Don\u2019t follow blindly  the Jews because their struggle is based on Jewish teachings, which is  the struggle to secure the race.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Struggle based on race is not acceptable to Allah and is barred by  Nabi Muhamad SAW,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that PAS had adhered to the guidelines listed in the Quran  and had maintained its principles and practices in the 20 years it has  administrated Kelantan.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the unprecedented PAS victories in the 1990 and 2008  general elections, he said the party had the support of all races,  proving that Islam was acceptable to all, even segments of Umno members.<\/p>\n<p>Nik Aziz said: &#8220;Islam teachers us to accept\u00a0 and use verses in the  Quran as guidelines in our lives. We cannot chose to use some verses and  ignore the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Islam is a way of life and this means it covers every aspect of human  life.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is based on this principal that PAS ruled Kelantan with the  support of the other races for 20 years,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Kelantan was proof that Islamic policies were acceptable to a  majority of Malaysians with diverse political ideology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In fact there are many Umno members who support PAS ideology,&#8221; he  said<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>No talks  with Umno<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>On Umno attempts to rekindle unity  talks with PAS, Nik Aziz said: &#8220;PAS is not open to any discussions with  Umno.
