Many of your readers like me who have found the stories on the Sky Kingdom unique and precious, must be concerned at the news of the arrests of 21 members of the community.

From your past reports of this unique community, the authorities were unsettled by wrongful land use under the National Land Code. I wonder how this will square with charges under the Syariah Criminal Offences Act?

I hope malaysiakini will continue to inform its readers of this community's struggle to maintain their beliefs under Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's Islam Hadhari.

For what it is worth, I think this is a kind of situation where the proposed Interfaith Commission could intervene in the interest of community peace under the so-called governance of civilisational Islam.
