Integrity is everything

Integrity is everything

From Sinar Pagi

I am not a political observer, but I have noticed that the current political situation seems to be becoming increasingly unhealthy. How is it that state problems are equal to an individual's emotional problems?

I would like to remind Indonesians, and particularly those who are religious, that we are obliged to maintain the integrity of our territory, nation and state. Don't mix up the individual characters of officials with the organizations they once led. Such an attitude cannot be justified.

Clashes among us are useless. They will only lead to catastrophe. Just remember the Indonesian proverb: "The loser will turn into dust and the winner into charcoal", and according to Islamic teachings, they will all go to hell, and in hell nobody will help them. To avoid this disaster, please apologize to and always remember God Almighty, and the prophet Muhammad.

To all Indonesian officials I appeal that you follow the great prophet Muhammad's leadership. As a prophet, he could unite all Muslims around the globe. But why in Indonesia, which used to be an amiable and peaceful country, are there conflicts now. Is defending an organization more important than maintaining this beloved country?
