PERMATANG PAUH, May 5 — Muslims who openly reject hudud cannot be trusted as followers of Islam have no choice but to accept the Islamic penal law, religious speaker Datuk Mohammad Kazim Elias claimed last night.

Speaking at a campaign rally organised by Barisan Nasional (BN) for the Permatang Pauh by-election here on May 7, the popular speaker pointed out that Umno fully supports hudud.
“There are Muslims who openly reject hudud and those who openly reject hudud are ruthless people,” he told the thousands of people gathered at the ceramah yesterday night.
He said for hudud to be implemented in Parliament, it needs a lot of other things such as full strong support, a strong economy and peace.
“We will need full support in Parliament to be able to pass the hudud law so here in Permatang Pauh, you have to be sure that your MP will support hudud when the time comes,” he said.
He then accused Muslims who said they rejected hudud because certain parts were not agreeable as merely making excuses.
“Just like this carpet I’m standing on, we can’t throw out the whole carpet just because a small patch of it is dirty,” he said.
He went on to say that it is important for everyone to do what is best for Islam, for their faith and for their country.
He extolled the main teachings of Islam that preaches for everyone to do good no matter the consequences.
Kazim then started singing praises of Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who was also present to listen to the talk.
“I met with him and he was telling me about the number of poor people he met in Permatang Pauh and how he wanted to help all of them regardless of whether they (BN) win or lose,” he said, referring to the by-election.
He said this showed Zahid is sincere in wanting to help the people regardless of politics or affiliations
“This is what Islam teaches us, to always do good, to practise openness and not be extreme and dramatic,” he said.
He added that his talk was non-political because he is a religious speaker who only talks about Islam and what the Quran teaches all Muslims.
“I only want to protect your faith in Islam so it doesn’t matter which box you cross out, it is more important that your faith is protected,” he said.
Kazim is a popular religious speaker from Perak known for his comedic delivery of speeches and has a large following.
Umno assemblyman openly supported their PAS counterparts in Kelantan to pass the Shariah Criminal Code (II) (1993) 2015 Enactment on March 19.
But the party has remained non-committal on whether it will similarly back PAS’s attempt in Parliament to allow hudud to be enforced in the state.
The move would pit Umno against non-Muslim BN components such as MCA, MIC and Gerakan as well as those in Sabah and Sarawak that are against hudud. -MM
