Of Khalwat and the non-Muslim in Malaysia

The Appeal Judge of Syariah Court, Datuk Mohd Asri b Abdullah proposed that non-Muslims be charged in the civil court if they are caught for 'khalwat' with a non-Muslim. So since they cannot get every Muslim to toe the line, these bright sparks proposed to go after those who are deemed to be part of the problem. To throw part of the responsibility to those who are not bound by their laws, that doesn't sound right, does it? I thought there is no compulsion in Islam. Why must they force their beliefs on others? Very draconian, no compassion, authoritarian.....

Anyway, in everything, there're always people who will not adhere...mix of so many factors. Lack of religious knowledge, desires, temptations, peer pressures, media influence.... This time, I supposed they are trying to scare the 'temptors'?? Cannot change the source, go for the cause.

What more, it's simply unConstitutional. Are they intending to change the Constitution again???.........for this??? After the record (how many times as it stands??) times that it has been amended or change.
