One thing I know, no one touches each other's beliefs back home. At least not openly. But I didn't think about analyzing the situation as you did. I am sure you know the situation is very complex in Malaysia due to the pluraity of the races. There are a lot of hidden under currents swirling beneath the surface. I am sure you're aware of how this race is "tak puas hati" with the other and vice versa. Sadly, true harmony is not there and if one says there is, then he is not telling the truth. Go around enough and you will realize there is not much intermingling (in the friendship sense) between the races although in the cities things are much much different, and this is good. It is sad though that most interactions are merely at the surface level. Whatever the case, the good thing is we're at least very tolerant of each other. Thankfully, I have not read about any adverse or emotional reaction by the Muslims in Malaysia to this event. I'd hate to see what's happening in the CNN happening in Malaysia.

The image of mass rioting in your downtown area is even more odd. Nothing would be left of the little there is :) as salaam alaikum
