PK calls for united Muslims

BOGOR, West Java: Presidential candidate Didin Hafidhuddin of
Justice Party (PK) renewed on Saturday a call for Muslim parties
to unite.

In his address to 4,000 PK supporters flocking Sampur soccer
field here, Didin said his party was prepared to take the job of
mediating all Muslim-oriented parties contesting the poll.

"It's no use winning the elections if unity among Muslims is
the price we have to pay. There is only one phrase which needs
voicing in this big war against tyranny: joining forces," Didin
said.

He said Muslim parties should focus their struggle on
advocating justice, which is in line with Islamic values.

But he guaranteed that the non-Muslim community would not be
pushed aside if his party won the elections because Islam teaches
people to love each other.

"One of our woman activists was threatened once by three
supporters of a certain party who said the first thing they would
do would be to crush PK if their party won. But she replied: 'If
my party wins, you're the first we will protect'," Didin
recalled. (24)
