Mixing sex with religion, Malaysian-style

your say 'Eskay, can we also demand that you also sumpah that you did not have fun with prostitutes and other women other than your wife.'

Eskay to take oath in Sentul mosque tomorrow

Fairnessforall: This is another big joke of the century. These clowns do not fear God so why would they fear taking an oath in the mosque?

After all, all their adult life they have spent insulting Islam by doing all the despicable things that they have been and are still doing. So I don't think anyone really gives a damn that just because you take an oath at the mosque, it means you are telling the truth.

Najib Razak did the same for the Altantuya Shaariibuu case but we know that he was somehow involved as he was the only person high enough who can make immigration records disappear. Talking an oath in the mosque does not make you innocent.

Justiceee: I think that the religious leaders should make a decree to stop people from using the holy places of worship to make an oath for something like this. This is politicising places of worship.

Friday Star: Eskay, what can the ulama do and what more can your swearing in the mosque prove? You claim that you're not religious then why bring religion into this.

What happened to your gang? Why is it only you are going to the mosque to swear? How to trust you? Jangan tipu lagi , okay. Enough is enough.

Quigonbond: Anwar Ibrahim should sue Shazryl Eskay Abdullah for defamation. It's a joke to swear on the Quran. What can Eskay swear - that he was the one filming Anwar doing it? There's no need for Anwar to swear on the Quran, especially if he is innocent.

How would Eskay know he'll be charged next week if he hasn't been extended due courtesy by the police? The police, by the way, took his DNA for no apparent reason, and played politics on wanting to expose the actor, also for no logical reason, since being an actor per se is not a crime.

Conclusion - this episode smells like a big farce.

Abil: Eskay, you should only swear that you are not a sinner. You should not accuse another person for being a sinner since this swearing is between you and God. So don't make a mockery of the swearing - pointing fault at others is tantamount to ‘swearing' and this is a sin in the first place.

Bluemountains: In the eyes of the public, Altantuya's murder is still not solved despite someone having taken an oath.

Josephine: Amazing, so taking an oath is the vogue way to settle a legal issue? If this is an acceptable way, I think Malaysia can immediately slash the number of civil servants, close down the courts and the police stations.

But we need to build more mosques and train more imams. Since the savings far outweigh the extra costs, can we have our petrol subsidies back?

Anonymous_3f1f: Eskay, can we also demand that you also sumpah that you did not have fun with prostitutes and other women other than your wife. Please also request your other cohorts to do the same as you.

M'sia1st: Yes, agreed. Making sumpah laknat does not at all make you innocent. These people swear everyday, it's their food. All prominent ulama already advised Anwar not to swear, as that is not the right Islamic way, especially when facing with these corrupt filthy sinners.

Don't be trapped into their game. Let them do it. Let them face the wrath of God themselves. Focus on the struggle and fight against injustices and corruption. Datuk Ts are here to divert our attention. Don't be dragged into their game.

Minahkerang: Eskay, don't forget to bring along four witnesses. By the way, please remind Rahim Thamby Chik to take an oath ( sumpah laknat ) that he was not the person who was involved with an underaged girl many years ago.

Dood: I thought the Datuk T earlier denied being arrested over this issue. Now Eskay admits to it. Is this the kind of person you would believe? I wonder if Eskay will be planning a trip to Mecca soon after making this "oath".

Black Mamba: PM Najib Razak came off clean swearing on the Quran he never met Altantuya Shaariibuu in his whole life. Datuk T is swearing on behalf of Rahim Thamby Chik. I didn't know one can swear on behalf of another who fears to face the wrath of God himself.

From now on any criminals who dare swear on the Quran can go scot-free. Who needs the criminal courts and judges?

Anonymous _dhf3b: Black Mamba, at least Najib dared to swear an oath, and as for Eskay, he was part of the trio, and if he does it, it means the rest need not.

As for criminals, let me say this, don't worry about them, they do not have to swear. Just go to the prison, open the doors and say, "Those innocent please walk out". The prison will be empty soon enough.

Sulaiman Abdullah2: Asked why Rahim and Shuib Lazim would not be taking the oath as well, Rahim replied: "(Eskay) is doing it on our behalf." These guys are destroying the sanctity of the mosques - what are the sultans and imams doing?

Cannon: The trio screens pornography to the public and, with the approval of PM Najib's government, purvey filth and 'fitnah' in our national dailies and broadcast it on prime-time TV into our homes, subjecting our children to smut. Now they want to bring their pollution into the mosque.

Public morals as well as the sanctity of Islam are under frontal assault by godlessness on all sides. Why are the Islamic religious authorities not voicing out against this outrage? The gutter politics of Umno is affecting Malaysians of all communities. Even the Perak mufti, the zealous guardian of Muslim morals, is strangely silent.

Changeagent: Hazrat Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says, "One who swears falsely by Allah for a lie has disbelieved, and one who swears by Allah for truth has sinned, because Allah says, "Do not use Allah for (taking of) your oaths" (Furu al-Ka-fi).

Not that this will mean anything to Eskay and the Datuk T gang because they are clearly not religious people.

Wayan: They have no qualms about mixing religion and their personal politics. No religion should be allowed to suffer this kind of disservice.
