Pa, Ku Ma (Auntie)'s church got bombed

Those words from my 10 year old daughter greeted me when I arrived home from work today. My sister is a regular worshiper at the Assumption Church in PJ which was petrol bombed early in the morning.

I'm wondering what kind of Malaysia my daughters are going to grow in. Are acts of religious and racial violence going to be common occurrences? Are lives going to be as cheap as those in Iraq where you don't know when you are going to be blown up? Are we, the minority going to be subject to the tyranny of the majority?

I don't know. I just know that I got to spend more time talking with my daughters. Not sure where to start. God help me.
