Salvaging religion from quacks Campaigns and Hindutva sloganeering, There has been a growing feeling that unless the PM speaks out, in the long run the communal surround sound would undermine his agenda for the economy caused by religious, ethnic or economic cleavages. All of the above or any one of these could have been the immediate reason for the killings. But what they have laid bare is that the basic underlying assumption in Malaysia that one culture can laminate over all other cleavages is a lie.A common culture is not enough of a glue to paper over the growing gaps between immigrants and the Malay Muslims Even Communist China has spectacularly failed in elevating the God of Communist Nationalism as a substitute for religion or ethnicity. This is despite the assistance of State machinery which is at its best in very heavy handed policing. But a Common Culture is surely anathema alongside a belief in Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.

To drag the country back towards religious bigotry and social disharmony.
It is my considered view that liberal Muslims far outnumber fundamentalist Muslims Will the majority, in its own self-interest, now stand up and oppose the hijacking of Islam by the loonies Perkasa, Pekida and PAS a "religious criminal organisation" leading to the ethnic cleansing in Malaysia our media pride themselves on free and bold speech, they maintain a conspiracy of silence on some issues relating to the supposed “national interest.” Tengku Adnan has taken an important first step to reassure a large section of its voters that it will not succumb to its extremist fringe.
