CONTROVERSIAL RELIGIOUS MUST GO

MY COMMENT ABOUT, “CONTROVERSIAL RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS MINISTER MUST GO” by. DANI WISNU WIDIYANTO

Indonesia is democracy country. This country give a freedom to embrance their religion. Since Abdullrahman Wakhid ruled the government, Indonesia has six religion that are embranced by their society. But the main religion embranced is Islam. About 80 percent of Indonesia’s society hold Islam.

Islam has many branches, must respect an other branches. The main branches of Islam are Shiite and Sunni. Shiite is the official state religion of Iran, while Indonesia is the world’s most populous Sunni Muslim Majority country.

According to Suryadharma Ali, the sect of Shiite is hereticalo. We may sympathetic to this post because this statement on behalf of the government and this statement indicate that the government legitimized violation against Shiite. Indonesia that hold the motto, “BHINEKA TUNGGAL IKA” that means untity in diversity.

According to me, Suryadharma Ali shouldn’t directly accuse that Shiite is heretical. He may correct the sect, but with soft way. So there aren’t disruption among us.
