REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- The Chairman of Muhammadiyah, Yunahar Ilyas, said there were efforts which seemed to look for the faults of Habib M Rizieq Shihab. After Habib Rizieq dealt with the West Java Police and the National Police then a slander on the affair of the head of Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and a woman named Firza Hussein appeared

"It seemed that his fault could be sought. About the Pancasila, the highest level of his fault was only on ethical issues, about the language. The substance was the truth," said Yunahar to Republika.co.id on Monday.

Yunahar insisted that the case was not included into a crime, but unethical and irreverent. It should not be criminalized, because Habib Rizieq does not humiliate the country basis. He said it was related to his language style.

Yunahar deplored the police if the purpose of the processing of Habib Rizieq's case was for revenge as Habib Rizieq has mobilized the masses to pressure the police in making Ahok as a suspect. "This is not a part of law enforcement. The law should, indeed, be enforced honestly, fairly and indiscriminately," he said. 

According to Yunahar, Indonesia is a country of law. The country adopt equality before the law principle, so there should not be any discrimination and manipulation. He said if there were law enforcers who worked not based on law, they've been involved in politics. "Later, people won't believe in the law," said Ilyas.
