An Umno Youth delegate today called on party members to rise up in response to non-Muslims who were growing bolder in challenging Malay sensitivities, adding that being too tolerant with them would see the end of Islam.
Negri Sembilan Umno Youth information chief Shamsul Amri Mohd Kamal told delegates at the party's assembly that they must not fear defending their religion, and anyone who called them extreme for doing so should face police action.
"Before, they did not dare disturb us, they did not dare criticise us, but now they dare to challenge us with all sorts of issues that shake our patience and tolerance," he said when debating the policy speech.
"Rise up, my race, rise up, my friends, realise that our patience and tolerance has its limits. Let us not risk it all, including our beloved Islam, just because we are too diplomatic and tolerant."
As examples of how Islam was being challenged, he brought up the "I want to touch a dog" event, the Court of Appeal decision that favoured Muslim transgenders and the custody tussle between a Muslim convert and his Hindu wife.
