around the blogosphere… the al-islam issue
Post on Jul.11, 2009
UPDATED 15 JULY
the nutgraph (al-islam breached code of ethics) had a second story – this time they interviewed the bishop of penang.
then on 14 july, there was a report on this issue in the star (‘reporters who entered church face charges of disharmony’
and the sun (‘police probe al islam report over report offensive to catholics’ .
there is also a video up on malaysiakini where both stanley and joachim (the two who made the police report) were interviewed. (watch it at youtube if you can’t see it on malaysiakini)

These guys are merely trying to sell magazines. For eg. you highlighting their efforts, more people may end up buying that magazine. Just like its parent publication, Utusan, they thrive on sales based on innuendos.
May I suggest that you dont bother with them. Let them be. They will try and do more “extreme” things to get publicity, and eventually our extremely efficient Police force will take action. Its just a matter of time.
Treat it as the dying gasps of a drowning man. Eventually they & us will have to face our maker. Funnily, both of us will have to face the same JUDGE. We believe that our JUDGE is DIVINE, whilst they believe that he is a human, Isa Al-Masihi (pbuh). Both are Abrahamic faiths at the end of the day.
Lets worry about jump starting the economy rather than wasting time over an issue that Our Maker can handle.
(Surely Our Maker has the capacity to handle this. He said it in His Manual, vengence is mine, sayeth the Lord). So let it slide my sister.

you are right in a way. us highlighting this issue will give a boost to the magazine’s sale. in fact i have not heard of this magazine before until when my colleague discovered this article from the magazine from a friend. anyway my colleagues felt it is necessary to made the police report as like most of us catholics, we were outraged at the desecration of the ‘body of christ’. i will not pursue/blog on this issue any further unless it is something major or something which need to be informed (as a follow-up).

Dear Lucia
I thank God that this al-islam article is written. Now, I am asked about my faith…”what about you” as in do I believe in Jesus or do I want to leave Him like many when they found out that the teaching of Jesus is not to their expectation.
Here…a friend asked in an email, what are we Catholics gonna do because “the cock has crowed already”…
Anyway…will go through the whole issue as to find out as to what exactly had happened.
This is not the first time the Body of Christ is under attacked. There are many persecutions going on now in various form and guise and various places.
Thank you and take care.

yes i am aware the body of christ had been attacked before and christians had been under persecutions here and there. while it is fine for us not to over react or worst get violent, sometimes we ought to take some small little action – like lodging police report.
in stanley’s forwarded email to many people about this issue he had suggested for us to PRAY. yes, that’s one of the best thing we can do, to pray that these sort of thing won’t happen again or even to forgive those 2 persons (‘they know not what they are doing’
.
