In my opinion, these two parties are the same. The members of both parties are the Malays and all Malays are Muslims. They are like two groups of the same type of peoples that wear cloth of different colours. They are like two football teams that wear different jersey. One team is wearing blue and the other one is wearing green jersey. Both teams want to win the game and both want to be the champions. Umno and Pas are brothers and sisters in Islam, they are all Malays.Gerakan, and MCA are another teams consists of non-Muslims and all of them are Chinese.MIC and Makhal Sakti are two other teams consist of non-Muslims and all of them are Indians. PKR is another team consists of Malays, Chinese and Indians.

All the teams are contesting with one another and all of the teams want to become the champion. In democratic system, the team that is most popular will win the contest and become the champion. In order to become the most popular team in Malaysia, they cannot be alone. Pas will never become the most popular team because only Muslims like Pas and among the Muslims, some will like Umno. In Democratic system, Pas will never rule Malaysia as Pas will never becomes the most popular team if Pas remain alone. Similarly DAP will not becomes the most popular teams in case DAP stands on its own. In order to become the champion and to become the most popular group Pas must decide to join DAP, PKR to form Pakatan Rakyat and Pas must leave the image of Islam, and Pas should not use the name Islam.

In democratic system, the one that wins is not necessarily the best team that can discharge the best services. The one that is the most popular will win and Thaksin and his party although dislike by the business communities of Thailand because he has monopolized businesses in Thailand still wins because he and his party is the most popular in Thailand CLICK. In case Pas want to win and becomes popular in democratic system and rule Malaysia, Pas has to leave his Islamic image and becomes the party like Umno. Umno members are Muslims but they do not carry the Islamic image like Pas and their aim in joining Umno is not to elevate Islam but to elevate the Malays and also Islam. To those Malay Muslims who join Pas because they want to elevate Islam, they had better think twice. By joining, an Islamic party in democratic system does not elevate Islam. When Muslims do the pure and sincere work of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w then Islam will be elevated. Islam is pure and it needs pure and sincere work. Islam not elevated by having an Islamic party within a democratic system. The sincere Pas members who want to elevate Islam they should do the work of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w the way the Prophet s.a.w did instead of joining any political parties.

In order to win and rule Pas that has an Islamic image in a democratic system must be popular. An Islamic party in a democratic system wills never wins as many people dislike Islam and do not like to practice Islam even though they are Muslims. Many Muslims are only by names and they do not really like to practice Islam. Pas will only be popular among Muslims that like Islam and the number is less. Pas can become the most popular only in the states that have many Muslims that like Islam. Pas should not dream that they will ever-ruled Malaysia in democratic system. The only hope Pas has is to continue to rule Kelantan and Kedah but not Malaysia.

That is how a democratic system works; the most popular even they are evils and stupid will wins and rule. The leader of the most popular groups even though he or she is evil and stupid will becomes the Prime Minister or the President of the country. When Pas can never rule Malaysia how Pas will ever dream to establish an Islamic Laws in Malaysia. Only able to rule one or two states will not make Pas able to change the Federal Constitutions of Malaysia. The slogan that Pas used to have, that is to establish Malaysia as an Islamic state is only a dream. We can talk about many good dreams but dream will remain a dream and it can never become a reality.

Many Malays who join Pas because they want to elevate Islam, to established the orders of Allah in Malaysia, to established Hudud Laws in Malaysia and to establish all those related to Islam. I want these people to sit and think whether the nobles aims will ever be achieve by joining Pas. In case you truly believed that it would, you may continue to be in Pas and I wish you good luck.
However, in case you think the noble aims cannot be achieve by joining Pas then you had better use your times and energy to do the work of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w like the Prophet s.a.w did in your locality, making your mosque as your base. Using your local mosque as your base, you should visits the Muslims in your locality reminding them about Allah and the orders of Allah. To the Muslims you should ask them to do the work of dakwah and to perform five times daily solat with congregation in the mosque. You should also visit the non-Muslims in your locality, inviting them to enter Islam and to recite the Great Kalimah, there is no God except Allah and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Detailed on how to do the work I have written in my other articles in this blog CLICK.
