And even the head of the Church said it was a radical few and shouldn't be held as indicative of the entire religion. The victim of this crime is less xenophobic than you people.

Twista, you know they only say the things they say so they do not get murdered themselves. The problem is that this type of thining and problem solving exists and is only getting more widely adopted because nobody does anything about it so it works for them. It is only human nature to do what works. If it was proven not to work, it would not be so widely adopted.

The head of the Malaysian Evangelical Church is a multi-millionaire with homes in multiple countries. I don't think he needs to worry about being vulnerable to getting killed.

Trust me, there are plenty of people already trying to kill him, especially considering the poverty in that region. Death threats are nothing new to him. I commend him for taking the high road and not trying to start a holy war like some in here would like.

"Islam is above all. Every citizen must respect that," said Ahmad Johari, who attended prayers at the National Mosque. "I hope the court will understand the feeling of the majority Muslims of Malaysia. We can fight to the death over this issue."

When are people going to realize that Islam is NOT a religion of peace!?

They should patent the word "Allah" if they don't want others to use it. That's about as stupid as their reasoning.

Similarly Timothy McVeigh is indicative of all Americans much like these guys are indicative of all Muslims.
