Gus Dur

As a foreigner, I'm very pleased at having Abdurrahman Wahid
elected chairman of NU for the next term.

Abdurrahman Wahid represents, for me, a Moslem intellectual
trying to narrow the gap between Islamic culture and western
culture. He is a brand new type of Indonesian Moslem who accepts
believers of other religions as his equals.

Thank you to Abdurrahman Wahid for trying to help Westerners
understand Islam.
