		<description>Wearing of tudung is not uniformly enforced. So many are not wearing. Btw there is compulsion for muslims to remain  in islam so as long as you live. No choice whether right or wrong, no freedom of religion/choice for muslims. You can forget about getting out this trap. One way ticket to heaven or hell?</description>

		<description>Morning to everyone...

Why we make fuss about this issue? Why we travel not less than 100km/hr on the road? Why we wear clothes accordingly to an attended function? Come on laaa guys. Because we respect the rules. Why not wear slippers only, go to the office with slippers, driving big cars with slippers. If you don&#039;t like the rule just left laaa IIUM. Tak pandai nak respect ka? If someone makes a mock how my university works his rule, I really want to punch you at your face. Stupid old people. I eat rice like you guys but use you brain accordinglaaaa.</description>

		<description>Dear All,

Look at PAS in Kelantan, do they force non-Muslim women to wear tudungs? Only Muslim women are requested to do so.
Islam didn&#039;t force non-Muslim to follow the rules. 
Do the state government demolish the Buddha&#039;s Watt? If I&#039;m not mistaken, one of them is the biggest in the world. 
Pure Islamic teachings respect other&#039;s religion. 
Open your eyes, make a right choice then!</description>

		<description>lakshy said:

HeyyyyÃ¢â‚¬Â¦Actually the holy book does not ask them to wear tudungs!

*******************************************

You&#039;re wrong. It does, for all faithful Muslimas.

al-Quran 33:59

O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 

Malay Translation:

Wahai Nabi, suruhlah isteri-isterimu dan anak-anak perempuanmu serta perempuan-perempuan yang beriman, supaya melabuhkan pakaiannya bagi menutup seluruh tubuhnya (semasa mereka keluar); cara yang demikian lebih sesuai untuk mereka dikenal (sebagai perempuan yang baik-baik) maka dengan itu mereka tidak diganggu dan (ingatlah) Allah adalah Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani.</description>

		<description>What has become of this country now? Academia in the Public Universities funded by taxers are engrossed and obsessed with wearing certain dress code rather than on education excellence per se?

Who paid the most taxes in the country? Refer to what Dr Mahathir had said earlier. 

No wonder they are at the bottom of rating ladder.</description>

		<description>This is clearly a microcosm of what is likely to happen 20 years from now, when the Muslim population reaches 80 pct of the population.  At that time, all facets of life will have to observe their Islamic practices.  What they say goes.  What is there to argue at that point of time ?

In any case, in 20 years&#039; time, the country will be so poor because what is available to steal would have been stolen, so the only thing left for these thieves would be to perpetuate the Islamic angle.  Go to Kelantan.  Look around you.  That will be what Bolehland will be like 20 years from now.</description>

		<description>oedipus.

for your information. the tudung,songkok, sarong, baju melayu are all malay culture with a mix of indian and arabs.

for your information too, many of the malay so called cultures are in conflict in the teaching of Islam.

we are taught to respect others ,as others respect us.

but it is also in the Holy Koran,that there among the muslim are:-
pagi muslim, malam kafir.

so it already noted that not all muslims are true practising muslims.

i wish to reiterate that what is WAJIB IN ISLAM has nothing to do with this issue. the political concoction into religion is the root cause of this matter. 

i apologise to those who are offended. but Islam never taught us to impose on others.

not all muslims are malays for your kind information.

even if i cover myself from head to toe but with a heart of a devil, it makes no difference.

to simplify it. the government build hugh mosque for the sake of Islam. but it is not size of the mosque, but the conregation of the faithfuls.

thank you.</description>

		<description>We should blame the greatest culprit who has started the process of Melaynisation and islamaisation so extensively and pervasively since 1980&#039;s.We should adhere to multiracial.multicultural and multireligious Malaysia with Islam as the official religion.Go to hell all the racial and religious fanatics.</description>

		<description>Well to be fair, can M&#039;sia have an International Chinese University where pork is served in the canteen? If you don&#039;t want to eat it, you don&#039;t have to buy. But can we do that?

Coming back to IIUM, to say that the tudung is part of the uniform is unfair. The tudung is traditionally associated with one race and religion only. True, it doesn&#039;t mean tudung=Islam=Malay but the fact is it is always perceived to be so. It is the right of any person to dress according to their faith and beliefs but they should not impose it on others.

