Mac Donald ad

I am a Muslim but I am shocked by an advertisement which has been airing on SCTV and RCTI for the past week. The advertisement shows, on one side, young and modern Indonesian people that look ugly, while on the other side, people putting on Islamic dress look good.

This is indeed unacceptable. We should not forget that for many years government officials and leaders of this country have been in the first row when they perform the Friday prayer. Is it to please the Nahdlatul Ulama, like the Bagito show?

Please, MacDonald's, don't be demagoguery and opportunistic. It is detrimental to the unity of Indonesia.

And don't forget, faith is not in the dress but in the heart.
