JAKARTA Representatives from the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) speak in front of hundreds of masses from the Islamic Brotherhood Front (FPI). He said that in the near future the government and related parties will make a decision whether Al Zaytun is closed or not. However, there is something that the public needs to know about Al Zaytun. Is that right?

In front of the Ministry of Religion office, Lapangan Banteng, Central Jakarta, hundreds of people from FPI asked the government to close the Al Zaytun Islamic Boarding School and take action against its leader, Panji Gumilang. Because, according to FPI there are inappropriate teachings. Not only that, FPI said that Al Zaytun had received billions of rupiah.

Representatives from the Ministry of Religion also climbed onto the command car after meeting with religious leaders, kyai and habaib. He said that the government would make a decision regarding Al Zaytun, which would be conveyed by Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD.

Still on the command car, representatives of the Ministry of Religion also said that there were considerations regarding Al Zaytun's activities.

There are three things that Mahfud MD said and this will be the government's official decision. It should be noted that in Al Zaytun there are not only Islamic boarding schools, but there are also madrasas, universities whose human resources, including educators, education staff, students and students, we must also save them. " he said.

Therefore, the FPI masses and the public are asked to be patient and trust the government in handling the Al Zaytun polemic.

"You have to be patient, fully entrust the Al Zaytun process to the government. Isnya Allah will be decided fairly." he concluded.
