Darul Arqam

Darul Arqam

From Sinar

I would like to comment on the opinion of KH Hasan Basri (head
of the Indonesian Ulema Council) as reported in several
newspapers recently. The impression is that KH Hasan Basri has
unilaterally punished Darul Arqam. How can the ulema give a fair
judgment on Darul Arqam if it refuses to hold a dialog with its
members? Actually, their mistake should be proven first in a fair
manner. If they are proven to be erroneous, corrections could be
made.

Personally I am not interested in Darul Arqam's movement, let
alone interested in being a member of their group. But in the era
of democracy it is not proper to forbid people to worship God
according to their belief. Moreover there is no indication that
Darul Arqam has caused disturbances. I meet with Darul Arqam's
followers in campuses. The are good people. So why should we
consider them a threat?
