Three civilian plane tragedies in one week-- MH17, GE222, AH5017

On 17th of July 2014, we were surprised by the second Malaysia Airlines flight tragedy, MH17. A Boeing 777-200ER was shot down in Ukraine when the plane, with registration number 9M-MRD was en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. All 283 passengers and 15 crew perished.

9M-MRD

On 23rd of July 2014, Transasia Airways flight GE222 crashed on a residential area in Taiwan while attempting to land due to bad weather. 48 died and 10 survived. The plane was an ATR-72-500 with registration number B-22810.

B-22810

On 24th of July, a week after MH17 was shot down in Ukraine, Air Algerie AH5017 lost contact and disappeared from radar 50 minutes after take-off. The McDonnel Douglas MD-83, with registration number EC-LTV diverted from its planned path due to extreme weather, disappeared from radar and was found crashed in Mali. AH5017 was a flight from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso to Algiers, Algeria. There were 110 passengers and 6 crew members on board the flight and all were presumed dead. The plane was owned by Spanish private airline company SwiftAir but was operated by Air Algerie, an Algerian flag carrier.

R.I.P to those who perished because of these three tragedies. My condolences reach out to families of the victims. This week is really a sad and tragic week for civil aviation. :'(

MH17: "Flight Routes over Dangerous Zones" etc

It was in the early dark morning, my mommy woke me up and shocked me with another Malaysia Airlines tragedy. "Poor MAS. This is another one. Its plane was shot down in Ukraine. All perished" my mommy said.

Since the cause of the crash was shot down, I thought no one would blame Malaysia Airlines for the tragedy like they did when the disappearance of MH370 was a hot topic but I was wrong. Some people still blamed MAS for the crash because MH17 and other MAS flights fly over a wartorn area.

"Why did the plane flew over a wartorn area?"

"MAS just wants to save fuel and money".

"Should we trust MAS again?". 

 blah blah blah etc etc etc.

Why don't these people ask these questions by changing the word 'MAS' to any other airline company too such as Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Aeroflot any other airlines that have flights that used to fly over eastern Ukrainian airspace too?

Moreover the battlefield in eastern Ukraine was also considered safe by ICAO. So why only blame MAS?

This blaming is so unfair. You think MAS and MH17 pilots really wanted the plane to be shot down?  It was not only MH17 that flew over Ukraine at that time. Singapore Airlines and India Air were only miles away from the doomed airliner when 3 of them were flying over Ukraine. I am not defending MAS and saying that it is a right thing to fly over a conflicting area such as Ukraine. All airlines including MAS must avoid flying over conflicting areas. There were many other airlines and flights that flew in eastern Ukrainian airspace before.

Furthermore there are currently many other flights that fly over other conflict areas such as Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.

Some people also talked rubbish about MH17 pilots for diverting from original path. You think pilots can change their flight direction wherever they want? The divertion was most probably under command of Ukrainian ATC. The people who talked crap about MH17 pilots are so insensitive because the pilots were among the 298 people who were aboard the ill-fated flight.

Also please read this on CNN:

Many flights soar over conflict zones

MH17 Crash: The Blame-games and Finger-pointings

The plane before it crashed

First of all, my condolences and heart go out to the families of victims aboard the ill-fated plane which is reportedly to be shot down by surface-to-air missiles. I pray that God will give them strength to continue their lives and the ones who brought the plane down will be punished for murdering innocent people.

Since the plane crashed on Ukrainian-Russian border:

• Ukraine blames Russian-backed separatists and Russian government.
• Russia blames pro-Ukrainian militants.
• Some people put the blame on Malaysia Airlines because most of their flights to Europe fly over the crash site in Ukraine.

 

The first 2 blamings and finger-pointings are not only on the news. They are all over Youtube video comments, news comments sections and other website comments sections, mostly made by Russians and Ukrainians.

The most important thing is to find the retarded criminals and bring them to justice no matter whether they are Russians, Ukrainians or whatever. 

Furthermore, dear pro-Russians who got the plane black box and want bring it to Moscow, please return it to Malaysia or Malaysian authority because the plane belongs to Malaysia so Malaysia has full rights to investigate the black box. (EDIT: The Ukrainian rebels who held the black boxes withheld them because they wanted to hand it over to Malaysian authority)

Women and Honour-Shame System / Society

In modern countries such as USA, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, women there are lucky for not being too much burdened with 'protecting honor' responsibility. I don't really know how free the women there are from honor-shame system. Maybe women in rural parts of these countries are just like some parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan or India, who knows? 

