   Yo, lets get one thing straight. Indonesia consist of many religions. not just Moslem. so basically you cant force that syariah sh*t in our faces as the new law. because it is a religion law doesnt make it automatically right. this is a democracy country but u need to be understanding with other community man.

   GROW UP!

   did you know that sharia only applies to Muslims, not non Muslims? so, believe it or not, nobody is forcing anything on anyone. just Muslims try to live in a manner their God told them to live by.

   Well, since Sharia only applies to Muslims, then what is the point of instituting new regulations which would only apply to Muslim, who are supposed to be follwoing god anyway? Wouldn’t make more sense just to make a law and not hide it under a religious blanket- and thereby make the law apply to all people in Depok?

   the law of men are not the same as the law of God. Muslims have to follow God by following His laws (the sharia), not the law of men. look at what the law of men had brought to our country.

   The law of men should never be blamed for anything that has happened to this country. People in this country need to be able to think clearly and willingly abide to the law.

   It would be very naive to think that applying sharia will fix it all. But whether or not one wants to think that way, is none of my business.

   and the law of God should never be responded to with paranoia. I’m not talking to Christians here, of course they will object. I’m talking to Muslims who were also paranoid by the laws sent by their God, Allah SWT.

    Pardon me, but no Islamic countries with Sharia advance in anything except the political and religious elites use the religion and Sharia to persecute the minorities, curb religious freedom, denying full women egalitarian rights with men and shut the freedom of press and thinking especially when this is used to criticize the political and religious elites on their shameful scandals and corruptions and also to offer more rational, liberal and reasoned thinking on religious beliefs.

    Muslims themselves should reject the imposition of Sharia by force. Our piety to Allah SWT should be based love and sincerity not hypocrisy and fear of the moral “police”. Who are these people can be “moral” police while they themselves are not free from flaws and sins ? Moreover which sects of Islam and interpretation of Qur’an and Hadits should rule on the society ? What about minority Islamic sects who don’t believe in those rules and interpretation ?

    Will Sharia itself guarantee equal rights between citizens regardless faiths and genders?

    Only secular nation, which separate the State and Religions can guarantee that nobody above the laws and no one will be discriminated on their faiths, genders, sexual orientation, races and ethnicities.

    Islam yes, Sharia is no no.

    No such thing as syariah law in the koran. Only commandments/guides for the faithful. Those who promote syariah law should be mindful on who are behind such lunacy. If they say that syariah is God’s law. then ask them to prove it.
