It seems that the 'pihak tertentu' enjoys demolishing non-Muslims' places of worship to gather political support like what the 'pihak tertentu' did in Selangor. <BR/><BR/>Probably in the minds of PAS leaders, temples and churches could deter people from visiting or demanding for night clubs and discos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350045634681358078.post-74520820408742865542007-06-18T00:54:00.000-07:002007-06-18T00:54:00.000-07:00We are not sure who was responsible for demolishin...We are not sure who was responsible for demolishing the Orang Asli church in Gua Musang, the Federal Islamic authorities (UMNO) or the Kelantan State religious authorities (PAS). I think Malaysiakini carried a report recently that the Kelantan govt is going to compensate them for the demolition of the church. If this is so, it clearly shows that PAS is more tolerant of other religions than UMNO. But whoever demolished the church, whether UMNO or PAS, should be punished. As usual all those who have been approached through letters to redress the matter (from PM Badawi to MP Razaleigh) haved maintained a "see no evil, hear no evil speak no evil" attitude on the matter.... a testimony to their HEIGHTENED IRRESPONSBILITY....In Malaysia where Muslims destroy churches, temples, etc. the govt keeps quiet and pretends it does not know, but if anyone were to "insult" Islam, these Muslim fanatics do not hesitate to start a JIHAD!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
