I Swear and it's intepretation

Saiful ready to swear he was sodomised by Anwar: Dad

Saiful to swear on Quran and Imam of Islam Hadhari backs Anwar accuser after mosque 'stunt'.

Meanwhile Muslim Scholars' Association president Datuk Syeikh Abdul Halim Abd Kadir and National Fatwa Council member Perak mufti Datuk Harussani Zakaria says "Saiful's act not necessary". While Perlis Mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin echoes "Holding Quran While Taking Oath Wrong Belief".

While Saiful’s dad calls on Anwar to swear to clear name and cooperate as not delay probe. Mahathir joined in calls for "dares Anwar to swear".

The question here, should Anwar swear, would Saiful's dad agree that Anwar did not sodomize his son subsequently?

While Anwar had said "Don't make a mockery of Quran", Abdullah Badawi says "Ball in Anwar's court". Muhyiddin Yassin, further questioned "What is Anwar afraid of"?

The swearing controvesy had gained domestic and international thoughts from Islamiic scholars which goes like;
(a) Anwar need not swear on Quran: Penang ulama
(b) Former Indonesian President Gus Dur says "Swearing on Quran 'un-Islamic'"
(c) Nik Aziz, PAS Spiritual Leader says "Swearing on Quran not Islamic practice"
(d) Syarie Lawyers Body Says Saiful Should Give Evidence In Court, Not In Any Public Place

While everyone is caught up with Permatang Pauh by-election and sodomy, BN lawakers are hard at work tabling DNA Bill at first reading which is claimed with eye on Anwar case while Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said "DNA Bill Not Politically Motivated" while we Malaysians had not forgotten the insistence in Parliament when Syed Hamid and Khairy had embarked on a crusade to call for Anwar to provide his DNA during the recent police arrest.
