Malaysia ban girls from being too 'boyish' and doing yoga

[Ender]

AniThyng is a malaysian, you can always ask him about that. By the way, I thought yoga has some sort of religious background in Hinduism?

AFAIK it's where you go to mingle with very bendy women.

Sorry, been playing RA3..

The Friendly Guy:

You're right, I'm making a very poor arguement, I apologize.

Zuul:
I have to agree that is very likely.

On the Yoga thing - that one is actually not related to the boyish behavior issue, it just so happens the Fatwa council has been suddenly more active of late - the Yoga one is because Yoga is associated with Hinduism, so in these times, religionists try thier utmost to, you know. Stir up religious issues so as to be seen as defending the faith and all that.

Bear in mind that I am not muslim, so these stupid laws don't affect me, and for the people that it does affect, i.e. muslims, they have to take the ball on defying the religious authority, and some has, and rest assured there are many who see the yoga ban as being absurd.

For my part I voted to put the secular Democratic Action Party and People's Justice Party (it's also got a strong muslim base it must pander too, but since it has sizable non-muslim membership it has to moderate its stance.) into parliarment and the State Assemblies, we shall see where that leads us.
