Lim Guan Eng and religious discord

Mr Lim Guan Eng Sec. Gen. Of the DAP, lately has insisted that the word Allah be allowed in the Bible. He is no ignoramus. He knows very well the consequences of this unreasonable request.

With all consciousness and purposely too he batters Islamic Acts passed in the states and offends their Highnesses. He is fully aware how Muslims must feel about the matter and how they would react but pays it no heed.

He may wish to be regarded as a Champion for the Christians by again raising this forbidden issue. Else he seeks to be deemed a sensational champion by delving into this inadmissible matter yet again.  

There certainly is no need for him to insist that the word God in the Bible be changed to Allah. Christians do not feel that they are prevented in any way from practicing their religion or deprived of any aspect of their religion by not having the word Allah in the Bible.  

God in the Bible means three in one or vice versa, while the Quran categorically states that Allah has no associates. Allah is the complete contrary to the God of the Bible. Allah is One, Singular, Supreme. He does not beget nor is He begotten. He does not expire as did Christ on the cross. He is everlasting, has no beginning and no end. God in the Bible and Allah in the Quran are two distinct and different beings.  

I say Lim Guan Eng, in again raising this issue has ulterior motives. Past and present experience tells us the DAP is not sincere in wanting racial unity. The DAP sows and thrives on discord. They do not learn from History and even deny that that they caused the May 13 1969 riots. In this they do behave like ostriches, burying their heads in the sand whenever it suits them.

Lim Guan Eng sees Najib's 1Malaysia rallying the people together and no doubt feels he needs to put a spanner into it because it is the DAP's loss, so now when Muslims react as predicted by taking to the streets demonstrating, he will say that Malaysians are not united after all.He would be happy to portray to Christians in other countries, who don't know better, that Muslims here are not unlike Muslims anywhere else, unreasonable and intolerant.  

I say characters like Lim Guan Eng, who has no qualms about using religion to sow ill will and animosity among citizens of multi-religious Malaysia has no place in this country.
