Secularism is to blame

Secularism is to blame

From Media Indonesia

Indonesians are unfortunate. For several years they have been
suffering from a protracted economic crisis characterized by
price hikes in almost every aspect of life, ranging from
education and daily necessities, to electricity and fuel. At the
same time, the government officials that should be helping them
have used their positions to enrich themselves.

In short, government officials have made the people cash cows.
Rather than serving the people, as they should, it is the people
that must serve them. These government officials use bribes to
get their positions, and once they have these positions they use
them to get back their bribe money.

In a letter an elementary school student wrote to the
President, he tells the story of a state leader who brings food
to his starving people. In Indonesia today, state leaders do not
spend even a second thinking about the plight of the people.

All of this is the result of secularism. The only solution is
to enforce Islamic law.
