The nation's Islamist party, PAS, urged Muslims here not to
involve themselves with extremists groups such as the Islamic State (IS)
militants which are against Islamic teaching and practices.
PAS deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man said Islam
is a religion that preaches salvation with the Prophet sent to bring blessing
and not disaster.
“Don't get involved with extremist groups.
"Muslims should not involve themselves with the IS
movement and all other extremists groups because they are against the teaching
of Islam,” he said in statement issued to the media on Tuesday.
He added that extremist attitudes were against Islamic
religious practices and this is universal in all other religions.
“In championing religion and implementation of Islam,
Muslims cannot be awkward and take the easy path.
“Those who wish for quick victory will act aggressively and
sideline the prohibitions in Islam resulting in a wrong view of Islam,” he
added.
Tuan Ibrahim also said that PAS is hopeful that
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar and the police force will
take steps to improve on weaknesses in monitoring IS militants and remain
vigilant in acting against those bent on destroying the nation.
“I call on members of the public to play a role in helping
ensure the safety of public places as a precautionary measure,” he added.
Tuan Ibrahim's statement was in response to Khalid's
confirmation of local IS militant involvement in the mini-grenade attack on
Movida Kitchen, Bar & Club Lounge in Puchong last Tuesday.
The 2.15am blast at the nightspot left eight people,
including a female Chinese national, injured.
