What if the President did this in Malaysia?

In Cairo, Egypt, Barrack Obama delivered a speech at Cairo University.

‘The speech, in which he quoted verses from the Quran, received thunderous applause and even some shouts of “I love you” from the floor.‘

(Quote: Star)

Meanwhile, in Bukit Gantang, Malaysia, Perak DAP secretary Nga Kor Ming recited a verse from the Qur’an at a ceramah (public talk).

‘At least four non-governmental organisations lodged police reports against Nga yesterday for allegedly debasing Islam by using the Quranic verse at the political ceramah on Saturday (4 April).’

Spot the differences here:

One quoted the Quran and received thunderous applause, and even some shouts of ‘I love you’.

The other quoted the Quran and received at least four police report lodged against him.

Both are politicians. One an Amercian politician, the other, a Malaysian politician.

Let’s switch things a bit:

Put the American politician in Malaysia, doing the same (quoting from the Quran). Would this American politician receive police reports lodged against him?

I am scratching my head….

Anyway, here’s another quote from the American politician, for the Malaysians to ponder… “I like to go to the source of the problem, not around it,”

(peng’s note: this post is not about the religion mentioned here, but about how different people of the same faith respond to the same situation.. I hope my point is noted..)
