MUI: Terrorists are Islam's enemies

A senior Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) official urged the nation to condemn the suicide bomb attack at the Cirebon Police mosque during prayers on Friday.

"The bombing is real evidence that the perpetrators of terror are the enemies of Muslims," MUI's inter-religious harmony affairs chief Slamet Effendy Yusuf told
The Jakarta Post over the telephone on Friday.

All people and Muslims should remain determined and give no support or sympathy to terrorism, he said.

Slamet said those behind the attack did not understand Islam's values.

"If the perpetrators think that they are carrying out jihad, they are wrong. They must be misled!" Slamet said.
