All too soon the path will lead to a ridge line on a hill.

RACISM AND RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE HAVE BECOME MAINSTREAM.

Hishammuddin says that the "cow head" protest crosses political boundaries.
It is true.
52 years of "my religion-your religion" and "my race-your race" propaganda-play by the Umno Run Federal Government (URFeG) have borne fruits.
The fruits are bitter.

Today racism and religious intolerance have become the mainstream and Hishammudin is in that mainstream.

The “cow head” protest against a temple relocation proposal in Shah Alam has surpassed political considerations because it involved members of the Opposition as well as Barisan Nasional, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein. He said the Home Ministry knew the numbers of PKR, PAS and BN members involved in the protest and would divulge the information when the time was right.
“The protest has surpassed political considerations. It is a localised issue,” he told reporters after presenting aid to Kampung Melayu Niyor residents here yesterday.

THE SHIT STIRER BECOMES THE HERO.

Malaysians have come to an end game.
Our thin veneer of religious and racial tolerance have ruptured.
The concept of "give and take" as espoused by the UMNO run Federal Government (URFeG) has always been that of other parties giving and only one taking.
This has become the norm.
The emperor crowned as "religious and racial tolerance" wears no clothes and is toothless.

The town hall meeting called today by Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim to hold dialogue over the recent cow-head protest controversy descended into chaos, with around 300 residents from Section 23 jeering and mocking the meeting. Proceedings barely got off the ground before the protesters started shouting and booing at Khalid, along with Khalid Samad (MP for Shah Alam), and Shah Alam mayor Mazalan Md Noor.
Despite calls for calm, the ruckus continued with the upset residents yelling “Penipu!” (liar!) and “Bodoh!” (stupid!) each time Khalid attempted to address them. Tempers frayed at one point, with rowdy protesters standing on their chairs while shouting.

UrFeG must be seen to take immediate action against it's ministers, their members and the public who condone racial supremacy under the guise of religiosity.
Slam them with the penal code.
But URFeG will not.
URFeG will wait till the witching hour of midnight when the clock starts to chime.
When the nation blinks.
When we have descended into semi chaos and fear reigns.
Only will they act with an iron fist for they will be seen as the savior of the nation.
The shit stirrer who stirs racial and religious sentiments becomes the hero.
Many will welcome, indeed embrace and thank URFeG in this final hour.

ISA will live and rise at the expense of the bit political players, their pawns and PR.

Klang MP Charles Santiago, Kuala Selangor MP Dr Dzulkifli Ahmad, Kota Raja MP Dr Siti Mariam, Selangor executive councillor Dr Xavier Jeyakumar, Selangor PKR Youth chief Khairul Anuar Ahmad Zainuddin and a group of PR supporters arrived at the Petaling Jaya district police headquarters where they lodged two police reports.
"We are shocked by the Home Minister's statement. Despite the ongoing police investigations, he had gone to the extend of meeting the suspected offenders and announced that the culprits had no intention to do what what they did," Jeyakumar told reporters outside the police headquarters.
"He is the minister in charge of the police force and has exonerated the offenders.He also has used his powers to influence the course of the probe and the final action to be taken against the offenders," he said.
Meanwhile, Siti Mariam said Hishamuddin had abused his powers and the Malaysian Anti Corruption Agency should investigate him.
"He should watch the video footage of the protest. It is clear what the protestors did was hurtful and insulting to the Hindu community. What they did is also insulting to Muslims as such behaviour is definately not the Islamic way. Islam teaches its followers to respect other religions." she said.
