KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 — Christians are inviting trouble with their provocative and extremist stand over resolving the impounding of Malay Bibles, an umbrella body representing 19 Muslim non-governmental organisations (NGOs) said today.

The group, which calls itself the Islamic Defenders Organisation (Pembela), accused Malaysia’s minority Christian community of deliberately hurting the feelings of the majority Muslim community with its police reports and harsh statements in its attempt to resolve the ongoing Alkitab row, as the controversy has come to be known.

In its statement today, Pembela demanded that the Christian groups involved in the row return to the mutual respect among religious followers based on the Federal Constitution, legal provision and various other official decisions.

It warned that the “pressure and provocation will cause national political leaders to feel weak and on the losing end and will give in to whatever is asked for by the extremist groups without taking into account the position of Islam in the constitution, history and culture; or provocation and continued breach against feelings and sensitivities of Muslims will cause tension and invite reaction from Muslim who are hard to control by anyone.”

I say this 19 NGOs are inviting the wrath of God to be upon them. Lets pray for God's mercy and blessing be upon them . May their eyes be opened and the truth revealed to them that Jesus is the Way and the Truth that leads to eternal life.

I like to ask PEMBELA only one question. was the Koran given in a silver platter by Allah? If it was prove it. Neither am I saying that the Bible was handwritten by Allah or God..Neither was. Both were written by humans. No one in today's time can claim that they have seen or proven that this is the case. There are claims that even the Koran had the help of a christian Arab woman who helped the prophet . So these 19 NGO's should do some research and be rational and not be " tunnel visioned" Fixed and crystallized in a time zone of the 6th century. No one owns God. NO one can own Allah . It is the most stupid thing to claim that a small creature out in the universe of no where lay claim to a God of a zillion universes and other things the human mind and eye cannot understand nor has seen. So muslims please remove the tudungs and the veils and see far out into the universe and know that you and I are AFRICAN MALAYS, AFRICAN INDIANS OR AFRICAN CHINESE...we all came from one stock...Bloody fools ..one same mother and all are fighting like brainless idiots and insult to the woman who gave birth to all of us..and a direct insult to the creator who wants to live as a family.

I just wonder how will Pembela act if Christian countries starts forming Christian Defenders Organisations and forces their countries to start stamping the Qur'an as "for Muslims only".

those who believe in god will leave to Him on how to punish those who commit wrong doing. In this case, since muslim who started the trouble, then they should apologise and return to previous status on the usage of the word "allah".

Hard to control? Take a look at the Middle East today and you will see millions of Muslims who are out of control. Except that they are not complaining against Christians but despotic Arab rulers who use religion as a tool of control.

Dear PEMBELA,

In Malaysia religion's situation setting; who is starting the chaos fire in the first place? It was your leader who used to pledge the Keris and impounding the Alkitab. What can you do when the minority Christians asking her rights under the light of the true spirit of Federal Constitution? Kill them? Is that the ultimate purpose of your religion's tenets?

Here in Sabah or Sarawak, we live in a big family that has Buddhist, Christians, Islam and pagan together in one family. Are you trying to tell me that we should kill my aunties, uncles, brothers and sisters who are yet Non-Muslim/Muslimah? How dare you!! Yes, we can kill them once but it will never kill their soul. We cannot kill them twice.

Are these minority Christians (Roman Catholic, Protestant Churches, Coptic, East Christians and many more Christian denominations) really disturbing your faith? Or are you include all Christians in Malaysia as your harassment target? How dare you! The Christians have more then 30 denominations in Malaysia which have different each other in teachings and beliefs even though the called themselves as Christian. Some of them quite similar to Muslim's way of diet and yet still called Christian. Are you (Pembela) generalize all Christians in Malaysia as ONE? They are not ONE. They are different to each other. What you can do if all these registered denominations and organizations in Malaysia sue Malaysian government for indirectly "stealing" the Bible which belong to (ONLY) one denomination? You want to run Amok? Is this what our God wants? Please, serve yourself with the light teachings of our Prophet (PUH) on solving Non-Muslim's issues. He (PUH) is very diplomatic Prophet (PUH) and never putting aside minority's interest. Don't ever say that you are better than Prophet Muhammad (PUH).

There's a simple solution. The Government must stamped all Q'uran with the words "For Muslims Only" and each and every copy must bear a sequential serial number before they are distributed.
Happy now, everyone?
