Another provocative banner found, this time outside Penang Island church

Another ‘Allah’ banner, believed to be identical to that found this morning at a Catholic Church in Butterworth this morning, was discovered outside the Victory Lutheran Church in Penang Island, fuelling suspicion that the planting of these banners is the work of a ‘dirty tricks’ group up to no good.

Victory Lutheran Church, Penang

Blog visitor Boo Soon Yew alerted me to this:

The same type of banner with the exact wordings was outside the Lutheran Church at Island Glades also, at around 6.30am … but you can obviously see if would NOT have been put up by the church people as it was hanging haphazardly across the hedge at the fencing.

I contacted the Victory Church over the phone and the pastor, Rev Albert Vijay Joseph, confirmed the discovery of the banner outside the church, located along Lorong Delima in Island Glades in Penang Island.

He said the wording on the banner read: “Allah is Great, Jesus Christ is the son of Allah.” That would make it almost identical to the wording found on the banner at the Catholic Church of the Nativity in Butterworth on mainland Penang.

The Victory Church will be lodging a report soon, I understand.

As mentioned in my earlier post, the way I see it, this strikes me as the underhand work of a person/group out to stoke Muslim anger against Christians.

But Malaysians are much wiser now and can see through such crude attempts at stirring the pot.
