Said Aqil Siradj, the chairman of Nahdlatul Ulama, the biggest Indonesian Muslim organization, said Arab-sponsored foundations and organizations must be addressed carefully due to their criticism of NU activities.
“Arab-sponsored organizations always criticize our tradition. This is terror on our theology,” he said.
Regarding the Cirebon blast, Aqil urged the police to work more seriously. “The Utan Kayu bombing is also not far from our minds,” he said.
He guaranteed there was no NU member involved in acts of terror.
