This intolerant person by the name of Elisa Thulasirani is spreading hatred between Christians and Muslims in Singapore by posting crap like this in her Facebook (refer to pictures). Some of the messages are pretty contradictory, wonder did she really read through the Quran and Hadith or simply cut paste from misleading websites.

It is ok to not expect all moderate Muslims to condone the actions of ISIS on their FB pages each time a bombing happens. Not to sound disrespectful, this topic of – “Muslims should speak up and condone ISIS terror attacks” became popular recently after the Paris bombing, which received intensive global media coverage due to the western territory it occurred on, and prevalent fear of large scale ISIS attacks on Europe and Asia in the near future.

I don't know how to 'own' a problem in which there is every possibility that I will be one of those executed. Why is it so hard to understand that these people are as remote to me as they are to you, that I have absolutely no access to nor influence over them, that I will be considered as much of an enemy to them as you are? Leave the other Muslims alone. We don't owe you any explanation or statement on something which we can even barely imagine or comprehend, much less condone or justify.

Shortly after the last general elections, I discussed voting decisions with some Muslims who voted for the PAP. Interestingly, these Muslims justified their vote for the party as though it would benefit Muslims. Basically, they argue that it is better to support the devil you know. And since this devil may perform better in other areas (such as economic development), then we should support them.

717 and possibly more Muslim pilgrims from around the world were killed in a stampede near the Muslim holy city of Mecca on Thursday. At least 863 others were seriously injured after 2 large groups of pilgrims arrived together at a crossroads in Mina, a few kilometres east of Mecca, on their way to the "stoning of the devil" at Jamarat.

I see this worrying news on a popular local forum! A local man is urge his friends on Facebook to reject the PAP because it is unislamic. The man claims that "to strengthen Islam, you need to weaken PAP" and we Singaporean Muslims cannot take a non-Muslim as our leaders.

Over the past 2 days, large groups of Christians dressed in white were spotted in the areas of Suntec City and Marine Parade. This symbolic act is part of a campaign by Christian pastor Lawrence Khong from Faith Community Baptist Church (FCBC), who called on his congregation and Love Singapore Network churches to don white for their services this weekend.

Malay households are overspending despite earning more, says the Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP). Their household debt is a cause for concern, even though it has not reached alarming levels, said Mr Azmoon Ahmad, chairman of the AMP yesterday.

What is the impact of Charlie Hebdo in Singapore? My own sense is that with the majority of the population, there was shock at the terrorist murders, but not much discussion. Among the Singapore Muslim population, there was a great deal of discussion in the mosques and on social media, which is still ongoing. Singapore Muslims are angry at the utter disrespect for the religion of others demonstrated in Charlie Hebdo and the double standards of the West. They are quite disturbed that another cartoon was published again of the Prophet which was just as unacceptable.

A teenage girl and 39-year old man who desecrated an Edinburgh mosque by attacking it with strips of bacon have both been jailed. Chelsea Lambie, 18, from Paisley, was sentenced to 12 months and Douglas Cruikshank, from Galashiels, to nine months. They attached bacon to door handles and threw strips inside Edinburgh’s Central Mosque on 31 January 2013.
