'Take into account sensitivities of Muslims'

While intentions may have been good, Umno Youth exco member and Islamic scholar Fathul Bari Mat Jahya said that the organisers of the “I Want To Touch A Dog” event should have respected the sensitivities of Muslims in the country.

He said although Islam was a religion that promoted discussions and respected differences, he advised the organisers of the event to be more careful in the future and to ensure conventional sensitivities were adhered to.
