MUI: Bombing perpetrators are enemy of Islam

The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) urges the whole nation to condemn the suicide bomb attack that hit a mosque at the Cirebon Police complex during Friday prayers.

            “The bombing attack is a real evidence that the terror perpetrators are the enemy of Islam followers,” head of the Inter Religion Harmony Affair Slamet Effendy Yusuf told The Jakarta Post over the telephone on Friday.  

Concerning the bombing attack in Cirebon, people and Islam followers should be determined in giving no support and sympathy to terrorism, he said.

            Slamet said he believed people behind the bombing attack did not understand the values in Islam.  

            “If the perpetrators think that they are carrying out Jihad, they are wrong and they must be misled!” Slamet said.
