  • When one is caught with his pants down he will grab anything, even toilet paper or animal skin to cover up. This fanatical runt is no different. Nice to see him squirm in humiliation.

  • "Talk was for MUSLIMS ONLY". So the Muslims can be told all sorts of lies about the non-Muslims behind the safety of closed doors? Did the Prophet teach or direct Muslim preachers to do so? BALING BATU SEMBUNYI TANGAN, ya? Could the Minister in charge of Muslim religious matters please confirm what this preacher is saying about what is in the Koran: These are Quranic verses. I cant reject these words, or I will be perceived as kafir (non-believer), he said in a video uploaded on YouTube today."

  • There is a saying dont judge a book by its cover but looking at his picture in the article I wonder how much this self-proclaimed preacher knows. How adequately educated is he, even in the Islamic faith ? My opinion is ...not much. If words matter he is a clear and present danger towards racial and religious harmony in a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious Malaysia !

  • Could the defense of "Talk was for NON-MUSLIMS ONLY" be used if the shoe is on the other foot?
