Protesters threaten bloodshed over Hindu temple
By Shazwan Mustafa Kamal | The Malaysian Insider
SHAH ALAM, Aug 28 — A group of Malay-Muslim protesters claiming to be residents of Section 23 have threatened bloodshed unless the state government stopped the construction of a Hindu Temple.
Amid chants of "Allahuakbar," the group also left the severed head of a cow at the entrance of the State Secretariat here as a warning to Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim.The "residents" said that the construction of a Hindu temple in a 90 per cent Malay- Muslim neighbourhood was insensitive because activities there would disrupt their lives.
They claimed that the "noise" from the temple would disturb their own praying, and that they would not be able to function properly as Muslims.

THAT'S A BIG LOAD OF BULL, I SAY.
Listen to what a wise old owl named Dr Raffick has to say about this stupid and reckless political stunt...
[Photos courtesy of The Malaysian Insider, Malaysiakini & Google Images]"The actions taken by 50 odd residents of Section 23 have brought shame to all Muslims in Malaysia. They have shown the ugly side of their conduct. They have been disrespectful. They have defamed Islam. They hide behind the veil of the religion for their ugly, uncivilized and barbaric act. To all my Hindu friends, I apologize for their ignorance. To the PM and the MB of Selangor, please use the full might of the law on these people who have defamed Islam. To the other Muslim residents of Section 23 Shah Alam, please talk some sense to these 50 people. To the Hindus, please forgive them for their ignorance."
