Family loses battle in 'bodysnatching' dispute
Jul 7, 08 1:19pm
A Hindu family today lost a court battle with Islamic authorities over the rights to the body of their relative who a religious syariah court declared to be Muslim.
In the nation's latest dispute over Islamic conversion, the family of Elangesvaran Benedict, who committed suicide last month, said he remained a Hindu and should be buried according to the rites of the religion.The Penang High Court however dismissed an application for an injunction pending an appeal to the Court of Appeal made by a mee seller to stop the Islamic authorities from claiming the body his stepbrother.
Why can't the authorities just leave the poor family alone to bury their dead!
Do they get extra brownie points with their God if they force people to convert to their religion even after they are dead?!?!