This 'honor-shame system' is only put on women. Typically only women are expected to keep their virginities and their virginities are equivalent to the availability of their hymens. According to the societies that have this 'honor-shame system', hymen = virginity = honour. This crappy uncivilised system has often comitted honour-killing of female rape victims, putting rape victims to jail, forcing rape victims to marry their rapists to restore family's honours and limiting women's rights and freedoms because their main responsibility for their families is to protect families' honours. 

Hymen does not only break during first intercourse. Horse-riding may also cause the breaking of hymens. There are also some women who still have hymens even though they have had intercourse before. So virginity = hymen is just stupid.

Honour-shame system is really widespread in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, most lands in Middle East (including Israel and Georgia).

This system or custom is unfair and sexist because it is only put on women. When a man sexually assaults a woman, the man is not considered to be breaking his family's honour while the poor woman is the one who is considered to be breaking her family's honour / bringing shame to family, according to this system.

No one cares whether a man is a virgin or not but women are highly expected to keep virginity befpre marriage. If a man and a woman are caught having sex outside of marriage, the woman is the one that is mostly looked down on while people don't really give a damn about the man, according to this system.

In Saudi Arabia, one of the reasons of why women must cover up in all-black clothes is because it is a way for women to protect their and families' honours and to honour themselves. So how about men? How should men keep their honours? Men can wear normal and casual clothes while women can only be covered in all-black when leaving home because of honour? Is every woman naturally a dishonour so to honour themselves is to cover up in fully black?

How come only women must keep virginity while whether a man is a virgin or not should not be given a damn about?

Women are humans. Women are neither objects of sexual exhibitions nor sexual / shameful / precious / ornamental objects that must be hidden.

I am NOT suggesting or supporting sexual promiscuity of women here but I am just expressing how much I am against honor-shame system.

This system should be thrown from all over the world to garbage sites.

Congratulations and Thank You Germany for Making Me Happy!

I have been waiting for this for 4 years, since the 2010 World Cup. Before 2010 World Cup, I didn't know jack about football and had no idea what 'World Cup' was.

This makes me really happy. It fades away some of my sadness. It puts a smile on my face. Germany's victory in this World Cup tournament is really meaningful to me.

Though Germany does not have the most World Cup like Brazil does, Germany has entered the most finals and semi-finals, has the most finishes in the top 4, top 3 and top 2, has the most second-place and third-place finishes, has the highest number of goals scored and the most matches played. I don't think how many World Cups a team has is the only thing that matters to decide how good a team is.

Throughout the final match between Germany and Argentina I shivered a lot. I was so scared if the Argentines took revenge on Germany for beating them in 1990 final, 2006 quarter-final in penalty shootouts and for thrashing them 4-0 in 2010 quarter-final.

This is the match stats of Germany vs Argentina in 2014 World Cup final.

Germany had a much higher ball possession that Argentina did. Unlike the quarter-final in 2010 World Cup, even though Germany defeated Argentina 4-0 Germany had lower ball possession than Argentina at that time. Germany also had more shots on target than Argentina did. So I think these also make the Germans played quite better than Argentina but Argentina attacked the most at second extra-time especially after Mario Götze scored a goal that lead Germany to the 4th World Cup title. 

Congratulations to Lionel Messi (Argentina) for the golden ball awards, Manuel Neuer (Germany) for the golden glove award and James Rodriguez (Colombia) for the golden boot award and the top scorer of this tournament.

It's not how many goals scored that makes a team great. Germany only won 1-0 against USA but look at the stats.

Germany had much higher ball possession. Germany had the most shots and shots on target. 8 out of 9 shots on target by Germany were saved by American goalkeeper. 1 unsaved shot of target was probably the goal scored by Germany. Some people use this match score as their argument why Germany is not really great despite thrashing Brazil 7-1.

The USA also has a great goalkeeper.

