Another Muslim imposing his belief onto others

[BuiKia]

It was only a kiss, but an Arab visitor blew his top and attacked two women at a backpackers' lodge here.

The man's outrage was caught on video and posted on YouTube immediately after the 6.30pm incident on Feb 9.

Police are now looking for the suspect, who was seen on the video clip attacking receptionist Dewina Jolilin, 22, and moving towards another woman, said to be the local girlfriend of a Canadian traveller here.

City police chief Asst Comm Ahmad Sofi Zakaria said the receptionist had lodged a police report against the suspect, who was last seen leaving the lodge in a huff in a taxi.

Tourist Daniel Gunn, 30, who recorded the episode, said he had kissed his girlfriend on the cheek in the hall area and this infuriated the Arab man.

"I tried to calm him down but he got angrier," said the Canadian.

Gunn said that at that point Dewina confronted the Arab, which only made him more furious because he reckoned the receptionist, who is a Muslim, should also be angry.

He then hit Dewina in the face with a plastic bag, prompting Gunn and his girlfriend to come to the receptionist's aid.

"My girlfriend told him that he cannot attack a woman. And then, she was also attacked," he said.

The Arab man then stormed out of the lodge and left in a taxi. He did not settle his bill with the lodge. - Kota Kinabalu

It is up to muslims how they want to govern themselves in their own communities. However, they have no right over how other's behave and act outside those communities. That's up to the law.

And for the muslim communities, it is time for them to ask whether reform is needed. We all live in the digital age of globalisation now. Do they still want to remain in the medeival era? And why the difference in norms between rich muslims and poor muslims? Isn't there only one Allah?

Cheers!

China has been managing its Muslims the best, all the way from dynasties of eons ago to PRC today. China has about 50 million Muslims of Hui and other minorities combined. All the ancient emperors and modern presidents made it very clear, they'd be left alone peacefully on the lands they're entitled to as long as they don't invoke and involve religion in politics. Otherwise, they'd be massacred without hesitation. They got the message. It's a fair practice, same applies to Buddhism, Christianity etc. too. Remember the histories of burning down temples and churches when Buddhists and Christians tried to politicize religion in China?

There is no such thing as religious moderate. Religion fanatic hide itself under the banner of religious moderate.

Not only that but the xinjiang region of china is managed pretty well.

On a macro scale, any region can be well managed if you assure them, strike it into their hearts, that they'd be massacred without a blink if they cause trouble. Any leniency is privilege, not entitlement. On a micro scale, as in gangland terroritorial dispute, just assure them that they'd either be limping out or stretchered out.

There will be no peace when there are religions, races and politics.

There will be no peace when there are religions, races and politics.

There'll be peace from playgrounds, territories, towns, cities, counties, provinces, regions, countries and continents if you can assure them, they can be different themselves all they want but you won't hesitate and have the means to massacre them if and when they try to impose their differences on others.

Differences among human beings and human societies are inevitable. The capacity to violence is the guarantor of peace among differences. Let's face it.

If all three mix like rojak, sure fireworks.

Arabs. Treat foreigners and women like their camels. The best is the Jews, Persians and Arabs all nuke each other. Big first step towards world peace.

PLA has a no nonsense policy on dealing with those with different ideas about atheist Beijing.
