NOT ENOUGH ASRI, AN APOLOGY & POLICE ACTION OVER SEDITIOUS COMMENT IS DUE: PERLIS MUFTI REMOVES ‘COW WORSHIPPERS’ POEM FROM FACEBOOK PAGE

80% of Muslims and 100% of non-Muslims are waiting to see how the government will handle this as it will define the direction of the BN lead government towards extremism or moderation.  

PETALING JAYA – A poem criticising “cow worshippers” written by Perlis Mufti Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin (pic) has been taken down from his official Facebook page.
 A check by The Star Online on Sunday showed that the poem posted on Friday was no longer on the Facebook page DrMAZA.com belonging to the religious leader.

The initial post by Dr Asri in the form of a poem criticising religious practices of the Hindus appeared to be his attempt to defend a preacher from an “evil government”.

 

He had responded to the backlash from both the Muslim and Hindu communities by saying that the poem was intended for the Indian government run by Narendra Modi and not Hindus in Malaysia as they “did not worship cows”.
