2. Rakyat Malaysia menghormati agama yang berlainan dan hak mengamal upacara keagamaan masing-masing oleh pengikutnya. Kita mengelak membuat komen mengenai agama orang lain walaupun kita berdebat hebat sesama kita yang menganut agama yang sama.

3. Malangnya sekarang ini kita sedang menghadapi kontroversi berkaitan penggunaan nama Tuhan, “Allah”. Beberapa tahun yang lalu, kontroversi ini diselesaikan apabila diterima bahawa penganut Kristian di Sabah dan Sarawak boleh terus mengguna kalimah Allah di dalam Kitab Injil dan pengajaran mereka tetapi ini tidak boleh dilakukan di negeri-negeri lain dalam Negara.

2. Kita sedang menyaksi pencemaran ini berlaku kepada agama Islam bukan sahaja oleh musuh Islam tetapi oleh orang Islam sendiri. Kehormatan terhadap agama, Nabi bahkan Allah sudah berkurangan.

3. Sudah ada pemuda Melayu yang sanggup berkata, “Kenapa kita perlu lindungi Nabi, Nabilah yang patut lindungi kita”.

2. I wish I know but the Prime Minister has not told me anything, and in practise only the Prime Minister can determine the date. Of course it cannot go beyond the 5-year term of Parliament.

3. The next question is whether the Barisan Nasional will win. My answer is that it will win. But the margin is important. Malaysia cannot afford a hung Parliament, nor can it afford a weak Government. Both would be bad for Malaysia as everyone would be focusing on politics and the economy and development would be largely neglected.

2. Mungkin kerana Harun Din tidak mahir dengan loghat pepatah Inggeris maka ia fikir ini bermakna saya sanggup bersama dengan syaitan. Makna sebenarnya pepatah ini ialah “lebih baik orang yang dikenali daripada orang yang tidak dikenali”.

3. Kalau Harun Din fikir saya bermaksud lebih baik saya bersama syaitan yang saya kenal daripada malaikat yang saya tidak kenal dan ini salah di sisi agama, maka dia bolehlah suruh saya bertaubat. Tak apalah.

2. The effect of these two pronouncements is far more than is generally known. They have resulted in a deep split among the Malay Muslims who are all Sunnis and followers of the same Imam, Imam Shafie. Usually the splits within the Muslim community are due to the interpretations and teachings of different Imams. Thus the Sunnis and the Shiahs are so deeply divided that they regarded each other as non-Muslims. As a result they have been fighting and killing each other for more than a thousand years.

3. There was no such division among Malay Muslim until PAS was formed. Immediately PAS declared that those who did not join it are infidels (kafir). But the most potent cause of the split among Malay Sunnis is due to the pronouncement of Hadi Awang, presently the President of PAS. His diatribe against UMNO and condemnation of UMNO Malays as kafirs (apostates or infidels) has resulted in the rejection of PAS members of UMNO Imams during prayers. They would hold separate prayers behind their own Imam.
