Culprits behind deviant poll on asatizah to face ‘stern action’ if found to be Islamic studies grads

[Voldermort]

SINGAPORE — If graduates of Islamic studies are found to be behind an online poll asking others to rank which female asatizah (or religious teacher) should be gang-raped, the Asatizah Recognition Board has said that it would not hesitate to take stern action against them.

They will also be barred from teaching Islam to the Muslim community in Singapore “in whatever form”, the board that accredits asatizah in Singapore said in a statement on Saturday (May 29).

The board, which was formed by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) in 2004, urged the community not to speculate further on the matter because it is being investigated by police.

It added: “The Asatizah Recognition Board strongly condemns the act as it violates the norms of decency and morals in Islam. This matter is very serious and needs to be addressed immediately.”

Earlier this week, the poll sparked outrage in the Muslim community, drawing rebukes from public figures including President Halimah Yacob, who wrote that she was deeply perturbed when she found out about it.

At least 245 people had taken part in the poll, which ranked 12 female asatizah.

Islam is congruent with the international human rights principles of penalty and mercy.

They are to be punished and encouraged to sincerely repent and not repeat their wrongdoing.
If so, only by Allah's grace may they be forgiven.

That is why in Islam we do not have wasteful incarceration. It does not achieve its objective nor does it work to encourage reform.
