Death threat group accused of perverting jihad call
- 9 years ago
Selangor executive council member Halimah Ali today hit out at those who sent a death threat and a slaughtered chicken to Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching, accusing them of perverting the holy call of jihad.
"They call themselves the Army of Jihad. This is a misuse of the term jihad.
"They are committing an offence against the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and against Allah," said Halimah at the weekly post-exco meeting press conference at the state secretariat today.
She contended that a real Muslim who understands the real meaning of jihad would not have done such a thing.
"That is not the way to perform jihad. A good Muslim, when angry will be rational and controlled, not react in this way," she stressed.
She cautioned Muslims who do not truly understand jihad, which is the Islamic term for holy war, to be careful in using the word.
