JAKARTA - The escape of the transgender celebrity Isa Zega who performs Umrah wearing hijab clothes has drawn more and more polemics.

In the aftermath of the transgender celebrity Isa Zega performing Umrah, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) office located on Jalan Proclamation, Menteng District, Central Jakarta was again the target of a demonstration of hundreds of masses of the Indonesian Youth Activists Association (HAPI) on Wednesday, November 20, afternoon.

"The point (the demonstration at MUI) is the same, the point is asking (Isa Zega) to be examined and arrested. If this is allowed, from one Sahrul is passed, then there will be another Sahrul-Sahrul, who will do something like that," said the coordinator of the action, M Happy to reporters, Wednesday, November 20.

M Happy said that the passing of the transgender celebrity Isa Zega carried out Umrah using the hijab, as if Islam was being harassed. Whereas Islam is the largest majority religion in the world.

"Including those who passed Sahrul, the travel must also be checked. Why did they qualify like this," he said.

While the action at MUI, the masses conveyed the same demands. They asked the MUI, the Ministry of Religion and the National Police Headquarters to immediately arrest Isa Zega on suspicion of blasphemy.

"The point is one, to be examined and arrested. Because this has committed allegations of blasphemy, in our opinion. Because this should be transgender, if he wants a man, it's like that. Don't wear the hijab when doing Umrah," he said.

In addition to holding demonstrations, the mass group will also take legal action against Isa Zega's actions.

"For the time being, we are only taking action. But when there is no movement, we will report it," he said.
