Section 23 cow protest and New Zealand prison system

I read 3 news everyday, stuff.co.nz, thestar and berita harian. A news about short film festival fron stuff.co.nz and few google search, somehow leads me to this article Few Muslim inmates but jails buy only halal meat on NZHerald. The main highlight is; NZ prison system provide halal certified meat to all 8500 prisoners in NZ, despite only 82 are Muslims. I’m so impress with their efforts to tolerate and consider the less than 0.01% muslim prisoner population. Another column in NZHerald, however, shows the cow head protest in by Muslim majority Section 23 shah alam residents. Then, I googled this subject and found some youtube clips.

Maybe I have least knowledge about political situation in Selangor, but I really didn’t get it. Why a Hindu temple in Muslim majority is a big problem? I’m sure there got to be another underlying reasons for this accident, but I jsut can’t figure out why.

And 2nd video definitely shows a destructive dialogue session. I think more than 50% of the dialogue content consists of swearing and pathetic cries. What is wrong with you people????!! Why bother having a dialogue session in the first place?? Just to piss off people and do more damage to an already intense situation??

See the ironic here? In New Zealand (minority Muslims), they provide halal meat even to prisons. But in Malaysia (majority Muslims), some of Muslims can’t even tolerate for Hindu temple construction premise and even worse make a totally pathetic protest with cow head. I didn’t see this as religious issue but it is indeed majoriy-vs-minority issue. It’s a shame to see those residents in Section 23 Shah Alam, being majority Muslims, lunatically cried like a bunch of idiots.

I’ve tried to do some research on this. Just curious to know why they’re so angry and QQ like mad dogs in a dialogue session. But most of the vid comments are just totally craps. Some people said education can prevent such accidents. But, I said some people are just being bad because a 7 yo kiddo can behave better than those people.

On a side note, this reminds me about a lecture given by Peter Green during Islam Awareness Week few years back. He mentioned that sometimes it is easier to find Islamic values in non-Islamic communities. I have to agree with him.
