Attack on youth is an insult to Islam, say Pas Youth
(TMI) – “Irrespective of whether the perpetrators were Muslims or not, they have caused the public at large to view Muslims with anger and disgust.”
The actions of a group of youth to use Islam as an excuse to assault Ng Mun Tatt has actually desecrated and insulted the religion, said Pas Youth.
Its secretary Khairul Faizi Ahmad said the abduction and assault of Ng in Shah Alam recently was unacceptable in society.
Ng held a press conference following the incident, denying that he had insulted Islam, clarifying that his abductors had scrawled words on his body to deter the public from helping him.
“What is regrettable is that the perpetrators had used the issue of religion to make their criminal act of targeting non-Muslims seem legal,” Khairul was quoted by Harakahdaily as saying.
“The criminals have not made Islam proud of their actions. In fact, it is the opposite as they have sacrificed the pride and dignity of the religion.
“Irrespective of whether the perpetrators were Muslims or not, they have caused the public at large to view Muslims with anger and disgust.”
