An Islamic village to preserve the unique Madurese culture? Now that’s an interesting concept! Shouldn’t they build a Madurese model village then? Since when is Islam the dominant feature of Madurese society? Somebody is apparently not thinking straight here. MUI is filled to the rim with idiots. Unbelievable…

What’s interesting about this story is what is not being said. Why would an island like Madura which is mostly if not completely islamic anyway would need a model islamic village. I would think it’s just another way to try to introduce sharia law there without calling it as such.

The regents other comment is kinda funny. I wonder who should be more concerned about the new bridge: the madurese who will be influenced by the javanese or the javanese who will be influenced by the madurese?

Cheers.

Islamic village is a euphimism for terorrist breeding ground.

Please don’t let the identity of Madurese people be lost when Madura becomes one with Surabaya.

I am still thinking. Can anyone pick a Madurese from a crowd of Javanese, or the other way round? It is like saying the identity of North Korean will be lost when becomes one with South Korea.
