| Sikh temple hit with stones |
| 2010-01-13 |
| VANDALS threw stones at a Sikh temple, adding to religious tensions over a string of attacks on churches in this Muslim-majority country, police said on Wednesday. Some 20 small stones were thrown into the compound of a gurdwara, or Sikh temple, late on Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur's Sentul neighborhood, district police chief Zakaria Pagan told The Associated Press. He said only a mirror in the front portion of the temple, which is more than 100 years old, was damaged and there were no injuries. Stones also were thrown at a telecom building next door. A temple volunteer and office building security guard were alerted when the stones hit the buildings, but didn't see any suspects, he said. Mr Pagan said police believe the incident was 'mischief', and unrelated to attacks on nine churches since last Friday. Temple chief Gurdial Singh said he was surprised by the attack but not concerned, describing it as an isolated incident by 'someone taking advantage of the situation.' The church attacks came after Malaysia's High Court on Dec 31 lifted a government ban on non-Muslims using 'Allah' as a translation for 'God'. |

| #2 Given enough stones breaking bones, sticks can be skipped. Them Vandals pop and hop all over place and time. |

| #1 What, no sticks? And how did the VANDALS get to Malaysia? Moving on from Rome? |
