Jakarta, NU Online
As the Indonesia's largest Muslim organization, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) will always base its all teachings on what so-called as Ahlussunnah wal Jamaah (Aswaja). NU will also continuously promote moderate attitudes in dealing with radicalism and any possible threat posed by extreme Islamic groups.

Secretary general of lawmaking body of the Central Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (PBNU) KH Malik Madani made the remarks on the sidelines of a religious "halal bihalal" gathering here on Friday, saying NU would be committed to contributing to the nation.

"NU will optimize work programs. All the NU programs will expectedly be socialized and conducted in (all) regional levels. For instance, NU health programs which are aimed at increasing health services to Nahdliyin (NU followers)," he said.

Malik added that any possible emerging difference in the organization should be considered as both the capital and the potential of NU, instead of making up a gap.

While secretary general of PBNU Iqbal Sullam said that the meeting could be at least used by PBNU along with its all chapters in regions to examine their own performance. (min)
