Islam in Malaysia > Gay, drug party gets 51 men arrested in Kuala Lumpur

 

Malaysia: 51 men arrested for ‘gay party’

A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)

And so if these men aren’t executed, they will have gotten off lightly. Malaysia, after all, does have a reputation for being “moderate.”

There are many Christians and others in the West who disapprove of homosexual activity and regard it as immoral. They do not, however, generally call for imprisonment or execution of the offenders. Those punishments are part of Sharia’s reign of terror: virtue is brought about by making everyone too frightened not to be virtuous.

Malaysian police arrest 51 men, seize drugs in raids linked to ‘gay party'

Reuters, May 26, 2026:

Malaysian authorities detained 51 men in a series of raids on Sunday in connection with what police described as a drug-fueled “gay party” held at a Kuala Lumpur hotel.

Homosexuality is criminalized in Muslim-majority Malaysia, which operates a dual-track legal system with Islamic laws for Muslims running alongside civil laws. Sodomy is a crime, while sharia laws are also in place that ban same-sex acts and cross-dressing.

Police arrested the men – aged between 21 and 52, and including 28 foreigners – in four separate raids, narcotics investigations department director Hussein Omar Khan said in a statement late Monday.

Authorities also seized about 103,070 ringgit ($26,021) worth of illicit drugs, including MDMA, ecstasy pills and powder, and ketamine, he said.

“This group was found to be using rooms in upscale hotels for entertainment, drug abuse, and is believed to be involved in immoral activities,” he said, adding that the case was being investigated under the Dangerous Drugs Act….

Powerful movement of the Spirit as Florida church baptizes 2552 people in one day

 

Florida Church Baptizes Over 2,500 People

The Church of Eleven22 witnessed an extraordinary outpouring of faith with over 2,500 individuals baptized in a single weekend, underscoring a powerful spiritual movement.

Florida-based church The Church of Eleven22 recently had over 2,500 people baptized last weekend, adding to the large number of baptisms the church has had in recent years.

“Still not over yesterday!” the church, located in Jacksonville, stated on Facebook.

“2,552 times we heard someone renounce the sins of their past, pledge allegiance to Christ, and proclaim out loud for the whole world to hear that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior! There is truly nothing better than that!”

As CBN News previously reported, nearly 2,000 were baptized at the church's Beach Baptism last year, while over 1,600 were baptized in 2024.

"The church is alive and well, the Spirit of God is on the move, and the gospel of Jesus Christ is still changing lives today,” Pastor Joby Martin said.

In a separate social media post, the church stressed the importance that baptism has for those who profess faith in Jesus Christ.

“One by one, people walked into the water declaring that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior - that the old is gone and new life has come! Because baptism isn't what saves us, it's the outward sign of an inward spiritual reality. A symbol that we've been united with Jesus in His death and raised to walk in new life," the church stated.

One significant moment that took place during last weekend’s baptism was when one of the shuttle bus drivers got baptized and was the very last one.

“Only God could write a story like that," the church said.

As reported by CBN News, The Church of Eleven22 saw more than 14,000 churchgoers, family members, and supporters in attendance at Hanna Park last weekend to support and rejoice for those making a public confession of their faith in the Lord.

John Cleese > Why ‘non-radical’ Muslims are not speaking out against ‘radical Islam’

 

John Cleese asks why ‘non-radical’ Muslims are not speaking out against ‘radical Islam’

May 25, 2026 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer67 Comments

The answer that no one wants to face is that what is generally understood as “radical Islam” is taught in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and “non-radical” Muslims know this, and so they also know that if they speak out against it they could be accused of heresy or apostasy. Rather than have to live their lives looking over their shoulders in fear of their “radical” brethren, they keep silent. Then there are the outright deceivers, who teach that Islam properly understood is peaceful. They know better, but are trying to foster complacency among non-Muslims. A complacent infidel is one who does not fight back.

There was one, once. His name is Maajid Nawaz. He had a radio talk show in England when he spoke out about radical Islam. He is now living in Italy and posting on Substack and X. I don't know yet if he is still complaining about Islamic madness or not.

Also, (according to Grok):

Prominent Individual Reformers and CriticsThese figures often face significant personal risks, including death threats, fatwas against them, or exile, for challenging Islamist ideology:

• Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Somali-born activist, author of Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now. She critiques aspects of Islamic doctrine linked to violence, advocates for reform (including women's rights and secularism), and has lived under constant threat after collaborating on a film critical of Islam.
• Maajid Nawaz: Former Islamist with Hizb ut-Tahrir who was imprisoned in Egypt. He co-founded the Quilliam Foundation (a counter-extremism think tank), rejects political Islam (Islamism), and promotes a liberal, tolerant interpretation of Islam through ijtihad (independent reasoning). Co-author of Islam and the Future of Tolerance with Sam Harris.
• Irshad Manji: Canadian-Ugandan author and activist who calls for a "Muslim Reformation," emphasizing ijtihad, human rights, and reform on issues like LGBTQ rights and gender equality within an Islamic framework.
• Zuhdi Jasser: American physician and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy. He advocates separating mosque and state, opposes Sharia in governance, and criticizes Islamist groups.
• Others include Tawfik Hamid (former Islamist), Asra Nomani (journalist and women's rights advocate), and reformers in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere who critique Wahhabism/Salafism.
• And let us not forget Salman Rushdie and the fatwa he has lived under for several decades.

These voices exist and have done so for decades, often at great personal cost. Supporting genuine reformers while distinguishing them from apologists is key to countering radicalism effectively. For deeper dives, resources like Charles Kurzman's compilation of Islamic statements against terrorism or books by the reformers above provide extensive documentation.
