Desperate PAS To Open Door For Non-muslim Leaders If The Need Arise

SHAH ALAM, Feb 28 (Bernama) -- A PAS Supreme Council member claimed the party was willing to accept non-Muslims into positions as high as deputy president should the need arise.
Dzulkefly Ahmad who is also the Kuala Selangor Member of Parliament (MP) believes the prospect was possible as it could address the change for intellectual renewal and withstand the challenges of time.
"Maybe the need is not there now but if put forward, we are ready to discuss the possibility at the PAS Muktamar.
"However, this depends on the need and necessity of the party," he said at a news conference after participating in a forum entitled "Mengapa Undi Melayu Pecah" at Karangkraf Complex here Tuesday.
At the forum, the moderator Dr Maszlee Malik, a lecturer from Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA), had asked Dzulkefly whether PAS was ready to emulate the footsteps of the Egypt's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, who appointed Coptic Christian intellectutal Rafiq Habib as its vice-president.

tunku: never knew that pas can go so low but it is not a surprise statement by its leaders as they have changed a lot lately. in 5 years time i guess pas will not be a islamic base party anymore. hope the Muslims in pas could realize this and quit the party asap. pas is demonized. later they will come out with the statement non muslim can be the pm of this country just to fish for vote.
