It is simple guys, if you don’t like it then don’t watch it. Turn off your bloody tele, nobody is forcing you guys to watch/participate/listen to their programs.

Solahuddin Wahid, or Gus Solah, a former vice-presidential candidate, complained on 20th September that television programs which had a Ramadan theme were just means to profit from the “holy month”.

So boycott everything that will “profit” from Ramadhan, including the sale of ketupat, greeting cards, parcels etc. Then I bet you someone else will say that the businesses are not respecting Ramadhan by not participating in the “holy month”.

Muslim Authority: “Your TV shows are interfering with our brainwashing efforts. We simply can’t allow people to see all manner of material and wordly things and then; horror of horrors, make up their own mind on these matters.”
TV Station owner: “Yes, well you see, we are working for satan, and he doesn’t take too kindly to us not slipping a few highschool kids kisses in to test the faith of the faithful. He will come eat our children and rape our women if we don’t comply!”

What’s this fuss about “satanic shows”???

Satan _was_ here, already.
And she already left us behind, not so long ago.

So, relax guys. She’s gone.

Well said Dimp. I agree completely.

So what if it violates Islamic law? As long as it conforms with the law of Indonesia, it should be fine.

NU, MUI, or whatever are not the government, so they should not act like one.

If they don’t like the programs, then they should not watch it, they should ask their followers not to watch as well. They have every right to do that, and the TV broadcasting stations have equal right to broadcast anything that does not violate the law of Indonesia.

I think we should send all the members of KPI to a country far far away. They’re like the idiotic symbol of Indonesia.

The government saw the non-sense problem, why try look around and find what is the most important thing to do, why in this month only they saw those TV programs that used scenes of rape, violence, and bad language, are you drunk or sleeping?

Look at the Poso what happened their and try to fix their conflict ok, this best thing to do.
