that is weird for not embracing this gesture of friendship.

Yeah, I remember hanging out with pretty much male-only friends when I was in grade school.

Yet, the Muslims I see are all grown men.

Still friend's... Grown men or not.

If it was deep tongue kissing you would have a point, assuming you object to a man and woman deep tongue kissing in public. But cheek kissing is a gesture of friendship?
