Kuala Lumpur Mosques desecrated with pig's head - symbolic tit-for-tat for attack on 11 churches and sikh temple

 

Four wild-boar heads were thrown early this morning into the compound of two mosques along Jalan Klang Lama, a major road in the southwest of Kuala Lumpur.

 

Not quite the same as burning a church down ~ and no doubt pigs ran wild over all of Malaysia at one time - in this case a good mop and bucket will do the trick. One thing must be said that the Malaysia authorities have moved quickly to arrest those responsible for the attacks on the non-Muslim places of worship - which is almost completely at odds with the way it works in the rest of the Muslim world - where most attacks are carried out with impunity - in some case the police are there as witnesses.

 

The Koran calls for a very definite second class status for non-Muslims living among Muslims in the Islamic world - and most of the time this is respected over universal human rights norms.

 

Kuala Lumpur (AsiaNews) - Some mosques in Kuala Lumpur have been desecrated with pig's heads. The remains of the animal - which is considered "unclean" by Muslims - were scattered in fields adjacent the places of worship. The police speak of a link between this incident and recent attacks on Christian churches, which broke out following the controversy over the use of the word "Allah". AsiaNews sources confirm that there is an ongoing in Malaysia attempt to " politically destabilize the country".

 

In the last few weeks 11 Christian churches and Protestants, a Sikh temple and Muslim places of worship have been affected. Inter-religious tensions in Malaysia exploded after the court ruling last December 31, which authorized Christians to use the word "Allah" to refer to God in the Malay language. Musa Hassan, chief of police, points a finger at "a group" that aims to stoke sectarian hatred in a country with a Muslim majority, but that is also home to large Chinese and Indian communities.

 

Hazelaihi Abdullah, imam of the mosque in Taman Dato Harun, confirmed the discovery of a severed pig's head near the place of worship. A similar episode occurred in the nearby mosque of Al Imam al Tirmizi and the mosque of Sri Sentosa, on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. Hishammuddin Hussein, Minister for Foreign Affairs, condemned the attempt to "create chaos in the country." The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism and Taoism - a body that promotes interfaith dialogue - has issued a statement stressing that "all violence against places of worship and prayer is a very serious sin" and has invited civil society "not to give in to provocation".

This type of thing not only MY will riot, once Muslim extremists groups such as al-khaeda get word of this, there will be serious repercussions on a global scale.

If the clash gets out of hand, we will suffer. It is just beside our door, if it breaks out, it will spread to our own island, even though we are said to tolerate each other but I guess all of us have seen before friends who are extremist just that they do not have the chance to let loose.

Uh huh! We're kinda surrounded too ya know?!

 

Religious harmony is important to any nation, and I feel that we should respect all religions regardless of our personal beliefs. Our gahment, although wrong & unjust on many fronts, at least got this part correct!

[Babyt]

Good grief can we be more sensitive? There is a religious storm brewing throughout the world and ppl like you take the harmony which we enjoy in Singapore so lightly. The govt has worked so hard to ensure social stability. Lets not take what we have for granted. If you have been in Jakarta during the 1999 riots, you would be singing a different tune. Pls show some respect for your fellow man.

If you study the 1964 racial riots in SG, it is very easy for this to boil over...
