Call to shut down Malaysia Today

Some agree with MCMC. In his posting Malaysia Today deserves to be shut down!, Ashraf Abdullah writes :

… Raja Petra Kamarudin has committed blasphemy, a crime no Muslim can tolerate. The site should be shut down for good and Raja Petra should be charged under Syariah laws … in Iran, he would be sentenced to death.

If Ashraf has support, that support is inaudible. Khairy Jamaluddin, in his posting In defense of those who despise me, condemns the MCMC’s move even though he has no kind words for RPK or Malaysia Today.

… In his incessant desire to concoct sensationalism, (RPK) often peddles half-truths and occasionally, outright lies. The inability to judiciously moderate comments also results in racially and religiously offensive remarks being posted without any restriction by the web master.Nevertheless, none of these should justify an attempt at outright censorship.

Uncle Yap, a blogger from across the Second Link, makes his stand clear in Singaporeans to help fight Malaysian Blog Ban here.
