BUTTERWORTH: The coming state elections are more about saving the country from religious bigotry than winning, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
"Some nonsensical issues have been brought up by PAS leaders, like how Prophet Adam landed in Gunung Jerai, and no one questioned it - not even the ulama of PAS."This is clear nonsense accepted out of ignorance, loyalty is more to the party than to the religion."It was said that those who are against PAS are enemies of Allah," he told the press at an Aidiladha event at the Arowana futsal court in Permatang Pauh on Friday .
Anwar said when such statements were countered, PAS leaders then questioned why they could not talk about race and claimed that arguing against them was disrespecting the ulama council."It is not a matter of winning the elections but a matter of saving the country from this religious bigotry," he stressed.Related stories:
