THE TELEGRAPH: Malaysian women have been banned from "tom-boyism" and lesbian sexual relations in a fatwa from one of the country's top religious authorities.
According to the chairman of the National Fatwa Council, Abdul Shukor Husin, many young women admire the was [sic] men dress and behave, which is a denial of their femininity and a violation of human nature.
"It is unacceptable to see women who love the male lifestyle including dressing in the clothes men wear," he complained, adding, "(Masculine behaviour) becomes clearer when they start to have sex with someone of the same gender, that is woman and woman."
"In view of this," Dr Abdul explained, "the National Fatwa Council which met today have decided and taken the stand that such acts are forbidden and banned."
Male homosexuality - specifically sodomy - is illegal in Malaysia and punishable with up to twenty years in jail. Accusations of sodomy have twice been levelled against the opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim in what he says are politically motivated attempts to destroy him. >>> By Thomas Bell, South East Asia Correspondent | October 24, 2008

Why is it that our Western Liberal friends do not see that this is what is coming down the pike if we appease Islam here?
I have no idea, Pastorius. I have been asking myself the same question for a very long time. But I come up with no answers.
Where have all the feminists gone now when we need them most? The Germaine Greers of this world. She's a wrinkly now, I know; but someone must have accepted her mantle. But where is she?/Where are they? Come out of the woodwork, for God's sake. The world's in trouble!
Don´t forget there are many women on counter-jihad-blogs.
There may be many women on counter-Jihad blogs, but there are scant few feminists willing to make the statement in public.
Islam is destructive of women's rights.
When is the last time you heard a feminist say such a thing on TV or in a magazine?
I guess the women on counter-Jihad blogs are mostly conservatives and that is sad. I say that because I am not a traditional conservative myself, and I don't feel happy that my friends are not with me.
I think the feminists are afraid of Islam in a way they were never afraid of Christianity. They are also afraid of sounding racist and illiberal. They are afraid of being tarred with the brush of the right.

Yes, there are. But as Pastorius has asked: "When is the last time you heard a feminist say such a thing on TV or in a magazine?"
We used to get many, many women spouting off at the height of the feminist movement.
I fear that they fought in vain for their rights, however, since Islam is growing apace, and when it is strong enough, women will be pushed back into the home - in purdah.
God only knows, Sapna! Crazy, isn't it?
