Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Who are
Islamic 'morality police'?
How conservative
or restrictive a state could be? It seems Sharia, Islamic religious law, is strictly
enforced to practice in some Muslim-majority countries such as Iran, Saudi
Arabia and Malaysia by deploying dedicated task force to police public places. Those
rules include public socializing between unmarried men and women, wearing
headscarf too far back on the head or exposing any other part of the body but
eyes.
As more
non-Islamic cultures and life-styles become popular around the world, religious
conservatism seems to hardens its position. Such moves are also seen in Hindu
society like India.
But is
policing religious order and obedience mandatory to observe a religion?
Enjoy reading and
thinking what matters more in day-to-day life in modern world.
