What about Allah sandals? Not insulting? Why no such amok reactions like the KK Mart Made-China Allah-brand socks?
Made-in-China Allah-brand socks: What about China and the Customs officer who let in the socks?
KUALA LUMPUR, March 26, 2024: Yes! The racist and religious bigoted Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh and his party are just bullies who care a damn about national unity and harmony.
In behaving so, they also destroy Malaysia’s image as a premier investment country.
Akmal and Umno have succeeded in bullying the Chinese-owned KK Mart until its owners are charged in court.
But they lost their “balls” when it comes to China.
Why are they not going after China for a public apology for manufacturing the socks, and also the Customs di-Raja Malaysia for allowing the “insulting-Muslim socks” into the country?
Clearly a case of selective persecution and prosecution against KK Mart.
Clearly to all sane Malaysians, ther bigoted Akmal and Umno are just stirring up the Made-in-China Allah-brand socks issue just for political mileage.

‘Bully’ Akmal won’t dare go after China, says academic

PETALING JAYA: An academic says Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh will not go to the extent of pursuing an apology from China regarding the “Allah” socks issue despite calling for a boycott of convenience chain store KK Mart over the matter.
Speaking to FMT, Tajuddin Rasdi of UCSI University said Akmal was unlikely to summon the Chinese ambassador following a challenge by Tuaran MP Wilfred Madius Tangau for him to demand an apology from China for allowing the manufacturer to produce the socks.
“A bully will always pick on a smaller person,” Tajuddin said.
“He may continue to dwell on the issue because he doesn’t care about the future consequences or the welfare of (KK Mart’s) workers.
“That’s no longer just being a bully; that’s being an opportunist.”
In a statement yesterday, Tangau said Akmal should press foreign minister and Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan to summon China’s ambassador for an explanation if Malaysia does not get a satisfactory answer.
He also said that Akmal’s response was akin to “grasping at straws” in an attempt to win support and popularity for himself and the party as a whole.
“This is simply an exercise in sacrificing 5,000 jobs to be noticed and for Umno to be popular with the Malays once again,” he said.
Meanwhile, former Sungai Benut MP Tawfik Ismail said Akmal’s hypothetical summoning of the ambassador would tarnish Malaysia’s reputation.
“It would make us look ridiculous. The whole thing would make us look rather shallow and narrow-minded,” he said.
He said Tangau’s comments merely highlighted a potential situation where the youth leader would demand explanations from all parties involved in the sale of the socks, from the manufacturer to the salesman.
“What he’s trying to say is, ‘What would happen if Akmal goes after everybody along the supply chain, all the way up to the factory in China?’,” he said.
The former MP added that if such action were to be taken against all parties involved, it would affect mainly Malay Muslims.
“Don’t forget that when the socks were produced and brought into Malaysia, they had to go through customs. Why doesn’t he go for the customs officer that allowed the socks to come through?” he said.
“After all, those customs officers are Malay Muslims. Are you going to blame them as well for what happened?”

Made-in-China Allah-brand socks insulting Islam? What about Allah sandals?

And this was in Johore, sandals with the Allah word and no fuss about it.
It seems only they could say anything about their Allah. Non Muslims must have no say. After all, I respect all religions as my belief is there is only one True GOD - our CREATOR !
Prayers of worships and offerings may differ from race to race, religion to religion only!
I truly do not believe there are different Thien Kong , Allah, Samy , or Tuhan or GOD the Almighty or whatever names we named HIM differ from different race or creed !
No News Is Bad News is refraining from further comments. We let the images do the talking.

As long as the word is not at the sole of feet, there is no disrespect.
So it takes wisdom to understand what is respect and disrespect.

KUALA LUMPUR: Religious affairs minister Na’im Mokhtar has urged the public to refrain from making derogatory remarks about religion on social media, as this would create hostilities in Malaysian society.
He said it is important for every member of the nation’s multicultural and multi-religious society to actively work towards fostering unity. They should leverage social media for this purpose.
“In the context of the Quran and Islam, it’s expressly forbidden for Muslims to insult others or their religions,” he told the media after officiating a Ramadan event of the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council.
Na’im also urged the public to prioritise national security and prevent actions that may strain ties or incite anger among the different religious communities.
