Insensitive Gahmen for real

President SR Nathan attends Deepa Raya celebrations
Amazing that gahmen organise this kind of celebrations without any sensitivity to religious differences. Even worse that our own indian president condones it with his presence. -
i don't think is showed any insensitivity. In contrast, a joined celebration of religions means good integration and appreciation of each others' religions.

The only thing feeling sensitized is somebodys bigotry bone being tickled.
Long live Mr. Nathan and the First Lady. How do I invite them to my birthday celebration instead? -
It shows no understanding about the different religious occasions. You can't lump 2 different religious festivals and then celebrate them as if it is one and the same.Originally posted by pearlie27:i don't think is showed any insensitivity.

This blatantly suggest a lack of respect for other religions. In Malaysia, a similar idea was thrown around on integration celebrations. This is largely frowned upon, notwithstanding the perspective of a Muslim country. -
"religious sensitivities" is a politically correct (read it as hypocritic) excuse for the truly bigoted to pursue their own innately bigoted agenda...
what's yours? -

This kind of sentiments is the fundamental cause of worldwide religious conflicts and unrests. Compassion, kindness, harmony and peace are what most religions are teaching. If a joint religious celebration can bring about that peace and harmony, why disrupt it with such pedantic and myopic observation of the religions' rituals?Originally posted by pwnz0r:It shows no understanding about the different religious occasions.

If the Hindus and Muslims involved in that celebration are tolerant and loving enough to accept it, why upset that harmony?
Do we really want to regress to the state our Northern neighbours are in? -
the people celebrating never kao peh u complain simi sai?

did you attend the joint celebration to know that it was lumping 2 different religious festivals as one and the same?Originally posted by pwnz0r:It shows no understanding about the different religious occasions.

in Malaysia, PM Abdullah was reported to have said that joint celebrations were good for national unity in multicultural country.
"Having joint celebrations does not mean the Muslims or Hindus have to mix their religion. Everyone has their own belief and faith and it does not in any way pollute one's religion," Abdullah said. -

Any 'sanctimonious' religious identity need not be dragged along when DeepaRaya is merely a social event dedicated as a tribute and awareness of our festivals coinciding near. Besides, YOU DON'T WANT FREE FOOD? PRATA! MURUKKU! BANDUNG! PINEAPPLE TARTS THATS SHAPED LIKE NIPPLES!

Rather, where its frowned upon suggests theres a whole lot of insecurity in faith. Its not a majority opinion up north anyway where many Muslim leaders had since voiced their disagreements, not to mention the Prime Minister himself, like the post above mentioned.
That fly to spoil the pot of soup. Mood spoiler.
Happy DeepaRaya.
Has my faith changed saying that? Bah.
