Hadi Awang defies Terengganu ruler Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin

lèse-majesté

Malaysiakini : PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said there is nothing wrong with Muslim politicians delivering sermons in mosques or surau, pointing out they have a duty to speak up on various matters including politics.

The Perikatan Nasional deputy chairperson, who delivers weekly Friday sermons from Masjid Rusila, Marang, stressed that politics and religion in Islam are inseparable. “Even the Prophet Muhammad SAW talks about politics in his sermons.

“We are talking about Islam, and in politics there is Islam, so it becomes political Islam. There is nothing wrong and we have a duty to talk about it,” said the Marang MP during a press conference in Rusila yesterday.

“Something that is not right, we must speak up. Be it on the economy, politics, or others, Muslims have a duty to speak up, including to encourage good deeds and prevent vices,” said Hadi (above).

He said this in response to the ban against all politicians including parliamentarians, state assemblymembers, and senators from delivering a lecture or sermon in all mosques and surau across Terengganu.

HopeGotLight : Yes - everything is wrong when you preach extremism, racism , segregation of races and that’s what exactly you are being told. Tell you nicely and you don’t want to listen - means you are menderhaka. Understand ? Faham?

Nuyiko : Other than using race and religion to get power, what had you and PAS done to help malay/muslim? In Kelantan, they failed to provide clean water, collect garbaga and maintain road condition.

It also failed to create jobs and development resulting Kelantan being the poorest state in the country. Many kampungs are flooded now, what had they done to help and rescue flood victims? Nothing, they continue to race and religion to divide people.

Travis Bickle : “I will continue my sermons as per usual in surau and mosques," added Hadi. He is brazenly declaring that he will break the law? And even go against Tuanku's command? Yet no action. Is he untouchable?

New Era : He shows defiance to the Royalty. What else PDRM is waiting for before causing more havoc in this beautiful nation.

UB40 : Let the His Highness Sultan Terengganu bring action against this old disrespectful lebai. I am disappointed that the police/AG did not bring any action against the Himpit rally. Looks like this lebai is untouchable.

darmakochi : Please! Do not equate yourself during The Prophet's time. You are just a cheap politician!

Tholkappian : Hadi, apa dah jadi kepada penghormatan kamu keatas prinsip ke-2 Rukun Negara - Kesetiaan Kepada RAJA dan Negara? Sudah berani kamu menderhaka kepada Tuanku Sultan Terengganu. Tak mahu ke kamu menyalahkan DAP atas kemusyikilan baru ini?

JazliSalleh : Why are the religious authorities keeping silent on his attack against Tuanku Sultan's command??

While many people who ate in public during fasting month in the past were hauled up like criminals for going against the religious rulings but this guy is free to say whatever he wants against and yet the religious authorities do not move an inch to reprimand him.

Is he an untouchable? We should not practice double standards when it comes to our religion.
