Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the largest Muslim organization in Indonesia, will not interfere in the legal process against Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, a NU executive said. "We will leave the settlement of Ba'asyir's case to the legal process. I am not a legal expert, and I cannot argue on (legal) articles," NU Deputy Chairman Solahuddin Wahid said here Monday as quoted by Antara. Solahuddin, who had just visited Ba'asyir in Muhamadiyah Hospital, added that Ba'asyir's case should be handled by the government but the process should not be against the law.
Looks like Mr Deputy Chairman can see Abu and his boys going up the river, and he doesn't want to go with them. But I'd still guess that Abu will go kicking and screaming — if he goes at all. I saw FoxNews Field Marshal Geraldo Rivera on the terriblevision last night, reporting as he walked among the ranks of the black-clad "students" from Abu's madrassah, who were out front of the hospital as a show of force to stop the coppers from taking their lord and master away. |
