Officials: Church Set on Fire in Malaysia
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: January 7, 2010Filed at 3:07 p.m. ET
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Unidentified attackers set fire to a church in Malaysia early Friday amid a growing conflict in the country over the use of the word ”Allah” by non-Muslims, officials said.
Only the first floor office of the Metro Tabernacle Church was destroyed in the blaze that started a little after midnight Thursday, said church spokesman Kevin Ang. The worship areas on the upper two floors were undamaged, and there were no injuries.
The church is located in a three-story building on a shopping street in Desa Melawati, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, the main city of this Muslim-majority country.

Fellow Malaysians do give a pat on your back as the country we loved that serves awesome Nasi Lemak, Wonderful Roti Canai & Kick Ass Bak Kut Teh made into the international news all over the world. We are famous once again at just the first month of the decade.

Anuar Harun, who headed the fire department operation, said that forensic experts were working with the police and a canine unit to probe the blaze.“We are investigating the cause of fire. We cannot provide any more details. It is a sensitive issue,” he said when asked if it was a case of arson.
“We have asked all our fire stations to be on alert for such fires on religious premises,” he said.
Why am i not surprise if later on local mainstream news report that its some random youths who have nothing better to do was playing with fire and COINCIDENTALLY they were near Metro Tabernacle Church and IT JUST HAPPENED like that ACCIDENTALLY.
Its possible you know, why?
Because of the fact that 2 low rank person is capable of stealing jet engines out of a military base and managed to send it out of the country and seal a deal selling it successfully. Yah 2 person, doing all the documentations themselves finding seller in the black market and have their own unique ways of shifting the jet engines overseas.
Bravo man, bravo.

I grew up in the years where Wawasan 2020 was widely preached until this very year that 1Malaysia’s term being used in any possible matters. I don’t care what Najib thinks differently as Mahathir, but supporting protest that was rumored to be happening today isn’t really 1Malaysia-ing.
As much as i believe that Islam teaches good things and brings out the good in Muslims, i’m utterly disappointed with some narrow minded people. You can kiss the Keris all you wan and bring out the Cow Heads man, be my guest.
Kudos to you being stubborn as ever living in your own world, good job on tarnishing the religion of Islam as well as Malaysia’s reputation.
Oh well, does Malaysia even have one?
Know what?
Najib and those Keris kissing people, i still love you, because Christianity preaches about love.
To the Christians in Malaysia, please just PRAY and do nothing else alright? May13 should not repeat itself anyhow anyway anytime in the future.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Matthew 6:9-13
God Bless Malaysia.

Justice Lau is also a christian and if you know which church she attends, you’ll know y.
I do hope no more churches will be attacked. This is quite alarming and barbaric.

We as Christians should think less of it, and carry on with our daily lives. If we keep pondering on it, then they would have won. The destructive powers would have won. Just move along and we’ll be all right. Let the justice department (here on earth and in heaven) take its course.

Hi,
I’m a Malay and a Muslim. I never object the court decision about the use of ‘Allah’ word.
About the blaze at the churches, whoever the culprit is they must be punish. But please guys, don’t make any assumption on who they truly are, because we don’t know yet.. do we?

I’m a Malay Muslim. Though I deeply abhor this thing which have happened, it did and I sincerely like to ask for forgiveness on behalf of others Muslims. I think this is a matter of miscommunication. What they(the Muslims) don’t get is the point of using Allah in the publication of Herald. Why do the Herald want it so much that the unity we have for so long are forsaken? Is it worth it?

Its just alphabets at the end of the day actually, if people love their God/Allah and they know their God/Allah, all these won’t happen. Muslims won’t be confuse so easily in my opinion esp Msians muslim because Malaysia is in fact a more developed and civilized country in the region.
Its those extremist who have gone beyond the true teachings of a religion out there who need serious help.
In general, all religion teaches good and spread noble values. =)
