Refl: Dari pada Suryadharma disuruh mundur lebih baik sekaligus dibubarkan 
Departemen Agama (Depag), karena dengan bubarnya Depag, maka Suryadharma bebas 
tugas. Selain itu Depag yang adalah sarang penyamun (koruptor) diliwidasi. 
Depag selama ini juga tidak memberikan ketenangan bathin bagi kaum beragama, 
karena rumah-rumah ibadah kaum minoritas dibumihanguskan dan umatnya dibabat. 
Depak tidak bisa menjamin umat beragama mempunyai tempat di surga. Urusan jemah 
haji dan umroh diserahkan kepada biro parawista. Jangan kuatir bahwa dengan 
dikuburkan Depag maka Allah akan murka, pasti Allah akan senang karena umat 
sadar bahwa tidak pantas namaNya dipakai untuk merugikan umat. Ayo ramai-ramai 
kuburkan Depag!!

Calls mount for Suryadharma to resign from minister post
Margareth S. Aritonang, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Thu, 02/02/2012 8:42 AM 
Joining a chorus of criticism from rights activists and religious leaders, 
members of the House of Representatives have called for the dismissal of 
Religious Affairs Minister Surya-dharma Ali for his failure to uphold religious 
tolerance in the country.

Muhammad Oheo Sinapoy, a House member in Commission VIII overseeing religious 
and social affairs who represents the Golkar Party, said Suryadharma did not 
have the competency to handle religious issues in the country and should 
therefore resign from his post soon.

“He has failed to fulfill his responsibility as a minister and he therefore 
must resign,” he told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday on the sidelines of a House 
session to amend the 2008 Law on Haj Pilgrimage Management.

Oheo went so far as to suggest that the Religious Affairs Ministry should be 
disbanded because it had failed to serve as a guardian for religious harmony in 
the country and its minister had often fanned the flames of religious 
intolerance.

“The ministry has always been absent at times of religious conflict. It never 
comes up with progressive solutions to resolve conflicts, including attacks on 
religious minority groups.

“The minister has failed to lead the ministry to perform its main duty — 
encouraging the public to respect religious differences. This may be because 
the ministry is too busy taking care of the haj pilgrimage,” he said.

Fellow lawmaker HM Busro said that Suryadharma had shown no leadership when it 
came to advocating religious tolerance across the archipelago.

“He is responsible for bringing down religious harmony in the country. He 
should have worked harder to promote respect and tolerance among people of 
different faiths,” he said.

Suryadharma, who also chairs the Muslim-oriented United Development Party 
(PPP), was earlier criticized by activists for calling the Shiite branch of 
Islam heretical because it deviated from mainstream Islamic teachings.

He had made similar accusations about the Islamic Ahmadiyah sect previously, 
which he also called 
heretical, and urged its followers to return to the true teachings of Islam.

Contacted separately, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) chairman Amidhan 
Shaberah came to Suryadharma’s defense.

He told Post that there was nothing wrong with Suryadharma’s statement about 
the Shiite community although he called on the minister to be more careful with 
the word “heretical”.

“His statement was spontaneous after he had a meeting with some Muslim leaders 
from Madura. He doesn’t have to issue an apology, as demanded by some people, 
because he did nothing wrong. However, he should have shown more respect to 
others when making a public statement,” he said.

Muhammadiyah chairman Din Syamsuddin said that although Suryadharma was a 
controversial minister, calling for the disbandment of his ministry was too 
much.

“The ministry has its weaknesses, but regardless we still need the ministry to 
accommodate all faiths in the country. Can you imagine how worse off religion 
in Indonesia would be if we didn’t have the ministry? It’s already bad enough 
with one ministry tasked with handling such problems,” he sa
