When asked for comments on rampant violence by the hard-line Islam Defenders Front (FPI), the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) secretary general Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu questioned the group’s decision to label themselves as an Islamic community.
“From where did they get the license to do such things? When somebody says ‘I am doing this in the name of Islam,’ we have to question who gave them the license to speak on behalf of Islam,” Ihsanoglu told reporters at the Presidential Office on Monday.
He reiterated that Islam has a standard for the Holy Koran and sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Muhammad).
“Of course interpretation of the Holy Koran and the sunnah should only be by the authorities and it should be in context,” Ihsanoglu went on as reported by The Jakarta Post.
Ihsanogul spoke to the press after he, along with other OIC officials including members of the newly established Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC), met with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the latter’s office.
Members of the IPHRC are holding their first meeting at the Aryaduta Hotel in Jakarta until Friday. (dar)
