Free market capitalism is facing a hard time. Many are blaming the free market for the economic crisis facing the world.

- Religious freedom: A challenge to PAS
- Muslims here defend the criminalisation of missionary works on Muslims by arguing that the sanctity of Islam must be protected, and that this protection is granted by law. This argument is flawed.
- PAS: Elections above all else
- PAS pushes ahead at full steam on becoming a mainstream political party that appeals to all. It does this at the risk of losing the support of those who see it as an Islamic movement first, political party second.

- What's wrong with 'lobbying' within PAS?
- Contradictions between what is said and done are coming home to roost in PAS, which is facing party elections in June.
