   Disgusting

   I mean, those naked statues and paintings of women, not the clerics of course.

   Is this a joke?

   Possibly offended by the sight of belly buttons?

   I would be curious to know what the clerics’ actual reaction was.

   I always thought that guests had an obligation to respect the culture of the host. The batik probably drew attention to the funny bits – ‘why is that stue wearing a skirt?’

   Perhaps those clerics were undersize. Maybe.

   I live in Bogor, I’ve been to the palace,..even inside the main room, inviting in d nice lunch with some groups,saw beautiful paintings,..nude. They all beautiful. It’s a big joke when they covered them to show some respect to guests. Guests the one who should be respect to us,..the host!!! We have different culture anyway. I’m moslem, and I’m proud of it, but irritate me if we must refer to ‘arabic’ ways of dressing,..
   Wake up, it’s Indonesia, Islam in Indonesia is different with arab,..the culture blend in it. Admit it. So please,..could be more wise on it? Could we become good ambassador for Islam in Indonesia by showing ‘lovely’ stuffs that blend with our cultures? I would love people see islam in Indonesua as beautiful one. Covering the statues, which is old one with batik? It’s joke,..for crying out loud. Thanks.
