Statement of the Chairman, Executive Board of the Indonesian Nehdlatul Ulama

I told the MPs who came from India that the biggest victims of terrorism are not Hindus, Buddhists or Christians, but Muslims. Therefore, Muslims need to deal with this issue properly,” said KH Ulil Abshar Abdalla, Chairman of the Executive Board of the Indonesian Nehdlatul Ulama. Indian delegations are traveling to many countries to provide information about Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. A delegation has also reached Indonesia.

There will be no economic and political stability without eliminating terrorism

Abshar Abdalla further said that the people of South Asia want peace and harmony. Economic and political stability cannot come without eliminating terrorism. If people do not have a proper understanding of religion and it is being used to legitimize violence, then it is a dangerous situation.
