Act by group has no place in Islam

THE G25, like all right-thinking Muslims and Malaysians in general, are appalled by the mindless act of hatred and intolerance on the part of the protesters in Taman Medan who had demanded that the church there take down the cross from its wall, “50 stage protest against cross on new church” (The Star, April 20).

This abhorrent act of intolerance and bigotry against another religion’s place of worship has no place in Islam and deserves the strongest condemnation. The protesters are obviously ignorant of the tenets of their faith and need to deepen their knowledge of Islam and of Islamic history.
