<\/a>GEORGE TOWN: PAS has appealed to Muslims not to be entrapped by the attempts of extremist groups to create a climate of fear in Penang.<\/p>\nIts vice-president Mahfuz Omar said Muslims should instead use the holy month of Ramadan to demonstrate the true virtues of Islam and its righteous teachings to non-Muslims.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey should reject any attempts to sow fear through extremist measures advocated by certain groups such as vandalising places or making racist remarks,\u201d said Mahfuz.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is the responsibility of all Muslims to demonstrate our faith. It\u2019s does not help when you antagonise non-Muslims, and continuing to raise the level of suspicions in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mahfuz said that since 2008, there have been attempts to instil fear and create divisions within a multi-ethnic and multi-religious society.<\/p>\n
He cited the attempted arson of the state DAP headquarters at Jalan Talipon yesterday, saying that certain quarters are manipulating issues of the DAP-led state government.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, lowering the volume of the loudspeakers which broadcast the reciting of the Quran before dawn at mosques here.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was actually an advice from the State Fatwa Council, not a decree, but some people chose to manipulate the situation by blaming the state government,\u201d said Mahfuz.
Dialogues the way to resolve issues<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nChief Minister Lim Guan Eng, he said, did not interfere in the issue as it was a matter under the purview of the State Fatwa Council, yet certain quarters are portraying Lim as anti-Islam.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf one looks at Islam\u2019s history, even Jews had embraced the religion after discovering that Islam advocates justice,\u201d added Mahfuz.<\/p>\n
Penang PAS deputy commissioner III Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa, meanwhile, said while freedom of speech or assembly in a democractic setting must be respected, the approach can be questioned.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose setting fire to newspapers outside the DAP office should ask themselves whether that is the only way to signal their frustration or disapproval of things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mujahid said PAS is trying its best to defuse any attempts by extremist groups to create fear in society but instead, it is now accused of being subservient to non-Muslim groups.<\/p>\n
He said dialogues are the best avenue to resolve any misgivings in Penang, especially since there are diverse communities here.<\/p>\n
Instead of resorting to vandalism, these groups should have sought a dialogue with the state government.<\/p>\n
Mujahid said there is a need for Muslims to show maturity and sensibility when dealing with sensitive issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
