More than a hundred (113 at noon) civil society groups and several political parties have come out to strongly condemn the attempted arson attacks against three churches following the controversy over the use of the word Allah.
They issued the statement here at a joint press conference held at the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall this afternoon.
The condemnation comes in the wake of an attack on a fourth church. Rev Hermen Shastri, the General Secretary of the Council of Churches of Malaysia, says he has been informed that the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in PJ old town has been fire-bombed sometime between last night and this morning.
“Police report made and police investigating. Fire bomb missed window and minor damage,” he said in a text message.
