PAS' support for the militant Palestinian organisation, Hamas, and jihad (holy war) did not mean that the party has turned radical, said its president Abdul Hadi Awang.
He said there was nothing wrong in recognising Hamas as a legitimate liberation organisation as it represented the Palestinian people who have been long abused by the Israeli regime.
"Is it wrong to support a group of people who are fighting the cruel acts of Israel, which uses sophisticated arms against children with stones and pebbles?" he asked.
