Yesterday had read this link about a Malaysian wingnut.... (Obviously, wingnuts are in all countries ... )
A Malaysian opposition Islamist lawmaker drew heavy criticism from his own party and government lawmakers Friday after he called divorced women prostitutes and lustful. Abdul Fatah Harun, a Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party member, said most divorced women were not 'sad and quiet' like widows, but were 'easily spotted'' at parties displaying 'gatal' behavior (Malay-language word meaning 'lewd' or 'lustful' and is usually used in a derogatory manner), his party's newspaper quoted him as telling parliament on Wednesday. He also said most divorced women were prostitutes.
Today, I ran into this odd story also from Malaysia. Now this is someone they'd deem a "Gatal" and some may not argue against it .. ;) Uggh..see the picture in the link!! I am all for freedom to love and marry anyone you please but they sure do make an odd couple..
