IN-CLASS ONLINE LESSON #10 (Term 3 LA ACE)

http://www.voanews.com/english/news/asia/Muslim-Mob-Burns-Churches-in-Indonesia-115556249.html
This article is about the Muslims burning down a Christian Church in response to what seemed to them as an offensive flyer that was distributed by a man.

The gunman, Anders Behring Brievik was against Muslims being in Norway and Europe, on the basis that the Muslims were destroying the culture of Europe.


Narrative:
"Malaysia is for Malays!" the angry mob chanted as marched forward. The remaining Chinese scuttled away for safety as angry Malays begin attacking any Chinese or one who looked like a Chinese. Chek Siong was caught unaware and was now running for his life. He had no time to rest even though he was exhausted from being chased and had a wound in his leg after being hurt by a glass shard. His car had been set on fire and his only means of escape was through feet. He was terrified and never thought that the situation would escalate to such a serious problem in such a short time.

The death toll is been increasing and is currently more than 50. In Chek Siong's mind, all was lost. He did not even get a chance to say goodbye to his loved ones. He never expected that the Malays were such savages who were prejudiced against Chinese just because they tend to do better than the Malays. Chek Siong sobbed to himself. There was certainly no escape now, as he looked all around him. The mob was approaching toward him. Just then, someone tapped his shoulder, it was Ahmad, his best friend during the kampong days! "Hey brother, no use crying, come with me!" he took Chek Siong's limp hand and ran.
