If you want consistent and consistently enforce the blasphemy laws, among others in Article 156a of the Criminal Code, then the scholars who gave fatwa to declare Shiite, Ahmadiyya, etc as heretical should also be arrested, tried and sent to prison. Why and what are the arguments?………

“Punishable by imprisonment for five years anyone ever intentionally publicly issued feelings or actions: a. which in principle is hostility, abuse or desecration of a religion followed in Indonesia, “said a letter of Article 165a of the Criminal Code.

Subjects law in Article 165a of the Criminal Code is a letter ‘whoever’, that is, anyone. No exception in boarding school scholars, clerics in the MUI, both in area and in Jakarta.
