Religion is more than rituals

ISLAM is again at the forefront of public scrutiny as a result of several issues, including the caning of two women accused of lesbianism, incarceration and caning of a prostitute, and child marriages in Kelantan and Terengganu.

And last year, the so-called Islamic political party, PAS, introduced a Private Member’s Bill (RUU 355) to increase punishment for syariah related offences.
