Ludicrous to the highest degree

DAP’s call for PAS to abandon its Islamic state ambition is not at all surprising. DAP is well known for their opposition to this idea. While I fully appreciate DAP’s logic behind such demand, I cannot prevent myself from laughing at this absurd demand. Does DAP not see that the raison d’etre of PAS is the Islamic state agenda? Setting up an Islamic state is the purpose and motivation behind everything that PAS has been working for. It is ridiculous to expect them to abandon the main purpose of their existence. How you would react if, back in 2003, David Beckham set a precondition that he would only join Real Madrid if they agree to abandon their pursuit to be the top club in European football. Or if Serena Williams demands that Venus abandons her own pursuit to be the world number one if they were to pair up for Wimbledon doubles? Or if the MIC demands that the MCA abandons its effort to help the Chinese if they were to remain in the Barisan Nasional? Ridiculous? Definitely. And that is just what DAP’s demand is. Pure and utter ridiculous. I wonder what DAP would say if PAS were to set a counter pre-requisite – that DAP drops its opposition to the Islamic state if they really want to talk about joining Barisan Alternatif? Now, how would DAP react to that double-dare? Do you now see the ridiculous game that DAP is playing?

Are you implying that without abusing the word Islam and Islamic state mantra, Pas cannot command significant support?
The Dap's challenge is reasonable and rightfully so. Comparing Pas reason of existence with sports celebrities like Beckham and the Williams is like comparing Apple to Oranges.
The latter deals only with the future of one person but the former can determine the future of million of people.
Ask you again, when is this push towards Islamic state begins? It was all back in 1980s - not during the Asri's, Dr Burhanuddin's or Fuad's era. Even Pas constitution does not state Islamic State agenda - ask almarhum Fadhil Noor.
