Malaysia 'Allah' Ruling Sparks Arson Attacks on 8 Churches
Police on Monday reported the eighth arson attack on a church in Malaysia since the High Court ruled that non-Muslims can use the word “Allah” to refer to God.
Sometime between 1:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. local time, unknown vandals attacked Sidang Injil Borneo Church on the western coast of Malaysia. Burn marks were found on the church’s main entrance door, according to local newspapers. But the arson did not affect the interior of the building.
Deputy police chief of Negeri Sembilan state Datuk Abd Manan Mhd Hassan told reporters that officers, a forensic unit and members of the fire department inspected the damaged door after a man reported the scorching Monday morning.
“We believe assailants used petro to set fire to the door but, fortunately, the fire did not spread,” Hassan said.
He added that all police patrol cars and officers on duty have been called to monitor places of worship, especially mosques and churches.
“I urge the people to stop such activities,” the deputy police chief appealed to Malaysians. “Do not do anything that can disrupt peace and harmony of the country. We will take stern action against those found responsible.”
In addition to security provided by police, Muslim non-government organizations have also begun to patrol church areas in the Klang Valley – an area on the west coast that includes the capital Kuala Lumpur – where four churches were targets of arson attacks.
Muslim volunteers began patrolling Monday night in two shifts, from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. until dawn, according to Malaysia’s The Star newspaper.
The Muslim NGO’s have committed to be the “eyes and ears” of the government, which has condemned the attacks on churches, to ensure the security of Christian places of worship.
Attacks on churches and other Christian-owned buildings occurred after a High Court judge ruled on Dec. 31, 2009, that the word “Allah” is not exclusive to Islam and that the government’s Home Ministry is “not empowered” to ban non-Muslims from using the word.
Why is it that anywhere this religion is present somehow violence erupts there? It doesn't matter what country it is, if Islam exists you can bet there will be some kind of violent action there. Islam is inherently evil.
"Islam" is nothing more than a ridiculous, backward-engineered and completely bastardized form of Judaism. That is not an insult to Jews, either. This muhammud dude, was on some sort of "visit" to Jerusalem and he was turned back (more than once, I read) because he had a buncha armed people with him. Nobody knows why. Nobody knows why he chose to venture to Jerusalem some 600+ years after the birth of the Savior either. But after being turned back enough times, he just decided he'd have - most likely drug induced - "visions", which someone got paid to write down, and that became the koran or whatever they call it. Most of what the moslems teach comes from the sacred Torah and because muhammud was all mad at the Jews and Christians in the first place ... there is plenty of anger thrown it as well. So you get what we have today .... moslem violence, jealousy and rage because they can't develop themselves with the totalitarian laws they cling to, keeping themselves in the stone age.
ReplyDeleteLots of religions keep to ancient ways and therefore refuse to develop technologically or socially, but only moslems murder innocents because of it.
Sorry for the blog-hog, Hack ... I'll take whatever butt-chewing I deserve :)
Islam is a global human rights abuse. Why is it that everywhere they are, so it conflict?
