Yeah, cause you don't want 12 year old Muslim girls to be able to kick a grown Clerics Ass in a fight.

Am I the only one in the world who thinks Idiots who subscribe to Ideology by Islamic Nutjobs have run its course, and maybe it is high time someone gives these clerics a good head slap?

Islamic clerics to ban tomboys

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Malaysia's main body of Islamic clerics has issued an edict banning tomboys in the Muslim-majority country, ruling that girls who act like boys violate the tenets of Islam, an official said Friday.

The National Fatwa Council forbade the practice of girls behaving or dressing like boys during a meeting Thursday in northern Malaysia, said Harussani Idris Zakaria, the mufti of northern Perak state, who attended the gathering.

Harussani said an increasing number of Malaysian girls behave like tomboys, and that some of them engage in homosexuality.

Thanks Campanaro and Francis for your comments, I would have liked to commented earlier, but both my computers could not access Now Public for some reason.

For someone who's born and bred in Malaysia, declaring fatwas is really what we do for fun. Taken with some good old spicy fried chickens and hot tea..the enforcement part of this is absolutely rubbish. but its cracks us up when it does come up once in a while in the news...
