PAS positions itself as an Islamist party that upholds Muslim supremacy and non-Muslim inferiority, in contrast to UMNO 's Islam Hadhari ideology that upholds equality between Muslim and non-Muslims. Enjoying strong support in rural, more conservative areas, PAS took control of the state of Kelantan in 1990 , the first opposition party in independent Malaysia's history to defeat the Barisan Nasional coalition in a Malay state. In 1999 , riding a groundwell of popular protest after the arrest and conviction of former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim , PAS allied itself with the Democratic Action Party (DAP) and the new party, Keadilan , founded by Anwar's wife, in the Barisan Alternatif and expanded to take over Terengganu as well in the general election held that year. PAS has publicly stated its intent to instate what it claims to be sharia law, including the full range of criminal hudud law and its punishments, but has so far been stymied in a court battle since UMNO maintains that this would violate the Constitution as it is not sharia because Malaysia is already an Islamic State. One of the seven seats was won because the Barisan Nasional candidate was disqualified on a technicality. The party leader, Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang, lost his parliamentary seat. PAS also lost control of Terengganu, but retained control of Kelantan with a very slim majority of 24 out of 45 seats.
