It is such a huge constrant between the response between 2 similar faiths..and this controversy although have sprung 2 suing parties...otherwise have handled it at a very calm, rational way without resorting to threats, riots , bloodshed.

Praise be all to Jesus , Christ.

This type of flip-flops really damages the office of the PM.

Doing away with the printing laws would be good but even these laws, such incidents should be managed competently.

I would have a system whereby the PM must be informed of such new conditions before it becomes an issue.

anil netto, a columnist with the herald was the first to break this news of herald getting its permit since it was fr. lawrence who personally called him up on sunday afternoon itself.

JEFF OOI says: Bloggers are no salaried, practising journalists. But blog ethics requires that sources must not be revealed, and that all sources need to be verified before they become published item for public consumption.

there were contrasting report from star and NST. NaSTy paper mentioned johari said that herald should not use allah but star said there is no restriction to not to use star.

fr lawrence did mentioned, i think, the permit was given as usual as any permit would be given, not stating any conditions. but johari said, although herald got its permit, it should not use allah. so what gives eh?? in that case might as well said permit given with condition not to use allah. or is this a case of abdullah (being internal security minister) saying one thing, and his deputy saying another?

The similarities in Islam, Christianity and Judaism are expected because these religions originated from the same area and the people share many cultural, sociological and anthropological traits.

In fact most of the religions we know stole the idea HORUS, the Sun God of Egypt. Watch this video clip and you will understand.

This is their usual arm-twisting way of demanding for your votes, just like their 5/13 threat that works well with the chinese voters. This is also how they threaten most private media houses. But, its already too little too late, and the Christians have decided, just like the Indians have. [ DELETED ]

Allah is an arab word for God. why use arab word when the intention is purely to translate to malay language. why not use tuhan instead. or maybe the intention was to confuse the muslim people. Its written in the Perlembagaan as illegal to preach other religion to Malay Muslim.

JEFF OOI says: For the record, the Catholics community say Bahasa Malaysia is the medium to communicate with the indigenous people in Sabah and Sarawak.

Blogs are now the stargates to investment-forming world opinion on local misgovernances.

Not only the judiciary system but also the administration of justice has come under the electronic microscope.

The Malaysian interplay of race, religion and rights juxtaposes badly with the notion of the global village.

We seem to show too many double standards because of double practices. Soon, we'll be facing the deep paradox of trying to have 2020 vision while seeing double, and while the rest of the world is racing to herald a new set of international standards and norms that progresses society, we continue to pander to the badwi's and badru's of this country just because they think they have the support of the majority, something as Damai Malaysia empirically shown to be 2.3 percent of the sample. If that's 'majority', what's 'minority' then?

So, Badawi's deputy says he triple-checked that the deities were removed before the temple in Shah Alam was demolished because it stood on private property. That's not the point. The point really is that knowing full well we have a multi-religious society, is there a national/state program or system that makes it easier for non-islamic religions to be allocated appropriate sites to build their temples, churches and places of worship legally and without fear of being hauled up? Especially when people see muslims having the best sites for their mosques in all housing estates? Try thinking about that from the non-muslims' point of view for a change. Start with something simple:

'we represent all races and religions so we must do the right thing for everyone.'

This is what is causing all these local misgovernances. The government is in effect run by one race, one religion and one set of rights so that all administrative channels are focused on one angle which leads to all sorts of societal and economic problems. And in Shah Alam, they add geography as well. And in the syariah court, they burn the disk on a technicality - just think about it, nine days too early, a petition is annulled, and two children including the mother get whacked for life; probably including all succeeding generations. What is the substance, the crux and the bottomline of the whole matter? Administrative sirloin.

Let go and let God, so was said. But looking at this country, we need something stronger. Perhaps some of that blue liquid a few drops of which evaporated an entire swimming pool (AvsP2). Very therapeutic.
