PETALING JAYA: Former Kota Bharu MP Zaid Ibrahim has taken aim at Muslim academics who have been silent over the reactions to the “Allah” socks issue, lamenting a lack of compassion over the controversy.
Zaid said Islam, as taught by Prophet Muhammad, was a compassionate and merciful religion.
“All other varieties, including those shown by the people in this Madani government in the socks fray, are not true Islam,” he said in a posting on X (formerly Twitter).
“Unfortunately, we still have thousands of the so-called scholars whose salaries are paid by the people yet keep their mouths shut. Are they not ashamed of themselves?” he said.
