You don't see it because the local media have been asked to "behave". The issue is however flourishing in the blogs. Please see these, all of whom are Malaysian Muslims:<BR/>http://harismibrahim.wordpress.com/<BR/>http://rantingsbymm.blogspot.com/<BR/>http://legitexpect.wordpress.com/<BR/>http://www.othermalaysia.org/<BR/>http://malikimtiaz.blogspot.com/<BR/>http://www.malaysia-today.net/<BR/>The Al Jazeera programme you referred to is available in You Tube.<BR/>It helps that you make noise as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-8610210411566000972007-06-06T15:17:00.000+08:002007-06-06T15:17:00.000+08:00I, too, wish there was more I could do.

Anyone who believes that his or her way of doing things is the only "right" one is cast in the same mold as the officials who drafted those crazy laws.<BR/><BR/>May Allah, Krishna and Shiva all be with this poor woman!

I am reminded of the quote attributed to Paster Neumoller, about there not being anyone left to protest when it was his turn to be thrown into prison.<BR/><BR/>Or John Donne: "Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee."<BR/>When everyone wakes up to what has happened, it will be too late. If anyone deviates from the party line, off they go to "rehabilitation". And they define the crime, not us. We don't even quite know what the crime is.Glenda Larkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113271268122909969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22066416.post-35342065014344296342007-06-06T11:07:00.000+08:002007-06-06T11:07:00.000+08:00This sort of thing is only whispered.
