Muslim NGO’S Along With Non Religious Multi Ethnic Organizations Stand
Ready To Offer Support, Assistance (Protection), And Compassion
To Their Christian Brothers And Sisters


AsSalamuAlaikum,

In our desire to avert further misunderstanding among Christians and Muslims; PPIM, MACMA, BATAS, PEWARIS, Perkasa, IIS, RELA in unity with other non religious organizations are taking a proactive stance by offering an olive branch symbolizing peace to our brothers and sisters with whom we share a common religious heritage.

As Muslims we often quote: I want for my brother what I want for myself.

Christians similarly have a verse of scripture which reads: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.

The recent acts perpetuated against church property are neither brotherly nor neighborly. They are cowardly. As only cowards throw stones of mischief and then hide their hands.

We stand united with all peace loving people in strongly repudiating this wonton destruction of church property.

It is from history we learn that even during times of war, Muslims respected the places of worship of those whom they were in conflict.

These are not times of war, only of disagreement. Therefore, we must all show even more vigilance in respecting houses of worship even as we peacefully work out our disagreement.

While undergoing this process of peaceful resolution; we are well aware that there may be those who would try to undermine the stability of our nation, by manipulating the present situation.

However, we call for wisdom to prevail.

Wisdom to know that peace breakers would like to see a church torched today and a masjid tomorrow.

We must thus exercise wisdom in our actions and in our usage of words. Because it is our misusage of words which can easily serve to sow the seeds of discord and bitterness among friends, brothers and neighbors.

Therefore, let us instead foster a spirit of fellowship, because as Fellows on this Great Ship ‘Malaysia’ we will either sail smoothly or sink as one.

Realizing this; it is to our collective benefit to keep her (Malaysia) safe from all who would overtly or covertly attempt to bring about her sinking.

Today, to help navigate our fellowship through these turbulent waters; we already have more than sixty (60) volunteers and organizations like RELA prepared to assist our Christian brothers and sisters. In addition, we are inviting our Christian Leadership friends to sit together with us to discuss ways we can collectively circumvent divisive issues so that all Malaysians can continue to live in peace and harmony. Thank you and As-Salaam Alaikum
