    Just pray for my safety, as I may be the target of the assassin.

    I’d say something like a ‘jewish medal of valor’ might act as a sort of target for potential shooters…. gives them something to aim at hey?

    Gus Dur will have such a mixed legacy. On the one hand he’s been one of the few Muslims who has stood up for common sense a lot of the time during his life (lifting the ban on PKI and trying to establish at least minimal ties with Israel as two examples), but on the other hand his life in party politics has shown him to be an absolute despot. PKB in theory should be an excellent party to engage the nahdliyyin with Indonesian society more broadly, but ultimately its just becoming a family plaything (if Gus Dur was to finally pass away there’s no doubting that for all intents and purposes, and sadly without the need for any voting or process, PKB would essentially be passed on to Yenny).

    Indonesia is still waiting for leaders and political parties which are not mired in corruption, conservatism, paternalism or a mixture of all three.

    He (Gus Nur) is the savior of pluralism and tolerance, while the radicals are the protector of evil and intolerance.

    May God Bless you, Gus Dur.

    The world needs someone supporting interfaith dialogue like him.

    His party dispute is kind of entertaining to me though.

    Is this Jewish medal bestowed upon known thieves and enemies of State as well?

    See him for who he truly is.
    A megalomaniac who attempted to impose Martial Law and not recognise democratic due process.
    Megawati won that first election outright- Gus Dur’s back-handed maneuvering behind the scenes and his manipulation of Islamic parties to reject a FEMALE leader caused m any many probelms.

    Don’t honour this a-hole. He is a special kind of proto-bacterial slime.

    Give back the millions you gave your Chinese “masseuse” you anti-Indonesian Islamic turd (gus dur)
