    Can’t dispute anything you say here Ross….I think there’s a general problem here that the authorities, whether police, RT, or government, are most concerned about maintaining ‘harmony’, and they will do that often by appeasing the guy who just shouts the loudest, is the most stubborn and won’t give in – appeasing him stops him shouting and it’s done regardless of the rights or wrongs in the situation, you can see it in ordinary neighbourhood disputes that have nothing to do with religion, and in cases like this – it would take a very strong, principled government/policeman/RT to go against this.

    Shame there seems none to be found in population of 250 Million people, or course it\’s not the thugs I have an issue with, brain deal losers exist in every nation and society. It\’s tiresome tirade of the majority who whine …”oh those people don’t represent Indonesia/Islam\”..well they do! The tiresome AND PATHETIC majority has handed the mantle to the thugs by their silence and acceptance of this behaviour, protests to the contrary is dangerous self delusion.

    ‘if they want to establish a sect of their own, they should not use Islamic prayers as a basis’

    I agree with the statement. If you wish to form your own sect/religion, then don’t confuse it with other religion’s ritual, otherwise you may insult them, especially if you sacrilegiously mix a sacred ritual with house music.

    It’s a shame the FPI thugs didn’t go to Palestine, they think it’s OK to go around mob handed with bamboo poles smashing up bars and clubs, but what a different story it would have been when these morons came up against trained Israeli troops!

    What can you say about this: Christians copied from the Jews, and arab Mohammad copied from the Christian.

    I don’t know, I’m all for any fatwa that bans house music. And if they extended the ban to include country and western, I might even join the religion itself.

    I like this.

    The FPI = F**k**g Pro*tit*ting Islamics are just about thugs and mobs playing gangster in their own backyard. WHen there is something they will just gang up and beat others up having people like Rizieq with eyeball bigger than his stomach.

    Whether or not the Israelis are well trained is secondary, they are referring to ancient warring weapons against UZIS.

    @burung koel
    that would be another topic, but okay. what can you say about this: some author gave his first edition book to person A, his second edition book to person B, and his third edition book to person C (or it can be different books but still from the same author and for about the same topic). which one holds the truth?

    @ sevenco

    It depends – are we talking fiction or non-fiction? :-)

    Dear Ross,

    Your analysis is very very sharp. Its remind me the thariqat bringing by Rumi which is doing dzikir with the dance.

    Peace
