Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
President and members of Commission VIII DPR RI rains on the Minister of Religion Fachrul Razi with various criticisms related to his controversial statements about the infiltration radicalism through the people Handsome dan hafiz Al-Qur’an.
The criticisms were relayed at a working meeting with the Minister of Religion at the MPR / DPR Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday (8/9), which lasted more than three hours.
Commission VIII Chairman Yandri Susanto launched the criticism with reports from various parties who were offended by Fachrul’s statement because it was deemed inappropriate by what a religion minister said.
He admitted that he had recently received many reports from boarding school caregivers and academics protesting against Fachrul’s words.
“There are so many scholars who contacted us, the Islamic boarding schools that print the Quran, including our boarding schools, including my family, many of whom have memorized the Quran. I am very offended, sir,” Yandri said.
Yandri viewed the statement as representing people who mastered Islam and memorized the Qur’an as a radical group. In fact, the memorizers of the Quran are not radical, but they are actually practicing religious teachings.
“I myself suggest that my children speak Arabic and memorize the Koran. If the government accuses the radicals, they cannot, sir,” Yandri said.
Additionally, RI PDR Commission VIII Vice Chair Ace Hasan Syadzily also criticized Fachrul regarding this matter. He questioned that Fachrul did not see other variables such as the massive penetration of social networks for radicalism to develop in Indonesia.
“If you say there have been intrusions, why don’t you look at other variables? Social media, for example, can penetrate through that,” Ace said.

DPR Commission VIII member Ali Taher Parasong even asked Fachrul to stop issuing statements related to radicalism that could bring back controversy in the community.
Ali was sad too, Fachrul, who is actually Muslim, actually made a statement about the penetration of radicalism through handsome boys and Hafiz Al-Qur’an.
“Until I ask, Mr. Minister of Islam or not? I apologize for suuzan’s feeling towards someone who can’t really, but the sentiment is not good,” Ali said.
Seeing the controversy, Ali even hinted that Fachrul is better suited to serve as a defense minister than a religion minister.
According to him, Fachrul has not been able to control or guide the smooth running of the various duties and functions of the Ministry during his tenure as Minister of Religion.
“Regarding radicalism, the Minister of Religion did not understand the functions of religion and the function of education. Without wanting to downplay the Minister of Religion, this is a good candidate to be the Minister of Defense and Security or to become a the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs instead of the Minister of Religion, “Ali said.
Fachrul later clarified his statement after being bombarded with criticism by members and leaders of Commission VIII.
He explained that the statement was transmitted during an internal interrogation of state officials in the Ministry of the PAN RB with the topic ASN No Radicalism. Fachrul admitted that he did not know if the event was open to the public.

In his questioning at the event, Fachrul asked the government to pay attention to recruiting issues, additional education by the government, and during ASN services in the office. Because on weekdays, Muslim ASNs generally pray and perform worship activities in the office mosque.
Fachrul then mentioned how intelligence works, which often includes attractive and knowledgeable people to run its operations.
“That’s one way to get into intelligence, right? We think so. Maybe international intelligence bringing intelligence people, bringing beautiful people, broad knowledge in certain communities,” Fachrul said.
Fachrul then likened the intelligence operation to Dutch intellectual Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje’s infiltration of Aceh during the Dutch colonial era.
Hurgronje was a Dutchman who was able to conquer Aceh thanks to his tenacity and cunning in dividing the people in Serambi Mekah.
He claimed that the Dutch government at the time was smart in choosing Hurgronje to divide the people of Aceh. Because, he said, Hurgronje himself was chosen because he had a good knowledge of Islam to be able to pit the people of Aceh against each other.
“So if the children are handsome, what we really need is good religious knowledge. But first we have to check,” Fachrul said.
Seeing this problem, Fachrul asked the mosque administrators to verify and track the records of the social media accounts of people who often participate in congregational conferences and imams. This is so that the person does not transmit radicalism to the congregation in the mosque.
