PAS victim of ‘misconception’, says leader

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A PAS leader has lamented that the party often falls victim to the misconception that it is against non-Muslims, despite its efforts over the years to reach out to the community.

PAS treasurer Iskandar Abdul Samad said the party was open to dialogue with church leaders, for example, to counter Islamophobia and provide a better understanding of the faith.

He pointed out that for decades, non-Muslims in PAS-led Kelantan had been free to practise their faith and carry on with their lifestyle, adding that a similar approach was also adopted in the three other states it governs – Terengganu, Kedah and Perlis.
