Malaysia will not protect LGBT people because of Islam, says Prime Minister · PinkNews

So adherence to a religious ideology that espouses belief in an imaginary sky fairy takes precedent over the life of a human being,,,

The Prime Minister of Malaysia has cited Islam in saying that the human rights of LGBT people will not necessarily be protected.

Najib Razak spoke at an international Islamic moderation seminar in Bangi Selangor, to say that his administration will adopt some human rights protections but not those which conflict with Islam.

Noting LGBT rights, he said that some of the “more extreme aspects of human rights”, would not be defended by Malaysia.

He said this was in line with the Islamic teaching of balance and moderation.

“Although universal human rights have been defined, we still define human rights in the country in the context of Islam and the Shariah,” he said, reports the Malay Mail.

“Even though it is difficult to defend internationally, we must defend our definition of human rights.”
“And even if we cannot defend human rights at an international level, we must defend it in the Islamic context,” he said.
