MUI Asks Muslims Not To Be Provoked By Burning The Pulpit Of The Mosque

JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has asked the public, especially Muslims, not to be provoked by the burning of the pulpit at the Grand Mosque of Makassar, South Sulawesi, which occurred on Saturday, September 25, early in the morning.

The arsonist with the initials KB (22) has been arrested by the police. He admitted that he was hurt by the security and mosque management because he was reprimanded while sleeping in the mosque. MUI also handed over the legal process to the authorities.

"Because our country is a state of law, the MUI asks Muslims to remain calm and not be provoked and not to do things that violate the law," said Deputy General Chairperson of the MUI, Anwar Abbas, Monday, September 27.

"The MUI has completely handed over the matter of solving this problem to the police," he continued.

Anwar urged law enforcement to take this issue seriously. Because according to him, this incident can affect religious harmony. "The recent act of burning the mihrab of the mosque carried out by certain parties in Makassar is clearly an act of violence and a condemnable act, which will damage the atmosphere of social and religious life in this country," he said. Anwar appreciated the police who managed to catch the perpetrators. He hopes that the police and other law enforcers can uncover the motives behind the perpetrators.

"The perpetrators have taken actions that are not commendable, sparked unrest and anger among Muslims. Not only related to the cases that occurred in Makassar, but also those that have occurred in Tangerang, Batam, and Bekasi (cases of violence against Ustadz) in a short time. not too long ago," he said.
