MCA: Mufti's kafir remarks can spark IS attacks against non-Muslims

PETALING JAYA: MCA fears that the remarks by Pahang Mufti Datuk Seri Dr Abdul Rahman Osman in declaring certain groups as kafir harbi (non-believers who can be slain) could influence Islamic State (IS) symphatisers to carry out deadly attacks in the country.

Its publicity bureau chairman Datuk Chai Kim Sen (pix) said the mufti’s comments could spark a civil war and endanger those who oppose PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang’s proposed Syariah Court amendments.
