   Salaam Alaikum:
   How sad that such restrictive measures are always first on the minds of the Ulema Council and their ilk. In a large city like Jakarta, such laws only create an even more booming underground market for illicit services and products. If only they would work with the prostitutes and try to get them off the street, educated and free from their owners, if only they had services and counseling for alcoholics, if only they didn’t try to make every weakness a legal sin, they would be much more respected. Allah is the only moral authority.
   Allah alone knows the hearts of His creatures. He alone is their judge.

   everybody is talking about immorality and playboy etc as against religion, but MUI never issue any fatwa against corruption. they have to bear in mind that corruption or any means of theft is also against religion.
   it shows the basic feudal trappings such as being afraid of authorities, showing respect to powerful/rich (& corrupt) people. are we imitating india or what?

   Politicians do not like becoming heroes for heroes die young and poor. Politicians know the way of becoming of age and powerful lies in serving useless causes and neglecting to face the actual dangers to society.

   By pushing the anti sin law it will put more money in their pocket, otherwise where will they find money. Of course bilking from the businessmans who are in these business, the juice is there.

   I suppose this is also one of the way they thought of closing the rich and poor gap, like what the idiot Aburizal Bakrie says. “Ini adalah saatnya untuk membagi harta orang cina”.

   Tell these people to consult their Qur as someone said, prostitution is allowed according to the Qur.

   What will these religious zombies think of next.
