Malesia: convertita all'induismo subisce 'rieducazione' musulmana

[Chaos88 (POL)]

Riporto una brutta notizia che ho trovato online, riguardo ad
una donna di famiglia musulmana in Malesia, che avendo scelto di vivere come
Hindu è stata sottoposta a 'rieducazione' religiosa...


SHAH ALAM, Malaysia (July 6, 2007): A Muslim-born woman who was
> forced to spend six months in an Islamic rehabilitation center
> because she wants to live as a Hindu said Friday after her release
> that she will never return to her original faith.
>
> Revathi Masoosai, 29, said officials at the center tried to make her
> pray as a Muslim, wear a head scarf and eat beef, a practice
> sacrilege to Hindus.
>
> "Because of their behavior, I loathe Islam even more now," she told
> reporters. "They say it's a school, but it's actually a prison."
>
> Her case is one of a growing number of conflicts in Malaysia between
> religious freedom and state policies that favor Islam, the official
> faith of this southeast Asian nation. The battles have strained
> ethnic relations in the multicultural nation.
>
> Malaysia is considered one of the world's most relaxed Muslim
> countries, having enjoyed racial peace for nearly four decades. But
> it follows a dual justice system. Islamic, Shariah, courts administer
> the personal affairs of Muslims, while civil courts govern Hindus,
> Christians, Buddhists and other religious minorities.
>
> Under Islamic law, a person who is born Muslim cannot convert to
> another religion.
>
> The Islamic Religious Department in southern Malacca state detained
> Revathi, an ethnic Indian, in January and sent her for religious
> counseling after officials discovered she had married a Hindu man.
>
> Revathi was released from the rehabilitation center Thursday, and she
> appeared in a High Court on Friday in an attempt to have her
> detention declared illegal. Though she already has served the time,
> her lawyers said they wanted to bring the case to court as a matter
> of principle and to possibly set a precedent for future cases.
>
> Tuah Atan, a lawyer representing the Islamic department, said
> officials remain hopeful that Revathi might still return to Islam.
>
> "From the facts of the case, the authorities still strongly feel she
> can reform," Tuah said.
>
> Revathi was born to Indian Muslim parents who gave her a Muslim name,
> Siti Fatimah. She was raised as a Hindu by her grandmother and
> changed her name in 2001, but her official papers still say she is
> Muslim.
>
> Revathi married Suresh Veerappan in 2004 according to Hindu rites and
> gave birth to a daughter in December 2005. But the marriage was not
> legally registered because under Malaysian law Suresh would have had
> to convert to Islam first.
>
> Islamic officials seized the couple's 18-month-old daughter from her
> Hindu father in March and handed the child to Revathi's Muslim mother.
>
> Revathi said officials have ordered her to live with her mother for
> now and to continue undergoing counseling.
>
> Lim Kit Siang, chairman of the opposition Democratic Action Party,
> said Friday that moderate Muslims must be concerned by such cases
> because they could hurt Malaysia's image by showing "a narrow and
> intolerant face of Islam."

io mi domando se nel mondo la gente sia impazzita: mi spieghino altrimenti, perchè nessuno trova assurdo che i due morbi desertici principali, debbano essere permessi anche altrove, visti i danni creati in occidente, asia e africa.

E magari l'hanno anche pestata a sangue i suoi "familiari" d'altronde sappiamo come viene considerata la donna nelle società abramitiche un essere inferiore senza diritti....
