YOGYAKARTA In this article, the profile of the Acting Regent of Bogor Iwan Setiawan will be discussed which is considered insulting to the Al Quran.
This assumption arose after Iwan said the sentence ready to "step on" the Quran, if there was a practice of buying and selling positions in the mutation of a number of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) within the Bogor Regency Government.
"When I talk about buying and selling positions, I say while visiting the Qur'an, wani (dare)," replied Iwan after being asked by reporters regarding the issue of buying and selling positions within the Bogor Regency Government, Tuesday, February 21, 2023.
After his statement became a polemic, Iwan apologized to the public. Iwan emphasized that he did not intend to humiliate Muslims and the holy book.
"I'm sorry that sentence came out, that's to emphasize. Humans are the place of mistake, to all Muslims I apologize if I feel disturbed," said Iwan, quoting Antara.
He admitted that he had no intention of really stepping on the Koran, because he, who grew up in the Nurul Haq Cisarua Islamic Boarding School, learned a lot about how to glorify the Al Quran.
According to him, because he wanted to emphasize that there was no buying and selling in the mutational rotation process, he issued the oath sentence as the highest form of affirmation. However, in his hasty condition, there is a wrong sentence regarding the Al Quran oath.
