ICMI leadership

ICMI leadership

From Media Indonesia

It is undeniable that under B.J Habibie's leadership the Association of Moslem Intellectuals of Indonesia (ICMI) has thrived. He has given a great deal to the development of Islam in this nation. However, the organization is still in the early stages of development and much remains to be done.

I share Dawam Rahardjo's idea that no other figure is as strong as Habibie in his chance to lead Moslem intellectuals. But I also agree with A.M. Saefuddin, who said that Habibie should not be nominated in the next congress in December. It would be better if he focused on state affairs, though this doesn't mean that he would have to leave ICMI.

The other figure capable of leading ICMI would be Mar'ie Muhammad.
