UNITY TALKS WITH PAS SPELLS DANGER FOR BN

Hmmm... now PAS wants more power. Thats ok they are in the very core of politics. Its ok actually, because in the end its what every politician wants, more and more power. But wait PAS stands for more than just politics. Being one of the oldest political party, actually it is the oldest as the old UMNO was abolished by Tun Dr. Mahathir remember; the party stands to represent the political acolyte of a pure Islamist political system. Thats right they have been honest from the start, that is to establish an Islamic government in Malaysia. But the question is how come thay have not won the federal government by now when the majority of the population of Malaysia are Muslims?
It is because the BN government had placed a barricade in Pas's way to Putrajaya. The BN government had been very intelligent in playing their cards right in governing the state as a secular state and at the same time claiming the the country to be an Islamic country. There is no intention to hoodwink anyone here. I cant agree more that Malaysia is truly an Islamic state here. Malaysia is a member of OIC and has played a very important role in promoting Islam and helping other Islamic countries in monetary, relieve aid to troubled nations and also in education. Today, Malaysia is seen as a champion of Islam. it should be. Which other muslim majority country in the world can share the same limelight with Malaysia as a Islamic country which has enjoyed excellent industrial, economic and scientific growth as Malaysia? take for example Saudi Arabia; although swimming in oil revenues, the country is a land where culture and religion are at breakneck violent collision with modernization. in Afghanistan, even the television was banned by the Taliban, a group that took Islam to the extreme and was blamed for the negative perception of the world towards islam. It was for the wisdom of the much critizised former premier of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir that Malaysia was able to achieve all this. He understood the mindset of the Malay population of whom the majority are Musllims and also his political lifeline where the majority of his support came from. He knew that religion and race were locked inside Pandora's Box which he should not open even if he had the key. If he had vouched for a more liberal Islam then he would lost his power a long time ago. Why? because there was an enemy waiting in the bushes, secretly watching his every move, like a hungry lion stalking a lost deer, waiting for him to slip up. He didn't, at least not in the matters of religion or race. The enemy I am talking about is of course Pas.
Now dont get me wrong. I am not against Pas or anybody. but since the inception of the party, they have labelled the UMNO and BN as whole as an unholy coalition that did not practise the true doctrines of Islam. They have claimed that they represented the true teachings of Islam and that the members in Pas are not just mere politicians but religious teachers that are appointed to guide the Muslims in Malaysia. UMNO and BN were seen as corrupted to the core. The publications of the party were always contemptious towards TDM.
But what happened now? The corrupt party suddenly became clean? the always conservative Pas suddnely saw the beacon of wisdom in UMNO style of politics? Honestly, I dont know. But whats
