The Differences Between the Anti-Muslim Protest in UK and A Cow Head Protest in Shah Alam.

"FART YOU THE COW HEAD PROTESTERS AND UMNO'S SUPPORTERS"

On 28th August 2009 about three days before Malayan celebrates it 56th Independent Day from Britian, A group, claiming to be Muslim residents of Section 23 in Shah Alam, the new site of the temple which is to be relocated, held a demonstration outside the Selangor state secretariat, dragging a severed cow-head, an animal sacred in Hinduism, which they stomped and spat. According to the spokemen of the group Mohd. Zurit(Sound like burit or ass) Bin Ramli, they protest the building of the temple because 90% of the population in the area were muslims( later confirmed only 60% were Muslims), and according to him

“With a temple on our residential area, we cannot function properly as Muslims. The temple will disrupt our daily activities like prayers in the Surau. We cannot concentrate with the sounds coming from the temple. The temple will also will cause traffic jam ".

The protest took place under the gaze of the riot police, the government agency which is popular with their inhumane treatment against the opposition protesters, without taking any action what to say to disperse the protesters The next day, The Home Minister Hishamuddin Hussien (or popularly known as Keris Mudin among oppositions) said five days later that the residents of Section 23 should not be charged as they only wanted their voices to be heard but it was unfortunate that “the publicity they received was negative as it was linked with racial and religious sentiments.” But on 3rd September 2009 he changed his stand amid mounting pressure from Pakatan Rakyat that wanted him to be sacked as the Home Minister.

Muslim Protesters in England! In Great Britian angered by a protest mounted by a bearded Islamists during British soldiers returning from Iraq, holding up signs accusing the men of being "butchers" ,"baby-killers and “Anglian Soldiers Go to Hell’ English Defense League, tried to mount a protest in Birmingham, where they clashed with anti-fascist demonstrators. In August 2009 , the League's second attempt at a Birmingham protest quickly descended into violence, with some 200 people, many of them of South Asian descent, seen fighting, throwing projectiles and running from riot police. Police made 90 arrests. The latest incident on Friday, 11th Sep 2009, an openly Islamophobic group, Stop Islamification of Europe (SIOE), promised an evening protest outside a northwest London mosque to coincide with the eighth anniversary of Sept. 11 and with Ramadan, the Muslim holy month.Only a handful of demonstrators showed up — and they were vastly outnumbered by Muslims c0ming to defend the mosque.Police hustled the protesters away from the angry crowd. But television footage showed Muslim youths racing through the streets shouting "Allahu Akbar!", waving Islamic banners and throwing projectiles at riot police. Scotland Yard reported 10 arrests. And on Saturday, 12th September 2009, Communities Minister John Denham accused the anti-Islam protesters of deliberately stirring up trouble.

"The tactic of trying to provoke a response in the hope of causing wider violence and mayhem is long established on the far-right and among extremist groups," Denham was quoted as saying by The Guardian newspaper. "You could go back to the 1930s if you wanted to — Cable Street."

Can we see the different between how the government and its agencies handled the incidences in Shah Alam and in England?

In Shah Alam the protest happening in front the riot police, just because they were Muslims and mooted by UMNO their boss, no actions were taken either to disperse or to arrest the protesters. And five days later, the UMNO minister who was in-charge of internal affairs of the nation announced that he did not blame them for their actions.

Where as in Great Britain, both of the groups were protected and arrested by the Police. And the next day, the minister who himself was a Christian, condemned openly the action of the SIOE. As a conclusion Hishamuddin and the police must be faired and seen fair to all Malaysian irrespective of religions and races. Being the public servants they must serve all Malaysians, or they should not holding the job entrusted to them.

As for Hishamuddin (Keris Mudin) his personality is not suitable for an Internal Affairs Minister...BUKIT TUNGGAL.

Cow Head Protest In Shah Alam Can Happen in Sarawak If The Non-Muslims in Sarawak Having A Short Minded Mentality

I was shocked to read in the english portals on how about 50 muslim in the watchful eyes of about one section strength of (incompetence) policemen marched into a State Secretariat building in Shah Alam with severly cut and still bleeding cow head. The group also threatened the state government that there will be a blood shed unless their demand to relocate the construction of a Sri Mahamariamman temple to Section 22 are met.

The action of the group can provoke racial tension between the muslim and hindu in the state. In condemning the action of the group, Khairy Jamaluddin the UMNO youth head said the action will anger the Hindus, adding those who organised the protest should consider their actions if others protested the building of mosques in non-Malay areas by burning and stepping on the Quran. “Won’t the Malays be enraged. If yes, isn’t the cow head protest equally insulting?” he asked, adding he would equally defend Islam against its detractors and other religions too. According to Hinduism cow is a sacred animal.

