M'sia group wins right to keep Islam in its name

PDF Print E-mail


KUALA LUMPUR - A PROMINENT Malaysian women's group won the right to keep the word 'Islam' in its name on Friday after a court ruled against religious activists critical of the group's opinions on women's rights.

The High Court struck out an application by the Malaysian Assembly of Muslim Youths, which demanded that Sisters in Islam change its name because it was allegedly misleading people to believe that the group speaks for all Muslims, said Ratna Osman, program manager of the women's group.

The court sided with Sisters in Islam's argument that the activists had no legal standing to challenge the name.

Sisters in Islam, one of this Muslim-majority country's most well-known nongovernment groups, has often upset conservative Muslims by questioning the enforcement of Malaysian Islamic Shariah laws, including those that allow the caning of women for offenses such as consuming alcohol.

Many Muslim groups say Sisters in Islam misinterprets religious principles, highlighting a divide between Muslims who demand strict enforcement of Islamic morality laws and others who worry about religious intolerance.

The High Court's decision on Friday was 'a positive step toward ensuring that freedom of expression as guaranteed under the federal Constitution is upheld,' Ratna of Sisters in Islam said in a statement. -- AP
