COMMENT Rather than using the Christian community as his convenient bayonet practice when he accused them of using financial and material inducement to win over converts (as reported in Free Malaysia Today on Jan 18), PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang’s call that this “is a transgression which is a danger that must be fought” is alarming.

Is he suggesting a call to arms and/or waging a holy war against Christians, considering this is the battle cry of IS in their aim to topple the Vatican and install its version of a caliphate in its place.

Is the rise of radicalised Malaysians over the last decade - with the aim of causing mayhem within our own country or in Southeast Asia - not far more dangerous than his own imagined and manufactured “enemy” of the Christians?
