Hadi: PAS prepared to work with Jews, not Zionists

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang said the party allowed cooperation with the Jews, especially in commerce, but rejected Zionism.

He said cooperation with the Jews in commerce was allowed as trading with non-Muslims had been practiced all this while.

"Nevertheless, PAS rejects Zionism because it is a fanatical ideology of the Jew race," he said in a question-and-answer session during a dinner with PAS leaders,organised by its Dewan Muslimat in Shah Alam last night.

 

Also present was PAS spiritual leader Nik Aziz Nik Mat, who is also the menteri besar of Kelantan.

In another development, Abdul Hadi said PAS would change the mindset of the Malays to strengthen themselves through Islamic teachings.

Abdul Hadi also said the party was prepared to field artistes as candidates in the coming general election at the request of any of its branches or areas.
