Wanted a new pluralist in Indonesia

Statement of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the funeral of Gus Dur by mentioning that Mr. Wahid's Pluralism terjangnya show that football has been acknowledged by all parties. After the death of Gus Dur Indonesian nation needs leaders like him, although not identical, but at least close. He can defend entengnya and certain minorities are oppressed even against the "flow", but he's got one advantage the charisma of its mass base. Thus support to Gus Dur was certainly the first one is the nahdhiyin.

It is in defense of minorities have many NGOs who stayed and fought them, but voiced out loud what some NGOs are not in the hearing or may be ignored by the authorities, has padaha broadcast media. a variety of ways is usually berdemontrasi, advocacy in court, etc.. But during these NGOs do not have a big figure like Gus Dur and do not have a lot of mass base or solid, they just rely on the networks among the NGO.

Our biggest homework is to apply these ideas Wahid thinking about diversity and peace, we agree that peace would bring huge impact on all aspects of life. Indeed there are those who would reject the thoughts and ideas Gus Dur, but not if all the people longing for living in harmony, calm and peaceful. Hopefully come the new pluralist pluralism in Indonesia.
