Zainuddin should quit politics

From Republika

KH Zainuddin MZ is a renowned Muslim preacher who has been put
to a severe test by Almighty God.

This Muslim leader's engagement in politics could ruin his
popularity as a revival mullah for a million Muslims. Islam, as
an ideal religion, has always become the reference point for all
aspects of our life, especially disagreement.

Thus, it should be debated whether Zainuddin has carefully
thought out his acts.

What has disturbed me -- as someone who is not an expert on
politics and has agreed with his religious lectures over the
years -- is whether this Muslim leader should confuse his people
to solve problems in the United Development Party (PPP), which is
just a small part of life for the nation.

Would setting up a rival party really solve the problem?

If he thinks this is the right avenue to pursue, I doubt his
sermons.

So how will he lead the country with a predominantly Muslim
population and pluralism in political parties?
