Our PM in waiting has at last broken his silence over the disruption of the Bar Council forum on Saturday. I particularly like the following statement made by him as reported in Malaysiakini.
"I have tried to get Muslim leaders to appreciate the fact that we must allow a discussion (on religious issues). If you're not confident (to discuss the matter), then there's something wrong with our belief and faith. You must be confident to express, counter and argue."
If only all Muslims in this country heed his advice there wouldn't be such ugly episode in the future. That applies to us non Muslims as well. If I tell you your religion is a fraud, are you going to bash me up or engage me intellectually to persuade me it isn't. Even if I can't be persuaded you can just leave me alone and let your God or gods deal with me.
Yes, express, counter and argue. And not asking some species to go back to China or other races to go to hell.
