The forces of radical Islam are getting very bold in Malaysia; an American couple was subjected to a humiliating, terrifying 2 am khalwat inspection by “religious enforcement officers:”
Retired American policeman Randal Barnhart, who was subjected to a 2am raid by religious enforcement officers, is reconsidering his plan to make Malaysia his second home.
“After that unpleasant episode two weeks ago, I do not feel like making Malaysia my second home. It is a pity because both my wife and I really love Langkawi,” he said.
On Oct 12, Barnhart, 62, and his wife Carole, 61, were in their rented condominium in Kuah when enforcement officers continuously knocked on their door at 2am, accusing them of committing khalwat (close proximity).
He said the officers demanded to see his marriage certificate, although he had told them that they were Christians and should not be subjected to Islamic law.
“We find it difficult to forget the unpleasant episode. My wife was so terrified by the incident that she fears sleeping in that condominium,” he added.
Banhart said the officers were rude and insisted on “seeing the woman” when he opened the door. “My wife had to show herself despite only having a sarong on at that time. We felt humiliated for being treated this way,” he said.
He said he had to send his wife back to the United States on the next available flight because she feared people might return to the condominium to terrify her in the middle of the night.
She flew home on Wednesday.
“I want the religious department to apologise to me and my wife in writing,”

State Religious and Humanity Development Committee chairman Professor Datuk Wira Dr Othman Ishak said he would investigate the matter.

Maybe the Islamists are anticipating a Demorat victory and they are feeling their world wide ruling oats.
Banhart said he would be sailing to Thailand once his yacht was repaired.
The religious department???????
I wouldn't even travel to a place that was heavily muslim, let alone want to live there.
I've been to Rochester, MN. That was scary enough. : )
And they have some doubt whether they should pack up and go home?
Malaysia is not on my list of places to visit
Liberal American women will be wearing burkas if we lose this WOT
memo to Randal Barnhart :
What were you thinking ?
Vote Democrat and you won't have to travel outside the US to be subject to such BS. It'll be Ibrahim Hooper and CAIR knocking at your door.
Shoot, at this point I won't even leave the country.
Banhart said the officers were rude and insisted on “seeing the woman” when he opened the door.
"Show us the woman! We want to see this feelthy woman! Is she clothed? Does she have enormous American breasts? We must see this woman! Show us now!"
This nitwit went to Malaysia intending to have a home there? He did this without knowing anything about the political/religious conditions in the country? He deserves whatever happens to him.
just go to deerbornistan, mi.....it already has sharia law!!!
Is that necessarily a bad thing?

"He said the officers demanded to see his marriage certificate, although he had told them that they were Christians and should not be subjected to Islamic law."
I think the above quote answers your question. He thought Islamic law didn't apply to him. The intersting question is whether he properly learned the lesson here.
Go to an Islamofacist controlled country as an American is not a very wise major life choice.
