Even before the dust has settled on the "Chinese
are intruders" controversy, Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) has dropped
another bombshell.
This time around, Isma president Abdullah Zaik Abdul Rahman agreed that hudud law be applied to non-Muslims as well.
Responding to a question, he said this is to streamline civil and syariah laws in order to safeguard national security.
"I agree (for hudud to be implemented on non-Muslims).
"We can understand hudud from two aspects. For Muslims it is kifarah (absolving of sins) but for non-Muslims, they can consider it for the sake of national security."
"In matters involving public interest, it has to be implemented on all," he told a press conference in Bangi today.
Abdullah Zaik's suggestion appears also to sync with a recent statement by ex-mufti of Perlis Mohd Asri Zainal Abidin, who similarly argued that for the sake of public safety's, a uniformed hudud law should apply to all.
But Abdullah Zaik said he would not tolerate non-Muslims having their say on hudud.
"For a non-Muslims to intervene in hudud, it is encroaching into Islam. They have no such right to do so.
"We respect their right to get rich but when we want to apply our religious rights, they say no.... What right do they have to block us? They have to be more mindful of others."
To a question, he explained that MCA's bid to reject hudud may just be an attempt to fish for votes.
"I won't take MCA's views seriously because in my opinion MCA is only trying their luck, for me they are testing the market," he said.
