Some people often labels western or white people as Christian or Jewish. I think we all need to be educated, that one's Colors or Country does not determine his/her faith. We should also consider that there is still pagans and atheist, or people who claims themselves a freeman.
We often label people by his/her country such as, "Filipino", "Malaysian", "Indonesian". But we forgot to think that, in every Country, there is diverse of ethnics and faith. For example, in Philippines there is Cebuano, Ilocano, Pangasinense, Kapampangan, Tagalog, Bicolano, Waray, Surigaonon and Hiligaynon also called Ilonggo, Bisayan, Moros and many more, while in Indonesia there is Jawa, Balinese, Timorese, Ambon, Bugis, Torajan and many more.
Meanwhile, in our Country, the largest ethnics are Malays, Chinese and Indians. Not to forget the Orang Asli (The natives), the Kadazan, Dusun and Murut in Sabah, and Iban, Dayak, Kenyah, Kayan, and many more in Sarawak. The Malays origin are mostly from Indonesian, Chinese from China and Indians from India. So we could say that our largest ethnic in Malaysia origin are once a stranger in our country. So we must remember the history and accept the fact, Instead of taking granted. While Hinduism and Pagans is the first religion in our country including Indonesia.

I'm not trying to sparks the hatreds but I hope that we can be more educated, tolerance and reasonable. Quick to listen and slow to speaks. Peace. :)
VIDEO: After School Tells This Student Not To Mention God During Speech He Gives Them Unpleasant Surprise

Brooks Hamby, a salutatorian slated to give a speech at his high school graduation, was given unpleasant news when he prepared for the big day. School officials requested that he keep his Christian faith to himself; even one mention of it was grounds for serious trouble.
However, this scholastic achiever had other ideas. Instead of following the conditions given by the officials, he shocked them all with a new final draft previously unseen by anyone in the administration. As he gave his speech, he informed the entire graduating class of what the school officials had done to censor his religion. Hamby mentioned that three separate drafts of his speech were submitted to the administration; all were denied because they included acknowledgement of his Christianity.
Hamby proceeded by letting the student body know that they were going to be told to do things against their conscience in their lifetime, things that would crush their wish to do what they believe is right. As the crowd of people began to murmur in surprise, Hamby gave his opinion and advice, stating that no man or woman could truly succeed without living for what he or she thinks is morally good. According to this salutatorian, living for others is no good, and he made sure that the crowd knew he was fighting against the school officials’ demand that he remove his faith from the topic. He finished with a Bible verse and became nationally famous for standing against the censorship of his high school.
