130个来自不同宗教、文化与意识形态的民间组织与反对党，今日发表联合声明谴责过去两天发生的纵火焚烧教堂行径，疾呼“马来西亚不会向暴力低头”！
约20名代表今日在隆雪华堂召开记者会发表这份联合声明，表达他们对3间遭凶徒企图纵火的教堂（第4间教堂纵火案今日才发生），以及国内基督社群的支持。
纵火暴力行径如同恐怖主义
他们表示，有关的煽动性暴力行径形同恐怖主义，是绝对不被允许的。
“不过这样的暴力行径不应被视为回教堂与基督社群之间的冲突，因为它同时羞辱了回教与基督教。”
“在我们享有言论自由的当儿，不应举办示威来恐吓持有不同意见的人士。”
他们说，这些暴力行为不仅打击大马一直以来提倡的和谐多元社会形象，更是对法治精神的攻击，因为司法制度必须无时无刻在不受威胁的情况下伸张正义。
利用宗教情绪达致政治利益
声明也谴责那些为了政治利益不惜利用种族宗教情绪的人士，并指当权者的双重标准是导致局势进一步恶化的原因之一。
“我们感到非常遗憾，他们在部分主流与非主流媒体的协助下，通过展示本身的不满来推动他们的议程，却掩饰了真正课题，即宪法所保障的言论权利与宗教自由。”
纳吉形象或与恐怖主义挂钩
另外，他们促请警方以高度专业精神追查行凶者，将凶徒绳之以法，否则纳吉政权的形象和‘一个马来西亚’的口号，将与暴力和恐怖主义挂钩。
反对以内安法令扣留嫌犯
不过，他们反对当局以允许无审讯扣留的内安法令对付凶徒，“嫌犯必须被空上公开法庭，以否决他们野蛮的行为”。
此外，声明呼吁持有不同意见的各造通过理性对话来达致共识。
“在一个民主社会里，没有什么课题是敏感至无法理性讨论的，暴力威胁不应扼杀民主辩论。”
