BAru-baru ini, JAIS telah menyerbu sebuah dewan yang di dalam kawasan gereja. Katanya, ada majlis yang diadakan yang didalamnya dihadiri oleh orang-orang Islam juga.
Soalan saya, mengapa JAIS tak tangkap Najib Tun Razak. Najib telah menziarahi Pope di Gereja Utama Katolik di Vatican City. Malahan, di Vatican City itu, kuasa mutlak pemerintahan terletak di tangan Pope.
Maka, saya pun hairan juga mengapa JAIS tiba-tiba bersikap begini?
Adakah kerana JAIS masih dikawal oleh UMNO melalui juak2 mereka yang menduduki kayangan?
Setuju sangat dengan kenyataan Khalid Samad bahawa pendirian Hasan Ali itu bukan pendirian PAS dan pendirian parti. Ia cuma pendirian pribadi beliau sahaja.

Hasan’s view on church raid not PAS’s, says Khalid

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 — Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad has distanced the Selangor PAS leadership from state executive councillor Datuk Hasan Ali’s statement yesterday that insisted Christians were attempting to convert Muslims during a church dinner held on Wednesday night.
Khalid stressed that Hasan’s views were “not Selangor PAS’s stance” when contacted by The Malaysian Insider, revealing a deep and continuing rift between the Islamic party’s liberal and more hardline factions in the state.
“Christians can’t even use the words ‘Quran’ and ‘pray’? This is not PAS’s stand. It is his own as the exco in charge of religious affairs.
“Muslims attending a church event is not proof of proselytising. Datuk Seri Najib Razak went to see the Pope in the Vatican. Was that proselytising?” the deputy state chief said, referring to the prime minister’s recent diplomatic visit.

Hasan defended Wednesday’s late-night state Islamic enforcement raid on a church in Petaling Jaya, alleging that the words “Quran” and “pray” were used in the presence of 12 Muslims at the dinner function.
He claimed this was evidence that Christians were proselytising to Muslims.
The PAS Gombak Setia assemblyman said this just hours after Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim moved to calm the uproar over the raid, ordering the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) to justify their incursion on the multiracial dinner.
Damansara Utama Methodist Church senior pastor Daniel Ho has called for action to be taken against religious enforcement officers who denied over 100 dinner guests their constitutional right to freedom of assembly.
The pastor said the enforcement officers swooped in on the dinner based on an unspecified complaint, bringing along a police team but without any warrant for the operation.
But Khalid said that “irrespective of any law, Jais should show respect and get a proper warrant, not act like the Gestapo (Nazi secret police).”
The PAS central political bureau member has repeatedly clashed with Hasan since Pakatan Rakyat (PR) took over Selangor in March 2008.
Then-state chief Hasan removed Khalid as one of his three deputies in November 2008. But after this year’s PAS party elections in June saw a shift towards more liberal leaders, Hasan was himself removed and Khalid reinstated.
Despite rumours of an executive council reshuffle, Hasan remains in the state government and the clash over Wednesday’s church raid looks set to divide Selangor PAS further.
