Since the bloody riot two Fridays ago, when gangs of Islamist hoodlums attacked police and shamed Indonesia before the assembled cameras of the world’s media, a lot of that overseas media have lost interest in what’s happening in Jakarta.
————-
Zuhairi
——-
- So for the sake of fair play, I must mention today a young Muslim leader named Zuhairi Misrawi.
- Despite the Jakarta Post branding him an ‘intellectual,’ he sounds a sensible fellow. He belongs to the NU, the Nahdlatul Ulama, a very large organisation, which sometimes comes out with rational thoughts, and this is one of those times.
———-
- Zuhairi is urging the extremist so-called ‘scholars’ of the MUI, who are still state-funded, so far as I know…
——

——–
….to back-track on their peculiar accusations of ‘blasphemy’ against Ahok, the Christian Governor of Jakarta.
As has been obvious to everyone from the start of the controversy, Zuhairi points out that it’s based on a misquote of a speech the governor made that was uploaded to the internet.
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/11/07/mui-must-retract-biased-statement-against-ahok-nu-activist.html
We reported on Ahok’s reference to a Koranic verse before, and you can check that out…
…but it’s undoubtedly true that, if the issue had remained a case of notorious jihadist gang-groups caterwauling as usual, few normal Indonesians would have given a tinker’s cuss.
But Zuhairi’s right.
“The MUI is the source of all of these problems.”
———–
The self-styled ‘scholars’ will be miffed, I guess, but again overseas readers need to see some examples of what sort of thinking permeates their opulent HQ downtown.

Ma’aruf

It was MUI’s Deputy Chair, Ma’aruf, who kindly advised everyone that FGM is a ‘human right!’

And here’s another of their ‘scholars’ talking.
===================

Syamsul Maarif, General Secretary of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Jakarta
“If the act of adultery is by a married person, then stoning is the sentence, while if unmarried, then it’s whipping,” he said.

- Would you take anything they say seriously?
- So why do the Jakarta Police?
- However, encouragingly, the Jakarta police have also started to take a careful look at a certain Buni Yani.

He’s the character who uploaded the video which the nastiest elements in the archipelago then spread around to foment hatred against the Governor.
Foment other people’s hatred, that is, because the nastiest elements have always hated him Jakarta Jew-Haters Boo Chinese Christian Candidate , simply because of his race and religion and his habit of calling a spade a spade.
Fanatic Islamist Wails At Christian Governor – “He Calls People Names!”
It seems this geezer has admitted making errors when transcribing the governor’s words before posting the footage.
Bizarrely, Buni was quoted in Republika, a newspaper that might charitably be described as ‘Islamic,’ on Friday, as demanding that Ahok supporters stop their provocations.‘
Buni Yani Minta Pendukung Ahok Hentikan Provokasi
http://www.republika.co.id/berita/nasional/politik/16/11/05/og581g377-buni-yani-minta-pendukung-ahok-hentikan-provokasi
Meanwhile, Ahok is showing he’s made of the right stuff, refusing to stand down as a gubernatorial candidate despite chicken-sh-ts behind the scenes seeking to dissuade him.
===============
Ahok
- Without naming the parties, Ahok said he had been asked to drop out on security concerns in the capital. He claimed the parties said demonstrations against him would continue if he stayed in the race.
I wish he’d ID the culprits, but good to see the good guv ain’t taking any cr-p from creeps that crawl to the sectarians behind the ‘blasphemy’ ballyhoo.
“I’d rather be arrested and jailed than drop out of the race,” Ahok said in the Pantai Mutiara area, North Jakarta, on Thursday
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/11/11/id-rather-be-arrested-and-jailed-than-drop-out-of-race-ahok.html
Good for Ahok! I hope that the many millions of decent Muslims who live in Jakarta will endorse his courageous stand.
If people must make an issue of religion in the election next year, which of course it shouldn’t be, my own view is that they should focus on ex-president SBY’s son, Agus Yudhoyono, who is also running for Jakarta Governor.

- Will Agus give a guarantee to protect freedom of religion in Indonesia’s capital?

I have read that Cuomo is one of the heterosexuals with CNN.
Otherwise we could call him Atlanta Rose, like that Tokyo Rose woman who tried to undermine American morale in the Pacific in WW2.
By showing so much anger that our fighting men ( and women) could be given authority to fight back if they are attacked by aggressive invaders, he is encouraging the enemy.
It is time people organize daily protests, surround CNN Head Office and demand Cuomo be fired.

CNN have lost credibility, because unlike Anderson Cooper, Cuomo and Lemon are too stupid to hide their hate behind a mask of journalism.
Cooper is just as consumed with hate but apart from occasional lapses, like after the Trump-Putin summit, he is smart enough to con viewers into thinking he is a professional reporter and not, like the other two, a Democrat propagandist.
I am confident Cuomo’s latest ravings have turned off a lot of people.
Who wouldn’t want our armed services to fight back if attacked?

CNN has been caught out again, hiding the big news about the man charged with the synangogue massacre.
It has been revealed that he is a Democrat activist, was an Obama volunteer and worked for the city’s ‘hate-crimes’ unit.

I guess CNN don’t think hate crimes by Democrats, even mass-murder, should be exposed,
