Understanding, tolerance and respect

Reported in the star today here

Abdullah said :

"I'm aware of religious issues that happen from time to time and we should solve these problems together with a very high level of understanding, tolerance and respect,"

Abdullah said he was very happy to be invited to the party, as he could see people of different religion, namely Buddhists, Hindus and Christians, getting together at the event.

"If we sit together and eat the same food, it symbolises the friendship, degree of tolerance and mutual respect," he added.

He also cited the similarities that Christian and Islam shared, adding that in the Quran, Jesus (Prophet Isa) was a servant of God.


Abdullah Badawi being a Muslim sees Jesus in the manner his faith teaches him to do. There is nothing wrong with that. But where the hell is the tolerance and understanding he preached?

To the Christians , he is so wrong to say that Jesus (Prophet Isa) was a servant of God. He uttered such insensitive remarks during the gathering of Christians.

Sitting together and eat the same food? Imagine sharing the pork with our fellow Muslim brothers or beef with our Hindu brothers?

I bet he just wanted to please everybody despite his stupidity.
