It's like Indonesian term "throw a stone, hide the hand"

Surabaya, NU Online The absence of H Mahrus Ali (the author of a book entitled "Ex-NU Cleric calls Shalawat & Dzikir as Syirik") at the Wednesday's open debate held in Sunan Ampel High Institute of Islamic Studies (IAIN) Surabaya, East Java has admitted or not made public upset. the former Rais Syuriah (law making body) of Japan's Nahdlatul Ulama Special Branch Board, Agus Zaenal Arifin said, Mahrus' childish not to come to the academic debate was like an Indonesian term 'melempar batu sembunyi tangan' (throw a stone, hide the hand) for having no courage to be responsible for his stance.
