So the Al-Islam magazine and their two reporters have finally apologized to the catholics and the christian community for desecrating the holy communion rituals. It doesn't hurt, does it? but it goes a long way to mend the fences and restore the relationship. We all accept that to err is human and sometimes a simple apology is all it takes to soften the heart of the offended. And we Christians have been taught by our great Teacher to forgive . Half of our present day trouble would have been solved if only people learn how to say sorry and apologise.
However is this going to be a sign of better understanding and tolerance for the future? I really dont think so. The concept of ketuanan and the DNA of arrogance are hard to get rid of. The formation of Perkasa and its ideology is another negative factor. And with the ridiculous excuses given by the AG for not charging the offenders, he has practically made it an open season for others to do the same. Think cow-head and church burning. Are the culprits still walking about freely? Instead of enforcing the law, the AG has shamefully abused his power to make arbitrary decision not to charge and prosecute. Now if I commit a crime, do I rely on the law to take its course or on the whims and fancy of the AG?
