[Straits Times] LEADERS of all religious faiths in Kelantan will be asked to meet and come up with a common stand against sinful acts, said Kelantan Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.They just can't comprehend the idea of leaving anybody alone...
He said the gathering would be held soon so the religious leaders could discuss problems related to sex outside marriage, gambling, baby-dumping, Mat Rempit, snatch thefts, corruption and others.
'The intention is to get a common stand from leaders of different faiths that such sinful acts are abhorred and that followers should refrain from committing them.'
'All these leaders will come up with a joint statement. It will be an attestation from all religions that it is not only Islam which prohibits such acts but other faiths too,' he told reporters after launching a scheme called Azziwaaj Gateway which would provide RM1,000 (S$420) to poor couples who lacked funds to get married.
Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz, who is also PAS spiritual adviser, said the meeting was part of a move to educate the people of Kelantan to fear Allah and not enforcement officers who were tasked with carrying out laws drafted by the authorities.
'We want to educate the Kelantanese based on Allah's laws and not by the secular system.'
