American Couple Has Close Encounter with Shari'a in Malaysia ( Religion of Peace )

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,”

That map looks to accurate. If you zoom in you'll find one incident near Phuket in the Andaman Sea.
That's the only incident in Thai waters.
There were none on the Gulf of Thailand side in Thai waters.

If you got scared in Rochester, Minnesota you are an idiot. Or are you just smarting off? Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean anyone is out to get you. Take your meds.

If this was intended to be some sort of joke or comment that a few muslims live in Rochester, I didn't get it.

Rochester is heavily Lutheran with a scattering of baptists if that is scary to you. oooooo.

Well, aren't you a pleasant little person.

If you are speaking as a resident of the town, you alone are enough of a reason not to go.

Your posts, thubb, are quite interesting. However, your complaints about improper English are weakened by your refusal to use capital letters.

And what these folks got in Malaysia is precisely what the Dhimmicrats want to have inflicted on America...all in the name of political correctness and cultural sensitivity.

re: What is this guy THINKING?)))

People with itchy feet often don't do much thinking. They become addled with the new, the exotic, the dirt-cheap maids and yardmen. I'm not much of a traveller myself.

I know of people who have moved briefly to the Carribean, only to return pewling and whining about the crime or the crude medical care or the maid who stole jewelry. D'uh. The chance to be a rich man in a poor country--the boasting like they're Cousteau or Earhardt just for buying a ticket and paying rent--tiresome.

Naivete often comes hand-in-hand with willful ignorance--like the people who won't acknowledge the danger of Islam because they happen to know a nice Muslim. They just make me tired.

You've got me curious. I was at the Mayo 10 years ago this month. The doctors did decompressive eye surgery on me, changed my life more than anyone can imagine.

I saw a few of mideast origin, but nothing to cause me the slightest unease.

What do you mean?

Yeah, it's strict Shari's for the powerless.

But rich Arab men? That's different.

They leave the 4th wife slot empty -- marry at midnight -- divorce at 6 the next morning.

And within the twisted, biased, sexists morality of Islam, it's A-OK. Is that charming or what?

I spent two weeks at the Mayo in July. They are amazing.

However, we stayed downtown, and there were more ME people there than Americans. We were at a long term hotel, and apparently a lot of Middle East people live there on a permanent basis.

Full burkas for the women, men with the turbans, robes, with rugs, praying facing East, the whole Muslim package.

Of course, I am American, and was wearing summer clothes. Oh, man, if looks could kill. Leering men, contemptuous women, Arabic spoken everywhere. I felt like a foreigner in my own country.

And this was right as the Israeli/Hezbollah war was breaking out. I was VERY uncomfortable.
