Dr. Mohamad Asri Zainul Abidin

Dr. Mohd Asri , who was Perlis mufti for two years before quitting the position to move to Wales last December to research on Islam. He has said a few things on Islam and Malays:

"The idea of being Malay and Muslim should be decoupled"
"Islam was not given just to the Malays"
"Do not in your efforts to defend Malay right relate it to Islam"
"Islam was not sent down by God to protect Malays, but all of humanity"
"You cannot say Islam does not defend you because you are Chinese or Indian"
