Yesterday, the Selangor Religious Department (JAIS) arrested Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin (MAZA) on grounds of promoting wahhabi doctrine to supporters (The Star, 2/11/2009). I think before people start critizing the federal goverment, they must understand that all islamic and religious matter of a state is under the control of the state goverment, not the federal goverment. Therefore it is irresponsible for the opposition to blame the goverment on the arrest of MAZA.
It is important to note that the Prime Minister and UMNO Youth has came out in condemnation of JAIS for the arrest. PAS Youth has now stated that they would like to meet JAIS on this matter. I am happy to see that UMNO and PAS are on the same wavelength in condemning the arrest of MAZA. This shows that both this parties can work together of issues that are a concern to them. Hopefully UMNO and PAS can work together in various capacities for the betterment of the ummah and Malaysians generally.
