YUSMAN ROY the interesting cleric..
“The problem with many Muslims in Indonesia is that they don’t think for themselves,” he told The Jakarta Post. “They just follow whatever the leader says.
“They stand in the mosque and mumble, but they don’t understand what the clerics are saying because they don’t know Arabic. What’s the problem with using Indonesian? God understands everything we think and say whatever the language.”

Interesting article of Yusman Roy’s struggle to stand by his interesting point of view.
This may have nothing to do with the above article, but sometimes I wish that a law is made to have all clerics to have to go to a special school before they are all able to preach. Just to divide between the ones that actually know what they’re talking about and the ones whose brains are up their ass.. pardon my language.. it’s just that I find way too many Muslim leaders in Indonesia that are not leading us to move forward, instead with their narrow mindedness caused by their lack of knowledge and ignorance, they are leading more and more people toward destruction, worse violence.
