According to him, kicking offerings is not the style of the UIN Suka campus which upholds diversity.
“Obviously this is not in accordance with our attitude. This UIN has a strong tradition of interreligious dialogue. From research, UIN is seen as the founder of harmony, the foundation of tolerance that affects the national scale. This is not in accordance with our core values,” said Al Makin, to reporters, Friday (14/1/2022).
Despite admitting to being disappointed with HF, Al Makin asked the public to forgive HF. He said that what HF did was wrong, but society also cannot kill one’s character.
“Yes, disappointed must be disappointed, the Indonesian people must be disappointed. But that disappointment should not kill someone’s character,” he said.
Indonesians, continued Al Makin, still adhere to Bhinneka Tunggal Ika and the Indonesian nation consists of various religions and sects.
“So, we must live in harmony and harmony. Sorry HF. I don’t think there is a need for legal processing, yes. There are still many more serious crimes, “he said.
He considered it unfair if HF was processed legally. It could be, he said, that HF made a mistake when he kicked the offering.
“I call on the local government, the police, the court if you can please forgive and stop it,” he added.
