Dipaparkan di bawah beberapa sedutan ringkas daripada kenyataan akhbar yang dikeluarkan Abdul Hadi Awang kelmarin. Dalam ulasan beliau bertarikh 29 Disember, presiden PAS tersebut berkata:
• “Dalam peta zaman dahulu, Rantau Nusantara dikenali dengan nama Alam Melayu, selain ada Benua China dan Benua Keling (benua kecil India, istilah yang digunakan dalam bahasa dahulu) sebelum penduduk di sini mengenali dunia yang lebih luas.”
• “Sepatutnya kalangan yang betul ilmu pengetahuannya memahami keadaan alam ini di mana negerinya berada dan bumi tempat dia berpijak.”
BAWAH: Wajib isytihar jihad pihak cetus kebencian bahasa asal Melayu — Hadi Awang
• “Tulisan Bahasa Melayu berhuruf Al-Quran adalah warisan asal Bahasa Melayu yang sengaja dirosakkan oleh penjajah dahulu dalam agendanya khusus terhadap umat Islam dan agamanya.”
• “Maka adalah menjadi kewajipan kepada kaum Melayu berusaha untuk kembali kepada tulisan asalnya yang telah dirosakkan oleh penjajah Barat. Bahkan, kaum lain yang datang ke Tanah Melayu dan telah diberi hak berbahasa mereka sendiri juga berkewajipan mempelajari bahasa Alam Melayu ini. Jangan bersikap fanatik dengan bahasa kaum mereka di negeri asal usul dan berputar melawan arus di Alam Melayu ini.”
• “Agenda menolak pemerkasaan Bahasa Melayu adalah agenda penjajah dahulu yang ditolak oleh rakyat di sini bersama agenda mengeluarkan penjajah daripada tanah air, bukan sahaja jasadnya termasuk juga segala perancangan yang merosakkan jati diri, khususnya terhadap Islam dan penganutnya.”
• “Maka akan tiba masanya kami boleh mengisytiharkan bahawa mereka yang menimbulkan kebencian terhadap bahasa asal Melayu yang membawa kesan pengaruh Islam di rantau ini adalah saki baki penerusan agenda penjajah baharu, musuh yang wajib diisytiharkan jihad terhadapnya.”
• “Mereka yang mengambil langkah benci terhadap Bahasa Melayu berhuruf Jawi adalah terlampau ekstrem menjadi laksana menjolok sarang tebuan yang sangat besar bencana dan padahnya.”
• “Maka adalah sangat tidak saksama jika mereka [Cina, Tamil] menghalang kaumnya mempelajari bahasa kami, lebih malang kalau tidak sedar dirinya berada di Alam Melayu.”
• “Umat Islam dilarang mencari musuh, bahkan digalakkan berdamai. Tetapi kalau dipaksa bermusuh, maka diharamkan berundur.”
Helen Ang 
I understand Islam is “a religion of peace”.
Seems there are also “ifs” and “buts”.
There seems, too, a “Malay” version of Islam.
Maybe there are many versions…
Don’t know where Chinese Muslims stand in all the “alternative” interpretations of Islam. Are they more “Chinese” or more “Muslim”?
Or neither?
If I were to busy myself practising Islam, I would emphasize on the word “peace”. I won’t be hard up at all demanding gratitude for anything other than being able to be a person who understands and practises peace.
I would worry for myself and see myself at fault if I fail to be peaceful.
Or fail to find peace in my faith.
Anybody else should worry about bringing anything else into what should be honest and peaceful practice and profession of Islam.
Anything else, I should trust the Almighty.
And leave it to the Almighty to accuse, judge and punish those who are not peaceful, not grateful, and not everything and anything else.
Still, it would be very petty and undeserving of the Almighty’s attention bringing up and making a big meal out of insisting rights nobody is hard up to claim, “damage” suffered by those terribly easy to “offend”, demanding “gratitude” for what are relatively trivial matter.
Maybe I should include magnanimity, sense of righteousness, integrity, empathy, love… and even humanity, leave small-time politics out of it all – and not be mistaken for wanting to stir communal or even racist “wasps’ nest”, a kind soul, a big heart can hold the universe, the Almighty can solve all the worldly problems and issues for us…
I am no Christian, but I have nothing against that “Love thine neighbour as thine self”, it may the singularly most powerful message in any religion if one wants to practise it.
It’s free too.
There’s also that thing about “forgiveness”. Sprinkling that generously in one’s heart and soul would make one rather religious. “Forgiveness” is not an exclusive Christian product.
Should someone make you unhappy, indignant, forgive the person.
It is also good for your health.
Occasionally there may be someone who forgets to be grateful, forgets to bang his head hard on the ground in deep gratitude.
It would be less painful for us if we forgive such a person. He may just be unaware of his huge glaring “fault”, he may not be deliberately wanting to offend or hurt, we should be big and adult in our faith, not sweat the little thing, fume and bitch, tear our hair out in indignation and rage.
I shouldn’t go without saying the Yahudi “Shalom”.
It means “Peace”.
Some other faiths also greet with that word.
And don’t I want peace in my heart, in my soul, Amen?
Shalom aleichem to one and all!
Here is the old song, errr in the Chinese”:
pas under hadi is no more a religious party, its obviously now a racist party.
