KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 — Umno senior leader Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed chided PAS for using Islam as a front to cover the party’s real “ugly” features.
In a Facebook post today, he said that PAS has continued to manipulate their voters by reciting verses in the Quran to further indoctrinate and influence their voters.
“They will quote the Quran and hadith to claim that anyone who votes for that party will be rewarded. They will use religious arguments to persuade the supporters to stay with PAS and hate other parties.
“This is not a new thing but PAS always renews the way they ride on religion based on the current political developments that are profitable for their greed,” he said.
He further said that the Islamist party president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang has repeatedly labeled the current federal administration as “unholy” and dominated by the non-Malays.
“Enough is enough for Hadi that is always putting up a play and constantly changing the party’s Islamic ‘cosmetic’.
“You are the real one who is a pest and a threat to national unity. You use fatwas for political interests and ride on religion for the sake of rank and position,” he added.
Yesterday, Hadi had assured the non-Muslims, especially in Penang, that they would not be marginalised if PAS was given the mandate to rule.
He said, non-Muslims do not need to be afraid because Islam is peaceful by nature and PAS will surely rule fairly for all.
This came a few weeks after Hadi’s serial rant on Facebook about how non-Malay Muslims are second class citizens and make up a majority of grafters.
