Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
President of PP Muhammadiyah Dadang Kahmad suggested to the Minister of Religion Ruby Cholil Qoumas against Islamic populism with uswatun hasanah or a good example.
Dadang understands that the concept of Islamic populism that Yaqut means can be interpreted as radicalism or intolerance. According to him, these two things cannot be radically opposed either.
“Do not play the radicals against the radicals again. Also (I feel) strange, how is it that intolerance meets intolerance again. Let’s learn that something is treated in a good and moderate way,” Dadang said when contacted by CNNIndonesia.com, Monday (12/28).
Dadang explained that basically all religions feel they have the right attitude. He believed that the Ministry of Religion could act as an intermediary for all religious communities to share love with each other, even if they had different beliefs.
He considered the way the Ministry of Religion has dealt with radicalism and intolerance so far is inappropriate. Because it does not focus on the root causes of radicalism.
According to Dadang, one can begin to confront radicalism by improving religious education. He said that currently religious education is only on the cognitive level, not in practice.
“This may need to be improved, how does the Ministry of Religion have a model or design to make religion a good moral, something that is done in this life?” He said.
Previously, the Minister of Religion, Yaqut Cholil Qoumas, declared that he would prevent the development of Islamic populism. He argues that Islamic populism is an attempt by certain groups to make religion the norm for conflict.
“Religion is used as the norm for conflict. In the most extreme language, whoever has different beliefs, then is considered an opponent or enemy, whose name is an enemy or an opponent must be fought. That is the norm that is had developed yesterday or the cool term Islamic populism, “Yaqut said in an online discussion. , Sunday (12/27).
