   Worrying development indeed. Both Muhammadiyah and NU are veering to the hard right. Muhammadiyah had already started this process under the leadership of Amien Rais and when the Islamist Din Syamsuddin took over, there’s no way back. Now NU is subverted from below, their leadership not strong enough, crippled by in-fighting, and certainly out-funded. Sh*t.

   If you don’t weed your garden, with love and care but consistently and inhexhaustible, pretty soon you’ll find out that the weed has taken over and, perhaps too late, all the flowers and thousand coulors that flourished have disapeared. NU has no gardener since Gus Dur steped down. Fundamentalists of all faiths (not just Islamic but of course also Christian) must be cracked down. There are no room for other interpretations than tolerant, a democracy cannot survive with fundamentalists. In fact they are the biggest threat to all democracies of all kinds.

   Differences among mazhabs in Islam happened since the death of Muhammad saw.
   We should tolerate differences of opinions in Islam as long as they do not deviate from the belief of one God, and Muhammad was the last messenger. Why we should kill each other ? Right to your interpretations do not mean the same interpretation by other sects.
   We should not ” hijack ” other mosques for enforcing our belief to the others.
   The war in Iraq was caused by disunity of the Sunni, Shiahs and the Kurds. In the end, the country was easily defeated by the USA.
   What that we get ?? Only self destruction of a country due to mistrusts among the Muslims? There are ” hiden hands ” that instigated the self destruction of the country. Indonesia should not fall into this trap.
