For the first time ever, PAS defies its own Islamic 'principles' by celebrating Christmas. At a glance, its a good move towards religious reconciliation but from overall perspective, the party was playing a deceitful game, all for politics.
The head of the Islamist party’s national unity bureau said his religion has always taught its followers to cherish diversity and respect others.
What a farce! Call it 'the joke of the year', if you may. But knowing PAS, they will do anything for the sake of political survival, even to the extent of disengaging some of the 'hardline and extreme' philosophies it had advocated to.
It came from a party that tried 'to kill' his Muslim brothers in Umno, a party that all the while divides the Muslim into two categories - Muslims in Barisan National and Muslims in PAS.
Who was responsible for issuing a fatwa that 'all PAS members fighting for PAS will automatically go to heaven.Who introduced 'sembahyang dua imam', and that a chicken or a cow slaughtered by Umno members is 'haram to eat?
Who goes around telling the rakyat that Umno was never Islam, that all of them will go to hell! But what is your kind of Islam?
And now you talk extremism...!
As the 'Allah' controversy continues to smoulder and cast a pall over Christmas, PAS lawmaker Mujahid Yusof Rawa reached out to Christians, expressing his solidarity in the fight against religious extremism, racism and injustice.
What a farce! Call it 'the joke of the year', if you may. But knowing PAS, they will do anything for the sake of political survival, even to the extent of disengaging some of the 'hardline and extreme' philosophies it had advocated to.
“I stand today as a fellow Malaysian in your Christmas celebration to call you to fight with me against injustice, racism and religious extremism and to say with a clear voice WE LOVE THIS NATION AND WE WILL NOT SURRENDER TO THOSE WHO WANT TO DESTROY IT IN THE NAME OF EXTREMISM AND TYRANNY,” Muhajid said in a statement advocating peace.I almost choked myself to death. I couldn't help but laughed aloud reading this statement, a flat joke similar to that of Mr Bean and Benny Hills.
He added that that all of Islam’s prophets, including Isa Ibnu Maryam — as Jesus the son of Mary is known to Christians— and the Quran also stress on neighbourly love, including to those of other faiths.
“As a Muslim I was taught by my Prophets including Isa Ibnu Maryam (peace be upon all of them) to cherish [sic] diversity and live with respect to others. I was told by my Book (Al Quran) that it is vital I live strongly with my faith but at the same time accept diversity and live with respect strongly.
The second-term federal Parit Buntar MP said the pursuit to build bridges joining the peoples of different religions is a sacred duty, as it is in accordance with the teachings of Islam.
“It is within this context that my conviction of a peaceful interfaith relationship has turned into a sacred struggle where the soldiers of peace and bridge builders come together not to draw their sword to ‘others’ but to convey the message of PEACE OR SALAM with full of COMPASSION and LOVE but with DIGNITY and PRIDE,” Mujahid said.
