The forces of radical Islam are getting very bold in Malaysia; an American couple was subjected to a humiliating, terrifying 2 am khalwat inspection by “religious enforcement officers:”
Retired American policeman Randal Barnhart, who was subjected to a 2am raid by religious enforcement officers, is reconsidering his plan to make Malaysia his second home.
“After that unpleasant episode two weeks ago, I do not feel like making Malaysia my second home. It is a pity because both my wife and I really love Langkawi,” he said.
On Oct 12, Barnhart, 62, and his wife Carole, 61, were in their rented condominium in Kuah when enforcement officers continuously knocked on their door at 2am, accusing them of committing khalwat (close proximity).
He said the officers demanded to see his marriage certificate, although he had told them that they were Christians and should not be subjected to Islamic law.
“We find it difficult to forget the unpleasant episode. My wife was so terrified by the incident that she fears sleeping in that condominium,” he added.
Banhart said the officers were rude and insisted on “seeing the woman” when he opened the door. “My wife had to show herself despite only having a sarong on at that time. We felt humiliated for being treated this way,” he said.
He said he had to send his wife back to the United States on the next available flight because she feared people might return to the condominium to terrify her in the middle of the night.
She flew home on Wednesday.

“I want the religious department to apologise to me and my wife in writing,”
Uhm, is this guy serious? Is he really this naive and oblivious?
Why would any sane person even consider living in a hell hole that is run by sharia?
How stupid can a person be?
"Liberal American women will be wearing burkas if we lose this WOT"
In one of the local liberal rags there was a story last week supporting this. Some liberal woman went to Iran to report on the situation. The story was about her conversion to Islam and why its good that women wear a burka.
as an ex-cop, one would think that he would not be so naive ?
why anyone, Christian or otherwise would want to go live in a country with a majority of muslims is beyond me.
Good for Helen Thomas
I really have little sympathy for nuts like this. He probably hates America, where he made his fortune or his parents did.
I hope that he will be safe sailing alone.
Is this map accurate ?

the muzzies are here and growing
why are we letting them in ?
It's always wise to avoid correcting other people's grammar unless you're sure you're right.
In this case, you were wrong. The preposition "to" requires the objective case of the noun. Thus it is correct to say "to apologize to me" or "to apologize to me and my wife."
There's nothing wrong with grammar police...unless they don't know their grammar.
When trying to attract tourists, they disassociate Malaysia from Islam.
This action will not help tourism.

Women not only have to wear a burka but also can not leave their house without a male's permission.
This is ok with liberal women ?
What about their same sex marriage ideas ( under islam ) ?
Thanks.
Yes, in this case I was wrong and ended up looking like a boorish nag. That's normally your territory.
" This action will not help tourism. "
Was this done in their main tourist area ?
"Women not only have to wear a burka but also can not leave their house without a male's permission. "
I didn't say it made sense. I only commented that this woman claiming to be a liberal wrote an article on how happy she was under islamic law. it also commented how bad American women were with their bikini's and immoral behavior.
Isn't this the same behavior that liberals push upon us?
"Yes, in this case I was wrong and ended up looking like a boorish nag. That's normally your territory.

I see...
Bizarre. I had Langkawi on my list of places to visit.
Ahh yes,the relentless forces of time and gravity.
