Umno wants measures against misuse of Islam

KUALA LUMPUR -- Umno, facing a growing challenge from the Islamic
opposition, yesterday called for stern measures against those it accuses
of "misusing" the religion.
Delegates to the Umno general meeting unanimously adopted a four-point
resolution urging "firm and effective measures" against "radical groups
and supporters of negative culture who misuse religion to sacrilege
Islam and undermine Muslim resilience and national security".
While not mentioning the Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) by name, the
resolution calls for stronger cooperation between Islamic scholars and
government leaders to promote true Islamic teachings and curb extremism.
It pledges support for efforts to make Malaysia a model for the
advancement of Muslims and Islam.
Religion has become a political battleground in Malaysia, where just
over half the population are Muslim Malays.
PAS, which is challenging Umno for their allegiance, has been fiercely
attacked during the four-day meeting for allegedly distorting Islamic
teachings to win votes.
But there were also voices of reconciliation.
Selangor Umno delegate, Redzuan Addul Hamid, said Umno should hold talks
with PAS for the sake of Malay unity.
"Umno has too long been at loggerheads with PAS. We need to talk.
Attacks against one another only erode Malay unity. This must stop.
"PAS has long asked us to hold discussions but Umno has ignored it," Mr
Redzuan said. "We have to have a political truce."
Mr Khairul Azmi, from Johor, proposed Umno hold a meeting of all Islamic
scholars irrespective of their political affiliation to discuss
challenges to Islam.
