JAKARTA - Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) activist Mohamad Guntur Romli or Gun Romli believes Roy Suryo could be charged with the ITE Law for uploading an incomplete video clip of the Minister of Religion (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas.

This was conveyed by Gun Romli in response to Roy Suryo's upload containing a 34-second video clip of Minister of Religion Yaqut which briefly explained about the sound volume of mosque prayer halls and prayer rooms needing to be set to a maximum of 100 dB or decibels.

On his tweet (@KRMTRoySuryo), Roy Suryo wrote, "This is PROOF of the Authentic Audio-Video recording, 100% ORIGINAL without any engineering/editing."

"This could be a case like Buni Yani Article 28 paragraph (2) & Article 32 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law, cutting people's statements at will, in certain parts to provoke SARA issues," said Gun Romli via Twitter @GunRomli quoted Thursday, February 24.

Gun Romli then presented a video with a longer duration than what the former Democratic politician uploaded. In the video, Minister of Religion Yaqut explains about the rules for volume.

"I have Gus Yaqut's statement of 2 minutes 58 seconds, he gave examples not only of barking dogs but also the sound of truck engines, prayers in houses of worship of other religions, Roy Suryo cut it for only 30 seconds, so that the main message was lost. Make a tendentious caption," said Gun Romli accompanied by a video from Menaq Yaqut.

The point conveyed by Minister of Religion Yaqut, said Gun Romli about the disturbing noise that is not regulated. This important explanation is then twisted in such a way as to equate the call to prayer with the barking of a dog.

"Some media use clickbait titles, Gus Yaqut if he feels aggrieved can complain to the Press Council, but if only with clickbait titles, 30-second video clips and Roy Suryo's tendentious narration wants to report, he must be prepared to be subject to Article 28 paragraph (2) & Article 32 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law,"

"Can the call to prayer be called "an annoying TOA sound from the mosque and prayer room" by Gus Yaqut? Of course not, because in SE, the call to prayer and the reading of the Quran, tarhim, prayers 10 minutes before and including the call to prayer are allowed. How come Gus Yaqut slanderous equate the call to prayer with the barking of a dog," said Gun Romli.

On his Twitter, Roy Suryo explained that at first he thought the title of the news about Minister of Religion Yaqyt was just clickbait. However, because of the many reports about Menag Yagut, Roy thought differently. He tweeted like this. "At first I thought this was just a media "clickbait" (to get attention only). However, when media like Detik, Tribun, Liputan 6 wrote the same thing, is it appropriate for the voice of the Muadzin - who utters the Adhan, the call to prayer - to be compared to barking Dog? AMBYAR."

In the video uploaded by Gun Romli, the Minister of Religion, Yaqut explains the important points of adjusting the volume.

"Because we know, for example, in areas where the majority of Muslims are. Almost every 100-200 meters there are mosques. Imagine if at the same time they lit the Toa together at the top. That is no longer a symbol, but a disturbance for the surroundings," said Minister of Yaqut.

"Let's imagine again, I'm Muslim, I live in a non-Muslim environment. Then the house of worship for our non-Muslim brothers and sisters turn on Toa five times a day with loud bangs, that's how it feels," said Yaqut again.

He then gave an example of other sounds that could cause disturbance. One of them is the sound of a dog barking.

"The simplest thing is, if we live in a complex, for example. Left, right, front and back, all keep dogs. For example, barking at the same time, are we disturbed or not? What do these sounds mean? we arrange it so that it does not become a disturbance. Speakers in the mosques are welcome to use, but please arrange them so that they are not disturbed," said Minister of Religion Yaqut.
