Comment: No need to ban FPI: PKS

A- A A+

The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) says that there is no need to ban the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) despite the latter's continuous violent methods in preaching supposedly peaceful Islamic teachings. "Let the law handle the *FPI*."

Your comments:

It seems the PKS hasn't really changed its stance, they just want more votes: Birds of a feather or something. And of course it's really the police's fault, I am no fan of the police.

If the government doesn't ban the FPI it will lose their credibility all around the world. What happened to "Unity in Diversity"?

How is it possible that a small group can do so much damage to a country and the majority stays silent? Maybe that's the problem.

Doing nothing is dangerous as we have seen in the past.

Are they afraid that people will think they are not good Muslims? Wrong!

It is their duty to show they don't agree with these fanatics.

With the PKS, PPP and PAN not agreeing to sign the statement it would now appear obvious where the FPI is getting it's political support from.