About Pepe vs Thomas Müller during Germany vs Portugal, Müller may overreacted. But he did not call the referee to give red card to Pepe and Pepe was sent off was not because of Thomas Müller falling. Some people blame Müller for the red card given to Pepe and talked s*** about Müller like Pepe was an angel. The referee gave red card to Pepe because Pepe headbutted Müller. Why on earth did Pepe headbutt Müller. If Pepe didn't do that I don't think he would be sent off. Fighting during match is really unprofessional and childish and Pepe deserved the red card.

The thug called Pepe headbutting Thomas Müller

Though some of you guys especially Portugal fans hate Thomas Müller, he is still my no 1 favourite footballer. He has had 10 goals in World Cup at only 24 years old and has only played at 2 World Cups. This is amazing. Haters gonna hate. Who knows one day he might break Miroslav Klose's record of all-time World Cup top-scorer? 

4 stars now.

Palestine and Anti-Semitism in Malaysia

Oh calm down especially if you are a Palestine-supporting Malaysian. I am not here to write that I support Israel. Not at all. My tongue sticks out to the Zionists and the Israhell :p 

 

I would like to talk about both what Malaysians think of Palestine and anti-Semitism in Malaysia.

Starting off with Palestine, Most Muslims are very strong supporters of the Palestinians. That's not the problem and I also do not have any problem with it. One of the things that bothers me is Malaysians only care and are only concerned about the Palestinians who are Muslims. All they say is "O' God! Please protect and save our Muslim brothers and sisters in Gaza from the Jews, may God curse them". And they are also only willing to donate to Palestinian Muslim by saying "let's donate to Muslims in Palestine". So this proves that most Malaysian Muslims only want to help Muslims who suffer and only feel enraged when Muslims are killed or tortured especially if the killers are non-Muslims. The situations of the Palestinians are undeniably hurting to see and is even more hurting to feel what they are facing. But if you are a true supporter of peace and humanity, then you'd support all innocent victims and people who suffer regardless of their religions or race. Malaysian Muslims support the Palestinians simply because the majority of the Palestinians are Muslims, not because of humanitarian reason. It seems like they don't care about Palestinian non-Muslims who are killed by Israelis. 

Also, many Malaysian Muslims, as well as other Muslims especially non-Arabs think that Israeli-Palestinian conflict is because the Israelis want to destroy Islam and kill Muslims. The conflict between Israel and Palestine is mainly because of race and land, not religion.

Jews who oppose the State of Israel and condemn the atrocities committed by Israelis in Gaza.

Since a few years ago, the feeling of awe and respect towards Adolf Hitler in Malaysia has been rising. Some Malaysian Muslims have begun to feel like it is really necessary to annihilate ALL the Jews and what Adolf Hitler did was really a good job.

When I was 14 or 15, my dad told me who Hitler really was. He said that Hitler was actually a good person and had already known that the Jews are evil (according to people like my dad) so Hitler massacred a huge number of Jews and left a few number of Jews because he wanted to show who Jews really are to the world. That was what my dad said. At that time I was quite gullible and easily believed what I was told by Islamists so I believed what my dad said and started loving Hitler. My dad also said that Osama bin Laden was actually a hero who fought the Americans for killing Muslims so I also loved Osama. When I was 16, early 16, at school, teacher asked students to write about themselves on papers. I wrote on a paper that I wanted to kill all the Jews as my wish and sent to the teachers. When I got older and had broadened my mind when I was 16, I started to feel stupid and regretted of what I have written. I hope the paper has been thrown somewhere. I was just like any other Islamist before I was 16 and a half years old.

A few days ago I received this on WhatsApp from my dad:

The title of the article reads as "Golden Quotes" in English

And the quote below reads in English as:

I could kill all Jews when I was in power. I left a few so that you'd know the Jews and find the answer to why I killed them. 

Adolf Hitler

My dad shared that in hope I would support it but I have changed. I am NOT a pro-Zionist but it is so ridiculous to massacre all Jews because of what some of them are doing.

Based on what I have been observing by myself, Malaysian Muslims are very very very very very one-sided against Israel. According to them it is entertaining when Israeli teenagers are killed / kidnapped (we don't know whether the Israeli teenagers had anything to do with Zionists or not). It is so delightful to them if the the whole Jewish ethnicity is eradicated because they believe all the Jews are onto something against all Muslims and Islam. Everything about Jews is bad to them. According to them all the Jews are terrorists. They are like Islamophobes who say that all Muslims are terrorists. But it makes them feel enraged when it is Muslims that are killed or tortured by non-Muslims.

