REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Member of advocacy team of the National Movement to Safeguard the Indonesian Council of Ulama's Fatwa (GNPF MUI), M Kapitra Ampera, said the pornographic video that alleged as Habib M Rizieq Shihab was an extraordinary libel. He called it as a character assassination attempt against Habib Rizieq. "GNPF confirmed that this is a vile engineering to discredit, decay and character assassination of Habib Rizieq," he said when contacted by Republika.co.id on Monday.
Kapitra said the perpetrator who made the video is trying to build opinion in a crazy way. "How could Habib Rizieq, as was uploaded in the video on Youtube, did a monologue with a person whom he called Ema?" he asked retoric.

The video was viral at Youtube. Kapitra asked if it was really Habib RIzieq then why did not (the perpetrator) record the voice of Habib Rizieq and made it viral. Therefore, people could hear it.
Kapitra said the video containing text message chat did not make sense. He said if the habib has the intention of immoral practice, why did not he use video call. "There are communities who were very well organized, systematic, and massive to demonize Habib Rizieq," he reiterated.
