Next week Al Jazeera will publish the security precautions around the site. Then some Muslim fanatic will bomb it.

Indian Hindus, who make up about 7% of Malaysia's 26 million people, regard Lord Muruga as a manifestation of valour, beauty, youthfulness, vitality, masculinity and happiness.

And...

Devotees pierce the skin on their backs and chests with scores of hooks, or drive skewers through their cheeks and tongues before climbing to the temple.

Anyone else see a contradiction here?

I hope it doesn't offend Muslims.

Not really. It's something out of what is probably the oldest continually active religion on this planet. That's worth some respect, I think.

Kind of reminds me of Goldar from that old Japanese TV show.

And, to think, some people find a crucifix hanging around someone's neck or, heaven forbid, a wooden or plastic nativity scene to be "too much" of a religious statement.

It's strange. In my own country, a country that was founded on the Judeo-Chrisitan work ethic/values, I often times feel like a foreigner. I guess if I were Hindu and my country proudly allowed and/or advocated a display like this, I would be very proud.

If you are going to insult other religions, at least be more creative.

An estimated 100,000 ethnic Indian Hindus watched as a helicopter showered flowers over the gold-painted, 42.7-metre statue late on Sunday at the foot of a hill outcrop that houses the Batu Caves, just outside Kuala Lumpur.

That's funny. I thought they'd be more likely to erect something like this in the lobby of Microsoft's corporate offices in Redmond, WA.
