Perkasa's justification of the massacre at the Charlie Hebdo office in Paris by attributing it the magazine's provocative content has drawn parallels to the right wing group's own provocation at home.

But thankfully for its chief, Ibrahim Ali, Malaysians have always reacted peacefully, said MCA religious harmony bureau chairperson Ti Lian Ker.

"Ibrahim provoked Christians and civilised Malaysians - including both Muslims and other non-Muslims - alike with his inflammatory call for Bahasa Malaysia-language bibles to be burnt.

"But did the provoked, civilised Malaysians embark on a shooting rampage? No," said Ti ( left ) in a statement today.

Instead, Ti remarked, people had lodged police reports to express their unhappiness, while others appealed for calm or urged Ibrahim to be freed of his "unbridled hatred".

Yesterday, Ibrahim said that the massacre - which saw 12 deaths - was “what happens” when people insulted Prophet Muhammad.

The Charlie Hebdo magazine had - in 2006 - reproduced a caricature of Prophet Muhammad which was deemed offensive by conservative Muslims, as the portrayal of prophets is considered blasphemous.

'No justification whatsoever'

Ti added that Ibrahim's vindication of violence and murder profanes a sacred religion of peace and compassion, which Perkasa claims to represent.

"There is no justification whatsoever in taking innocent lives on the slightest provocation, as in this case.

"The police should haul up Ibrahim for questioning, as he seems to be promoting violence and the slaughter of innocents," he stressed.

Ibrahim had - in January 2013 - urged Muslims to seize Malay-language bibles and burn them, citing fears that they may be used to proselytise Muslims.
