I thought this was a Law&Order,but its Consuming alcohol is a religious offence in Malaysia only for Muslims.

[CommanderSock]

Non Muslims get harassed sometimes too.

Stupid religious fanatics.

I'm trying to imagine this happening in Canada starting at either coast. TG would be the one doing the flogging and Newfette would be sitting around a camp fire of canes.......drinking.

$1:

Proverbs 31:14

[3.] That we have even from the products of the earth, not only for necessity, but for ornament and delight, so good a Master do we serve. First, Does nature call for something to support it, and repair its daily decays? Here is bread, which strengthens man's heart, and is therefore called the staff of life; let none who have that complain of want. Secondly, Does nature go further, and covet something pleasant? Here is wine, that makes glad the heart, refreshes the spirits, and exhilarates them, when it is soberly and moderately used, that we may not only go through our business, but go through it cheerfully.

$1:

Psalm 104:15

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

No wonder some of them are so damned cranky. Have drink and chill Abdullard.

Yet isn't beer a man-made thing? And wasn't it wine, not beer?

I would think pot would be proof of god's love, as it's pretty well ready to use right off the plant.

From the report:

$1:

Consuming alcohol is a religious offence in Malaysia only for Muslims, who make up nearly two-thirds of the population. Offenders are prosecuted in Shariah courts, which handle cases mainly related to family and moral issues for Muslims.

Most offenders are fined, but the law also provides for a three-year prison term and caning. Shukarno was the only Muslim caught in the raid at the Pahang nightclub.

Malaysian clubs and lounges typically serve alcohol but are not legally required to check if customers are Muslim before serving them, so the hotel nightclub operators were not charged with any offence.

So they made an example out of her because it was easy, since she was the only one there muslim.

Doesn't sound too far off from our own societies, where law enforcement make examples out of people over trivial crap.

This is why I no longer follow a religion.... I don't need or want their asses crawling all over everything I do and then feel it's their right to punish me for something they don't approve.

[CommanderSock]

Islam is problematic because if you're born into muslim parents it’s difficult to renounce later on in life as renunciation carries the death penalty.

Ah the religion of 'peace' strikes again.

Religion really is bollocks.

That's a famous quote from Benjamin Franklin.
Beer, in one form or another has been around since the dawn of man and goes hand in hand with farming and the invention of bread.

I'm not sure where your going with this. You suggest that we are just as bad then you warp that into an attack on all religions. Last I looked, we are relatively free to do as we please and you won't even be caned for your pot smoking.
To say we are the same is silly.
