Chairman of PAN Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The controversial video of the Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas), which degrades the worship of prayer, received strong criticism from the Deputy Chairperson of the Advisory Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), KH Muhyiddin Junaidi, and the United Islamic Alliance Front (FA UIB) Central Java-DIY. In the video, Zulhas described a group that was reluctant to say 'amin' after the priest read the letter Al Fatihah, influenced by fanaticism against pairs of presidential and vice presidential candidates. Kiai Muhyiddin also called the statement a blasphemy against Prabowo Subianto. This is the result of Prabowo Subianto's highly controversial behavior and statement, especially the most recent ones of ethics', "he said, it is not strange if they are analogized as a group that has already lost their common sense. Contrary to the facts is common for those who justify harassment, insults, and distortion after a moment of gain," he added.Kiai Muhyiddin urged MUI to summon Zulhas to provide clarification and withdraw his statement. He reminded that not following up on this could lead to many parties complaining of Zulhas for alleged blasphemy.

Furthermore, the Central Java-DIY UIB FA gave an appeal to politicians and political actors to avoid statements or jokes that could offend religious issues as commodities. This statement reflects the firm stance of the Central Java-DIY UIB FA as a representation of Laskar-Slamic Troops in the Central Java-DIY region and Muslims throughout Indonesia and throughout the world.
