“O you who believe, strong drink and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an abomination of Satan’s handiwork. Leave it aside so that you may succeed.” (Qur’an 5:90)
The Ayatollah Khomeini said it: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
It’s not enough for the members of the Islamic party to avoid the casino and thus demonstrate their virtue. It’s not enough to denounce it. It must be closed, so that everyone is forced to be virtuous whether they wish to be or not.
“Malaysia’s only casino is in the political crosshairs as an Islamic party calls for its closure,” by Lionel Lim, Fortune, September 16, 2024:
A view of an indoor amusement park in Genting Highlands resort in Pahang on June 30, 2019. Genting Highlands is also home to Malaysia’s only casino, and an Islamic party wants to shut it down if it takes over the state.
The Resorts World Genting, home to Malaysia’s only casino, could soon be under threat from an Islamic political party….

Malaysia: Islamic party wants to shut down the nation’s only casino

I’m not the biggest fan of gambling, but given that pious Muslims laud child marriage, crushing art and music, and raping and murdering unbelievers, it seems like a pretty innocent pastime.

g, a couple of days ago, I posted info of a story from this same nation about a firm set up by the mb to traffic in sex abuse of children. The government arrested some mozlums for the sexual abuse of hundreds of children, many ill and disabled.
I was surprised to read the account, but pleased too that they were arresting the scummy mozlums for doing that to the little kids.

Under Islamic rule there can not be any FUN or ENTERTAINMENT other than RAPE of women and children. Thats it, the rest of your life is on your knees and misery.

Malaysia is a very racist country, it is one of the countries on my black list that I won’t visit ever.

I was recently in Penang Malaysia in January this year, where I lived previously in the late 1990s, and I was having Lunch with an old Chinese Malaysian friend who was born there and he is involved with many of the Chinese Festivals and he told me that a new Law is that when the Chinese Festival is going down the street singing and dancing etc however when they pass a mosque they must stop singing and dancing and walk SILENTLY past the mosque and then continue once safely past… Malays/muslim/Bumiputra can make all the noise they wish as they pass a Temple, Indian or Chinese as well as a Church.
It is now illegal in Malaysia for a non muslim to use the word allah in public as they say this word is for use by muslims ONLY even this word has been used by Arabic speaking Christians long before muhamh, may piss be upon him, was even thought of as he sat in Cave…
Plus Malaysia is not an Arabic speaking country… Go figure…
This is one of the many reasons I dont live there anymore.
