PAS has really got some real soul-searching to do. On the one hand they exhort their very special purpose in Islam. They want to set up an Islamic state and they want us all to live under Islamic rule insisting the Islamic rule is just to all, Muslims and non-Muslims.

On the other hand, rather than welcoming the prime minister's statement about using meritocracy in university enrollments, whatever his reason, for PAS information chief Azizan Abdul Razak to say that such an act was against the Federal Constitution because it stipulates that no one could question the special privileges given to the Malays, there is indeed an obvious contradiction.

Is he referring to that same constitution that would required to be changed before Malaysia can become an Islamic state? Therefore, would not the call for an Islamic state be going against the constitution?

How does PAS than figure that in an Islamic state, Islamic justice will be served by prejudicing one section of the community only because of their creed and or colour?

But over the years as Malaysians, the non-Malays have learnt to live with it and will be quite happy to go on living with it so long as what is left for us remains for us to assume with no further constrains.

If, however, an Islamic state is to be introduced, then if PAS expects support from the non-Muslims then it ought to be able to complete Islamic rule. As I understand it, that would mean no more privileges and no more sacrifices expected out of the non-Muslims. If that is not possible, then it might just be better that PAS stop talking about something it knows absolutely nothing of.
