The letter from the NCCS
The NCCS further wrote that they consider the band’s “sacrilegious attacks” on Christianity through their songs to be “particularly disruptive and hurtful to the cause of religious harmony.” On the side of the country’s Catholics, William Goh, the Archbishop of Singapore wrote a pastoral letter that.” Though he did not mention the Swiss band by name, the context of the pastoral letter was unmistakable, since the Archbishop mentioned government leaders who possess the “courage and moral integrity” in ensuring that arts promoted in Singapore do not “degrade into something banal, destructive and divisive”.
At least one more Christian leader has also publicly lauded and thanked the MHA for canceling WATAIN’s concert. He narrated that Christian leaders have told him he is “very, very strict when it comes to anti-Muslim, anti-Islamic messages.” He has even banned noted writer’s book The Satanic Verses, though it has been lauded in literary circle.
