Why Defacing the Al Kitab (Holy Bible) is Desecration

MALAYSIA - Some government officials have claimed that Christians are making an unnecessary fuss over the recent stamping of the Al Kitab (Holy Bible) seized in Port Klang and Kuching. After all, they say, the government also requires copies of the Quran to be chopped/stamped with a notice of government approval before they are sold in the shops. This article seeks to address the failure to understand the reason for rejecting the stamping of the Al Kitab. The terms of the debate need first be clearly defined to ensure accuracy in my analysis and coherence of my argument.  We should also keep in mind that Muslims display great reverence for their holy text, as is evident from the way they physically handle the printed Quran and how they protest (violently in some cases) when the Quran is reportedly mishandled or desecrated.
