I was already laughing when i read that when the National Fatwa Council came about with their ban on tomboys. It has been deemed unacceptable for girls to dress up as boys and that it encourages lesbianism. Then came this killer report that the council will be issuing a ruling soon relating to yoga exercise, which is deemed to be deviationist in nature for the Muslims.
UKM lecturer Prof Zakaria Stapa advised Muslims who have taken up yoga - a widely popular exercise which has its roots to India and Hinduism - to stop practising it for fear that it could deviate them from their belief.
"Yoga originated from the Hindu community and it combines spiritual as well as their religious aspects. They believe it brings them closer to their god," he was reported as saying in Berita Harian today.
So i guess now the religious departments will list gyms and ladies spas in their list of places of ill repute to raid. Right up there with the whore houses, bars, niteclubs and karaoke joints. Why the double standards, if thats the case muslims can't work in banks cause it charges interest, Malaysia Airlines should stop serving alcahol on its flights(no more champangne for its chairman) cause the majority of its attendants are muslims and not forgetting the thousands of muslims in the food and beverage industry!!
Its fucking moronic, embarassing and lame to read the reasons given by the council.
