If they want a crusade, so be it. If they say that the peace that we enjoy is not good enough … we shall take up the challenge. Don’t take the silence of Muslims as a sign of fear…Before our followers fall in this battle, (Perkasa) leaders will first lay down their lives and die sprawling in blood…

– Statement by Ibrahim Ali, President of PERKASA, as quoted in “Perkasa ready to crusade against ungrateful Christians”, Malaysiakini, 15 May, 2011. A video of the speech, which is in Bahasa Malaysia, is available here.
