"If I am only the leader of an organization that has principles in accordance with the goals and society's ideas through the invaders and leaders of Muslims and all kinds of ethnic groups, establishing a country with ideology. What is clear is that Pemuda Pancasila will not run with Pancasila. If anyone thinks and considers riots as the ideology of this nation is funny," said Japto as quoted on the website. detik.com, March 23, 2011.
