For a taste of something different

So, Jawi just said admitted that the couple whose room that they raided earlier this year are in fact married. But they're still insisting that the raid is lawful? How? Explain yourself properly because I'm failing to see how it is, given that you injured the couple in the raid, refused to accept marriage certificates after it has been provided and forced people to pay a bond in order to secure their release and a court appointment.

How is this is not contradictory at all? Your 'supposed' duty is to catch Muslims who are inappropriately close to each other but you don't even show restraint (eight people to catch a couple in an act. That's excessive in every way) and you disrespect the sanctity of the institution that you claim to protect (disregarding legal proof that a couple is married in the form of their marriage certificate).

Not to say that this is a thing that real police won't do (they do that in so many places around the world) but this galls me especially since Jawi is a religion enforcement group, which by the statement alone is something that is idiotic and unnecessary.

Religious police are a thing of the past and should not be enforced on people in this day and age. Religion is, after all, something that is personal and between yourself and your faith. Policing it simply means you are enforcing your beliefs onto others and the term for that is dictator, something that religions should not aspire to be.

So, it is my hope that Jawi takes a huge blow from this case. Religious police should be something that is buried and forgotten like the ancient relic that it is, possibly with graffiti from people who say that they were there. Oh and before people think that only Islam has religious police, google Alabama megachurch has its own police force. Why does a church need its own police force anyways? It makes no sense.
