The fear among Malaysian non-Muslim toward Islam definitely worsened when conservative Islamic party PAS has shelved a proposal to ban gambling and restrict alcohol sales in Penang, Perak, Kedah and Selangor.
Non-Muslim especially Chinese and Indian concerned over rising "Islamisation" of the country. The extreme stereotypes of PAS’s fundamentalist approach as a political strategy fails to take into account the multi-faceted complexity of those Islamic groups as well as the non-Muslim.
It creates unnecessary tension for all concerned thus drawn into controversy and jeopardizes the good tradition of Malaysian unity that has long existed. No Malaysian in their right mind wants to live peacefully with hateful radical extremist folks.
It is a wise decision that conservative Islamic party PAS has shelved a proposal to ban gambling and restrict alcohol sales in the four states-Penang, Perak, Kedah and Selangor, which rules with its political allies.
Mohamad Daud Iraqi, head of the PAS Islamic scholars group, has said the four other opposition-held states - Penang, Perak, Kedah and Selangor which surrounds the capital - should emulate Kelantan's Islamic laws.
"For starters, states under the opposition alliance can reduce the number of gambling premises as gambling is strictly prohibited by all religions,"
In Kelantan, which PAS rules in its own right, it has banned gambling, restricted the sale of alcohol and requires men and women to queue in separate lines at shops.
Kelantan authorities periodically hit the headlines with attempts to ban women from wearing heavy make-up, skimpy clothes and high heels.
