Jakarta, NU Online
The Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) has asserted that the concept of Islamic state (Khilafah Islamiyah) remained unclear within the frame of its form and establishment. The clarity of the concept would always disturb and question the validity of any independent and sovereign nation.
General Chairman of the Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama KH Hasyim Muzadi said here Monday that the existence of hardline groups driving the implementation of Khilafah Islamiyah had so far angered a large number of countries in Europe in which their constitution has been all of the time questioned by the groups.<>
"If the scene is like that, I am not absolutely surprised," Hashim told reporters at the NU headquarters, Jalan Kramat Raya 164 Jakarta.
Hasyim explained, up to now there was no one of nations of the world implementing governmental system based of Islamic law (syariah) even in many most populous Muslim countries.
"Even in the middle East countries, there is no one basing itself on the khilafah instead of kingdom such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Uni Emirat Arab and so on. So in the Middle East and also in Australia, the Hizbut Tahrir has remained a questioned matter," Hasyim said.
Hasyim called on the government to again and again keep on guard against the hardline groups like the Indonesian Hizbut Tahrir in the beloved country of ours.
The Hizbut Tahrir, Hasyim added, would take the same actions to the nation as that being taken in any other countries by questioning the system of the Indonesia's Proclamation Republic.
At the same time, the President of the World Conference on Religions for Peace questioned the government being considered to have no such firmness to the group. Whereas, he said, it would admitted or not threaten the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. (rif)
