Summary
The Special Meeting of the Kelantan Islamic Religious Council's Ulama Assembly on 10 March 2002 resolved that the articles insulted the sanctity of Islam, the person of the Prophet S.A.W., and the ulama including muftis and preachers. It judged the writings wrong and dangerous, particularly for denying that knowledge is required to interpret the Quran, and contrary to Islamic creed. The assembly proposed action under section 120 of the 1994 Kelantan Enactment, media monitoring by the Conference of Rulers, withdrawal of the writings, a public apology and repentance, and advised newspapers to obtain religious authority approval before publishing such pieces.
