Asri (above) also posted a video of a crying child frantically searching for someone among a row of corpses. The boy then finds the person he is looking for, kneels, and plants a kiss on the deceased’s face. The Arabic caption in the video stated that the boy, identified as Khaleed Al-Naji, was the son of someone who died as a “martyr”.

It is believed the video was from the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict which has claimed thousands of lives. Commenting on Asri’s post, former deputy minister Mohamed Hanipa Maidin said: “In my view, he was too simplistic in his comment.” He told Malaysiakini that while the Palestinian issue transcended politics, race, or even religion, the mufti, however, “seems to frame the issue using the lens of religion only”. 

Meanwhile, Hanipa said Malaysians, irrespective of their political affiliation, religion, or race, are not pro-Israel. Similarly, the former deputy minister said those who expressed concern over the Palestine Solidarity Week in schools should not be perceived as supporting the Zionist regime. Several users on X also criticised Asri, with one asking: “Outing yourself as a Nazi? Your antisemitism is repugnant and a disgrace.”

Another user said: “Your hatred for Jews is greater than your love for your fellow human beings.” Malaysiakini has called and texted Asri for comment on the criticism but did not receive a response.

Cogito Ergo Sum : This mufti is ignorant. Hitler wanted the world to be peopled by a Master race, the Aryans. Everybody else were sub humans, including Malays, Chinese and Indians. Had he lived during Hitler’s reign, he and his family might never have survived. That’s how brilliant this Mufti is. How many had he led astray I wonder?

Rajawan : Dear Mohd. Asri and Hanipa Maidin, All the prophets were Jews including Jesus Christ except one. Can we love the prophets and hate the Jews ? What if Jesus Christ comes back and asks the question of why Muslims are persecuting and hating his brethren people ?

Koel : Malaysians who hold Hitler up as some sort of idol are such pitiable fools because to Hitler they would have been just another subhuman, not much better than animals. In Hitler's world, these people would have been worked to death or experimented on or gassed immediately.

So when idiots like this one use Hitler as a positive reference, it shows the frightening depths of their ignorance born out of a low class system of education in our country. So the laugh is on you, Asri, you pitiful ignoramus. Better to keep your mouth shut than to open it and show exactly how stupid you are.

Macau Hijau : Mk pls do the reporting properly, u wrote "The recent conflict in the Middle East erupted on Oct 7 after Hamas launched an attack on Israel which left more than 1,000 civilians and soldiers dead. Some 200 were taken hostage as well". U said Hamas "launched an attack" on Israel.

It sounds like a normal military, where u atk military target. Clearly, Hamas target on that day was to kill civilians and also take civilians hostages. As the place they chose was an open air concert. Hence, it was an outright terror attack, nothing more and nothing less. U dare not say the word..i say for u...

Of course what happens after that the retaliation is almost as bad. But that does not change the fact that oct7 was a terror attack. Admit it. Anyone who does not admit oct7 was a terror atk has no right to say anything about the subsequent retaliation.

AmradS : We don’t know how well Adolf Hitler knew the Jews but one thing we know you very well. By illegally and without both the parents concerned you have converted the innocent children. You support the drug addicted father, just because he is a Muslim convert.

The sign of intelligence is that you are constantly wondering. Idiots are always dead sure about every damn thing they are doing in their life. Religion cannot be done on the street. It can only be done within you. If you become truly religious, you must be beyond any kind of conflict, both within and outside. That is the whole crux of the religion. An intelligent person is constantly hesitating with life.

With every steps, he wonders whether what he is doing is okay or not. But a fool has absolute confidence, and when his stupidity gets stamped by god, thats it. No looking back. He just can go on doing the most idiotic things, without any problem about it. Amazing truth is this people fight for religion, die for religion, but don't follow religion.

Gerard Lourdesamy : Too be expected. Eventually, it will all be about hate for the Jews and finding ways and means to kill them. Anti-semitism is alive and well in the Malaysian religious establishment. Asri should be proud. He has shown the whole world the true face of Islam as practised in Malaysia.

Hitler knew better that all non-Aryans must be exterminated. That would include all Arabs and Muslims as well. All of a sudden Hitler has become the friend of Islam. What can the rest of us say? They must be literally scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Sealthedeal : Not this idiot again. If its not unilateral conversion it's jew hating. He is an evil source of everything wrong with Islam in this country.

Kepala Tak Centre : The same Asri labelled a photo of Dr Ramasamy showing solidarity and humanity with Sri Lankan Tamils as terrorism act. But, when comes to Muslim, the same Asri talks a different tone.
