Vice Head of the World Ulama Union, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang has urged Muslims all over the world to unite to defend Islam from humiliation by other parties.

He said at present, Muslims were being slaughtered all over the world, especially the people of Palestine and other West Asian countries.

"Muslims are now being slaughtered all over the world...the Palestinians are the settlers of Baitulmaqdis, the traders. If Muslims unite, Islam will remain strong," he said.

Abdul Hadi who is also the president of PAS said this in his speech at the dinner of the Fourth Asian International Meeting on Ummah Unity which was held for three days beginning Thursday.

Also present were PAS spiritual leader Hashim Jasin, PAS deputy president Datuk Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man, Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob and PAS vice-president Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah.-- BERNAMA