In conclusion, according to them, Israeli or Jewish civilians can be killed, but Palestinian or any Muslim civilians cannot be killed.

To revenge enemies is only to fight the ones who commit the crime, not the civilians who are from the enemies' groups or countries.

Another thing that is so ridiculous about this is Malaysian Muslims use the word Jews and Americans interchangeably. Their logic is based on the alliance between United States and Israel. What kind of 'logic' is that? It is like saying Malaysians are Australians or vice versa because Malaysia and Australia are good friends. They say McDonalds, KFC, Starbucks and other American companies or products are Jewish products.

Sometimes I wonder what if the Palestinians were non-Muslims in majority while the Israelis were predominantly Muslims. Would Malaysian Muslims care about the Palestinians?

A Quite Rational Way to Reduce or Overcome Baby-dumping.

In some countries and places such as Malaysia, mothers who dumped their babies are mostly women who got pregnant outside of marriage because of fear of rejection by families and society. Most of the baby dumpers in Malaysia are Malays who happen to be Muslims. Muslims in Malaysia are often taught how despicable and hateful sex outside of marriage is and how immoral and shameful the people who commit it are so women who got pregnant outside of marriage usually dump their babies, sometimes kill before dumping them somewhere or try best to abort their fetuses to avoid rejection and persecutions by parents and families. The women who dump or kill their babies are usually those whose babies' fathers do not want to take responsibility for impregnating them. And of course, the women are the ones that are mostly get the blame and insults. Baby-dumping or pembuangan bayi in Malay is very serious in Malaysia.

Dumped baby in a basket

China has 'baby hatches' where mothers can leave their babies there anonymously. Malaysia and other countries where baby-dumping is very serious should launch or open more baby-hatches where mothers who do not want their babies for fear of rejections, insults and persecutions by family members can leave their babies there anonymously. Please do not whine "oh, it would just make more people want to have sex outside marriage" or "oh, it would make more parents abandon their infants there". Oh please! No one is able to stop anyone from doing something they mutually agree to do and parents who are legally married would never abandon their babies. At least these baby-hatches that people can leave their babies anonymously can reduce or overcome baby-dumping and infant mortality.

Hypocrisy and Idiocy of Overly American / Western Patriots

Hi!

I did not mean to be racist and to say that all Americans are hypocrites. I just would like to point out the overly American patriots' idiocy and hypocrisy.

HYPOCRISY

Overly American patriots tend to think they they are the best nations and US / The West is the most civilized place on Earth and they look down on countries which they perceive as 'primitive', 'barbaric' or 'third class nations' such as Saudi Arabia . Well I wholeheartedly agree that Saudi Arabia has a barbaric law which discriminates against women, has almost the worst 'freedom of speech' and has violated Human Rights for a countless of times but if you (overly American patriots) think that you are so civilized then why do you let your Government to still ally Saudi Arabia (and other Wahhabi/Salafi-based countries)? Why don't you guys just try to boycott Saudi Arabia and stop buying their oils (if your country is really doing) if you are very 'civilized' and care about humans right?

The overly American patriots often assert that the radical Muslims and Islamists are really evil and Sharia is evil. Okay fine but why do you (overly American patriots) do not protest against alliance between your beloved 'first-world' country and the countries that you perceive as barbaric?

IDIOCY

Overly American patriots often say and believe these stupid things:

1. All Arabs live in desert.
2. All Arabs ride camels.
3. All Arab women cover up with black curtains.
4. All Arab women are not allowed to drive.
5. All Middle-Easterners are Arabs.
6. Iranians, Pakistanis and Afghans are also Arabs.
7. All Arabs are Muslims.
8. All Muslims live in desert.
9. All Muslims ride camels.
10. All Muslim women cover up with black curtains.
11. All Muslim women are not allowed to drive.
12. All Middle-Easterners are Muslims.
13. All Arabs / Muslims live in backward and primitive society.
14. Africa is a country and All people living in Africa live in jungles.

Overly American patriots, I do not care if you criticize the religion Islam if you have your points but if you are a 1st world nation, you should not think this way (the list I wrote above).

