Mengapa pakai ucapan bahasa Arab kepada sesama warga NKRI yang mempunyai
bahasa dan budaya non gurun pasir? Apakah misalnya tidak cukup dengan
ucapan selamat siang, selamat sore etc dan salam sejahtera tidak cukup?
Kalau kepada orang Arab tentu saja sudah pada tempatnya untuk menunjukan
keakrapan.

religious greetings*

*The city administration of Bogor in West Java has vowed to resolve a
dispute over a church that has been refused a building permit for years
despite a Supreme Court ruling in its favor.*

Bogor Mayor Bima Arya said there were three options to solve the dispute:
either to build a new church at a new location with a new building permit
(IMB), to relocate the church or to apply a land-sharing scheme.

“I’m very optimistic that the GKI Yasmin [dispute] will be resolved soon. I
hope there will be good news for Christmas this year,” he said on Tuesday
as quoted by *tribunnews.com <http://tribunnews.com>.*

“We have agreed [to focus] on the options for a solution; we will no longer
discuss legal issues from the past,” Bima added as reported by *tempo.co
<http://tempo.co>. *“This is a significant step in a process of years.

Bima went on to say that the progress came after meetings involving the
Ombudsman and a group of seven people comprising city officials as well as
representatives of the Muslim community and GKI Yasmin.

In response to the statement, Ifan Haryanto, the head of the Bogor City
chapter of Indonesia’s largest Islamic organization, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU),
said through a press release made available to *The Jakarta Post *that the
group backed the city administration’s move.

“[We] fully support the Bogor mayor’s policy that aims at realizing a
peaceful and tolerant city of Bogor, in line with the NU’s principle of
appreciating differences and respecting those with different life
principles,” he said.

Back in 2008, the Bogor city administration issued a decree freezing the
GKI church’s building permit, in response to protest from some residents.

The Bandung State Administrative Court (PTUN) and the State Administrative
High Court in Jakarta ruled in favor of the church and ordered the
administration to revoke the decree. In 2010, the Supreme Court also ruled
in favor of GKI Yasmin.

However, Bima’s predecessor, Diani Budiarto, revoked the church’s building
permit in 2011, forcing the congregation to hold sermons, including
Christmas celebrations, outside the building for years, since they did not
have a place to worship.
