From Malaysiakini:
PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang regarded Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan's act of swearing on the Quran as an act of kebodohan (stupidity) which went against the teachings of Islam.
"We don't have this practice in Islam. It is the Christians who swear on the bible," said Abdul Hadi during a press conference at the sidelines of the 54th PAS muktamar in Ipoh today.
HAHA. Ok. Firstly, I am glad that PAS has finally 'cleared the air' over Saiful's swearing act. Basically, it is STUPID and UN-Islamic.
Secondly, I am surprised by his comment that it is the Christians who swear on the bible. I don't blame him for his wrong worldview on Christianity. Rather, I blame 'Hollywood' movies and TV that show witnesses in court swearing on the bible to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. For a very long time, the White Americans have been wrongly perceived as Christians. Does Hadi know that there are the Church of Satan and Satanists in America?
A Christian can be defined as a believer whose faith is in Jesus Christ, God's one and only Son. Thus, he only obeys the words of Jesus.
So, let me share with you, Mr. Hadi, the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:33-37:
"Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors, 'Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all that you vow.'
But I say to you, do not swear at all; not by heaven, for it is God's throne;
nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
Do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
Let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes,' and your 'No' mean 'No.' Anything more is from the evil one.

Your point is clear and load. Christian neither practise such act. This people just want to prove something for their gain. God doesn't politic. God be the judge on this.
