Gus Dur clarifies his Koran comment

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

During a talk show on Radio 68H on Saturday, former president Abdurahman
"Gus Dur" Wahid clarified an earlier comment he made in which
he described the Koran as the "most pornographic scripture".

The comment has angered his critics, including conservative clerics and
hard-line Islamist groups like the Islam Defenders Front (FPI) and the
Indonesian Mujahidin Council (MMI).

"The comment was part of four-part discussion. So we cannot isolate
it from the entire discussion," Gur Dur said in explaining that the
comment had been taken out of context.

He said that whether someone viewed something as pornographic was
entirely dependent on the person's point of view.

"I had this friend, the son of a kyai (Islamic cleric), who told me
that he was 'interested' in pregnant women. He told me he couldn't stop
imagining how they got pregnant," Gus Dur said.

"What Habib Riziq (FPI's leader) failed to do was ask me for
clarification," he said.

Azyumardi Azra, rector of the Jakarta State Institute of Islamic Studies,
said Gus Dur's comment on the Koran was baseless.

"I read the transcript of his talk show on Radio 68H. He was
referring to a verse in the Koran that says children should obey their
mother because she breast-fed them for two years. The verse mentions
nothing about breasts, which might have been referred to by Gus Dur as
pornographic," Azyumardi said.

"There is no verse in the Koran that graphically discusses any
subject that could be seen as pornographic."

"I don't know if Gus Dur was joking or serious on the talk
show," he said. 

Azyumardi said he could understand that some Muslims were angered by Gus
Dur's comment, but he strongly condemned anyone who expressed their anger
through violence.

Gus Dur also clarified Saturday that he was not forced to leave the
podium by FPI members during an interfaith discussion in Purwakarta on
Tuesday. He said he left the discussion because he had another event in
Jakarta to attend. (04)
