MUI's edicts

"More criticism has been levied against the controversial edicts issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), this time from the world's largest Muslim organization, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), which has around 40 million members."

Interfaith marriage? Pluralism? Secularism? Liberalism? Haram this, haram that. Thankfully, God, in His infinite wisdom, regardless of the name, color, creed, race and favorite language mankind has ascribed to Him, still gives the same Sun and rain to the sinner the next day.

I would rather have 50 loving couples entering interfaith marriages, producing open-minded children, than one corrupt official.
