“I certainly will not say many things. I want to repeat what I said yesterday, or what I said when President Jokowi gave me the first opportunity to deliver a speech in front of the entire Indonesian people.

Especially at this time, said Gus Yaqut, many are trying to make religion the norm of conflict. “What does that mean?

Gus Yaqut also explained how religion is currently the norm for conflict. “Religion is used as the norm for conflict in the most extreme language. Anyone who differs from his beliefs is considered an opponent, he is considered an enemy. Since his name is an enemy, his name must be fought,” he said.
Religion as the norm of this conflict, Gus Yaqut said, is also known as Islamic populism. “That’s a rule that was developed yesterday. We hear that the cool term Mbak Lisa (Alisa Wahid) is Islamic populism,” he said.
Therefore, Gus Yaqut hopes that Islamic populism will not develop widely. “I don’t want all of us, of course I don’t want this Islamic populism to develop, to expand in such a way that we are overwhelmed to face it,” he said.

“So in that first speech, I conveyed that we all make this religion an inspiration, a source of inspiration, not an aspiration. Because if it is a religious aspiration, people can be very dangerous,” said Gus Yaqut.
