JAKARTA - The Grand Imam of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) Rizieq Shihab said that the injustice that occurs in society can become a time bomb that can explode at any time. Rizieq Shihab asked the government and law enforcement officials to take this matter seriously.
"This is not allowed, you can't. This could be a time bomb that could explode at any time. If you don't want a bloody revolution, if you don't want a social revolution, fix it," said Rizieq in a video broadcast on YouTube Front TV, Thursday, November 12th.
Rizieq assessed that currently there are many injustices in the community. One of them is the number of criminalization of ulama, but on the one hand those whom he deems insulting Islam and the ulama are still free to roam without any clear legal process.
He even made himself an example of how ulama were criminalized. "I don't have anything yet, I haven't just returned (arguably, ed), 'later Habib Rizieq we will reopen the case.' Wow, what is this. Don't open the existing case," he said.
"That's a case reported by the community, blasphemy, you didn't check the cleric first. That's Denny Siregar, Ade Armando, why did you let it. Why did you leave Abu Janda. Guntur Romli you let it. Uphold justice, whoever is in the wrong process," he added.
He said this should not happen continuously. Groups that are opposed to the government, he continued, should not then be found guilty and prosecuted.
Furthermore, Rizieq requested that the criminalization of ulama must be stopped immediately by the government. In addition, he asked a number of clerics who are currently in detention to be released. If this is done by the government, Rizieq and the ulama will be ready to carry out a dialogue for reconciliation with the government.
"I agree, we are ready at any time (dialogue, ed) but stop criminalizing the ulema first. Stop criminalizing the activists, show good intentions. If you want dialogue, want reconciliation, ahlan wa sahlan. We are ready for dialogue, we are ready for peace, we are ready to live. without commotion. But free our scholars, our habibs, free our figures. There are still many of our scholars who suffer in prison, "he said.
"Free Ustaz Abu Bakar Ba'asyir who is already old, free Habib Bahar bin Smith who was wronged, free Doctor Syahganda Nainggolan, free Mr Anton Permana, free Jumhur Hidayat. Free first, free them first, free workers first, free students, free demonstrators , free students who until now have filled the detention rooms. Free them first, "he added.
In addition, if dialogue occurs, he asks that it be done both ways. "Tell what the government wants, what the habib and ulama want. Tell us later. We will hear. You want to talk three hours, four hours, five hours, 12 hours we are ready to hear. But after you talk, listen, we will talk," he concluded. .
