Controversial PKR MP Zulkifli Nordin (pic) has continued to be a thorn to the party - and to the DAP, a major partner of the Pakatan Rakyat. He has been let off the hook by the PKR despite aggressively trying to break into the Bar Council forum on religious conversion. He was given a show cause letter by the party on Sept 7 last year but he refused to apologise for his actions. In the end, as a face saving gesture, the party said it has been "settled internally" but the talk is that PKR feared he would leave the party. Essentially, he has been a headache and the party does not know what to do with him.
According to the NutGraph, the MP has tried to move four motions in Parliament to amend the Federal Constitution regarding the status of Islam. So far, he has been unsuccessful and at least one PKR MP, R.Sivarasa has distanced himself from Zulkifli's move, saying the party did not endorse Zulkifli's views and attempts in Parliament. According the the news portal, Zulkifli is also trying to move 16 other motions on religion.

Zulkifli is no headache-just another small distraction. The mood for change is getting stronger by the day and those that maintain their old ways will fail. I read somewhere that Islamist politicians are no more fashionable in neighbouring Indonesia so the future for this kind of politicians will be bleak!
just like Badruddin Amiruldin and Nazri Aziz who put BN in a spot
Send him to the taliban. They would appreciate some one like him. He has the making of a suicide bomber.
Bottom line for PR - choose your candidates well. Learn from this.
Anwar's cross to carry (religious pun not intended) ;-)
which family doesnt has a blacksheep ?
He is a trojan horse planted by umno. PKR leaders should get rid of him quickly. His intention to sabotage PKR is very clear already.
I think what he did was right as a muslim. To protect and to uphold the religion of Islam and all the law quoted in Quran. Up to you all for non-muslim whether to accept it or not.
Yes that is correct for semenanjung but for Sarawak it has to be a different story altogether brother! We are Dayaks.
He's just another useless clown who wants to project himself as a people's champion.
Anwar cannot/dares not do anything about it?

It is absolutely sad when any religion, and in this case, Islam is a) politicized and (b) "legalized".
The minute you legislate on matters of faith, then you are actually limiting "faith", which should be between God and man to mere legal requirements. One adverse consequence is that you produce adherents who are hypocrites, the most condemned group in the Quran.
As a Muslim, I understand that Allah teaches clearly in the Quran that there is no compulsion in "religion" which I believe is embodied in Article 11 of the Federal Constitution.
As a Muslim, I also find it arrogant when someone says they "want to protect and uphold Islam". What? Allah promises in the Quran that He will guard the Truth. My understanding of the Quran tells me that the task of the Muslim is to ensure that he strives to be a "good" Muslim by trying very hard to live according to the principles as enjoined in the Quran and the example of the Prophet.
Islam is not only about "fiqh" (legal) and I hope Muslims understand this.
Stand to be corrected, of course.
SALAM.
this guy only talk without making any sense. why would he wanna insult another country and we are talking about world wide.
