I refer to some statements on how upsets some Christians are with regards to PM's speech during christmas day. I am not so sure why they are so upset. PM did not insult Christianity. To Muslims, Jesus was a mere mortal . He was also a prophet. Muslims and Islam have high regards on him. One chapter of Kuran is named after her mother, Lady Mary. In Islam, she is accorded as "a chosen lady among all nations". I do not understand why there are some people in this forum is so upset. Did PM belittle Christianity. No. Did he mock the faith. No. K1980 asked "Did Mullah Dullah say that Christian God is a servant of his God". Rest assured, PM or Malays respect the faith although they may differ on status of Jesus. Muslims are reminded in Kuran "not to mock the belief of others the way they do not like their faith on Me(Allah) is ridiculed". As for Mr Diaperhead, he may not realize on the construction of 2 big statues in Batu caves recently. UMNO may not encourage building of statues. But it certainly never stops building of such statues. Please do not accuse UMNo of violating the freedom of practising other faiths than Islam in Malaysia. As for the appeal of Islam, perhaps people are attracted to Islam due to its simplicity. There is no need for intermediary between mere mortal and Allah. In Islam, everybody is born as pure as a white cloth. Nobody in Islam can excommunicate anybody to hell or heaven. A sultan , Caliph, amir, PM are mere leaders. Their authority is temporal. They can not claim to receive divine blessing. It runs in harmony with law of human nature. Sex is allowed. No need to supress sexual desire in order to be close to God. Dear readers.

The Catholics currently have to endure the apprehension of whether the Herald's permit is going to be granted and yet he had the audacity to tell us Catholics (and all Malaysians alike) to respect Islam? We have been respecting Islam for as long as we have lived in this country but somehow I personally feel it is a one-way street. I sure would like to hear KTK saying this during a Hari Raya festival, “Malaysians, while celebrating Hari Raya, must respect other religions in view of the country's multi-religious make-up". And you know what is going to happen next? He is going to kena B-B-Q'd by none other than UMNO Youth.

Or is he trying to collydolly with the Umnoputras before he goes to Federal (for good). This is very dangerous to imply that Christians should be 'celebrate-sensitized' to Islam for what? Christians don't need a Bhuddist to teach them how to celebrate CHRISTmas in BolehLand. Merry CHRISTmas to all Malaysians and foreigners.
