PAS's deputy president Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man today urged Muslims in the country not to get involved with extremist groups like the Islamic State.
"Muslims, don't get involved with the IS movement and other extremist groups because they are against the teaching of Islam," he said on a Facebook post today.
He said the Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar's statement that the bombing at a nightclub in Puchong last week was the work of IS or also knows as Daish militants had caused worry among the people.
He said now is the time for the public and police to work together and not to play the blame game.
Yesterday, Khalid said the June 28 explosion at Movida at IOI Boulevard, which injured eight people, was carried out by locals who were taking orders from Daish militant Muhamad Wanndy Mohamad Jedi from Syria.
He said two people, a 19-year-old and a 52-year-old, have been arrested in Port Klang on July 1 in connection with the attack. Police also seized several sharp weapons and Daish flags.
He said initial investigations revealed that the suspects obtained the grenades used in the attack from a neighbouring country.
He also noted that this was the first Daish terror attack in Malaysia.
