I am racist and my racism based on Islam, says Umno’s Annuar Musa
“I am racist,” said Umno Supreme Council member Tan Sri Annuar Musa, when trying to justify the racial overtones of today’s “red shirt” rally in Kuala Lumpur.
However, he stressed that his “racism was based on Islam”.
Anuar, who was the last speaker at today’s “Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu”, said racism was allowed in Islam, except when it involved oppressing others.
The Malay community in Malaysia was the most tolerant ethnic group in the world, Anuar said, adding that in Indonesia, ethnic Chinese Indonesians were not even allowed to use Chinese names.
“I am racist but it’s racism based on Islam. Racism is allowed in Islam,” Annuar told reporters at the end of the rally at Padang Merbok, which he claimed attracted 250,000 people.
Annuar then quoted a hadith (a saying of the Prophet) on assobiyah (Arabic term for pride in one's tribe) which he interpreted as justifying racism.
Critics of today's rally have said it could incite ethnic tensions for its insistence on defending Malay supremacy and honour.
Annuar also admitted that some of the rally participants were sponsored but claimed that Bersih 4's organisers also paid people to attend their rally on the Merdeka weekend. – September 16, 2015.
