TAIPING: The opposition pact has to make a clear stand on the “Allah” issue following a ruling by the PAS Syura Council that the kalimah is not to be used by non-Muslims, a group claiming to be PAS members and supporters from the Aulong branch here demanded.
The group also took DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng to task over his call in a Christmas message last December for the Federal Government to allow the word “Allah” to be used in the Malay version of the Bible.
At the same time, they also want the Syura Council to explain what is the hukum (law bound by religion) if PAS helps DAP and PKR in the general election.
“Would the (PAS) members be considered kufur? (going against Allah’s will)?” asked group spokesman Ramli Sudin.
The group of 15, who claimed they represented over 100 members from the Aulong PAS branch, protested outside the Taiping Zoo and Night Safari to demand a clear explanation from all three parties in the opposition pact on the “Allah” issue.
They held banners that criticised Lim, DAP national chairman Karpal Singh and PKR advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“We are confused because the parties do not agree with one another on the issue,” said Ramli.
“Other than a clear explanation, we also demand that Lim apologises to Muslims around the world for bringing up the issue and offending us,” Ramli added.
Ramli said the group was disappointed that Lim, Karpal and Anwar had stubbornly refused to accept the Syura Council’s decision on the matter, urging PAS leaders to be firm in handling the matter.
“As members who had helped the party in the previous general election, we want the council to explain what the hukum is if the party helps DAP and PKR in the upcoming polls.”
