Minister of
Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Abdul Rahman Dahlan said, Perkasa
chief Ibrahim Ali's urging to burn Bibles containing the word "Allah" cannot be
compared with the present case against the sex bloggers Alvin Tan dan Vivian
Lee for insulting Muslims.
He said,
Ibrahim had already explained his urging was merely to correct the error
of printing in the said Bibles, and burning was the proper thing to do just
as Muslims burn copies of the Quran that have misprints. However, the acts of
the couple, dubbed Alvivi were aimed at attacking another religion, which could
threaten interfaith harmony.
"What
Ibrahim Ali said was normal, but various portals twisted the statement saying
it was an urging to burn the Bible. That is incorrect," he said.
"This
pair put forth more that goes against the people of Malaysia. What I worry
about is that if we do not take specific action, it would involve friction
among religions," he added, noting that Alvivi were also infamous in
Singapore.