The only country and the last country that prohibits women to drive is Saudi Arabia, not the entire Muslim and Arab worlds. Iranians speak Persian and they are Persians. If any of you stupidly say "I hate anything Iranian", if you have a Persian cat then I think you should stop keeping it because the cat originated from Iran. Google 'tourism in Jordan', 'tourism in Morocco', 'tourism in Egypt' and you would see that these places and the people there are not really what you really think they are.

I hope the 'first world nation' called Americans will truly act as first world nation.

Why the 'Malaysian "Allah" Issue' is Ridiculous (JAIS, JAKIM, ISMA, Zahid Hamidi et al. Should Know)

is just an Arabic word for God / Almighty God / the soul deity. 

Allah (الله) is the contranction of al (ال) + ilah (إله). 'al' is Arabic definite article (the), 'ilah' is god, divinity, deity. So, literally Allah means 'the god', thus, God, with capital G. The difference between ilah and Allah is, ilah has singular and plural form while 'Allah' is THE ilah, and always singular. Both ilah  and Allah are of the same root:

ا ل ه

'Ilah' is best used to refer to god of many gods, or polytheistic gods, or something that is deified such as Amon-Ra, god of love, god of war, god of fertility, Krishna etc. 'Rabb' is an Arabic word for Lord or in Malay 'Tuan', not 'Tuhan'.

There should be no monopoly of this Arabic word, because it is just an Arabic word. There are so many people think that this Arabic word "Allah" is name of Muslim/Islamic God. It is not. It is just an Arabic word. When translating Arabic books, the word 'Allah' is also often translated. However many Qur'an translations, Hadiths translations and other Islamic books that are not in Arabic just leave the Arabic word 'Allah' untranslated. It is mainly because most translators of those books/scriptures are people from non-Arab countries and believe that 'Allah' is Islamic God's name. This has made the majority people on this Earth, mostly non-Arab speakers think that 'Allah' is name of Muslim/Islamic God/Creator.

Arabs do not have any problems with this Arabic word "Allah", no matter if they are Christians, Muslims, Deists etc because they know it is just a word in their language. Non Muslim Arabs do not use 'ilah' or Rabb to refer to God, they use 'Allah'. But in Malaysia, people are fighting over 'Allah', some Muslims in Malaysia are strongly against non-Muslims using that word to refer to God/Creator. They think that it is name of Muslim God/Creator so they want to defend the holiness of  'Allah'.

These are the faces of the Malaysian idiots. I am pretty sure many Arab speakers who see this will say this is stupid. 

The so-called 'Allah' defenders will quote this chapter from Qur'an to justify the banning of non-Muslims from using the Arabic word 'Allah':

قل هو الله أحد
Transliteration: Qul: Huwa Allahu Ahad
English: Say: He is Allah(God), The One.

الله الصمد
Transliteration: Allahu asSamad
English: Allah(God), The Eternal.

لم يلد ولم يولد
Transliteration: Lam yalid walam yoolad
He does not beget, nor was begotten

ولم يكن له كفوا أحد
Transliteration: walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad
English: And there is none who is His equal.

Religious scripture should not be made as lexicons and dictionaries. Qur'an was revealed in Arabic so logically the Arabic word 'Allah' is also used in original Qur'an. Of course you cannot find the word 'Allah' in original Bible because Bible was not revealed in Arabic. The word 'Allah' has been used by Arabs, regardless of faiths, since thousands of years ago, even before the Qur'an was revealed and Prophet Muhammad was born.

This is a video of a Lebanese Christian singer, Majida El Roumi. See, the word "Allah" there? She was singing in a church. Are Malaysians who are 'Allah' defenders going to Lebanon and chase after this woman and churches?

this video is just one of the examples.

 Arabic Bible, Chapter John 3. You can see the occurences of the Arabic word الله, if you are not lazy to find and search it.

There is also الله in this Arabic Bible passage. Look carefully.

And if you go to 'learn Arabic' websites, Allah is translated into God, with capital G. And InshAllah is translated into God willing. And phrases such as InshAllah (God willing), alhamdulillah (praise be to God), bismillah (in the name of God) are going to be taught in Arabic courses. There is no notice like "ATTENTION! Allah is only for Muslims, non-Muslims have to use 'ilah' " put in any 'learn Arabic' websites. 

