Sodomy Is An Offence, Mustapa Reminds International Community

KOTA BAHARU, Feb 16 (Bernama) -- International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed has stressed to the international community that sodomy is against Islam and the eastern culture in Malaysia.
Mustapa, who is also Kelantan Umno Liaison Chief, said foreigners must first understand the country's beliefs, culture and laws which deemed sodomy as an offence.
"They don't understand our culture, beliefs and laws. They should respect our country's sovereignty and the fact that sodomy is against our religion, beliefs and laws," he said in a speech during a special meeting with Barisan Nasional leaders, here Tuesday.
He was commenting on the act of over 50 Australian politicians who lodged a formal protest urging Malaysia to drop opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy trial saying it would hurt the country's image.
The politicians called for the case against Anwar to be abandoned in the interest of building confidence in the impartial rule of law in Malaysia.
A foreign news agency had reported Australia's foreign affairs parliamentary subcommittee chairman, Michael Danby, as saying that Anwar's second sodomy charge was a shame to Malaysia's democratic system and felt that they needed to support the opposition leader.
The protest letter received mixed reactions from various quarters in Malaysia, whereby some local leaders characterised the Australian Member of Parliament as being extreme and unaware of Malaysia's system of parliamentary democracy.
Mustapa said the international community should not define sodomy through their own eyes, whereby some countries were able to accept the act.
"In the US, there are laws that allow gay marriages. A man can marry another man and a woman can marry another woman.
"Such practices are frowned upon by Muslims in this country and others worldwide as it is against nature. Therefore, the world needs to evaluate Anwar's case through Malaysia's lens and not their own liberal views," he said.

tunku : all the religions in this world is against sodomy but some people especially in western changed their religions rules that suits their lifestyle.anwar should migrate to us so that he can do his sodomy activities without being convicted for the act.furthermore he can get married to his boyfriend there.malaysia should not be bothered with other countries view on anwar's trial.they should respect the law of the country.they can have anwar all for themselves,please take him away from this country.we don't need a person like him on our soil.

Haha

Hurt Malaysia's image? More likely the international audience will regard these Aussies as ignorant, arrogant and bullies.

Who are they to impose their values on other sovereign nations. Their interference just confirms that anwar is guilty of sodomy.

Therefore they try to "legitimise" sodomy so that anwar is rendered "innocent".

Well said Tunku. This country dont need a person of such a character to be our leader as this is a Muslim country.

If the western world like Anwar so much, and as Anwar like to practise sodomy, please by all means allow him to migrate to Australia or USA.There he is free to practise his hobby under the USA and Australian laws. But Anwar being a muslim knows that it is forbidden under the Islamic laws and the law of this country to engage in sodomy.

People who have moral values in this country dont miss him at all.They will only say GET LOST ANWAR.
