Beef. It's Muslim Food

September 14, 2007

Revathi Massosai wanted to change her official registration to Hindu from Muslim. The Malaysian woman was born to Muslim converts but she was raised by a Hindu grandmother and married a Hindu man. But when she went to court to try to change her registration, she was seized by authorities and taken to an Islamic rehabilitation center where she was held for six months. She says the attempts at "rehabilitation" consisted of efforts to force her to say Muslim prayers, to wear a head scarf and to eat beef. Revathi has been released from the rehabilitation center but she and her daughter have been placed in the custody of her Muslim parents.
