There are symptoms of radicalism and extremism …

JAKARTA – Head of Law and Human Rights, PP Pemuda Muhammadiyah , Razikin considered, the government’s decision to officially dissolve the community organizations (Ormas) Front of Islamic Defenders (FPI) it is believed to have undergone extensive study.

“Legally, with the revocation of the legitimacy of FPI in the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) of December 23, 2014, the existence of FPI as an organization no longer exists,” Razikin said when SINDOnews was contacted on Thursday (12/31 / 2020).

Razikin also considers the government’s decision to ban all FPI activities as the right step. Because he saw that the mass organization founded by Habib Rizieq Shihab herself was coming here, showing more and more actions that violated the law. “I see the FPI itself riding on the premises of democracy by violating the basic principles of democracy itself,” he said..

However, Razikin considered that there were much more important things than the simple controversy of the dissolution, which he considered should be scrutinized by all parties, that is, recently there are signs of strengthening of radicalism and extremism.

“I note that the FPI leaves room for the seeds of radicalism and extremism to grow. Whether or not the FPI deliberately opens this space, the government has data on it. Of course, this government’s decision will certainly generate pros and cons, however. As long as the decision is aimed at safeguarding the integrity of our State and Nation, there is no other way but to provide support, “he said.
