Moral movement
Moral movement
I fully agree with Nurcholish Madjid that most Indonesian
leaders are completely lacking the sense of the current crisis
and are leading an outrageous way of life.
Hopefully legislators, government employees, governors,
regents, and other officials will hear him (at least a little).
The moral values of these people are so low that it is
impossible for Indonesia to get any respect from the outside
world.
And that must change.
What might be needed in Indonesia is a real moral movement
taken to the streets all over, supported by an honest and
educated middle-class -- and not full of students manipulated or
press-ganged by Muslim organizations for unclear purposes.
