No, this story isn’t coming out of the United States (yet), but even out of Malaysia, it should give us all pause to stop and think once again about what the near future holds for Europe:
PENANG: A Muslim convert who wants to renounce Islam after her Iranian husband left her will be referred to the State Islamic Religious Affairs Department for counselling.
Syariah High Court judge Othman Ibrahim instructed Siti Fatimah Tan Abdullah, 38, to undergo counselling at the Department’s Unit Ukhwah (a unit on brotherhood and sisterhood in Islam) before the court decides on her application.
Syariah is simply another spelling variation of Sharia.
He said the court would therefore postpone the decision to Dec 3 pending the report from the unit.
Othman also instructed the court registrar to write to the unit to assist Siti Fatimah in religious matters.
When approached after the postponement, Siti Fatimah said she did not understand the court’s instruction and would seek clarification from her counsel Ahmad Jailani Abdul Ghani.
A Chinese by birth, Siti Fatimah, who is from Nibong Tebal, filed the application in May last year.
In her affidavit to renounce the religion, Siti Fatimah, whose Chinese name is Tan Ean Huang, said she converted to Islam in July 1998 but never practised any of the Islamic teachings.
She claimed that she had converted for the sake of marrying an Iranian named Ferdoun Ashanian in 1999, but he left her a few months later.
She has no knowledge of his current whereabouts.
Siti Fatimah said she wants the Penang Islamic Religious Council to declare that she is no longer a Muslim under Section 61 (3) of the Penang Islamic Administration Enactment. She also wants the court to change the religious status on her identity card from Muslim to Buddhist.
Now, if anyone still wants to doubt that Islam is a political ideology and not just a cult, I suppose you could always travel to Malaysia or Iran and marry one of the locals to test your theory. Good luck in court (and counseling).

Actually, Foehammer, it was a local Chinese who converted to marry an Iranian Muslim, and got trapped once the marriage ended. If anybody were to go there to marry one of the locals, they could at least return to their home countries and convert back. But no such luck for any hapless locals who happens to make that mistake.
As the Eagles once put it
It was a Chinese “by birth” in Malaysia. I actually do read the articles before I post them. I mentioned Iran at the end for two reasons: 1) the husband that ran off was an Iranian and 2) Iran has similar Sharia courts to Malaysia.
My other point was simply to make a point. I know that nobody that comes here to stand up for the Islamists will ever actually have the courage to go to a Muslim nation and convert. Although, if I could get more of them to do so, I sure as hell wouldn’t want the Malaysians or Iranians to let them come back!
Anyone who converts TO Islam is the one who needs counselling.
Or electroshock therapy.
If Islam is such a great and peaceful religion, why does it force people to remain Muslim, under threat of counseling - or death?

Islam is like a roach motel: once you check in, you don’t check out. BTW, given that Muslim marriage allows polygamy, no Muslim marriage should be considered valid under US law, regardless of where the ceremony took place.
