JAKARTA: The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) repeatedly asked the Islam Defenders
Front (FPI) not to use violence to achieve its goals — but to no avail, MUI chairman Amidhan said Thursday.
MUI is an umbrella institution for Islamic mass organizations — from moderate to radical — but has no authority to disband groups deemed anarchist, he added.
Amidhan made the comment after meeting with Vice President Boediono in Jakarta. The MUI head responded to reports of public anger after the FPI forcibly dispersed a meeting in Banyuwangi, East Java, attended by three legislators from Jakarta last week.
FPI denied its involvement and said the raid was conducted by other local Islamic groups who thought the gathering was a meeting of former activists of the defunct Indonesian Communist Party (PKI).
The incident revived calls to disband FPI, which has allegedly used violence to vandalize places and disrupt activities it deems un-Islamic. — JP
