Well I have to give our over-seas division credit for trying, but sadly the Christians of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are too hard to incite to riot. On Tuesday the Tamil-language newspaper, Makkal Osai, mistakenly printed a picture of "The One Who Sits on the Right" smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer for a cover story they were running (story here). Christian groups were angered, but most seemed to accept an apology that the paper ran later explaining the mistake. Oddly enough it's the Hindu controlled Malaysian government who is up in arms, with officials calling for Makkal Osai to be shut down.
It's too bad Christians aren't as explosive as Muslims or the paper would be in flames by now. That whole call to forgive just keeps getting in the way. I fondly remember the Muhammad Cartoon riots of last year with the violence, the fires, and over one hundred people killed (see here). What a great vacation that was! Oh, well better luck next time, guys.