Are Malaysian Muslims who are 'Allah' defenders going to fly to Arab countries and throw Molotov cocktails to churches there like they have done to a church in Penang?

Stop being stupid, please. I am pretty sure even Arab al-Qaeda members will say those 'Allah' defenders are stupid. If Osama bin Laden was still alive, I am pretty sure he would have laughed his a** off when he learned that some Malaysians Muslims are monopolizing this Arabic word 'Allah'.

Please stop making Malaysia a laughable country.

Something About Rape that PAS, ISMA, Meleis and EVERYONE ELSE Must Know

Rape is a sexual assault or having sex with someone without her/his consent. It is an act of violence. Rape is rape, whether it is done in marriage or outside marriage, it is an act of violence.

Rape is one of the most underreported cases. Most crime statistics, including rape rates are based only on reported cases. they do not include the cases that are left unreported. Although we are now living in 21st century, honor-killing, victim-blaming, forced-marriage, equating rape to adultery or fornication, punishing rape victims with imprisonment or/and lashings and not recognising marital rape as rape still exist in this world today, mostly in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and other suchlike countries. These countries are often under observations by Humans' Rights Watch.

...and blaming a rape victim for not wearing 'modest' clothes is like blaming victims of robbery for having lots of money and being too rich.

It saddens me that there are some morons who still think that it's women's fault when they are raped. They will point out that the causes of rape are how women dress and behave and the legalizing of gender mixing, and of course, they will brag how low the rape rates in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan etc where women are expected to cover almost all parts of their bodies are and how high the rape rates in advanced countries such as United States of America, United Kingdom, Korea, Sweden etc are. These people actually never give a damn that those statistics that we can easily get are based only on reported cases, the statistics do not include the cases that go unreported. Oh what about incest (or Malays call it sumbang mahram)? What about child rape? The child's fault for not covering in front of his/her father? What about men anal-raping men? The men's fault for not wearing turbans?

In USA, UK, Sweden and other suchlike countries, rape victims can report with no fear because those countries do not punish rape victims. Instead, they punish the rapists. That's why rape rates in those countries are so high whereas in countries like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, rape victims are often blamed for inciting rape, punished, forced to marry their rapists, denied justice for failing to bring four "good" male witnesses of the rape incident and even honour-killed so which rape victims in those countries dare to report for being raped? Who the hell can successfully rape a person in front of good people? This 'four-witnesses' rule is what makes rape rates in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan etc very "low" and it's the fear to report that makes rape rates in certain countries are very low.

Ever heard of the gang-rape victim from Qatif, Saudi Arabia? She went out with a male companion, the two got kidnapped and the girl got gang-raped by six men. She was actually married to another man. Before the incident, she only knew the stranger guy only on the phone. The guy had threatened her to tell about their relationship to her family  if she did not give her photo to him so she gave. One day, she also asked for the guy's photo but the guy would only give if she came out with him in his car. That's when the gang rape happened and when she reported to police, she was sentenced to prison and lashes. How is this fair? I have also heard some Saudi Arabians making excuses "that girl committed adultery with the stranger guy" blablabla.

Go read somewhere about rape in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc and how the rape victims are treated instead of whining "oh look at Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan etc, rape rates are very low." etc. 

This is a video, in Malay, of Nik Aziz, the spiritual leader of PAS (Parti Islam Se-Malaysia / Malaysian Islamic Party) giving a speech about the the compulsion of covering the awrat, and in this speech, he said women who do not cover their awrat deserve to be raped and he even supported the rape of such women! I know what he was saying because I understand Malay.

Nik Aziz:

Dah dia buka aurat, dirogol. Padanlah muka dirogol! Dia jual murah-murah. Dia jual murah-murah betis dia, muka dia, paha dia... Rogol lah! Jual murah-murah. ROGOL LAH!  Peduli apa?

(In English: She shows her awrat and gets raped. It serves her right! She displays herself. She exposes her legs, her face, her thighs... Just rape her! [She] makes herself look cheap. JUST RAPE HER! Who cares?)

Note: Jual murah-murah literally means "sell cheaply". I try not to translate it too literally. "She" refers to any woman.

