Since Obama's victory for president, many foreign countries especially non-caucasoid dominated ones have been cheering as if it has been waited for too long. Malaysia's Lim Kit Siang questioned a similiar outcome in Malaysia. No doubt, many Malay muslims will be provoked at even the dare of such question, however, it is definitely the kind of justice the so called "minorities" of Malaysia have been hoping for in their hearts.
I believe for the Americans, there have been countless battles of prejudice, racisms, etc. Great heroes can easily be named for evidence.
However, I would have to say it's rather early for Malaysia to head for such change, not to mention Muslim principles are held more seriously or extremely than Christians' in a general sense. However, recent news that challenges certain Muslim Fatwa regarding apostate matters in Malaysia may push the change.
