Khairy condemns protest with cow head

Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin has strongly condemned the protest against the relocation of a Hindu temple where angry residents paraded a severed cow’s head this afternoon.

Calling on the protesters to reflect on their action, he asked: “How would you feel if the proposal to build a mosque in a non-Muslim area - which is already happening - leads a group of non-Muslims to burn and stomp on the Quran?”

“Would not the Malays rise with anger? If yes, then parading with a cow’s head is just as insulting?” he added.

Khairy warned that such emotional acts could jeopardise peace in the country.

“If the residents were dissatisfied with the proposal to build a temple in their area, they should have used the existing channels to air their grouses,” he said.

‘Islam does not condone this.’

He said although a memorandum submitted earlier by the residents might have failed to change the state government’s stand on the issue, it was not an excuse to demonstrate in such an insulting manner as if this was an uncivilised country.

The Umno Youth leader added that he was saddened that the protest was done in the name of Malay non-governmental organisations and after Friday prayers in the month of Ramadhan.

“I believe this is not an action condoned by Islam, a religion which espouses humility and respect for other religions. This act is surely
to anger the Hindus,” he said.

“Where is the spirit of 1Malaysia, especially among the Malay Muslims who are the majority in this country. I pray that this incident does not lead to anything more serious,” he added.

Khairy said while he would rise to defend the dignity of Islam if the religion is belittled, “I will also voice out if other religions are insulted.”

I never thought I would say this, but for once I agree with Khairy!

I know of one place where there is no room for any other religious house of worship other than Islam’s.

Mecca.

So does that mean the Muslims living in Section 23, Shah Alam are trying to turn their area into a mini Mecca? A place where no non-Islamic house of worship is allowed?

Makes you wonder if indeed this is happening in Malaysia, doesn’t it?

    Thanks for visiting my blog. For a while I had some issues with my template. Otherwise, the lack of update has to do with family commitment .. I hope to update more frequently once things start settling down on the home front.
