Perhaps the issue of the usage of the term "Allah" which had been hovering the silent air in Peninsular Malaysia had resurfaced with a big bang. I mean, literally. 2 nights ago, there were arson attacks on a few churches in Klang Valley, and one of them was Metro Tabernacle. It was located around 500-1000 meters away from my house. It was the church where most of my secondary school friends and teachers who are Christians go to. My condolences to them, and this is really an unfortunate event.
Before this racial tension escalate any further, please do not dwell too deeply into emotional sentiments.The culprits must be caught, but as we can see, there are abuse of words on Islam itself for having such ala terrorist believers. Do note that every religion have its groups of zealots and moderate believers, and this may be the work of one of them ,or perhaps not, as the modern days of politics may even employ such tactics. Fortunately, the Metro Tabernacle church had found a new place to shift to quite some time ago, the last time I heard. All that was waiting was the pending CF, so hopefully, the CF could be hastened for them to move in. Let's just be glad that no one was hurt, and the worldly things can always be replaced.
From the papers, it showed as if the whole building was burnt or brought down to its skeletal remains. Unfortunately (Or rather fortunately), Malaysians don't make good terrorists. Perhaps they hadn't had time to browse through the "Molotov cocktails for dummies" book. While the front part of the ground floor was affected, the 2nd and 3rd floor weren't. Even the other two attempts on other churches did not materialised as the Molotov cocktails did not lit up. Shows great attempt in substandard quality nay?

A snapshot in the morning 1 day later.
I know sometimes religion or those who brought the teachings can get people delusional. But this is too much and far from the acceptable norms. I'll only pray for the well-beings of the people.
P.S: Wait, who should I pray to? :P
