PETALING JAYA: A women’s rights group has questioned the apparent double standard in cases of religious insults, particularly the lack of action against a preacher who disparaged the faith of non-Muslims.
Sisters in Islam (SiS) questioned the use of the Attorney-General’s discretion to declare “no further action” in the case.
The group pointed to the double standard in a woman being hauled to court for allegedly insulting Islam, while a Muslim preacher had no action taken against him for disparaging the faith of non-Muslims.
The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) had said it decided not to charge Syakir Nasoha on the ground that the video about him was taken out of context and did not touch on religious sensitivity in the country.
