Nik Aziz responds to Isa's 'insane' attack
Harakahdaily
KOTA BHARU, Jan 21: After being labeled 'insane' by former Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Isa Samad, PAS Murshidul Am Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat (right) said Isa's statement was an admission of PAS’s success in advocating Islam in its struggle.
Nik Aziz was responding to a statement by Isa, who is the new chairman of Felda, describing the Kelantan MB as "insane" for thinking that DAP had understood Islam.
“Nik Aziz is even insane. He said the DAP understands Islam (even when) we as Muslims sometimes don't quite understand (the religion). How can Karpal Singh and Lim Kit Siang understand Islam just by being friends with PAS for two or three years? These are all lies!” Isa was quoted by online news portal Malaysiakini during an address at a pro-BN dinner held in conjunction with the Tenang by-election, which also saw performances by scantily clad dancers.
Nik Aziz however said the fact that the non-Muslim community now had increased their understanding of Islam because PAS managed to show the religion in a right perspective.
He added that Isa’s statement that that Muslims did not understand Islam was correct in so far as the Malay Muslims had accepted Barisan Nasional’s ways.
Nik Aziz further attributed what he called confusion in society to a lack of comprehension on Islam.
“Because (PAS) realises that Muslims do not understand their responsibility as a Muslim, the party has been ever ready to guide them.
"The one that creates problem is UMNO, which only knows how to build mosques, but when it comes to accept preachers, they want to filter and need to seek their consent,” he lamented.
Meanwhile, PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan Tantawi urged Isa to retract his statement against Nik Aziz, saying his words were uncouth to someone of Nik Aziz’s stature.
“This is another instance of ignorance, having failed to argue, they start cursing and swearing, and this shows how low the personality and mentality (of the person is),” said Nasrudin.

KENYATAAN MEDIA KETUA DEWAN PEMUDA PAS PUSAT
19 Januari 2011 (Selasa)
"Isa Samad Hilang Kewarasan"
1. Datuk Isa Samad yang baru sahaja dinobatkan sebagai Pengerusi Felda yang baru kelihatan hilang waras apabila melemparkan kata - kata kesat kepada Al Mursyidul Am PAS Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz sebagai gila sewaktu berkempen di Tenang Johor.
2. Apa yang diungkap oleh Datuk Isa Samad Persis ucapan dan tindakan yang dilakukan oleh orang - orang jahiliyyah yang gagal menyangkal hujjah Nabi saw ketika mengajak mereka beriman kepada Allah swt Tuhan yang Maha Mencipta. Inilah sifat jahiliyyah sepanjang zaman, setelah gagal berhujjah lalu mereka akan melemparkan sumpah seranah dan caci maki sekaligus menunjukkan betapa rendahnya keperibadian serta tahap berfikir.
3. Tambahan pula ucapan dan kata - kata kesat sedemikian dilemparkan oleh beliau dalam keadaan beliau berada di dalam satu majlis yang sangat jelek. Tanpa sedar diri yang sedang bergelumang dosa, lalu ia menuduh liar ke arah orang lain terutama insan seperti Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz yang terkenal dengan ketinggian peribadi dan ilmunya.
4. Datuk Isa Samad wajar menarik balik kata - kata yang celupar dan biadab andai beliau berasa dirinya seorang pemimpin yang baik. Jika tidak, tentu sahaja rakyat bijak menilai terutamanya masyarakat felda terhadap tahap keperibadian Datuk Isa Samad yang dilihat tidak memaparkan nilai akhlak pemimpin yang bermoral dan terpuji, malah lebih kelihatan seperti gengster berdepan musuhnya.
5. Dewan Pemuda PAS Malaysia sangat kesal dengan pendekatan politik sedemikian. kelihatan seperti mereka sangat terdesak mendepani gelombang yang digerakkan oleh PAS dan rakan - rakan Pakatan Rakyat yang diperkaya pula dengan ketinggian budi dan akhlak pemimpinnya.
Nasrudin Hj Hasan At-Tantawi
Ketua Dewan Pemuda PAS Pusat
