There are times to show compassion


I REFER to the report “Crazed man disrupts prayers at mosque” (The Star, Sept 19). The incident which occurred at the National Mosque during Friday prayers last week was captured on video and uploaded on the Internet.

When I saw the video, I initially felt a surge of anger and thought the person who slapped the imam was irrational, silly and should be punished.
