Din Syamsuddin Quotations

The reaction has been sufficient...in getting the message across.

We are cooperating with each other and with the government in order to disseminate true Islam. We must control the false interpretations of jihad.

There has never been any discussion about his dismissal, although there were indeed many demands from our members to dismiss him. But we never talked about it.

We deplore all the media, including the Indonesian media, that expose (that cartoon).

Do not go overboard and get trapped into a situation that can be used by elements bent on painting an image of Indonesia's Islam as an intolerant, rigid and anarchic society.

I don't believe them (the publishers) when they say there won't be nude pictures in (the magazine). I think that's just a strategy that will change later on. If they're not going to publish nude pictures, then change the name so it won't be associated with the original ( Playboy ).

We ask not only Britain but also the United States to withdraw immediately their troops from Iraq. Because the sending of the troops was a unilateral action and ignoring the role of the United Nations.

It (the attack) was an un-Islamic act. No religion justifies violence as a means to resolve differences in faiths.

We criticize the approach carried out by the UK to support the U.S. in combating terrorism through unilateral approach, ignoring the role of the multilateral organization, the United Nations.
