Kudus, NU Online
The chief of Nahdlatul Ulama organization (NU) has called on its members not to conduct sweepings on entertainment centers ahead of the Islamic fasting month.
"To keep the situation remain conducive during the fasting month NU members are called not to conduct violence or take the law into their own hands because sweeps or order operations on entertainment centers can only be carried out by the police or other law enforcement agencies," NU’s general chairman Said Aqil Siradj said at the commemoration of the 87th anniversary of NU and the 20th anniversary of the Ma’arif NU vocational school here on Saturday.<>
Meanwhile he applealed to other Islamic organizations who plan to conduct sweeps to cancel the plan because the action is not right. He said NU members must actively participate in creating a conducive climate during the fasting month.
"Moreover NU is an organization that is based on four pillars namely the unitary state of Indonesia, the 1945 Constitution, the Bhineka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) principles and Pancasila (the five-principle state ideology)," he said.
"If law enforcement agencies are weak we must encourage and support them," he said.
He said NU members must follow the teachings of Prophet Mohammad when he established the state of Madinah. "The concept he used is not for establishing an Islamic state or an Arab state but a civilized state," he said.
He said people could understand the concept by seeing his respect to different religions and firmness in enforcing the law against Moslems or non-Moslems. "If we insist on conducting sweeps it means we are building a state within a state because we make our own rules," he said.
In view of that he called on all people in the country especially those in Kudus to participate actively in realizing the four pillars and avoiding violence which has often occurred in various parts in the country.
"Right now violences often happen like those relating to local elections, distribution of cash handouts. Some have even died during distribution of alms. This is very concerning and should never happen again," he said. (ant/mad)
