Stop using uncouth language like ‘kafir’ on each other, Dewan Rakyat Speaker tells MPs
(www.malaymail.com)
“The term is in the Quran and Hadith.
“All of a sudden we are not allowed to say it.
“We have faith in the teachings of Islam. This is a Muslim, this is a non-Muslim. But why does this word supposedly have a bad connotation?” the Bagan Seri MP who is also PAS vice-president asked.
I've been online long enough to know the word "Kafir" or "non" is almost always used derogatorily. Same goes to "Zionism" and when the term "Jew" is brought up.
cannot possibly imagine a parliamentary debate requiring any of these words. good that the Speaker is calling it out.
