I think they've confused it with another religion..

You know, I was referring to the one that is always being portrayed in court TV where a witness will have to say with his/her hands on a Bible and say 'I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth.. blah blah blah..'?

Apa dah jadi dah.. This practice of swearing on the Quran has degraded the Quran into another plaything for Muslims in Malaysia. Allah did not bring down the Quran for such purpose but for mankind to seek guidance and learn from it.

A quote from Malaysia Today -->

'Nevertheless, how valid is this swearing on the Quran, which Saiful conducted in the Federal Territory Mosque? Does such a thing exist in Islam? Apparently not, according to Perlis Mufti Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, PAS President Abdul Hadi Awang, PAS Spiritual Leader Nik Aziz Nik Mat, PAS Deputy Spiritual Leader Dr Haron Din, and the host of other Islamic scholars regarded as authorities on Islam by most Malays. Anyway, even before Saiful pulled off his little circus stunt, and even before these scholars commented on the spectacle, I had already said that there is no such thing in Islam and is the act of deviant Muslims.'

In case you are wondering what I am blabbering about, it's about what's going on in Malaysia right now. There is this university dropout, Saiful Bukhari, who has accused Anwar Ibrahim of sodomy and the de facto leader of PKR has been charged in court. In 1998, he was accused of the same thing, get beaten up by a POLICEMAN while being detained, got severe back injury due to that and THEN in the end, the court threw out the sodomy charge because of lack of evidence.

In Saiful's sumpah, he said that he was forcefully sodomised. What I don't understand is how 61-year old man with a bad back who can force himself on a 23-year old man who is bigger and stronger than him? Not once, but a few times.. on days that Anwar Ibrahim was having a meeting with 5 people.. And a report leaked from a private hospital showed that Saiful was checked and the doctor has stated that no penetration has occurred..

It.simply.defy.logic.
