I had the pleasure of hosting Dato Kamarudin Jaffar MP (PAS Sec-Gen) and YB Dr Syed Azman (ADUN Batu Buruk) over the weekend. I am sure info about some of the meetings will be in Harakah soon. Later tonight I will be hosting the former Secretary of Dewan Ulamak Pusat. Exciting.
Of course, with all the Pas figures coming over, one cannot avoid but to talk and think about the party.
Clearly PAS is now in a very new territory. The party’s recent decision to accept non-Muslims as members I think will ruffle feathers, particularly among fellow “puritan” friends – ie: those who say people joining PAS, or party leaders, must have pure “fikrah”, untainted by the fikrah of UMNO, JIM, ABIM, Tabligh, etc.
With the new decision, we could possibly have non-Muslims holding leadership positions in the party. How can the party stay “pure”?
And that is not yet adding to the fact that PAS Vice President, Haji Mohamd Sabu, spoke approvingly at Socialism Malaysia 2008. Many moons ago socialism would be considered as very near to sesat. Now….??
I wonder what the real “fikrah” of the party is…..

largest malaysian muslim democracy party
i think its okay to have non Malays holding post in PAS as long as they are good Muslims
sorry to bombard u all on the same day but i see nothing wrong with reconciliating socialist ideas with PAS’s political aims. im not a supporter of PAS but i dont believe socialism is contradictory with islam.
