PAS man cites 'Salman Rushdie', Amanah man ropes in 'Taliban'
PAS and Umno have repeatedly accused the Pakatan Harapan government of failing to be stern with regard to issues concerning Islam.
The issue cropped up again last night during a talk on the campaign trail for the Semenyih by-election, where PAS central committee member Zuhdi Marzuki said more are becoming emboldened in insulting Prophet Muhammad.

PAS and Umno have repeatedly accused the Pakatan Harapan government of failing to be stern with regard to issues concerning Islam.
The issue cropped up again last night during a talk on the campaign trail for the Semenyih by-election, where PAS central committee member Zuhdi Marzuki said more are becoming emboldened in insulting Prophet Muhammad.
He claimed this is akin to the presence of "numerous Salman Rushdies" in the country, referring to the prize-winning British novelist.
“We never imagined this in our lifetime. When Rushdie penned the book The Satanic Verses in 1999, the whole world was enraged.
“Whether Shia or Sunni (Muslim sects), all opposed it, and Rushdie was afraid to leave the house.
“We are puzzled that since Harapan came to power, there are many Rushdies in Malaysia,” he added.

On Feb 19, police had detained a 68-year-old man over a Facebook post which was deemed as insulting to Prophet Muhammad and his wife Saidatina Aishah.
Three days later, the man was released on police bail. This led Umno and PAS to criticise the move, and warn of a mammoth gathering if action is not taken against individuals who belittled Islam.
Meanwhile, Kelantan Amanah's legal adviser Hisham Fauzi urged all quarters to trust the authorities in this matter.
“I implore PAS and Umno leaders not to make Malaysia a Taliban state. They must understand that the suspect has been released on police bail. It is not the end of the case.
“It means, the person has been released for the time being and would be called again to face charges in court,” he added.
Patung Datukgong dan patung Hindu sengaja diletakkan di tempat masjid, mengapa kejadian ini hanya dikatakan kejadian yang tak hormati pada masjid / Islam saja, padahal perkara ini juga kejadian memang perkara yang tak hormati dewa Datukgong and dewa Hindu juga !! Perkara sebegini patut dipandang dari kedua-dua segi dan hala, bukan dengan satu hala saja !! Jadi, apakah tindakan yang patut diambil ke atas pelaku tersebut...jangan pakai alasan "orang tu gila" sahaja !!
I dont really understand what this guy Zuhdi is trying to do when he invoked Salman Rushdie's name. Tumpang glamour maybe. Cant stand on his own to reason. If someone says im like Salman Rushdie i'd be flattered actually. But of course he meant for people to hate me. Silly me. Holy Man Zuhdi is just conveniently playing the victim thats all. 'Oh woe is me, my religion is insulted'. What kind of great religion is it when it can be easily insulted. Actually its not your religion being insulted, its you perasan being insulted. Because you stink and cant take it when peope say you stink. Anyway, its stupid people who wants to insult other people's religion. Do you want to keep screaming everytime a stupid person say something stupid? Do you think God feels insulted by stupid people? See, with someone stupid like Holy Man Zuhdi around, i feel clever like Salman Rushdie already.
