Young Muslim Couple Causes Five Car Pileup While Fleeing Police for Making Out
Wednesday, October 17, 2007
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia —
A young Muslim couple tried to speed off when Malaysian police caught them making out in their car but got into an accident, causing a five-car pile up, a report said Wednesday.
A police patrol car spotted the couple locked in an intimate embrace late Monday in their car parked at a hypermarket in Muar town in southern Johor state, The Star newspaper said.
As the patrol car neared them, the couple sped out of the car park onto a main road and collided with a passing car, causing three other vehicles to crash, the report said.
The unidentified couple, both in their 20s, have been detained and the man has been booked for reckless driving, it said.
Muar traffic police officer Lim Aik Sin told the daily that the couple have been referred to the district Islamic religious department. The man is a factory worker in nearby Malacca state while the woman, from Johor, studies in a college in Kuala Lumpur, Lim was quoted as saying.
Lim couldn't be reached for further details and other Muar police officers declined to comment.
Unmarried Muslim couples found alone together in a private place can be charged for "khalwat," or "close proximity," which is a crime under Malaysia's Islamic laws and carries a jail sentence of up to two months.
Malay Muslims, who comprise about 60 percent of Malaysia's 27 million people, are subject to Islamic morality laws. Chinese, Indian and other minorities come under the country's civil laws.

It must really suck to be young, in love AND muslim.
Just a reminder why Islam is "The Religion of Peace."
Islam is like Communism. Repressive, totalitarian, dictatorial, brutal, inhumane, the list goes on. They are both beautiful.....and our far left loves them both.
Maybe Jackson Browne can write a song...
Or Springsteen(the loser)..where’s the outrage over this religious intolerance? The poor woman would be stoned in Iran and the poor guy will probably be flogged to death
Yes, where are the human rights protestors? Why isn’t Jimmy Carter protesting against sharia and the other muslim intolerances toward modern culture? Could it be that Jimbo is a coward and a hypocrite when it comes to actual human rights abuses?
Gee I would Have been beheaded for the things I did in a car when I was younger... Oh the good ole days! Ahhhh!
I agree. I have one word for them - immigrate. No guarantee those after an ‘honor killing’ won’t follow, but...

Complain to the school , explaining that you want your niece to be educated , NOT indoctrinated . They can’t touch you for it .
I understand the people born into islam. But why would anyone actually convert from another religion? That simply boggles my mind.
