    It might be that the mountain does the five fingered shuffle and thus causes the quakes, but people are too embarrassed to admit it.

    wish I could last that long...

    yet another example of not behaving yourself when visiting other countries, ridiculous to tie in the connection to the natural disaster but she may get done for indecency

    I'm not saying cleavage has magical powers or anything but the last time I wore a wonderbra, bad things happened in Nepal.

    Connected? Can't rule it out.

    I'm not usually one for taking the moral high ground and generally take any religious beliefs with a pinch of salt, but am delighted for this idiot. Imagine the national out-rage had some drunken tourists defamed Croagh Patrick (as redundant as it has becomee in terms of spirituality in modern Ireland) and plastered all over social media outlets. Now times that by a thousand in a country where religious beliefs, customs, and often downright fear that every natural disaster is triggered by an angry deity, is as much a fabric of modern life as it was in the the days of the Celts here.

    Those involved deserve any punishment they will get.

    What about people who read shít on the internet and swallow it whole without using their god-given powers of incredulity?

    There are, believe it or not, laws against such behaviours as outlined in the OP.

    Section 294A of the Penal Code, as per the Telegraph's report:

    Why on earth were they stripping naked on top of someone's holy mountain to take photos anyway? Daft thing to do. I don't say they deserve jail over it, but they do deserve a clip around the ear. We wouldn't be overly pleased if a bunch of foreigners wandered naked into an Irish cathedral and made a racket. It's a matter of respect and manners.

    Hopefully they will just be treated as silly foreigners that don't know any better and chucked out.

    By the way, there's absolutely no indication that anyone will be sacrificed to appease anything.
    I know what you're saying but really, it's a big 4000m mountain. It's four times the height of Ireland's biggest, Carrauntoohil, which has a cross at the top of it. I'd be hard pushed to get annoyed at some Malaysians getting their knockers out on the top of Carrauntoohil far away from the general population after having enough of an appreciation to actually climb it.

    Almost every big mountain is religious and if you can't get naked in the most remote and unreachable places in the world, it's a bit sad. They weren't there making a porno.

    Regardless of whether or not you share the tribes religious beliefs, and most of us don't, they knew they were violating a sacred site, yet another stupid internet trend.:rolleyes: If that photo were taken in a graveyard in Ireland there would be outrage and rightly so. I'm not a religious person, but if you visit other people's countries you have to respect their traditions.

    She is not apologising for that, she is doing it for insulting their sacred area. Disgraceful people think she had the right to do what she wanted in another country regardless of their laws.


    Other than Thejournal.ie making a complete balls of the article, as per usual, reading on other news sources, its some locals who blamed her for the earthquake, but this is not what she was arrested for

    I have been up this mountain and its quite achievable to climb it. It is a favourite for school groups to head up there. Although high it is not that difficult a climb.
    Why get naked and post photos on social media is beyond me. There could be a few hundred up there for sunrise so obviously they were spotted by others.

    The beliefs may be silly to us, but ultimately irrelevant as she and the others aren't being charged with causing an earth quake. Also, the tribal people have every right to not have people come to there sacred mountain and act the fool. The fact remains that she and her cohorts broke the law at a sacred site to the local indigenous tribal people.

    We have indecency laws in a lot of Western countries btw, here is the one from the UK, where she is from:
    United Kingdom

    In England and Wales, the offence of "indecent exposure" and other sexual offences were replaced by the more specific and explicit Sexual Offences Act 2003. The Act does not mention nudity as such and is worded so as not to apply to skinny dipping, nude sunbathing, and similar activities. Current laws apply only to genital exposure with intent to shock those who do not want to see them. The maximum penalty is two years' imprisonment, but this is extremely rare as most cases are dealt with by a fine.[8][9] Public nudity can also be punished as "disorderly behaviour" under the Public Order Act 1986.[10]

    The situation in Northern Ireland is complex as some parts of this Act apply but others do not and the Assembly is considering new legislation.[citation needed]

    Btw, you can in extreme cases get 2 years for it in the UK. So its not like what she did isn't illegal in her own country, so no real excuses imho.

    She will probably have the book thrown at her as well due to doing this at a sacred site, and also as one of the other people who have since left the country went on a tirade about the whole thing, and generally acting like an idiot.

    A British student jailed in Malaysia after being accused of causing an earthquake by posing naked on a sacred mountain is said to be "scared and upset".!!!

    A few days later, a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck nearby and killed 18 climbers - prompting a senior Malaysian politician to say that the tourists' behaviour was to blame.

    She is in jail for public indecency, a law that exists in her native UK. I fail to see the nonsense for someone being arrested for breaking the law. If you actually read beyond the sensationalism, you will see that the people blaming them for the earth quake is not why they were arrested.

    ya f her she deserves to be punished ,

    she was specifically warned not to expose herself of otherwise disrespect the area and chose to disregard it.

    The whole idea, as far as I'm concerned, is nonsense . [my view]

    Some have left the country already, but some of the men have been arrested as well.
