Why MUI Chairman?

Why MUI Chairman?

From Bisnis Indonesia?

Lately the Chairman of the Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI),
Hasan Basri, has made frequent appearances on Indosiar
television. He congratulates the new TV station that is owned by
the tycoon Liem Sioe Liong, also known as Soedono Salim.

Has the ulema made careful consideration in congratulating
Indosiar, because this station is airing violence and sex films.
MUI is supposed to be an exemplary agent but has given
legitimation to cultural views which are non-Islamic. In the
course of time, if that trend continues, the people could lose
confidence in this institution.
