Who's the "Taliban" now?

This post relates to the one before, called "Buddha is welcome in Kelantan". I'm not trying to plug PAS here but the truth is, the state government has been very gracious and generous about giving land to the Chinese and Indian community to build their places of worship.

(Of course there are lots of restrictions that the state government imposes on the people of Kelantan but that's another story altogether...)

In Selangor for example, many churches and temples (both Buddhist and Hindu) have resorted to building their places of worship illegally because the state government takes years (in the case of the Methodist church in Shah Alam, it applied in 1989 for a piece of land and got approval last year after over 15 years of to-ing and fro-ing) to approve the construction of these buildings, even when it's on private land.
