COMMENT | Will Anwar confront religious extremism?
COMMENT | PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang in disobeying a royal decree by the Sultan of Terengganu has demonstrated that rebelliousness is the way how Muslims should react towards religious diktats from the state.

We always ask for a Muslim leader to lead the way and Hadi, by wilfully ignoring a royal decree, is doing more for the Islamic dialectic than every moderate religious and political operative in this government.

I have to admit the last person I thought would be leading the way for an Islamic reformation here in Malaysia would be Hadi.

I always assumed Anwar Ibrahim would be that person. However, Anwar did not thumb his nose at a religious royal decree.
