On MUI's edicts

Reading N. Mark Castro's letter about the Indonesian Ulema Council's (MUI's) edicts in The Jakarta Post on Aug. 24, has got me thinking: Is the writer a Muslim or not? Because if he is not, then why does it bother him?

Mind your own business! As in Islam: "My religion is mine and your religion is yours". So, please mind your own religion, because it's odd for a non-Muslim to speak about MUI's edicts.

If, on the other hand he is a Muslim, then I suggest that he study a lot more about Islam. It is true that God still gives the sun and rain to the sinner the next day, but I thank God for showing me His power to for giving people different amounts of knowledge, and for you I hope He gives some more.
