The Cow Head Trap

by Nathaniel Tan

ps- a word of appreciation to sdr/i Muslimin dan Muslimat who have been posting up Surah Al-An’am : 108 on Facebook. Dengan kawan sebegini, selamatlah Malaysia.

It’s very disturbing news.

I won’t write long on this now, but I’m inclined to agree with those who counsel caution and restraint in our indignance at this matter - clearly there is the stink of a trap in this whole matter.

Someone commented: they tried to instigate the Chinese and failed, now trying the Indians.

Who’s they? Oh I don’t know, maybe those who have an interest in keeping Malaysia racially segregated? Maybe those interested in creating chaos in Selangor.

And indeed this mob had the look of an incited one. One that had the time and money to plan and spend on banners and the like.

I am inclined to either suspect engineering from higher sources, or dismiss as truly fringe elements.

I have perfect faith in the fact that the last thing any good Muslim would do after Friday prayers in the holiest of months is to behead a cow, drag it from the mosque, and then defile it in an expression of hate and intolerance.

All this for a *proposed* temple? I think men of good faith would sit and negotiate. Men who are doing the work of other hateful people though………

Anyway. I have long, long stressed that in when a Malay is wronged, it is best for non-Malays to champion the cause. The converse is true here. Let us not vent anger, but seek solutions, and work to uncover evil.
