Annuar Musa: Love for my race doesn't make me a racist


KUALA LUMPUR: Umno supreme council member Tan Sri Annuar Musa (pic) says his remarks on racism based on Islamic principles, which were uttered during the Sept 16 'red-shirt' rally, have been taken out of context.

He said he fully agreed that Islam does not promote racism, and clarified that it was a natural instinct to have an affinity for one's own race, which did not necessarily make someone a racist.