And about the comment of Selangor Police Chief , that the police only going to take action if someone make a police report. I could not believed that such an excuse came from the head of Selangor police force, the man who is responsible toward the inernal security of the state. Dont the police have done the Tactical Appreciation on how and what to do in any situation?. Tell us if an by a group of people that can cause racial tension and happening infront of a section strength of policemen has to wait for a Police Report before they can spring into action. I'm doubt whether our policfemen are compentent enough? or they are part of the group.

And ACP Noor Azam Jamaludin the Shah Alam OCPD (see photo) said they cannot take police action in votile situation as its may spark more anger.....well just let thesituation deteriorated or racial tension than the police can take action, i.e using tear gas or water canon?

To the group that participate in this cow head protest, please come to Sarawak, and see it yourself how the non-muslims and muslim live peacefully with each other. Few long houses especially in N25 Balai Ringin (as an example) , where only less than 5 families are muslim, the mosques are built side by side with the churches or longhouses. And in some of the housing estates, with 90% non-muslims of whose majority are Christians, they never protest what to say stepping on the Quran. Another good example is where a big mosque was built in an army camp (Penrissen Camp) where majority or about 80% of the population within the camp vacinity are non-muslim.

If we all love this country, the Muslims must learn to understand and to co-exist with the Malaysians from the other faiths.

Our past leaders had sacrificed a lot in order to make Malaysia as one of the successful multi-racial nation. Malaysian image has been tattered by one of the most wanted terrorist, a Muslim from Malaysia. Don't make our image in tatters further with such an action which can destroy this lovely nation Malaysia. I strongly believe that many Muslim in Malysia disagreed with the action of the group that call themselves a Section 23 Resident's Commitee.

To the police force, please be fair and to be seen as fair when executing your noble duties. Be proactive in doing your work.

The Christians, Hindus and Buddhism leaders had issued their statements and condemned the action of those 200 muslims, What about the muslim ulamas in the country. Islam must be seen as a religion of telorance not only in words but also in action.

PRESS STATEMENT BY HINDRAF RELATED TO THE INCIDENT

ON FRIDAY, 28TH AUGUST 2009

Saturday, 29th August 2009.

HINDRAF condemns the latest incident involving the act of placing a severed cow’s head outside the gates of the state secretariat building in Selangor.HINDRAF believes UMNO and their cohorts in the Royal Police Force (PDRM) organized this act that is inflammatory with an intention to incite and create racial hatred and feelings between the Muslims and Hindus.These perpetrators were able to walk over 300 metres in open public and conduct their seditious speeches calling openly for bloodshed, and racial chaos without any interference from the police force. So far nothing has been done by the PDRM or the AG’s department other than issuing lip service statements.Selangor Police chief Khalid Abu Bakar states “If a report is lodged, we will definitely take the necessary action". Here we are talking about an outright and outrageous act in fanning racial hatred that could threaten the public security and he claims he needs a police report before an action can be taken.The police had on many previous occasions brutally arrested and questioned peaceful protesters without any reasons for fear of public security, but they would need a report before they can take any action for those incitingviolence and parading in the public with a severed cow’s head to undermine the sensitivity of the Hindus. This is absurd and nonsensical.Who else could practice such double standard other the UMNO led government and its stooges and that is why HINDRAF believes that this is the work of the UMNO government to create unrest in Selangor.There is no distinction between a Muslim dominated areas and non-Muslim dominated areas as Malaysia is one multiracial and multicultural society living together side by side in co-existence in respect of each other’s race,religious practice and beliefs.Instead of promoting harmony amongst Malaysians, UMNO is fast becoming a public threat by protecting such devious and extremist acts.UMNO should curtail such irresponsible acts rather than seeding and sowing hatred, bullying extremist elements and fascist mindset amongst the fanatical Muslims for their own political survival.PM Najib has to immediately issue a statement and make a firm stand on the subject and not delegate this paramount duty to his “mandores” and eventually hoping for the whole issue to be swept under thecarpet.If the AG’s department fails to charge these perpetrators, HINDRAF would proceed to formally lodge complaints with the UN Human Rights Council, European Parliament, UK Foreign affairs select committee andthe Global Human Rights Defence based in The Hague.In solidarity for a harmonious Malaysia Hindraf calls upon all peaceful citizens who respect and cherish Religious Freedom and the right to co-exist to join us on a peaceful candle vigil at Dataran Merdeka on 5th September 2009 at 6.45pm.Thank you.
