Hudud in M’sia? Look at my country now, warns Afghan refugee

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Salim (not his real name) fled Kabul to Malaysia after Taliban-linked criminals threatened his family’s life and safety.

But now, he warns Malaysia not to adopt ideologies similar to those held by the Afghan militant group, which just took over the country after the United States’ abrupt exit following 20 years of war.

When told about the existence of a Malaysian-based Islamic political party that has pushed for the implementation of a strict hudud code of law, Salim advised the country to look no further than Afghanistan.

“I’m a refugee who loves Malaysia and has a deep connection with the country ever since my son was born here. I urge Malaysians to learn from the Afghan experience. Whatever happened there can happen anywhere.

“If there are those here that support similar ideologies with the Taliban, it is possible that Malaysia may face the same fate as Afghanistan,” Salim told The Vibes.
