What prompted threats against Perlis Mufti Datuk Mohd Asri?

Question

Accepted Answer

Threats Against Perlis Mufti Linked to Unanswered Messages and GISBH Organisation

Threats were made against Perlis Mufti Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin via WhatsApp messages, which he perceived as criminal due to the sender's use of the term kafir harbi, implying that shedding his blood was permissible. These messages were sent in connection with the organisation GISBH after an initial communication was ignored.
Initial Contact and Escalation

The threats against Datuk Mohd Asri began with a WhatsApp message received at 8.56am. The sender claimed that GISBH's business operations were unmatched within the country. When Datuk Mohd Asri did not respond to this initial message, the sender proceeded to send further communications that were described as provocative and threatening.
Use of Provocative Terminology

A key element escalating the situation was the sender's use of the term kafir harbi. Datuk Mohd Asri interpreted this phrase, which translates to "infidel who may be fought," as a direct implication that his life was in danger and that violence against him was sanctioned. This led him to believe the messages constituted a criminal threat.
Police Report and Investigation

Following the threatening messages, Datuk Mohd Asri lodged a formal report at the Kangar Police Station on Saturday. The Royal Malaysia Police have subsequently opened an investigation into the matter. The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code, which deals with criminal intimidation, and efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the suspect responsible for sending the threats.
