"Its irrational, its impossible, its against my religion."

In view of the recent bombings of churches that have caused widespread concern throughout the multiracial nation consisting of diverse ethnics and cultures, one can do little but watch in awe as these immoral activities are being carried out by what seems to be a "demonstration" of sorts in regard to the disagreement of the use of the word "Allah" which is the Arabic word and Muslim reference to God by non-Muslims.

Obviously, the main culprits of these activities which have started since the 8th of January 2010 have no intention of stopping whatsoever, as the Sidang Injil Borneo church in Seremban was the latest church attacked only THIS morning by yet another Molotov cocktail, a type of petrol bomb.
Over the past 3 days, almost 10 churches were threatened or attacked in one way or another by having them vandalised, burnt, equipment stolen and even a pastor being manhandled then shoved to the ground by a bunch of these perpetrators. Other several blogs have reports on these cases and some of them are clearly either FAKE or SPECULATIONS. I urge you not to believe such posts unless it has been officially reported in the news.

The purpose of these acts are no doubt to divide the masses, and has been effective as the reaction from the masses have proven this. The henchmen for all intent and purpose could have been a lowly drug addict that was paid, prepped and staged to carry out these terrorising acts and they could have been of Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim or even Atheist in faith. The act is cowardice for sure and should be brought to justice. But the educated majority(hopefully) should not react from emotion and instead remain calm and collect.
Although I myself am a freethinker, I believe such acts are certainly of much disgrace to the Christ Himself, Christians, not to mention the country.
What is happening to the unity of our nation?
Where is the so-called 1Malaysia spirit in this?
Time will most certainly tell soon enough. For now, stock up on your food and stay home. =D