For those who do not know what awrat means, awrat (عورة) is an Arabic word word for shame, indecency, intimate part, nakedness. In mainstream Islamic teachings, women's awrat or nakedness in front of unrelated men is everything except the face and hands. So according to this Nik Aziz guy, women who do not cover their arms, hair, necks, legs etc deserve to get raped. Seriously?

Does this PAS party ever given a damn about domestic violence, discrimination against women, forced marriage, incest? Forcing women to wrap themselves from head to toe does not solve rape. Rapists do not give a damn about how the potential victims dress when they want to rape. Telling women not to go outside or to cover almost all parts of their bodies are only teaching how to not be raped instead of how to not rape. Do PAS leaders recognise marital rape as rape? I do not think so. Many PAS supporters are only concerned about how much clothes women should wrap themselves, how much a wife should satisfy her husband's sexual lusts and how awesome polygamy is. They have almost never concerned about basic human's right. Kelantan, the state in Malaysia which is under PAS rule is the most backward state in West Malaysia.

Below are some of the myths vs facts about rape that I would like to show here:

MYTH: Women incite men to rape.

FACT: Research has found that the vast majority of rapes are planned. Rape is the responsibility of the rapist alone. Women, children and men of every age, physical type and demeanor are raped. Opportunity is the most important factor determining when a given rapist will rape.

MYTH: Women "ask for it" by their dress or actions. 

FACT: Rapists look for victims they perceive as vulnerable, not women who dress in a particular way. Assuming that women provoke attacks by where they are or the way they dress is victim-blaming. No person, whatever their behaviour, "deserves" to be raped.

MYTH: Most rapes occur when people are out alone at night. If people stay at home, then they will be safer.

FACT: 44% of rapes reported to the Orange County Rape Crisis Center in 1991 occurred in the victim's home.

MYTH: Only young, pretty women are assaulted. 

FACT:  Survivors range in age from infancy to old age, and their appearance is seldom a consideration. Assailants often choose victims who seem most vulnerable to attack: old persons, children, physically or emotionally disabled persons, substance abusers and street persons. Men are also attacked.

MYTH: Rape is an impulsive, uncontrollable act of sexual gratification. Most rape are spontaneous acts of passion where the assailant cannot control him/herself.

FACT:  Rape is a premeditated act of violence, not a spontaneous act of passion. 71% of rapes are planned in advance. 60% of convicted rapists were married or had regular sexual partners at the time of the assault. Men can control their sexual impulses. The vast majority of rapists are motivated by power, anger, and control, not sexual gratification.

MYTH: Women who are drunk are willing to engage in any kind of sexual activity.

FACT: The fact that a woman has been drinking does not imply consent. Alcohol and drugs can render a woman incapable of consent.

MYTH: It is impossible for a husband to sexually assault his wife.

FACT:  Regardless of marital or social relationship, if a woman does not consent to sexual activity, she is being sexually assaulted. In fact, 14% of women are victims of rape committed by their husband.

Taken from: List of RAPE MYTHS Sociology of Rape University of Minnesota Duluth

You can also read here: (Malaysian) Women's Aid Organisation: Rape

This entry is also a response to this sickening news: Arab News: Women Invite Rape, Says Indian Leader and you can see a stupid comment made by a person under the nickname Hafsah, which blames the rape victims for getting raped for being around unrelated men and if the women were not with unrelated men, the gang rape would have never taken place. What a stupid victim-blaming comment.What about father raping his daughter? Isn't father a girl's related man? Stop thinking like people who are of third class mentality and low intellectual.

Also, this entry is also a response to a very stupid article Tranung Kite: Ustaz Nik Aziz is Right

The guy in the photo is protesting against rape. I think it is in India.

Don't be angry with the title of this thread for mentioning PAS and ISMA.

Another old news, for you to think:

The above video is especially for the Malays Muslims who are Arab wannabes. Many Malay Muslims do not take heed or give a damn about something gross like this happening in Saudi Arabia.

Stop this victim-blaming. Let's recognise marital rape as rape. Stop thinking that it's husbands' right to have sex with their wives even without the wives' consent. Rape is an act of violence and most rapists rape to weaken the victims. That's why rape is very widespread during war. There is also news of female prisoners who have been raped, tortured and abused.

Lets be civilized and trash barbarity. No to stone age customs!
