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.

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".

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". AsiaNews sources in Kuala Lumpur confirm ongoing attempts to " politically destabilize the country." "Some people
