Quoting Waseem Siddiqi regarding Trip Report - Singapore / Malaysia in a message dated Tue, 07 Sep 2004 15:35:57 -0700:

You are right about KL Tower - certainly better views from there and you
can take your time looking.


Would you know if the KL tower is used as an actual minaret? I actually heard a
recorded muezzin's "call to prayer" at about 1pm on the Wed. I was there, but I
couldn't tell from where it was coming. It could have been the KL tower for all I know.

Why the f*** do you hang out at travel newsgroups when you don't travel?

You are a sick little bitter old man, Gregory. Admit it.

I think these women choose freely to dress like that - nobody is
forcing
them.


Nonsense. They are forced by their families and husbands and societal
laws
to dress like that. If they don't they'll be shunned - or *worse*,

e.g.
stonings and even death.

Can you name the last time a Malaysian was stoned? You're a
bull****ter, which is worse than an ignoramus.


Hey you replied ;-p


You're hopeless, eh?



Not at all. I am full of hope that you will finally come 'round to my way
of reasoning concerning certain subjects.

I lived for 2 years in a Malay village. My neighbors and classmates
loved me, and I loved them. I will never, ever loathe all Muslims, and
I will never consider boycotting Malaysia.

If my experience last summer is anything to judge by, Jewish tourists

because they wouldn't be Orthodox Jews wearing kipot. Plenty of halal
but no certified kosher food is to be found in Malaysia.


I was googling to refresh my memory on the little packaging symbols
(circle-U, circle-K, etc.) that indicate kosher certification, with the
intent of checking some of the food in my kitchen (all purchased at
Malaysian supermarkets, though I'm aware you're probably talking about
restaurant food). Much of the stuff imported from the USA (Post Banana Nut
Crunch, etc.) is marked, but none of the Australian and European stuff -
whether that's because they use different (or no) markings, or because it's
all packaged for export to Asia and the middle east, I don't know.

But anyway, in the first page of google results, I came across this page on
the "White Nationalist Community" forum:

http://www.stormfront.org/archive/t-126394Avoiding_Kosher_Food!.html

which led me to chuckle as I imagined a pack of moron neo-nazis starving
themselves because they're so fixated on avoiding eating anything that might
be acceptable to religious Jews. It's like something from a Monty Python
sketch. What a weird world this is.

Despite the nice facade you saw the fact that it is a mainly Islamic

Excellent - women are well integrated in society and most of them have a
job.


As long as the rule of Shariah is followed women will *always* be second -
class citizens.


Well, then you should have no beef with Malaysia. Despite the efforts (on a
state level) of some in the more conservative northeastern states - who by
the way did quite poorly in the last election - sharia is not the law of the
land here. I can drink all the alcohol and eat all the pork I want, collect
interest on loans, go bowling during prayer time, and when I get busted for
using my turn signal or failing to litter, I will go before a secular judge.

I'm afraid you really don't know what you're talking about with respect to
Malaysia.

P.S. Some guy with a malfunctioning gaydar unit was trying really hard to
pick me up in a Kuala Lumpur supermarket the other day. I don't think I'm
worth time in prison, so clearly the fear factor isn't too high.

Isn't it nice to live in a place such as the BRD that has strong

protections
for human rights and a strong rule of secular law?

Unless they are Israeli citizens. At least a couple of years ago Israeli
citizens (not only Jewish) were not allowed to enter Malaysia.
