In my last posting, I mentioned the probability of prosecution Christians might face in MLY and now less than 2 days after my last posting, a few idiots threw homemade bombs into 3 different protestant churches in Klang valley! The reason? In protest of the MLY court allowed a Catholic publication to use the name Allah as Lord (in a Christian context). Some people seem to think they have the exclusive right to use the word and not any other religions. ??????? What can I say?????? The fact that they can't even differentiate a Catholic church and a Protestant church ... speechless.
Den and I started a new read-aloud book today - The Apple & the Arrow (under Sonlight K Read Aloud). 
It seems kind of fitting. It is about the legendary William Tell. William and 32 men decided they had enough of the BS from the bailiffs sent by the Austrian ruler and thus conspired to revolt on the New Year of 1291. But William was in trouble before that day came. He refused to kneel down to a ducal hat put up by the governor. His eldest son, Walter, and he were caught. True to his cruel nature, the governor put an apple on Walter's head and asked William to shoot it with his crossbow. William did and later, he managed to escape and killed the governor with his crossbow. His skill and his bravery inspired many to revolt on New Year's day. They won the battle and so began the little country of Switzerland.
