MARCHING DOWN THE ROAD WITH A MOB BESIDE YOU.

The Warong Kopi suggests that the issue of the blasphemous picture of Jesus Christ be closed and not be religionized nor prolong any longer. The Christian community has made their point - that all religious sensibilities must be respected. They must forgive as they have always forgiven and move on. The community war is not against those who seek to slander and provoke but against poverty and brokenness in the soul, mind and body. However, when the community moves forward from this incident, those imbecilic individuals and those covertly sanctioned groups should not be allowed to continue to test this community.
The Warong Kopi would also like to suggest to some of the leaders of this community to remain sober in their demand of justice for they are the “salt of the world”. Making your unnecessary hard line statements would be akin to marching down the road with a mob beside you.
Do make a guess as to who leads the mob.



MCCBCHS wants action against Tamil daily for Jesus Christ pic

The Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism (MCCBCHS) wants the authorities to investigate a Tamil newspaper which published on its front page a picture of Jesus Christ holding a cigarette in one hand and what looks like a beer can in the other.

Its president Datuk A. Vaithilingam wants the Internal Ministry to act against those responsible for the publication of the picture.

Makkal Osai, a Tamil daily, printed the picture on yesterday with a caption quoting Jesus Christ roughly as saying "if someone repents for his mistakes, then heaven awaits them".

The daily apologised today for the publication.