Just an observation without prejudice. Notice that the national parades in 1960s, 1970s, the ladies ( policewomen, nurses etc etc ) are parading without tudungs but in the 1990s and 2000s, all have tudungs as part of their uniform. I wonder why the paradigm shift?</description>

		<description>Muslims will never respect other people&#039;s rights. Don&#039;t hope for that.
They are &#039;katak di bawah tempurung&#039;.
Just let them rot away under the &#039;tempurung&#039;, just boycot the convocation and move on with other more important things, like getting a job.</description>

		<description>The present situation is solely attributed to the previous PM&#039;s Islamicmisation of government administration and declared the country an Islamic state......for his narrow, short sighted and personal political survival and agenda.

An official religion of the country is exploited by religious extremists and fundamentalists and grossly blown out of proportion!</description>

		<description>Religious extremists and fundamentalists do not care about economic and money.

Their ultimate objective is a full Islamic state with Islamic laws to totally control the people........money and other issues are secondary.

It&#039;s all about attaining absolute power using religion.</description>

		<description>Sickening!!! That is all I have to say!!! God can only help us!!!!
I simply do not understand that they still could not grasp the advice given by HRHs Sultan of Selangor and Raja Nazrin. Do not worsen the brain drain here. Enough is enough!
In order to progress we need the best brains here. With this type of attitude, more brains will leave for other countries.
I , for one would want to do so if I am young enough.
Really it saddens me each time I hear my friends and children are leaving our country. How can be blame them for doing so?</description>

		<description>Universities all over the world for hundred of years or more have made the mortar board and the gown as the standard outfit for their graduates&#039; attire during convocations.So why change it?Or is it because the IIU wanted to show that it is very special,very holy and saintly.One of you said by covering the head with a scarf can deter sinful looks from the men.I think the person who made such a remark is naive and hypocritical.Moreover he has insulted all the male participants of university convocations the world over.</description>

		<description>This issue in a nutshell is what is wrong with the state of Malaysia nowadays.

Instead of focusing all the energy, time and money on substance, on how to improve the standard of our universities, we are wasting it on some piece of clothing.

While all these are going on, the rest of the world is moving forward.

These Islamic fanatics have gotten their priorities all messed up and is it any wonder that non-muslims are going to have a prejudiced view of their religion. Having a fanatic causing havoc in the USA is bad enough for their image. Do they really think that they will actually &#039;win&#039; even if everyone follows their dress code ruling?

Out of curiosity, i just would like to know:-

By abiding to their dress codes, are they getting any closer to God? 

By abiding to their dress code, are any intended rape of their own daughters and/or step-daughters going to be stop?

By abiding to their dress code, are any intended corruption going to cease?

These people make me sick and this country is going to get more sick before she &#039;die&#039;.</description>

Having a fanatic causing havoc in the USA is bad enough for their image. Do they really think that they will actually &#8216;win&#8217; even if everyone follows their dress code ruling?</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, i just would like to know:-</p>
<p>By abiding to their dress codes, are they getting any closer to God? </p>
<p>By abiding to their dress code, are any intended rape of their own daughters and/or step-daughters going to be stop?</p>
<p>By abiding to their dress code, are any intended corruption going to cease?</p>
<p>These people make me sick and this country is going to get more sick before she &#8216;die&#8217;.</p>

		<description>In a recent public event attended by the PM and his wife, they were walking &#039;holding hands&#039; and this was broadcast over prime time news.  Thats when I saw it, and wondered, when do you see people in public position walking holding hands with their spouses for official functions?

And this is from a leader of an &quot;islamic nation&quot; or one seen as one according to TDM.    Tell me, shouldn&#039;t the leader set an example for his nation?  What is the message  being given here?

And whats the message that IIUM wants to give?</description>

		<description>In the 60&#039;s and 70&#039;s (sorry lah thats as far back as I can remember) not many people wore tudungs.  And many malays women wore short (mini?) skirts.  I wonder does that make them less religious?  Where have all these dearly departed souls gone to one wonders?

And in those days too, schools did not start at 2:30pm on Fridays!  What is all of this lah?  Since when did we have schools starting at 2:30pm on Friday?  Whats happening to my country?</description>

		<description>So using the tudungs is not a question of being Islamic.  It may have more to being identified with being arabic.</description>
