FMT - Lawyer Nik Elin hits back at Perkasa (extracts):
![]()
Perkasa and the Jabatan2 Agama Negeri plus Tai-Koe JAKIM don't like upstarts especially females like Nik Elin, Siti Kasim, Marina Mahathri, SIS (Zainah Anwar), etc. They want domination in Islamic indoctrination for power, for their own interests.

Activist lawyer Nik Elin Rashid has accused Perkasa of blindness in matters of faith in retaliation against the group’s allegation that she is ignorant about Islam.
Speaking to FMT, she said Perkasa’s statement against her showed that it had failed to appreciate a famous saying of the Prophet to the effect that Islam allows for differences of opinion and another hadith, equally well known, about God’s love for seekers of knowledge.
Perkasa’s criticism came on Thursday in response to a Facebook post in which Nik Elin argued that the Quranic injunction regarding chastity did not mean that women must cover their hair.
Amini Amir Abdullah, who heads Perkasa’s Islamic affairs department, warned her against speaking on matters about which she had no knowledge. He urged religious authorities to prevent her from spreading “deviant” teachings.
Nik Elin said it appeared that Perkasa members believed Muslims were not permitted to think or express their thoughts.
“Who are they to point fingers and say my knowledge of Islam is limited?”
She said it was unfortunate that there were Muslims in the country who sought to allow only a single interpretation of Islam.
“The blessed Prophet is reported to have once remarked, ‘Differences of opinion in my community are a blessing.’ But in Malaysia nowadays, only a certain class of people are permitted to interpret the sacred texts, being given absolute authority in all matters relating to faith and law.

"If God is just as Islam is just, why do laws and policies made in the name of Islam create injustice?" |
Furthermore, intelligent and well-educated women threaten them or rather, their coco-balls, wakakaka.

lelong lelong, bola Perkasa |
Thy coco-balls can be easily pulverised
By strength of our resolve and knowledge
We will then those smithereens sanitised
And make them for the cattle nice porridge
Wakakaka.
