Petition to ban Oktoberfest in Malaysia

Petition to ban Oktoberfest in Malaysia
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-fro...e-29520917

Quote:Some Muslim groups in Malaysia are trying to get the country's Oktoberfest banned on the grounds that it's offensive to the community, it appears.

An MP is heading a campaign to get the federal and state governments to halt the annual beer festival, which he describes as part of a culture of "evil and sin", Malaysia's Daily Express newspaper reports. While not denying the right of non-Muslims to consume alcohol, Nasrudin Hassan of the Pan-Islamic Party says that it "should be done privately and neither promoted nor feted any further in this way". In a Facebook post, he compared the event to "mass-promoted adultery". However, Nasrudin's PAS colleague Khalid Samad said the festival had every right to take place, as long as it was targeted at non-Muslims.

I say, if they do, good! More beer for the rest of us!

In Malaysia, if at all, it's niqabs, not burqas. A headscarf is only mandatory inside mosques. It is even forbidden for government officials to wear niqabs.

Yes, nothing says beer, chicken dancing and pork sausage like Kuala Lumpur.

And busty serving wenches. Lots and lots of them.
